Memory Lane
Nico Laurent

Verified Verified Artist

Nico Laurent
Hailing from the sprawling city of Chicago, known for its gusty winds and hearty deep-dish pizzas, the one and only Nico Laurent has been making waves in the musical landscape with his undeniable talent and contagious energy. Born to an imaginative mother who weaved narratives that enchanted Nico's world and a meticulous father whose precision for constructing circuit boards was only matched by his love for the blues. You could say Nico was born to rhythm, melody, and a healthy dose of storytelling. He began his magical sonic journey right there, in the sweet-spot between abstraction and engineering, affectionately known as creativity.

That journey led Nico to pen one of his most notable songs, "I'm Not The One," a tune that dances delightfully between heartbreak and hope, two relatable sides for many of his listeners. His songs mirror his life - filled with textures and nuances - which are as electrifyingly real as the Chicago skyline during a lightning storm. Perhaps it's his mother's storytelling gift that makes his lyrics so compelling, or his father's keen sense for balance that keeps his melodies ringing in your ear long after the song ends. Or maybe, just maybe, it's that cheeky grin of his that makes you think he might know a secret or two about life's grand design. Whatever the case, it's hard to resist the magnetic pull of Nico Laurent and his ever-evolving sound.

Equal parts witty word-spinner and evocative tunesmith, Nico proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the metaphoric tree (and by the sound of it, this apple picked up a guitar on its way down). Nico remembers sitting between piles of books and heaps of cables as a kid, writing stories about robot musicians or sketching out designs for flying guitars, and that imaginative spirit still fuels his music today. So, buckle in and hold onto your hat (the wind in Chicago doesn’t mess around, you know), because Nico Laurent is just getting started, and this is one ride you won't want to miss.

Memory Lane

Nico Laurent


This town is no stranger to me
No new pastures
Just better pasture memories
Human nature calling my name
Lights goin' out faster than 747's

Summers are colder now
Air feels dangerous
Small town stranger for now

Russian doll suitcase says one thing
That a lifetime of memories could never bring

They say she don't have much
You need weight to float things
Car's filling up

One thing she entertains
Swimmin' in Godlight
Floating down memory lane

Maps and posters
Letters from interstate
She gathers and disseminates
Board her plane
She watches her past
Nothing's meant to last

Russian doll suitcase says one thing
That a lifetime of memories could never bring

Calor De Junio (ft ...
Rio Vane

Verified Verified Artist

Rio Vane
With a name like Rio Vane, you could only expect a backstory as steamy and vibrant as the city itself. He is a self-made, independent dance artist that ignites the music stage with an energy so potent it could power Miami's nightlife for a calendar year.

Vane emerged from modest beginnings, the son of a pizza maker family in the sultry heart of Miami—delivering not only the finest pies but also a flair for Latin dance music since his youth. You could say the rhythm coursed through his veins, or that he sweated salsa beats instead of conventional teenage angst. Either way, his childhood was a simmering paella of musical influences that later shaped his unique sound.

"Calor De Junio (ft Zuri)", one of his most notable tracks, pulsates with rowdy beats and sultry rhythms that would make even the most reluctant wallflower throw some shapes. It's akin to being caught in a storm—clouds thick with his rich vocals, lightning strikes of dance beats, and downpours of sultry Latin rhythms—it's cathartic, climatic, and a hell of a dance workout.

When Vane isn't lighting up the dance scene, you'll find him scribbling beats on pizza boxes or sharing his demos with Hakan E. from Filodyo. It's through these humble endeavours that he landed the opportunity to share his musical creations with Not FM and the world. The magic of Rio Vane lies not just with his infectious sounds but that he is as spicy, whimsical, and intense as the Miami city he hails from. To listen to his music is to lose yourself in the rhythm, embrace the heat, and move with the beat. As they say in Miami, 'dale!'

Where Did We Go

Luma Hollow


I hear your name
Under the noise
A distant flame
A broken voice

We were young in a room full of strangers
Dancing close to a feeling we knew
Every light had a warning inside it
Every road was leading back to you

I kept the photos but lost the meaning
Kept the song but forgot the sound
Now I wake with a heart full of questions
And a silence I can’t turn down

Tell me are you somewhere
Under the same sky?
Do you ever look back
When the night drives by?

I have been running
But I don’t know what from
I have been searching
For the place we were one

Where did we go?
When the love became a shadow
I still feel you in the afterglow
But I can’t follow

Where did we go?
We were louder than tomorrow
Now I’m calling through the empty road
Just to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
I’m still trying to find you

Find you
Find you
I’m still trying to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?

There are nights when the city feels weightless
Like the streets are floating away
I see your face in the glass of a window
Then it fades before I can say

I was wrong I was scared I was human
I was holding a storm in my hands
You were love you were home you were shelter
I was too late to understand

Tell me are you somewhere
Under the same sky?
Do you ever hear me
When the waves rise high?

