Rising electronic duo AVALAN ROKSTON return with a stunning new release on Tomorrowland Music, showcasing their distinctive blend of melodic techno, cinematic soundscapes, and emotional depth. “Who’s gonna save you” is now out via Tomorrowland Music.
Formed by Valentijn Hoogwerf (AVALAN) from Amsterdam and Emil Vogel (ROKSTON) from Berlin, the duo have quickly built a reputation for crafting music that blurs the line between club euphoria and heartfelt emotion. Since their first collaboration in 2022, they’ve become one of the most talked-about new names in the melodic techno scene, uniting two creative worlds into one unique sonic identity.
AVALAN, a Grammy-nominated vocalist and producer, brings haunting melodies and raw emotion, while ROKSTON injects an underground edge and meticulous sound design; a contrast that defines their unmistakable sound. The new single, released via Tomorrowland Music, showcases their signature blend of melodic techno, cinematic soundscapes, and emotionally charged vocals.
“This track is a reflection of everything we’ve experienced over the past year. We wanted to create something that feels intimate yet powerful, something that moves both the heart and the dancefloor. Tomorrowland Music felt like the perfect home for this release.”
Known for their emotionally charged performances that merge DJ energy with live vocals, the duo have already played standout shows at Tomorrowland (Freedom Stage), Ushuaïa Ibiza, and SAGA Festival, among others, earning support from David Guetta, MEDUZA, Korolova, KREAM, and Argy along the way.
