‘Aelle’ promises to open a new chapter, weaving rich melodies, immersive atmospheres and the rhythmic pulse of the dance floor.
Respected globally as one of France’s most enduring electronic music talents, OXIA returns with his compelling new single ‘Presence,’ out now on Diversions – the label he co-founded and curates alongside fellow compatriot Nicolas Masseyeff.
Marking his first solo release of 2025, ‘Presence’ arrives as the official lead single from OXIA’s hotly anticipated third studio album, ‘Aelle,’ slated for release later this year. With this track, OXIA offers listeners a deeply evocative preview of what’s to come, reaffirming his position at the cutting edge of modern electronic music while embracing a matured and nuanced sonic identity.
On ‘Presence,’ OXIA distills decades of production expertise into a beautifully restrained yet emotionally resonant composition. The track glides through a spectrum of introspective moods and immersive textures, fusing hypnotic, groove-laden rhythmic patterns with soaring synth motifs and a warm, enveloping low end.
As the first glimpse into the record, ‘Presence’ hints at a broader artistic narrative, one rooted in melody, movement, and emotional depth. While full details of the album remain closely guarded, this initial offering suggests a body of work that leans into storytelling through sound, merging rich musicality with OXIA’s signature club sensibility.
Over the years, OXIA has released productions and remixes for an array of influential imprints, including Knee Deep In Sound, Hot Creations, Bedrock, All Day I Dream, Sapiens and Warung, as well as his own label, Diversions Music. He’s lent his signature touch to remixes for luminaries like Moby, Joseph Capriati, John Digweed, Agoria, Popof, Black Circle and Teho, and his Cercle performance – streamed from a stunning location and viewed by over a million fans in just days – stands as testament to his enduring global appeal.
‘Presence’ is a moment of creative clarity for an artist who continues to evolve with each release. ‘Aelle’ promises to open a new chapter, weaving rich melodies, immersive atmospheres and the rhythmic pulse of the dance floor into a singular artistic vision.
