The trio of L.A. artists unite for a multidimensional electropop ballad.
Los Angeles-based yetep expands his collaborative catalog by joining forces with fellow L.A. artists Lockbox and singer/songwriter artemis orion. The trio delivers their moving electropop anthem “Deep End” on Lost In Dreams.
“Deep End” is a multifaceted narrative of growth, vulnerability, transformation, and, most importantly, love. The track traces the changing seasons of the heart moving from the dark chills of winter to the bright promise of spring’s bloom. Icy piano keys lead the cinematic introduction, as artemis orion’s vocals mix introspection and sorrow. Following the emergence of the powerful lyrics of the hook, “If I'm in the deep end // would you follow?” the production brightens blissfully, giving way to the shifting axis propelled by winds of hope. Meanwhile, the lyrics trace a path of raw vulnerability and unlocks the track’s jovial apex. Lush atmospheres and uplifting melodies intertwine into an explosion of euphoric optimism that symbolizes the openness and joy of reciprocated love once more. Weaving pain, resilience, and hints of bliss, the talented trio delivers a beautifully layered electropop ballad that commands repeat plays.
Yetep, Lockbox, and artemis orion share their consensus about the collab’s significance: “‘Deep End’ is a melodically rich pop anthem that navigates through the tender journey of healing from past wounds and the bravery of opening one’s heart once more—an exploration into the soul’s capacity for resilience and love. We’re all excited to be releasing this track on Lost In Dreams, and we can’t wait for you all to hear this.”
Championing connective and emotive music, LA-based producer yetep continues to impress the music industry via innovation and individuality. The Asian American artist’s dance and melodic bass project is deeply rooted in fostering community growth, mental health awareness, and tackling issues with homeless youth.

He has upcoming shows at Ritz Ybor, Rainbow Ballroom, Bloom Nightclub, and is gearing up for his soon-to-be-announced tour.
Los Angeles-based producer Lockbox is a rising talent in the melodic bass and drum & bass world known for his timeless melodies that push the boundaries of what music can achieve, and more importantly, where music can take you. He has recently held a busy schedule of consistent releases and sold-out shows alongside yetep (Observatory OC), MitiS (Academy LA, Time Nightclub OC), Nurko (Nova SD), and Dabin (Nova SD).
Hailing from Los Angeles, artemis orion is a singer-songwriter and producer whose otherworldly aura has seen her traversing themes of dreams, nostalgia, and the mysteries of the universe. Her catalog includes collaborations with San Holo and OddKidOut (landing the cover of Spotify’s coveted Creamy playlist), Sasha Rome, Slow Magic, and AMNES; writing credits for Seven Lions and Don Diablo. A growing performer, she most recently supported Surf Mesa and Lost Frequencies in a sold-out show at the Avant Gardner.
Taking listeners to the “Deep End,” the exceptionally talented trio traces the seasons of the heart, delivering a powerful ballad that balances grief and uncertainty with the limitless highs of love.
