Minnesota grown and classically trained, Hydrah is a musical triple force, an electronic music producer, composer, and singer blossoming into the club and festival scene.
Her background has manifested into intricate compositions that synthesize orchestral-inspired melodies atop heavy driving bass lines with powerfully indelible vocals, reminiscent of a siren song with raw power. Emotionally charged and melodic, Hydrah’s latest works are an evolved fusion on the cutting edge of dance music. Hydrah unveils a deeply cinematic return on her own imprint, Acropora, with a stunning new single that fuses raw emotional power and atmospheric elegance.
Driven by her haunting vocals and rich, textural production, the track channels her time
immersed in nature and reflects on the fragile state of our changing planet. Ethereal yet grounded, it’s a sonic journey that blurs the line between dancefloor energy and environmental storytelling, a powerful statement from an artist who continues to craft music with meaning.
What is the story behind the track?
Most of my creative inspiration comes from nature—it’s my true paradise. The lyrics of this track reflect a deeper story: one of ecosystems under threat and the beauty of the natural world slowly disappearing. With this release, and more to come, I’m shining a spotlight on organisations dedicated to protecting our planet. For this project, I’ve chosen to support The Nature Conservancy, a group I’ve personally volunteered with and deeply admire for their impactful conservation work. Alongside the track, I’ve created a visual piece filmed on the rugged, dramatic shores of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world. In the video, I perform the song live, surrounded by the raw power and serenity of nature—a setting that mirrors the emotion behind the music.
Tell us more about your production process
My process varies day to day. Sometimes it’s a vocal line that pops into my head and I take it from there; other times I start with just a pad to create a mood. I always aim for a strong catchy melody, and sometimes that is both the vocal line and the synth line. I love to layer melodies, but this is a tricky and delicate balance. With electronic music productions, the possibilities are endless.
Did you do anything special production-wise with this one that might be interesting?
I usually have very minimal vocals, as I think techno tends to lean more this way, but I decided to make this one very vocal heavy and vocal focused, which is not normal for me.
What were your influences for this track?
I wanted this track to feel raw and emotional. I was listening to a lot of Vivaldi and Beethoven when producing this track. Classical music is where I find my melodic inspiration.
How would you describe the track?
This is a powerful, cinematic, and vocal-driven track with strong textural elements and atmospheric elegance.
What are your plans for this year as an artist/DJ?
I have several more releases on the way with my label, Acropora, as well as other melodic house and techno labels. I plan to film more live performances in natural settings all over the United States and continue on my mission to raise awareness through music and art. Hopefully, soon I can take this concept international!
Do you have anything exciting coming up?
Right after the release, I plan to unplug and go off-grid into the wilderness for a week. I am thrilled to get this track out into the world, but I also feel the need to detach from technology for a bit to reset my mind. This also helps with my musical productivity.
Is there anything extra you can share with us about yourself?
I am also a water scientist, and I am grateful I have found a way to combine my passion for science and music!
