SABAI RELEASED HIS NEW TRACK ‘SAME HIGH’ FEATURING TRELLA ON IKIGAI MUSIC

Vancouver-based producer SABAI unveils his latest single “Same High (feat. Trella)”, out August 15, 2025 via his imprint Ikigai Music. Blending emotional depth with cinematic electronic production, the track explores the relentless cycle of chasing validation and the quiet unraveling that happens when the high fades.

Written during a period of burnout and emotional exhaustion, “Same High” captures the internal spiral of never feeling satisfied. With lines like “Feel the rush then it turns to dust / Falling out of my reach,” the lyrics depict the rush of achievement dissolving just as quickly as it arrives. It’s a portrait of someone stuck in a loop; pushing harder, running faster, only to end up right back where they started.

“I thought I outgrew needing validation from others… but here I am again, chasing the same high,” SABAI shares. “It just shows up differently now. Whether it’s hitting new milestones or proving something to myself, it never seems to be enough. That’s what this song is about.”

The track features Nashville-based vocalist and songwriter Trella, whose vulnerable performance brings heartbreaking weight to the story. Known for her work with artists like Dabin, William Black, and Kai Wachi, Trella voices the emotional toll of perfectionism and pressure with unflinching honesty: “What’s the point of this / Sitting alone in a hotel room in Vegas / And I hate it.”

“Same High” is the latest in SABAI’s growing catalog of emotionally resonant electronic music, following his recent release “Fuck It, I’m Alright” with Miles Away and Olivia Ridgely. His music fuses melodic bass, cinematic builds, and unfiltered lyricism to explore themes of identity, burnout, and healing.

Fresh off major performances at Lost In Dreams (LA), Beyond Wonderland (Chicago), and FVDED In The Park (Vancouver), SABAI now enters the next phase of his “Fuck It, I’m Alright” Tour. Upcoming dates include cities across North America, with a milestone debut at Terminal 5 in New York City this fall.

SABAI is a Thailand-born, Vancouver-based producer known for his emotionally driven fusion of future bass, house, and R&B. Since emerging on Monstercat, SABAI has amassed over 145 million Spotify streams and earned widespread acclaim for his emotionally charged blend of future bass, house, and R&B. His breakout tracks like “Million Days” and “Daydream” have struck a chord with fans around the world, leading to sold-out headline shows at iconic venues including Academy LA, Webster Hall in New York, and The Midway in San Francisco, as well as performances at major festivals such as EDC Las Vegas, VAC Festival China, and FVDED in the Park. In 2024, he launched his debut album North Star on his independent label Ikigai Music, cementing his reputation as one of the most compelling voices in melodic electronic music. His live performances, often featuring live guitar and cinematic visuals, have graced stages from EDC Las Vegas to the Hollywood Palladium.

The Fragments series returns with its thirty-first edition, bringing together a dynamic mix of emerging voices and label mainstays in ‘Fragments XXXI’ - a three-track showcase that highlights the melodic, emotive, and forward-thinking sound Purified Records is known for.

 

Opening the compilation, Belgian producer Delta Vaults makes a striking label debut with ‘Colors Of Life’.

Next, Milan Steenwinkel brings a deep, introspective edge with ‘Hold Me’. Rooted in layered textures and rhythmic tension, the track unfolds around longing vocals and a brooding, progressive framework. Drawing influence from the underground melodic techno scene and classical music alike, the Amsterdam-based artist creates a powerful sense of emotional immersion through sound - making for a compelling addition to the compilation.

 

Closing the release, JNSN returns to the label with ‘Time’ - a richly uplifting track built on emotive chords, pulsing basslines, and energetic percussion. A solid club weapon that’s been championed by Nora En Pure in her sets around the world, ‘Time’ blends melody and momentum with a deeply expressive groove. Infused with his signature sense of narrative, JNSN delivers a track that’s both cathartic and dancefloor-ready, reinforcing his reputation as a boundary-pushing producer with a personal and resonant sound.

 

With each artist offering a distinct sonic signature, Fragments XXXI is a seamless fusion of emotion, melody, and technical craft - marking another bold chapter in Purified Records’ evolving compilation series.

NORA EN PURE SHARES DREAMY NEW SINGLE ‘SPACE’

Out Now Via Enormous Tunes

A leading voice in the world of melodic and organic house, Nora En Pure continues to evolve her sound while staying true to the emotional and textural depth that defines her work. With a catalogue that seamlessly blends instrumental elegance and vocal-led resonance, her latest single, ‘Space’ - out now on Enormous Tunes - lands as a powerful statement that balances beauty and weight, delicacy and drive.

 

At the core of ‘Space’ is a sense of duality. Light and dark. Air and earth. The track opens with intricate, arpeggiated synth work - sparkling and fluid - creating a dreamy, celestial mood. Ethereal vocals from MAGNUS float across the top, lending a sense of serenity and openness. But beneath the surface, a resonating, gritty bassline pulses with power, anchored by a mammoth kick that gives the track undeniable club energy. The contrast between the airy top layers and the heavier low end creates a striking tension - one that keeps the listener suspended between intimacy and intensity.

 

This is where Nora En Pure excels: crafting immersive soundscapes that offer more than just rhythm - they evoke. ‘Space’ moves with purpose, shifting through moments of quiet euphoria and driving momentum, all while maintaining a polished and cohesive identity. It’s a track that feels equally at home in expansive festival sets and solitary late-night listening.

 

Following recent releases like ‘Senses Of Comfort’, ‘Protected’ and ‘Tranquility’, ‘Space’ reinforces Nora En Pure’s unmistakable sonic identity – one built on emotion, atmosphere, and precision. Each new release adds depth to a catalogue that continues to evolve without losing its core – a signature blend that resonates with long-time fans and new listeners alike.

 

Nora En Pure rounds out her summer tour with a run of headline shows across Europe, North America and Canada, following standout performances at festivals like Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza. With her Purified events continuing to build a global community around emotive and melodic dance music, ‘Space’ lands as a timely release - capturing the energy, contrast, and depth she brings to every stage.
