Rayrick’s ‘Orbit’ Sends Tenderness Through Cosmically Spaced Electronica and Neon New Wave Desire –

On June 5th, Rayrick launched his most intimately interstellar release yet with Orbit. With his unique talent in bringing tenderness into expansive sound design, the Taiwan-born, NYC-based electronica artist has been making all the right waves since his debut; he approaches retro-futurist soundscapes with reverence for past and present, keeping the soul of 80s synth pop alive while exhibiting how attuned he is to the fervour that falls over contemporary dancefloors.

Passion finds its propulsion through the strobing synths, snares, cosmically spacious motifs and vocals, delivered by a guest vocalist whose emotive depth rivals the Grand Canyon, pulling you into a black hole of sticky-sweet progressive pop romanticism glossed with the neon strobe lights of new wave synth pop. Orbit carries melodic dubstep, bass, and progressive house through a clean-lined, emotionally heightened production style that’s built for headphones and rooms where bodies move under ultraviolet light.

As a producer, DJ, and audio engineer, Rayrick brought his technical chops to the single without sterilising its sentiment. His attention to structure, pacing, and atmosphere gives Orbit its sense of lift, letting the track feel expansive, intimate, and ready for late-night surrender.

Orbit is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
