Premiere: GROJ leans into the late-night haze of ‘Break Again’ on boxx

GROJ returns with ‘Break Again’, a hazy melodic house cut landing on his own boxx imprint. The French-Australian producer, singer-songwriter, and live act based between Los Angeles and Montreal has spent the past few years quietly carving out one of the most emotionally engaging corners of the melodic house and indie electronic spectrum, and this latest offering continues that thread with poise and depth.

‘Break Again’ drifts between deep melodic house propulsion and hazy electronica, balancing restrained emotion with late-night movement. Built around intimate vocals, shimmering synth textures, and a slow-burning groove, the track leans into tension rather than release, sitting somewhere between club introspection and headphone escapism. It is the kind of record that rewards repeat listening, revealing new layers as the production weaves between dancefloor utility and quiet contemplation.

GROJ has built an impressive trajectory across the melodic spectrum, with releases signed to respected imprints such as Afterlife, Eleatics, Fryhide, Traum, Renaissance, and Marginalia, alongside performances at HI Ibiza, OFF Sonar, ADE, MUTEK, Piknic Électronik, and Stereo Afterhours. Drawing influence from the worlds of Mild Minds and Ben Böhmer, his music favors mood, texture, and gradual emotional release over immediacy, and ‘Break Again’ captures that signature sensibility beautifully.

boxx is GROJ’s own imprint, a label he describes as a home for himself and his friends to distribute music independently and to launch promising new talent, with a soft spot for underground IDM, Krautrock-influenced dance music, and melodic techno. The platform has steadily been shaping a distinctive sonic identity, and ‘Break Again’ slots in perfectly with its evolving vision.

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