Fleanger – Soul Logic

Berlin-based electronic producer Fleanger returns with Soul Logic, a compelling EP that masterfully blends the emotional depth of soulful vocals with the precision and immersive quality of melodic electronic production. Collaborating with the rising talent NIRØ and the hauntingly expressive Romy Dya, Fleanger crafts a deeply resonant experience that transcends genre boundaries, embracing the heart of Commercial Vocal Dance and EDM while delivering something far more intimate and cinematic.

At the core of Soul Logic is its title track—a piece that encapsulates the EP’s emotional thesis: the conflict between heart and reason, the surrender to feeling in the face of logic. This theme is not only lyrically driven but embedded in every layer of the production. Fleanger and NIRØ sculpt a soundscape that feels organic and lived-in, building a rhythmic structure that is subtle yet driving. The percussion is never overbearing but carries an undercurrent of momentum—a heartbeat that pushes the track forward without urgency, allowing space for emotion to breathe.

The rhythmic elements are warm and fluid, blending crisp hi-hats and carefully placed claps with a bassline that’s deep and enveloping. There’s a restrained energy to the groove, influenced by the hypnotic stylings of Black Coffee and &ME, which maintains a soulful pulse throughout. These textures support and never overwhelm Romy Dya’s voice, which is the EP’s emotional nucleus. Her performance is a stunning balance of vulnerability and strength, delivered with a level of nuance that elevates the entire track. Her voice ebbs and flows through the production, at times floating just above the synths, at other times anchoring the track with raw, almost whispered intensity.

Synth-wise, Soul Logic leans heavily into cinematic territory. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Tale of Us and Ben Böhmer, the duo layers lush pads with melancholic harmonies and evolving melodic phrases. These elements create a sense of space and movement—like watching emotion unfold in slow motion. The interplay between light and dark is particularly striking: bright, airy melodies are tethered by brooding basslines, creating a tension that mirrors the lyrical theme of emotional contradiction.

What truly sets this release apart is its atmosphere. Every moment feels intentional, from the ambient intros to the delicate breakdowns. The production values are immaculate, with a mix and master that prioritizes clarity without sacrificing depth. MIR MUSIC’s support in delivering this high-fidelity experience is evident, ensuring that every sonic detail contributes to the immersive whole.

Soul Logic is more than a collection of tracks—it’s a deeply personal narrative, a musical dialogue between love and reason, crafted by artists who understand the power of emotional storytelling. It is both club-ready and introspective, a rare balance that speaks to Fleanger and NIRØ’s vision and maturity as producers.

We’re proud to feature Soul Logic on our webzine, not just as a high-quality EDM release, but as a testament to how electronic music can speak to the human condition. It lingers long after the final note, an echo of feeling that defies explanation—and that’s exactly what makes it special.
