01: Avis Vox - Breaking Out (Original Mix)
02: Avis Vox - Breaking Out (Extended Mix)
2024 proved to be a big 365 for Avis Vox. It saw the release of ‘Skin’, her debut longplayer, which surpassed its first million Spotify streams within months of release. Off the back of it came hits like ‘Block Rocking Beats’, (which found turntable favour with Solomun at his recent Sphere LV show) and ‘Illusion’, which racked up 700,000 TikTok views. In and around, the supremely talented artist has kept airwaves and turntables alight, through the likes of her A*S*Y*S* collaboration ‘Body, Mind & Soul’ (which spent six weeks in the Beatport peaktime techno chart), ‘Silent’ alongside Miss Monique and ‘Bird Life’, which featured on PARAFRAME’s ‘Metropolis’ album earlier in the year.
In name and nature ‘Breaking Out’s exactly what she’s doing with her latest though, as Avis once again assumes full lyrical, vocal and studio control to deliver a firestarting new release.
From the off, ‘Breaking Out’ pulses with hypnotically subby bass and rhythmic percussives, while its techy FX and scything sub-riffs add to its darker energy. Through her song, Avis’s explores themes of self-expression, personal identity and permanence. “This is who I want to be … for life”, she affirms, as ‘Breaking Out’s curling 303 creeps out of its double-deep drop to deliver a wild ride conclusion.
Floor-bound, start-through-finish, Avis Vox expands the room today with ‘Breaking Out’. Find it wherever the quality electronic music is streamed or sold. HERE

[item value="10"]Avis Vox - Breaking Out [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Avis Vox’s latest release on Black Hole Recordings, "Breaking Out," is an exceptional melodic techno anthem clocking in at 130 BPM, exemplifying peak-time energy with a meticulous production process. The track is anchored by deep, resonant basslines that are finely tuned to create a pulsating drive, complemented by thumping kicks that maintain a consistent, heart-thumping rhythm. The punchy percussion layers are crafted with precision, offering crisp, syncopated hits that enhance the track’s dynamic flow. Diving into the technical details, "Breaking Out" showcases a masterful use of synthesis and sound design, likely utilizing analog synths and digital plugins to achieve its rich, textured soundscape. The basslines exhibit a warm, analog feel, possibly shaped through subtractive synthesis techniques, while the leads and atmospheric pads suggest the use of reverb and delay effects to create expansive sonic spaces. Influences from Moonbeam and Paraframe are evident in the track’s intelligent arrangement and emotive undertones, blending seamlessly with the nostalgic essence of the late 90s German trance scene, reminiscent of Jam & Spoon’s monumental sound. The track structure is meticulously crafted, with builds and drops that are both predictable yet thrilling, maintaining listener engagement through subtle variations and evolving motifs. Avis Vox’s vocal performance adds a distinctive character to "Breaking Out." The vocals are processed with effects such as slight pitch modulation, reverb, and delay, enhancing their ethereal quality without overshadowing the instrumental elements. The breakdown section is particularly memorable, featuring a haunting melody that lingers long after the track concludes—a testament to its compelling harmonic progression and catchy phrasing.Overall, "Breaking Out" is not just a track but an immersive auditory experience, showcasing Avis Vox’s talent in blending technical proficiency with emotional resonance. It’s a single poised to resonate on dance floors and in personal playlists alike, marking a significant step in her artistic journey. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
