Rafael Cerato, ALADAG – That Sound EP [belonging]

Following his earlier appearance on belonging alongside Innellea on ‘Unleashed’ from the labels debut compilation ‘Finding Home’, Rafael Cerato returns to the imprint, this time joining forces with Aladag for the three-track ‘That Sound’ EP.

The title track ‘That Sound’ leans into a more melodic and uplifting territory. Blending Indie Dance with subtle trance influences, shimmering synth lines and rising tension create a sense of lift while maintaining a hypnotic groove. On ‘Lose Yourself’, the duo shifts toward a more direct, club-focused approach, sitting between Indie Dance and Tech House. Built around a confident groove and driving bassline, the track carries a clear big-room energy designed for larger dancefloors.

Closing the EP, ‘Stay Forever’ moves into a more emotive space, touching the intersection of Indie Dance and Melodic Techno. Warm pads and evolving melodies unfold over a steady rhythm, giving the track a reflective but still club-driven character. With the ‘That Sound’ EP, Cerato and Aladag deliver three distinct shades of contemporary Indie Dance, each exploring a different edge of the genre while remaining connected by atmosphere, groove and late-night focus.
