Grigoré's 'Heal Me, Save Me' is his first release on the Diynamic label in nearly two years. It broke a silence that had lasted since his 'Combinations' EP in March 2023.

'Heal Me, Save Me' opens with airy, breathy pads, a distant chord wash, a patient heartbeat drum. There is space in the mix and the kick does not fight for attention; it simply marks time while warm stabs hover above. A vocal sample, processed and indistinct, arrives in fragments, not as a hook but as texture, another layer of atmosphere in a record that keeps its headroom to spare. There is a sheen across the top end, bright but not brittle, so the whole thing feels polished without being aggressive. The drums never rush; they run, steady and unhurried, and that restraint gives the track its pull.

A first release on Diynamic in 20 months is a statement in itself. The label has a tradition of artists who return when the work is ready, not when a calendar demands it. Tulum, where the season is just starting to warm up, has already heard this one in the right rooms.

The label said

Grigoré returns to Diynamic for his third full EP now, called „Seasons“.

The title track together with vocalist Serve Cold is a melancholically uplifting tune with an almost spiritualistic vibe - let the dance floor be your church.

„Heal Me, Save Me“ blends a sombre groove with an ethereal superstructure of pads and vocals and with that, tumbles on the line between light and darkness.

Then „Take The Lead“ together with Oësha hits the highway and puts the pedal to the metal - lights flashing by until there is no one left to see in the rear view mirror.

And „Insanity“, also with Serve Cold, is a bumpy retro jam with thick arpeggios and robotic vocals - an arcade game coming to life.
