Your Side of the City
Romeo Vane
Verified Artist
Romeo Vane
"Romeo Vane: at the ripe age of 25, this American pop-rock comet is shooting across the Alternative universe, spreading hope with doses of edgy authenticity. Born and bred in the sonic heartland of the Windy City, he’s a Chicagoan with an unapologetic knack for compelling narratives and an obsession for truth.
Whether it's life's sharp corners or the soft bruises of love, Romeo Vane's got a knack for rolling them into tunes that blend breezy alt-rock melodies with the raw, gritty flavor of pop. His stage name isn't for show; Romeo comes with a romantic bravado that'd make Shakespeare blush, and the barbed tongue of a true Windy City native. Just tune into "Kiss Me When I'm Lying" - it's less of a song, more a rollercoaster ride through hope, heartbreak, and hilariously serious self-deprecation.
Despite his youth, he's seen more than enough of life's ups and downs, packaging the human experience into easily digestible nuggets of melodic wisdom. Romeo Vane’s music is the kind that makes you call your ex at 2 a.m., cry a little, laugh a lot, and still believe in the dream of a better dawn. Now, how's that for a self-made, alternative songwriter from the city that never sleeps?"
Your Side of the City
Romeo Vane
You called me late from the east side
Said the rain looked better in blue
I had my jacket on the backseat
Like I already knew
You said don’t make this a habit
I said too late for that now
Every streetlight feels like a warning
But I keep turning around
And I don’t know what you do to me
But I forget where I was going
Every time you say my name
The whole damn night starts glowing
I keep driving to your side of the city
Red lights white lines you look so pretty
I don’t need a reason I don’t need a plan
I just wanna be where you are again
I keep falling like I never learned better
One touch two hearts under bad weather
If this is wrong then wrong feels right
On your side of the city tonight
You were barefoot in the doorway
With a smile you tried to hide
Said “You shouldn’t have come over”
But you moved your hand aside
There’s a song on the radio
That we both pretend we hate
But you know every word now
And I know it’s getting late
And I don’t know how you pull me in
Like the moon controls the ocean
Every time I try to leave
You become my only motion
I keep driving to your side of the city
Red lights white lines you look so pretty
I don’t need a reason I don’t need a plan
I just wanna be where you are again
I keep falling like I never learned better
One touch two hearts under bad weather
If this is wrong then wrong feels right
On your side of the city tonight
Maybe we’re reckless
Maybe we’re just afraid
Maybe all the best things
Don’t know how to stay
But if the morning finds us
With nothing left to prove
I’ll still choose the long way
If it leads me back to you
I keep driving to your side of the city
Red lights white lines you look so pretty
I don’t need forever I don’t need a plan
I just wanna be where you are again
I keep falling like I never learned better
One touch two hearts under bad weather
If this is wrong then wrong feels right
On your side of the city tonight
On your side of the city
Where the lonely lights look pretty
I don’t need the morning
I just need tonight

Velvet Switch
Celeste Raye
Verified Artist
Celeste Raye
There’s a certain stillness in Celeste Raye’s voice — the kind that turns crowded rooms quiet and late-night drives cinematic. Born and raised in South London, she grew up mimicking the elegance of old soul singers and the cool detachment of ‘90s club divas. On stage, Celeste doesn’t reach for the spotlight — it finds her.
Her latest release, Velvet Switch, is a slow-burning club anthem soaked in longing. Produced by NOT FM and available exclusively on Filodyo, the track pulses with quiet intensity — as if it’s remembering something you forgot you missed. Celeste’s voice doesn’t cry out. It hovers, suspended above the beat, tracing the shape of absence with each note.
People don’t come to her sets just to dance. They come to feel understood — in dim lights, with their eyes closed, mouthing words they’ve never said out loud. Velvet Switch captures that moment between stillness and surrender, when the music takes over and you stop pretending you’re fine.
Celeste Raye isn’t trying to be timeless. She already is — not because she sounds like someone else, but because she sounds like a feeling you’ve had before, but never named.
Velvet Switch
Celeste Raye
You touched my name with a fingertip lie
Then vanished like sugar in red wine
I didn’t chase I didn’t speak
But I rewrote you in every beat
You blink I break
You breathe I ache
You move I wait
(I wait I wait)
Come turn me on like a velvet switch
No promises just static twitch
Don’t love me—just circle back
One more loop then fade to black
(Ahh…)
Circle back
(Ahh…)
Fade to black
Your silence talks in Morse to me
I hum it back unconsciously
No need for vows no names to curse
We orbit pain—but in reverse
You blink I float
You breathe I choke
You move I glow
(You know you know)
Come turn me on like a velvet switch
Forget the rules forget the glitch
Don’t stay long—just mark the track
One more loop then no way back
(Hmm…)
Mark the track…
(Hmm…)
No way back…
It’s not love—
Just beautiful damage
A signal you sent
But never managed
(And I… tuned in anyway)
Come turn me on like a velvet switch
Whisper sweet in a foreign pitch
Don’t need truth—just feedback hum
One more loop—then I’ll come undone
(Undone…)
(Undone…)

