Some electronic tracks are built for the festival stage; others are whispered into existence in total isolation. Is Anyone Out There, the latest single from producer Jeffrey Lulanaj, is the latter—born alone in a dimly lit home studio, shaped by a late-night sense of disconnect, and released like a flare into the universe.
The track opens with a low, unshakable pulse—a bassline that feels less like an instrument and more like a heartbeat. Layer by layer, shimmering synths drift in, hovering above the rhythm like distant satellites. The contrast is deliberate: the physical pull of the club colliding with the emotional weight of longing. Lulanaj isn’t just making techno—he’s searching with it.
At its core, Is Anyone Out There is a question disguised as a groove. “It felt like I was sending a signal,” Lulanaj says. “Not just making a track, but trying to see if someone out there would feel what I felt.” That intent is wired into every bar—the tension, the melancholic lift, the subtle build that never fully explodes but instead keeps you suspended in motion. It’s music for the in-between hours, for the people still awake when the rest of the city goes quiet.
What makes the track resonate is its restraint. There’s no clutter, no cheap drop, no rush to the payoff. Instead, Lulanaj leans into atmosphere, crafting a soundscape that rewards close listening. Through headphones, the track feels almost confessional. On a dark club floor, it becomes something communal—a room of strangers locked into the same frequency.
Is Anyone Out There marks the first release in a new run of music from Lulanaj, who approaches electronic production with a minimalist but emotional lens. More releases are already on the horizon, each one a continuation of this transmission: raw, searching, and wired with human need. If this single is any indication, his message is being received loud and clear.
