Aiko Nova – "Santa Barbara"
An escape. A whisper. A digital spark turned spiritual wildfire. Santa Barbara is a dreamlike journey through virtual connection, emotional risk, and the kind of love that makes you leave everything behind.

With haunting vocals from DJ VERTEX and atmospheric production by Aiko Nova, the track blends chillwave, downtempo EDM, and romantic storytelling into something ghostly and unforgettable. It’s not just a place — it’s a feeling.

💻 Online love becomes real
🌫️ Moody synths, deep bass, pale moonlight energy
❤️‍🔥 For the heartbroken rebels and hopeless romantics

A SINGLE WISH

I'VE ALREADY BEEN SEVERAL MEN
BUT NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM 
ON THE STREET A LITTLE GIRL ASKED ME WHO I WAS
AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER

MY HANDS HAVE DONE MANY GOOD THINGS,
BUT NOWADAYS THEY KEEP CLOSED

DESPITE BEING KNOCKED DOWN
I WISH I HAD DONE JUST ONE THING

TAKE HER TO THE TOP      
LIKE A FLOWER WITH YOUR PERFECT PETALS
LIKE A LONELY CLOUD IN THE AIR
LIKE A BIRD FLYING IN THE SKY
IN THE SKY

WHEN A MAN DIES I'M AFRAID
WHEN A FRIEND DIES I WISH TO STAY ALIVE

WHEN A MAN DIES I'M AFRAID
WHEN A FRIEND DIES I WISH TO STAY ALIVE
FOREVER
	
I'VE ALREADY BEEN SEVERAL MEN
BUT NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM 
ON THE STREET A LITTLE GIRL ASKED ME WHO I WAS
AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER

MY HANDS HAVE DONE MANY GOOD THINGS,
BUT NOWADAYS THEY KEEP CLOSED

DESPITE BEING KNOCKED DOWN
I WISH I HAD DONE JUST ONE THING

TAKE HER TO THE TOP      
LIKE A FLOWER WITH YOUR PERFECT PETALS
LIKE A LONELY CLOUD IN THE AIR
LIKE A BIRD FLYING IN THE SKY
IN THE SKY

WHEN A MAN DIES I'M AFRAID
WHEN A FRIEND DIES I WISH TO STAY ALIVE

WHEN A MAN DIES I'M AFRAID
WHEN A FRIEND DIES I WISH TO STAY ALIVE

FIREMAX presents Unsaid NOT — a synthpop track infused with the pulse of 80’s electronic music. Built on four chords, it drives forward with punchy drums and bass, while the Crave takes the lead in a rap-like melodic voice.

The track’s name is born from this poem:

not to touch. not to wait. not to meet.
not to reach out. not to cry. not to believe.
not to be able. not to shout. not to cling. not to love—
thus the eyes look into other eyes.
…will they say? …they surely will not.

Unsaid NOT

AIKO NOVA
The Electronic Music Duo Redefining Emotional EDM
AIKO NOVA represents the next evolution in electronic music storytelling, where raw emotion meets cutting-edge production in perfect harmony. The duo consists of vocalist AIKO NOVA (Emma Claire Winters, 28) and producer DJ VERTEX (Tyler James Reeves, 31), two artists who have found their creative sweet spot in the intersection of vulnerability and dancefloor energy.
The Partnership
AIKO NOVA and DJ VERTEX's creative chemistry is undeniable—her haunting vocals and introspective lyrics paired with his meticulous production create an immersive sonic experience that resonates both in intimate headphone sessions and packed club environments. Their collaboration began in 2021 when the Portland-based vocalist met the Orange County producer at an underground showcase, leading to an immediate creative spark that would define their artistic direction.
Sound and Vision
The duo's music explores the emotional complexity of modern relationships through an electronic lens, with AIKO NOVA's crystalline vocals floating over VERTEX's atmospheric production. Their signature sound blends synthesizer-heavy landscapes with pulsing beats, creating tracks that are both introspective and anthemic. Their breakthrough single "Walls" exemplifies their ability to transform personal experiences into universal emotional experiences, examining the barriers we build to protect ourselves from love while simultaneously craving connection.
AIKO NOVA's vocal range spans from whispered confessions to powerful, soaring choruses, while VERTEX's production provides the perfect sonic foundation—building tension through sparse verses before exploding into emotionally cathartic drops. Their music speaks to anyone who has experienced love, loss, and longing in the digital age.
Creative Process
Working between VERTEX's converted garage studio overlooking the Pacific and various Portland recording spaces, the duo has developed a collaborative process that honors both of their strengths. VERTEX typically begins with atmospheric production elements—crafting the sonic landscape that will support the emotional journey—while AIKO NOVA develops the lyrical concepts and vocal melodies that give each track its emotional core.
Their writing sessions often begin with long conversations about personal experiences and observations about modern relationships, which then translate into the vulnerable, relatable lyrics that have become their trademark. This authentic approach to songwriting has resulted in music that feels both personal and universal.
Breakthrough Success
The release of "Walls" marked a pivotal moment for AIKO NOVA, garnering critical acclaim and significant streaming numbers while establishing them as rising stars in the emotional electronic music scene. The track's exploration of emotional barriers and the struggle between self-protection and vulnerability struck a chord with listeners worldwide, setting high expectations for their upcoming debut album.
Debut Album: "Afterglow"
Their highly anticipated debut album "Afterglow" promises to be a comprehensive exploration of love, loss, and healing in the digital age. With "Walls" serving as the lead single, the album is expected to showcase the full range of AIKO NOVA's artistic collaboration while pushing the boundaries of what electronic music can achieve when it prioritizes emotional authenticity alongside sonic innovation.
Looking Ahead
AIKO NOVA continues to establish themselves as pioneers in the emotional EDM space, with "Afterglow" set to solidify their position as artists who understand how to translate complex emotions into compelling electronic music. The duo's commitment to authentic expression and innovative production techniques positions them at the forefront of electronic music's next wave.
