Mareux unleashed his latest album, Nonstop Romance, on June 30, 2025, via Revolution / Warner Records, cementing his status as a standout in the electro-pop world. Hailing from Los Angeles, Mareux (Aryan Ashtiani) has built a rep blending ’80s-inspired synth-pop with darker, gothic vibes, pulling in fans with his platinum-certified cover of The Cure’s ‘The Perfect Girl’ and his 2023 debut Lovers From the Past. With over 500 million streams and gigs at heavyweights like Coachella, he’s no stranger to the spotlight. Nonstop Romance leans into his knack for gritty textures and raw emotion, proving he’s got more to say in a genre that thrives on reinvention.
The album’s nine tracks hit hard with a mix of retro and modern vibes. ‘Blackmail’ kicks things off with thick, pulsing synths that carry a sultry weight, while ‘Radio Club’ throws in warped vocals that twist through the soundscape, balancing unease with allure. Tracks like the title cut ‘Nonstop Romance’ and ‘Ébène Fumé’ (with Riki) bring tight drum patterns—think crisp snares and slippery rhythms—that keep the energy high. By the end, ‘Snake Eyes’ lands with bass so deep it shakes you to the core. It’s a lineup that nods to influences like M83 and Depeche Mode while staying distinctly Mareux.
What makes Nonstop Romance stick is how it fuses the dancefloor with something deeper. This isn’t just a party record—Mareux is chasing real connection, not quick highs. He’s said it himself: “finding love, speaking your mind, and sharing your feelings” drive this project (Beatique). The album’s darkwave edge slinks through every beat, but it’s his honest take on romance that sets it apart. It’s electro-pop with guts, a sound that’s as much about moving your feet as it is about hitting you in the chest.
