‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us.

'Can't Stop (Rogue FX Remix)' - INDIGO, 10EIGHTY6, Rogue FX

'Can't Stop (Rogue FX Remix)' - INDIGO, 10EIGHTY6, Rogue FX

Rogue FX's remix of 'Can't Stop' is a game-changer. The original by 10eighty6 and INDIGO is elevated to new heights. It's not just a stylistic reinterpretation; it's an aesthetic repositioning within the field of tension between retrofuturistic longing and contemporary sound aesthetics.
What initially presents itself as an homage to the Italo synth pop era of the 1980s — with its glittering bassline, rhythmically pulsating beats and atmospherically charged textures — unfolds, the longer you listen, into a multi-layered dialogue between past and present, in which Indigo's vocal presence functions not only as an emotional centre, but also as a stylistic bridge between the eras.
Her voice, which emerges with even greater clarity and expressiveness in this version, evokes associations with early Madonna without losing itself in mere reference – rather, it creates a sonic space in which memories of past pop icons merge with the freshness of today's production techniques.
