Paradox Obscur <\/strong>is the Athens, Greece-based synth duo of Kriistal Ann and Toxic Razor, who have built a devoted global following since debuting in 2014. Having signed to Metropolis Records to issue the \u2018Singles & Rarities\u2019 collection in 2021, their current studio album \u2018Morphogenesis\u2019 followed in mid-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group have spent the interim period self-releasing a series of singles, but now return to Metropolis for \u2018Lose This Feeling\u2019, a cover version of a 2023 dance anthem by Dutch DJ and producer Armin Van Buuren. Replacing the frenetic vibe of the original, it has been reinterpreted by Paradox Obscur in a dreamily nostalgic synth-oriented style further adorned with an emotionally heartfelt vocal by Kriistal Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u2018Lose This Feeling\u2019 is the first single from a new album entitled \u2018IKONA\u2019 due later in 2025 that will showcase a wide range of both retro and modern electronic styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair initially met via very different disciplines, with Kriistal Ann having studied classical music and piano at the Prague State Conservatory, while Toxic Razor was a synth and drum machine enthusiast who had been recording his fledgling ideas. Having formed Paradox Obscur, their uncompromising ethos from the off was to record old-school electronic music in real-time, utilising synths and drum machines to create an authentic analog sound with a haze of ’80s dance nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pooling of the duo\u2019s diverse talents has been critically acclaimed and led to inclusion at numerous festivals and events, where they have shared stages with other important artists on the minimal-electro, darkwave and post-punk scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