Closer to Your Rhythm
Milo Dray
Verified Artist
Milo Dray
Milo Dray is a Toronto-based pop artist whose musical journey began in the vibrant warehouse party circuit, where he and a tight-knit group of fifty regulars would gather to dance the night away. It was during one of these late-night gatherings that Milo first noticed the magnetic connection between music and movement, capturing moments that feel both intimate and expansive. His track "Closer to Your Rhythm" exemplifies this energy, with lyrics that echo the bittersweet thrill of attraction and the simple sparks that draw people together. Born from nights of camaraderie and emotion, his songs resonate with themes of hope and inspiration, inviting listeners to embrace the uplifting power of connection.
With a catalog that remains within a respected niche, Milo's sound is characterized by its ability to merge happy melodies with poignant undertones, creating an emotional tapestry that reflects both celebration and introspection. His work often draws on memories of those early parties where every heartbeat felt synchronized to the music, echoing sentiments like “the whole room shifts” when someone special walks in. The journey from an unreleased track shared among DJs for two years to his current acclaim illustrates the authenticity behind his artistry. Each song serves as a testament to those moments of vulnerability, making Milo Dray not just an artist but a storyteller who invites you to find your rhythm alongside him.
Closer to Your Rhythm
Milo Dray
You walk in the whole room shifts
Every heartbeat leans to your lips
No drama just that simple spark
Like streetlights waking up the dark
I’ve been looking for a reason
To let my guard fall for a minute
And the way you move is speaking
In a language with you in it
I don’t need a thousand signs
Just one look and I know the line
’Cause you pull me closer to your rhythm
Like we’re dancing on a pulse we both believe in
No rush no pressure just a feeling
That keeps on rising rising
Yeah you pull me closer to your rhythm
And suddenly the night feels like it’s listening
If love is just a moment then I’m in it —
You pull me closer to your rhythm
Your laugh hits like a gentle beat
Pulls me right into your gravity
No games here only clarity
Like we found our own frequency
I’m not trying to overthink it
Let the moment be the meaning
If the world stops for a second
Let it stop right here I’m breathing
I don’t need a thousand signs
Just one touch and the rest aligns
’Cause you pull me closer to your rhythm
Like we’re dancing on a pulse we both believe in
No rush no pressure just a feeling
That keeps on rising rising
Yeah you pull me closer to your rhythm
And suddenly the night feels like it’s listening
If love is just a moment then I’m in it
You pull me closer to your rhythm
Maybe this is something real
Maybe this is how it starts
Two hearts falling into time
Moving steady in the dark
You pull me closer to your rhythm
Every breath in sync the world is shifting
No rush no pressure just a feeling
That keeps on rising rising
Yeah you pull me closer to your rhythm
And suddenly the night feels like it’s listening
If love is just a moment then I’m in it
You pull me closer to your rhythm

Catastrofe
Ra Rauw 42
Verified Artist
Ra Rauw 42
Ra Rauw 42 is a Berlin-based hip hop trio redefining what underground sound means in the heart of Europe. Formed in 2022, the group brings together three contrasting forces: Jonas “JZ” Klinke, a battle-scarred lyricist raised on Neukölln’s street corners; Felix “Nebula” Brandt, an analog synth hoarder with a soft spot for East German radio textures; and Lina “Vel” Morgenstern, a conservatory dropout whose icy vocals and haunting hooks give the group its signature edge.
Their paths crossed at a chaotic warehouse rave in Friedrichshain. JZ was freestyling through the fog machine, Nebula hijacked the aux cable to drop a grime bootleg, and Vel—originally just photographing the night—ended up singing the hook that silenced the crowd. That spontaneous moment led to their first studio session, where “Catastrofe” was born.
“Catastrofe”, their explosive debut single, dropped exclusively on Filodyo, bypassing traditional platforms in a deliberate move to keep their sound raw and uncensored. It’s not just a song—it’s a signal. Ra Rauw 42 isn’t asking for attention. They’re taking it.

You Weren’t Looking
Soft Rebellion
You Weren’t Looking
Soft Rebellion
I passed your street last night
Didn’t mean to — or maybe I did
Same windows same light
But nothing inside felt like it did
You always said “it’s just a place”
But some rooms keep their ghosts
I still see you in that chair
Talking fast laughing most
I left a note in my head
For all the words I never said
Like how silence grew too loud
And how I stayed when I should’ve fled
I watched your eyes drift off
When I needed them to stay
But maybe I was asking
For more than you could say
You weren’t looking
When I reached out
You weren’t listening
When I came down

