Alex Sonata & TheRio Deliver Powerful Trance Grooves on New EP

The Crescendo EP features three energetic tunes from Alex Sonata & TheRio that will help keep you dancing all day and night.


Anjunabeats has been home to many artists who have left Anjunafamily members impressed over the past two decades, and one of the freshest duos to find their place among the label’s ranks is Alex Sonata & TheRio. It was only five years ago that these two artists released their first sonic offerings on the beloved imprint, and since then, it’s been quite a wild ride filled with top-tier performances and epic soundscapes. Now, just months after whipping up a mix compilation for the 25 Years Of Anjuna series, they’ve returned with the Crescendo EP.

Those who immersed themselves in Alex Sonata and TheRio’s set at ABGT600 in Mexico City will find some familiarity when listening to Crescendo‘s tracks, as all three tunes debuted at the milestone event.

The ride begins with its title track, which powers forward with trance energy as its bumping beat and vocal layers guide you into an atmospheric bridge before pummeling you with unadulterated power once again. While the radio edit of “Crescendo” is fantastic, the “Intro Mix” that was added as a bonus is how we prefer to listen to this one, so make sure to give it a spin.

“Badnik” is filled with the larger-than-life, uplifting feeling that has become a signature of Alex Sonata & TheRio’s sound. The pulsating elements, powerful chord progression, and groove-laden drop combine to make this a peak-hour tune perfect for a festival mainstage. Then, it’s time to dive into the depths of the underground with “Tribal ID.” The final track on this journey starts in a more subdued manner, with its shuffling bassline, distant horns, and vocals front and center, all of which lead to an energetic drop that will keep your body moving.

Listen to the Crescendo EP on Spotify or your preferred platform, and stay tuned for more from Alex Sonata & TheRio by following their social media channels!