I have been running
But I don’t know what from
I have been searching
For the place we were one

Where did we go?
When the love became a shadow
I still feel you in the afterglow
But I can’t follow

Where did we go?
We were louder than tomorrow
Now I’m calling through the empty road
Just to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
I’m still trying to find you

Maybe we were not lost
Maybe we were changing
Maybe every goodbye
Has another name

If you hear me tonight
Through the static and rain
Leave a light in the dark
I would find you again

Where did we go?
When the love became a shadow
I still feel you in the afterglow
But I can’t follow

Where did we go?
We were louder than tomorrow
Now I’m calling through the empty road
Just to find you

Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
I’m still trying to find you

I hear your name
Under the noise
A distant flame
A broken voice

Mara Vale

Verified Verified Artist

Mara Vale
Mara Vale makes sleek night-drive pop with a disco pulse: live bass lines, clean rhythm guitar, warm strings, and hooks that feel lit by streetlights. Her songs balance playful movement with a bittersweet city glow, built for listeners who want groove, melody, and a little electricity under the skin.

Her sound sits between classic dance-floor craft and modern pop polish, with soulful female vocals carrying stories of late buses, rooftop coffee, open city windows, and small moments that suddenly feel cinematic. Mara Vale keeps the arrangements bright and human: tight drums, handclaps, piano stabs, and choruses designed to move without turning into a cliché.

Window Light After Eight

Mara Vale


The shutters lean half-open
On a street rinsed clean by rain
A receipt curls in my pocket
Like it wants to speak your name

Glass shelves hold the evening
Silver bracelets folded blue
Someone laughs by the mirrors
Then the echo thins to two

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

Elevator doors are breathing
In the mall across the square
Mannequins wear patient faces
Under amber fitting-room glare

There is music in the hangers
When they slide along the rail
Tiny moons in every button
Tiny ships in every sale

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

We don't have to call it waiting
We can call it closing slow
Let the streetlights choose the colors
Let the last few customers go

Window light after eight
A quiet gold along the door
Nothing loud nothing late
Just a rhythm asking for more
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

Bad Dreams

Miles Thorne


I wake to the hum of a restless moon
Curtains swaying like ghosts in the room
The walls are painted with shadows that creep
Whispering truths that I’d rather not keep

The clock’s stuck ticking in a crooked rhyme
And the air feels heavy thick with time
I try to shake the echoes but they pull me in
A carousel of faces where the dark begins

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (oh no oh no)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (yeah yeah)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (can’t escape it now)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

Steps in the hallway but the floorboards don’t creak
A distant murmur but no one speaks
The mirror’s reflection isn’t quite my own
A fractured version I’ve never known

I turn the light on but it cuts too thin
The shadows grow deeper they’re pulling me in
I try to find the exit but the walls just bend
A labyrinth of longing with no end

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (can’t get out can’t get out)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (oh I’m losing it now)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (no way out no way out)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

Lost in the haze where the night unfolds
Every corner hides a story untold
Fingers reach but they slip like smoke
And the weight of the dark wraps around my throat

If I could wake up would the room stay still?
Would the morning sun break this bitter chill?
But the curtains fall in the same slow dance
Caught in a fever I can’t outlast

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (oh don’t let me go)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (somebody help me now)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (no way out no way out)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

You left without a sound
But your shadow stayed
On the walls in the air
Every word we never said

I follow the hollow traces
Through empty rooms and faded places
Can’t touch you now
But I feel you somehow

I sleep on just one side
Still making room for you
Your shirt in the drawer
Still smells like truth

I follow the hollow traces
Through empty rooms and faded places
Can’t touch you now
But I feel you somehow

You were here
You’re still here

Daxe

Verified Verified Artist

Daxe
DAXE is a French producer and DJ whose sound channels the raw spirit of the mid-90s underground Parisian club scene. Known for his gritty, lo-fi French house productions, he builds hypnotic tracks around distorted synth-bass loops, saturated textures, and minimal yet powerful drum machine grooves.

Emerging from late-night warehouse parties in Paris, DAXE earned a reputation for his uncompromising sets that fuse analog warmth with a rebellious edge. His music feels both dirty and infectious — a soundtrack built for smoke-filled rooms, flashing strobe lights, and crowds that never stop moving.

As a producer, DAXE stays loyal to hardware samplers, vinyl, and classic drum machines, crafting tracks that echo the golden era of French house while pushing it forward with his own raw signature. As a DJ, he thrives on the connection between loop-driven grooves and the dancefloor, keeping energy high and tension tight.

His latest track, “System Online”, embodies this ethos: hypnotic, streetwise, and uncompromising — a pure dancefloor anthem. Released exclusively on Filodyo and NOT FM, it cements DAXE as a name carrying the underground French house tradition into a new era.

