The independent music scene has never been more exciting, and for artists like OKAYVAL, it’s a moment of true potential. In the past, artists without a label often struggled for exposure, but with the rise of social media, music can be heard from anywhere and everywhere, going viral in an instance. OKAYVAL is a perfect example, releasing her new single, ‘Disco’, and capturing attention along the way.
With ‘Disco’, OKAYVAL delivers exactly what her fans have been asking for. She’s also setting an example for other independent artists by showing you don’t need a major label to make waves. Through viral social media trends, she’s been promoting her music with remarkable results. Leading up to the release of ‘Disco’ she teased the track across Instagram and TikTok, gaining over 100k views multiple times, and even close to a million views on one particular TikTok video.
As a track, ‘Disco’ fuses tech house and EDM into a high-energy anthem. It has a deep, driving bassline that pulses with rhythm and an underground edge, while maintaining an infectious, fist-pumping vibe. The minimalist approach to synths and sounds keeps the track fresh and memorable. Receiving support from dance music legend Armin van Buuren is a testament to the high quality of this track, further reinforced by endorsements from prominent artists such as Sam Feldt and Nostalgix.
‘Disco’ marks OKAYVAL‘s most ambitious effort to date, signaling an evolution in her style toward a darker, tech house influence. This shift takes inspiration from genre heavyweights like Fisher, Mau P, and early John Summit, positioning OKAYVAL as an artist to watch in the growing tech house scene.
