To mark another special chapter in its journey, Melodic Therapy proudly presents a collaborative EP that celebrates influential and visionary encounters. ‘Elysium’ is the latest release from Brazilian artist Curol, who collaborates in the studio with three producers from diverse backgrounds and musical paths: Dimitri Nakov, Tolex, and RUSKAR.

Curol is currently one of the most respected Brazilian artists on the international circuit. Her impressive career includes performances at major festivals such as Rock in Rio, Zamna Tulum, DGTL Amsterdam, Lima, and Santiago, as well as Tomorrowland Brazil and Belgium. Her music transcends borders and connects cultures, consistently reaching top positions on the Beatport and Traxsource charts, and earning support from icons such as Black Coffee, Lee Burridge, and the Keinemusik collective.

The title track 'Elysium' is an epic Progressive House journey, created in collaboration with the legendary Dimitri Nakov, known for his 15 years touring alongside Sasha and his work with Bedrock, All Day I Dream, and artists like Björk and The Chemical Brothers; and rising Brazilian talent Tolex, who has received continued support from names such as Adriatique, Vintage Culture, Gordo, and Innellea. The track seamlessly blends driving percussion, a cinematic atmosphere, and a moment of pure catharsis, crafted to leave a lasting impact on dance floors worldwide.

Following this, the track 'Retail' adopts a more organic and ancestral approach, the result of a collaboration between Curol and Brazilian producer RUSKAR, a prominent figure in the Afro House scene with releases on labels such as Sol Selectas, IZIKI, and Midnight Riders. Inspired by indigenous rhythms and spirituality, the collaboration fuses mystical percussion, dense sonic landscapes, and a rhythmic sensibility that pulses with ancestry and transformation.

This release represents not only a meeting of artists from different generations and origins but also a statement from Melodic Therapy on the power of collaboration, inner listening, and music as a universal force of connection. Two sides of the same sonic soul, between the euphoria of the dancefloor and the introspection of ritual.