Keep It Slow
Nessa Valea

Verified Verified Artist

Nessa Valea
Nessa Valea emerges from a rich tapestry of musical heritage, where her family’s tradition of playing together was a natural rhythm rather than an ambition. Growing up surrounded by melodies in a cozy Amsterdam home, she cultivated a love for music that felt more like breathing than performing. After years of sharing the spotlight, Nessa took a poignant step back, choosing solitude to rediscover her voice and craft her narrative. This leap marked the transition that allowed her lyrical essence to crystallize, making her stories both intimate and relatable.

With her return marked by the single “Keep It Slow,” Nessa’s catalog promises a blend of dance-infused pop that captures the heart's longing for connection. Her songs resonate with dreamy and inspirational undertones, exploring themes of movement and presence in relationships. Each track encapsulates a moment of emotional clarity, inviting listeners into a space where they can reflect on their lives as they dance through them. As Nessa continues to evolve her artistry, her music remains a beacon for those seeking to embrace the rhythm of life while finding joy in its simplicity.

Keep It Slow

Nessa Valea


Night moves easy…
I move with it…

I follow the rhythm you leave in the air
Step after step I meet you somewhere
Nothing too heavy nothing to prove
Just the simple feeling of letting things move

Close enough to sense your tone
Far enough to stay unknown

Stay in the motion keep it slow
Let every heartbeat set the flow
I don’t need reason I don’t need time
Just you and the rhythm in one line
Stay in the motion keep it slow
Don’t pull away just let it go

You don’t say much and neither do I
Words fall quiet when the pulses align
Heat in the moment calm in the sound
Two bodies drifting never breaking ground

Close enough to sense your tone
Far enough to stay unknown

Stay in the motion keep it slow
Let every heartbeat set the flow
I don’t need reason I don’t need time
Just you and the rhythm in one line
Stay in the motion keep it slow
Don’t pull away just let it go

Soft steps…
Deep breath…
One touch…
No stress…

Stay in the motion keep it slow
Let every heartbeat set the flow
If you’re beside me let it show
Stay in the motion—
We both know

Night moves easy…
We move with it…

Secondhand Alibi
Romeo Vane

Verified Verified Artist

Romeo Vane
"Romeo Vane: at the ripe age of 25, this American pop-rock comet is shooting across the Alternative universe, spreading hope with doses of edgy authenticity. Born and bred in the sonic heartland of the Windy City, he’s a Chicagoan with an unapologetic knack for compelling narratives and an obsession for truth.

Whether it's life's sharp corners or the soft bruises of love, Romeo Vane's got a knack for rolling them into tunes that blend breezy alt-rock melodies with the raw, gritty flavor of pop. His stage name isn't for show; Romeo comes with a romantic bravado that'd make Shakespeare blush, and the barbed tongue of a true Windy City native. Just tune into "Kiss Me When I'm Lying" - it's less of a song, more a rollercoaster ride through hope, heartbreak, and hilariously serious self-deprecation.

Despite his youth, he's seen more than enough of life's ups and downs, packaging the human experience into easily digestible nuggets of melodic wisdom. Romeo Vane’s music is the kind that makes you call your ex at 2 a.m., cry a little, laugh a lot, and still believe in the dream of a better dawn. Now, how's that for a self-made, alternative songwriter from the city that never sleeps?"

Secondhand Alibi

Romeo Vane


I found it in a Sunday ad
Between a sofa and a wedding band
“Barely used no questions asked”
The seller wore a borrowed name

He said it worked on jealous hearts
On hotel clerks and parking guards
I paid in cash he wished me luck
Then vanished before the light changed

I practiced every detail
The hour the street the rain
But truth has lousy manners
It keeps interrupting names

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine

I said the train was running late
You knew that line from ’98
I blamed a man I’d never met
You said “At least invent him well”

I moved the evening half an hour
Changed the bar replaced the car
By then the lie had better shoes
And more ambition than the truth

I gave it dates and weather
A witness and a scar
You watched me build the ceiling
Then asked where the foundations are

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine

Mine on Monday
Mine by five
Mine when I need
Someone else to survive

The seller called at 2:13
Said “That excuse belongs to me”
I told him he could have it back
He laughed and said “You made it yours”

You poured your drink into the sink
Not angry almost entertained
You said “The worst part isn’t this
It’s how rehearsed you look in pain”

So here’s the part I didn’t buy
No clever date no useful guy
I stayed because I liked the risk
I left because you noticed it

No missing train no broken phone
No nameless friend to take the blame
I wanted two incompatible things
And called confusion by your name

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me why
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
But guilt was never in the price
Keep the story keep the night
Every version sounds like mine

The truth was sitting in the car
Patient as an unpaid fare
I opened up the passenger door
It said “You took your time”
