“What on earth am I meant to do? – In this crowded place, there is only you – Was gonna leave now I have to stay – You have taken my breath away” ‘”In Your Eyes”, is the debut solo track from London-based producer ELLI, and I am in love with the track.

Originally from Greece, ELLI has been based in London for the better part of a decade working as an automotive engineer and creating music. Following collaborations with the likes of Denis Horvat and Koelle, and releases on labels including Needwant, Anjunadeep, Objektivity and Truesoul, she is ready to take the next step and release her own solo material.
Channelling a broad range of influences, her solo project explores the intersection between ambient/ electronic soundscapes recent track ‘Aggregate’ has seen her championed by tastemakers including BBC Radio 1’s Jaguar, who playlisted the track in the BBC Introducing Dance show.
With a driving baseline and an elevated cosmic synth-pop vibe, this sublime rework reconstructs the original into a modern dance floor groover, oozing sensuality, elegance and depth. In the accompanying video, shot by a friend at her home in London, ELLI pays homage to Kylie in a series of bold silhouettes that cut between the city skyline and the abandonment felt on the dancefloor as her own dreamy vocals play out, evoking memories of late nights spent in the club.
On the track and accompanying video ELLI says:
“I’ve always loved Kylie, she is so inspiring. Fever is a stunning album, I remember dancing to it non-stop when it was released. ‘In Your Eyes’ was always my favourite. The video is very much a DIY affair, shot on my iPhone with a friend at my building, in London. I wanted to capture the early hour’s vibe after a night out – seeing your crush”
