Darlyn Vlys marks a milestone for his label with the ‘Stoppage Time EP’, Polaris’s 40th release, delivering a duo of tracks that showcase her mastery of tension and immersive electronic energy.

The lead track, ‘Stoppage Time’, blends rising synths and perfectly crafted drops with tight, percussive techno-driven stabs and rhythmic chord hits, adding precise, syncopated accents that give the track a subtle groove while maintaining its dark, driving momentum. Hypnotic vocal textures deepen the atmosphere, creating a cinematic crescendo that merges with club-ready energy.

‘Seven Stars’ hits even harder with a rumbling, powerful bass that anchors the track, while entrancing vocals drift through a vast, cosmic expanse infused with futuristic atmospheres. The track highlights Darlyn Vlys’s evolving command of layered rhythms and dynamic textures, balancing introspective depth with a sharp, driving intensity.

With this special 40th release, Darlyn Vlys blows out Polaris’s candle, celebrating the label’s journey while delivering a forward-thinking, dark, and powerful electronic statement.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Seven Stars’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
