Collaborating with the soulful vocal talent of Perrin Xthona, this emotional track thrusts listeners into the turbulence of being trapped in the uncertainty that often defines modern relationships. The production on “roundnround” encapsulates this dizzying feeling with sliding synths, chiptune accents, and deep, textured basslines, while Xthona’s silky falsetto glides seemingly frictionless over the beat.
Following his previous release “Lightspeed” on the label’s recent ‘Gateway Vol. 6’ compilation earlier this summer, “roundnround” marks Conrad’s first standalone single on the label.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Perrin’s music for a while,” says Conrad. “So, it was awesome getting to collaborate on ‘roundnround!’ This track has so many fun and colorful moments, and I’m excited to finally share it with the world.””
Perrin breaks down the meaning of the single, saying “‘roundnround’ is about the will-they, won’t-they feeling in the beginning of every relationship. Trying to let yourself fall (because it’s fun), without getting needlessly hurt.”
At just 23, Korean-American producer Conrad has developed a signature style that fuses the grace of classical piano with the high-energy beats of electronic music. His eclectic sound ranges from euphoric love songs like “me & u” to bass-driven powerhouses like “you again?” offering listeners a vibrant, modern coming-of-age narrative across his growing catalog.Fresh off of supporting Louis the Child’s Alter-Ego at the iconic Brooklyn Mirage, as well as opening for touring acts like Slow Magic and Chet Faker in his home city of Chicago, Conrad is set to showcase his genre-blending style to wider audiences.
Embodying the confusion and emotional turbulence that come with modern dating, “roundnround” seamlessly blends shifting melodies and moods. It gets caught in a never ending cycle between the fear of rejection and the urge to chase a growing infatuation; underlined by the frustration of wondering where things might lead. Conrad calls it “bass music for situationships,” using playful sound design and soaring synths to create a dynamic and anthemic love song.
Conrad’s new single “roundnround” ft. Perrin Xthona is available on all platforms via Lost In Dreams Records.
