Belgian producer Deco (BE) steps up with 'Breathing' on MoBlack Records. With its release date on 14 Feb, the track has been moving through the scene and earned a spot in Andhim's March charts, sitting at ninth. It also continues MoBlack's strong run into 2025, marking their seventh single of the year.

On the surface, 'Breathing' appears designed for dancefloor heat. There is a busy percussive sheen, a bright arrangement, and enough kinetic movement to satisfy peak-time playlists. But on closer listening, a more subtle interplay reveals itself. The vocal and melodic content carry the structure more than expected; the percussion sits low, providing the frame rather than the focal point. The track pushes forward with a big, confident sound that rarely gives ground, but there is a tightness in the mix, a lack of air in the upper frequencies that keeps the overall mood more dense than soaring.

The label said

Ghent-based artist, Deco delivers a sublime synergy of Afro and melodic house in his latest single, Breathing. Propelled by deep house rhythms and an airy melodic groove, the track exudes a natural ebb and flow, mirroring the art of the breath. Intuitive cadences weave seamlessly with poignant vocals, creating a dynamic interplay of tension and release. With ethereal resonance, sensuous percussion, and tender riffs, Breathing offers a climactic journey that explores the catharsis of letting go. Immersive and introspective, the track lingers like a quiet revelation, capturing the emotional spectrum of surrender and shifting the energy of any space it graces.
