Show Me Love - (Thousand Afro House Remix)

Yes! I'm tired of playing on stage! I've had enough! Now only the studio. And this damn IA is ruining all the work of a musician and composer. I'm angry as a beast!!!!

BEAST.  ( Hissen Bax Concert in Dolbich  )

The ancient world is full of mysteries and incomprehensible stories. When you fall, drown in archival records in this ancient world, your brain slowly flows out of your ears and nostrils. Then only one question spins in your head, how was this possible? Then you begin to understand that it was another world, another civilization.

August 2025 Currently on residency in Italy !
These are the 2nd batch of 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds - manipulating them and stitching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. I have done a dozen or so since arriving a fortnight ago but not sharing them all (some are pretty rubbish). The idea is to have them done by the end of the day (or night) then move on to something fresh the next day. 
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA.
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi !

AFTER DARK is Aiko Nova at her most hypnotic — a slow-burning, cinematic dark-pop single that blurs the line between desire and memory. Built on a deep house groove and a pulsing bass bed, the track pulls you into a world of late-night neon and restless obsession. The beat is steady but shadowy, the synths breathe like city lights flickering in the distance, and Aiko’s voice moves from intimate whispers to layered, soaring hooks that echo long after the track ends.
The song captures that in-between moment: the silence after the party fades, the stillness of empty streets, the pull of someone you can’t let go of. It’s emotional, raw, and deeply atmospheric — music for headphones at 2AM, for midnight drives through glowing highways, for the feeling of being haunted by what you lost and craving what you can’t quite reach.
With subtle Spanish guitar textures adding a haunting cinematic edge, AFTER DARK feels both timeless and modern, a fusion of electronic deep house, chillwave mood, and dark-pop intensity. It’s a continuation of Aiko Nova’s 2025 run of singles — each track unveiling more of her nocturnal, emotionally charged world where sound and story are inseparable.
Turn it loud, close your eyes, and let AFTER DARK carry you into the glow of the night. This is Aiko Nova’s soundtrack for the hours when the world is quiet but your heart won’t stop racing.

Our Unfair Advantage

Verse 1
We don’t play by the rules they hand us,
built our fire from sparks they abandoned.
Two misfits finding rhythm in the static,
what we’ve got is rare, unstoppable, magnetic.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Verse 2
When the weight of the world tries to break us,
we just laugh at the storm as it shakes us.
Every scar’s just proof we’re survivors,
together we rise, together we’re fighters.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Bridge
I talk too loud, you overthink,
we trip on our shadows, stand on the brink.
But broken pieces fit when they’re aligned,
two misfits in love with a dangerous design.

Chorus
With you by my side, I’ve got an unfair advantage,
the world can’t touch us, no matter the damage.
They don’t know the secret, they don’t understand it —
love like ours is our unfair advantage.

Outro
Yeah… love like ours is our unfair advantage.
Whispered truth the world will never manage.

Our Unfair Advantage v. Funky - Bass Beast Reid....BA-BOOM, BA-BOOM, BA-BOOM BA-BOOM!

Re: Petra's dream
It stretched out wide and eternal, like no sky I'd ever seen, and I realized with certainty that I'd woken within my dream. And as I watched in silent awe, transfixed by the view, a crack appeared across the sky and cleaved the whole in two, and shards of blue and cotton wool fell silently around, littering the ground. The sun toppled from its place and quietly rolled away, as a boundless night revealed itself behind the facade of day. But not a familiar night, with dots and points of light, but countless nebuli and a billion stars blazed nearby like some galactic centre, vast, glorious and unfathomable from horizon to horizon.

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.