Raindrops In Ruby
Nico Laurent
Verified Artist
Nico Laurent
Hailing from the sprawling city of Chicago, known for its gusty winds and hearty deep-dish pizzas, the one and only Nico Laurent has been making waves in the musical landscape with his undeniable talent and contagious energy. Born to an imaginative mother who weaved narratives that enchanted Nico's world and a meticulous father whose precision for constructing circuit boards was only matched by his love for the blues. You could say Nico was born to rhythm, melody, and a healthy dose of storytelling. He began his magical sonic journey right there, in the sweet-spot between abstraction and engineering, affectionately known as creativity.
That journey led Nico to pen one of his most notable songs, "I'm Not The One," a tune that dances delightfully between heartbreak and hope, two relatable sides for many of his listeners. His songs mirror his life - filled with textures and nuances - which are as electrifyingly real as the Chicago skyline during a lightning storm. Perhaps it's his mother's storytelling gift that makes his lyrics so compelling, or his father's keen sense for balance that keeps his melodies ringing in your ear long after the song ends. Or maybe, just maybe, it's that cheeky grin of his that makes you think he might know a secret or two about life's grand design. Whatever the case, it's hard to resist the magnetic pull of Nico Laurent and his ever-evolving sound.
Equal parts witty word-spinner and evocative tunesmith, Nico proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the metaphoric tree (and by the sound of it, this apple picked up a guitar on its way down). Nico remembers sitting between piles of books and heaps of cables as a kid, writing stories about robot musicians or sketching out designs for flying guitars, and that imaginative spirit still fuels his music today. So, buckle in and hold onto your hat (the wind in Chicago doesn’t mess around, you know), because Nico Laurent is just getting started, and this is one ride you won't want to miss.
Raindrops In Ruby
Nico Laurent
Follow the footprints of centuries
Lost in the fields of she always ran
Carving out all of the treasuries
We read alone in the rain
Why does it sound so much worse in the morning?
Cry out the letters she sent when we met at that place
Why'd you make me wait when I knew you were wrong?
There she goes
I've known love
And love constantly goes
And if I leave everything open
I'm constantly closed
I can't leave anyone hangin'
But yet I still hang like a post
Feels like she moves in slow motion
I can't let 'er down 'cause she's already gone
Want her around
But I know that would be so wrong
There's so much to see in the world
Why does it sound so much worse in the morning?
Cry out the letters she sent when we met at that place
Why'd you make me wait when I knew you were wrong?
There she goes
Caught in the middle of something again
Why do I mention whenever I can?
Unlock the moment of rubies and stains
Looking to find when the love met the rain
Locked in an image as clear as the rain
Lookin' to find through eternity

Billie Arden
Cut the feed
Leave the meter running
Hold that grin
I came with my own timing
You tried to sell me a cleaner name
With the corners sanded down
Put my laugh in a little glass case
Said “Look who’s stable now”
I don’t fit in your easy chart
I don’t land on command
There’s a tune in my crooked part
You don’t understand
Don’t fix the bend
Don’t mute the spark
I keep my rhythm
Off the mark
No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold
You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told
No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet
Your golden rule came overdressed
And talked like a magazine
I poured black coffee on the test
Made the paper sing
You said “Be calm be useful now”
I said “Nice little cage”
Then I took my pulse off your clock
And rewrote the page
Don’t trim the heat
Don’t square the sound
I keep my rhythm
Upside down
No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold
You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told
No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet
Left right
Too bright
Low kick
Uptight
Turn snap
Come back
One more
Off-track
I was never built for your manual
Never born for a numbered lane
Every time you label the motion
Something loose begins to play
Let the clean ones keep their answers
Let the smooth ones win the floor
I have trouble in my timing
And it always asks for more
No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold
You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told
No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet
Cut the feed
Leave it running
No default
I’m still coming

Hold Your Cross
Aurora Finch
Verified Artist
Aurora Finch
Aurora Finch is an independent singer-songwriter from Edinburgh, Scotland. She is contracted under Filodyo and whose work voraciously resonates with the vast local music scene.
Born and raised in the shadow of the UK's most mystical capital, Finch has evolved from singing in the rain-soaked alleyways of Edinburgh, a city globally recognized for its love for stirrings of creativity, to performing at local venues. Known for her deep-textured voice and unwavering dedication, she paints an ethereal sonic portrait that revolves around themes of love, life, and memories. Aurora plays guitar like she's ringing a bell and is able to stir up some pretty gnarly sound liveliness when she combines it with her husky vocals. There is, however, nothing 'cold' about this Finch, except perhaps her icy-blue guitar which has become her trademark.
One of her most notable tracks, "Hold Your Cross", showcases Aurora's ability to weave melodies that perfectly blend depth and lightheartedness. With lyrics that touch on the intricacies of human nature and tell a captivating story, the song is just one of many illustrations of her uncanny ability to resonate deeply with listeners. The song showcases Finch's gift - a knack for writing melodies as magnets for emotions, attracting both the reminiscent and visionary listeners from all around her hometown.
Whether it's on stage or off, Aurora Finch emanates warmth and wit in equal measure. She's the kind of artist you expect to find writing lyrics on a napkin in a quirky café or strumming her guitar from the comfort of a worn-out armchair. With a brilliant talent whose roots are firmly grounded, Aurora Finch is definitely a name to look out for in the increasingly eclectic world of independent music.
