Cubicore – Feel Alive

With “Feel Alive,” Cubicore delivers a high-quality trance anthem that solidifies his position as one of the genre’s most promising voices in 2025. This is his third release of the year, and it’s yet another compelling statement in what’s shaping up to be a landmark chapter in his career. Following his memorable back-to-back set with UUFO at ASOT Rotterdam and his inclusion in the ASOT 2025 compilation, “Feel Alive” shows that Cubicore isn’t just riding momentum—he’s building it.

The track begins with a subtle and atmospheric intro, leaning into a reflective tone that immediately draws the listener in. Gentle synth pads float over a minimal percussive pattern, gradually opening the emotional space. The rhythm builds patiently, with soft kicks and crisp hi-hats sketching out a meditative pulse. It’s a restrained start that pays off later—Cubicore is clearly in control of the journey.

As the track evolves, the bassline enters with a smooth but deliberate punch. Rich in texture and perfectly layered, it grounds the track while allowing the higher frequencies to shimmer. The bassline is tightly compressed but breathes just enough to give the groove life. It’s not overpowering, but it anchors the entire arrangement with understated confidence.

The synth work is where “Feel Alive” truly shines. Cubicore balances analog warmth with digital clarity, crafting leads that are both soaring and emotionally nuanced. The main melodic motif is introduced gradually, growing more prominent with each pass until it takes full flight in the track’s euphoric climax. The melodic phrasing avoids cliché while still embracing trance’s emotional core, achieving that rare combination of freshness and familiarity.

A standout moment arrives with the vocal line: “So many years later, this memory is what makes me feel alive.” Delivered with a haunting softness, the vocal acts as both a lyrical anchor and a dynamic shift in the arrangement. It’s a poignant break that adds narrative depth before the track launches into its full-bodied drop. The contrast between the introspective midsection and the explosive peak is what makes “Feel Alive” so compelling—not just as a dance track, but as a complete listening experience.

The drop itself is masterfully executed. The energy surges without becoming chaotic, driven by arpeggiated synths, wide stereo imaging, and a rhythm section designed for peak-time impact. It’s clear that Cubicore has honed his understanding of trance’s evolution, blending progressive elements with electro flair in a way that feels both modern and timeless.

In the end, “Feel Alive” is not just a track—it’s a journey. Cubicore has crafted a release that speaks to the emotional highs of the dancefloor and the personal resonance of memory. It’s club-ready, festival-tested, and headphone-approved. We’re thrilled to host this track on our webzine and can’t wait to see where Cubicore’s sonic path takes him next.
