Hurry Up And Check Out Efel’s Brand New Sonic Gem, “Slow Club”
For this week’s Electro Wow spotlight, I would like to introduce you to French producer Efel. He sets the melancholic tone for his sonic gem, “Slow Club”. The way he blends seductive vocals from Paris-based singer Naïno with hypnotic soundscapes is pure gold. To put it simply, just think of Efel as a cross between Jean-Michel Jarre and Goldfrapp with a contemporary sound.
This song kicks off with chirping bird sounds and mellow synths, then it builds up with pulsating chords. Those warm beats act like elegant food for your ears. As a matter of fact, you can tell Efel knows how to create a relaxing atmosphere. According to the artist himself, “Slow Club” is an invitation to freedom. It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary, and the simplicity of its cozy melody works pretty well. Overall, there’s nothing more comforting than listening to four minutes of “Slow Club”. Press play below.

Creative minds don’t cease in their efforts to find electronic background music for videos. The good news is that Shizo van de Sunflower shares his anniversary album which will be of great benefit to your projects!
Whether you’re uploading clips on YouTube or TikTok, here’s a 14-track material entitled ‘Works 2006-2016’ that will truly enhance your visuals. Despite the upbeat nature of most of these tunes, there are also a few ones showcasing a delightfully laid-back touch.
As a matter of fact, the low quality of royalty-free music was the motivation behind Shizo van de Sunflower’s wanting to help video creators. So, back in the 2000s, he went to Creative Commons and marketed the tracks on Jamendo.
In subsequent years, the evolution of his production techniques meant a dope flow while channeling his emotions into sophisticated melodies and rich instrumental tones. Consequently, he remastered his gems and decided to move his productions to popular streaming platforms.
Shizo van de Sunflower is still making a name for himself after his recent success with the previous album ‘Drone 1.’
To the surprise of many, he has surpassed over 20k streams on Spotify. Not to mention, his DnB single “Changes” is currently the best song in his catalog.
Well, from now on, if electronic background music for videos is exactly what you need, whatever first comes into your head should be his timeless body of work. At the end of the day, inspiring and encouraging others to visualize something with his sounds must be a rewarding experience for him.

Quickly emerging as a dynamic talent within the Indie Electronic music scene, NASAYA has become a force to be reckoned with. Staggering to new heights, the Los Angeles-based artist and producer joins ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective for his Electronica EP, ‘RÊVES.’
Following his latest successful single “RUMMELSBURG” and after recently supporting ODESZA on their Last Goodbye tour, ‘RÊVES’ brings a refreshing and immersive new perspective to the dance floor scene in this musical masterpiece. Including four experimental tracks with pulsating beats and rich tones, the EP is sophisticated, yet romantic at the same time.

Fit for dancefloors from the UK, Berlin, and beyond, the featured tracks include “CIEL,” “REVES,” RUMMELSBURG,” and “TES YEUX” all personalized and best described as a love letter for the rave.
“When I was living in Paris, the change of scenery drew me to start writing some solo music. It felt very liberating for me to write songs on my own. The EP is definitely ‘darker’ and more visceral than songs I’ve previously released. I’ve always wanted to release a project like this because I feel like it’s the only way for me to channel certain emotions – and I feel like this sound is a big part of what I wanted my project to sound like when I originally started it.
I don’t think it’s about anything in particular but it does reflect this state of introspection/dreaminess that I experienced when I first moved to Europe. That’s why I named it ‘REVES’ – it means ‘dreams’ in french.” — NASAYA
With every release, NASAYA simultaneously paves the way for a new and invigorating era for the genre landscape. Combining nimble breakbeats, chopped vocal samples, and complex polyrhythms, NASAYA’s work is more than music but a spectrum of art. Making a name for himself and his eccentric productions, NASAYA has the capacity to show current fans a refreshing sound sure to leave a mark on the rave industry.
