Luna

CrucifyMe

Ukrainian producer CrucifyMe returns to Soulvent Records with Luna, a soulful, break-driven roller filled with emotive harmony and subtle dancefloor depth.

Soulvent Records Released 23 January 2026

CrucifyMe returns to Soulvent Records with Luna, a follow-up that feels calm yet quietly confident. It’s that kind of track that sounds effortless but clearly isn’t. There’s craft in every drum hit, a real patience to how it unfolds. After the spark of Radiance last year, this one feels like the next natural step.

It opens with a soft haze of breaks and pads, the kind that instantly sets a mood. Then comes the sax, wistful and a little lonely, sliding through the mix with real feeling. The vocal flickers in the distance, half memory, half ghost, and before you notice, the whole tune has wrapped itself around you. When the drop arrives, it doesn’t shout. It just rolls. Tight drums, a warm bassline, everything breathing in rhythm. It’s one of those tunes that doesn’t need to prove anything. It just feels right.

What’s lovely here is how restrained it is. CrucifyMe could have turned it into a big dancefloor moment, but he holds back, lets the melody speak. That restraint makes it powerful. It’s the kind of tune you’d play on a winter evening when you need something to keep you moving but not overwhelm the room.

Luna reminds you what Soulvent does best. Music with heart and polish, something you can play anywhere and still feel connected to. For CrucifyMe, it’s another confident move forward, a reminder that groove and emotion don’t have to sit on opposite ends of the spectrum. Simple, deep, and just the right kind of hopeful for the start of a new year.
