We are excited to premiere the latest release from Aradya, a Chicago-based producer and DJ making his debut on BrokenHearted with a stunning two-track EP.
Following the success of Antologia III, BrokenHearted opens 2026 with its first release of the year, BRH016. Aradya blends studio sensitivity with an instinctive understanding of the dancefloor, delivering two tracks that reveal distinct emotional depth while remaining firmly rooted in a forward-thinking melodic techno framework.
The title track Perpetuo moves through a deeply melancholic landscape. Anchored by a steady four-to-the-floor pulse, the track is defined by a striking vocal presence reminiscent of 80s pop-rock influences. Nostalgic yet powerful, the track unfolds patiently, drawing the listener further inward with every cycle.
On Deep Regret, Aradya shifts the focus even further away from contemporary mainstream formulas. Impeccable rhythmic precision and sharp, cutting synths shape a darker and more uncompromising journey. The track strips emotion down to its raw core, creating a sense of controlled tension that leaves room for instinct, movement, and release.
A debut EP that marks a significant moment for both the artist and the label — BRH016 reaffirms BrokenHearted’s identity: music shaped by a clear underground vision, where emotion and movement coexist naturally.
