Crossing Realms: Ben C & Kalsx & Aaron Decay Deliver a Dreamy Summer Descent
With Cross The Line, French duo Ben C & Kalsx team up with rising talent Aaron Decay to deliver a captivating journey that merges deep progressive, melodic techno, and touches of deep house.
At once moody and transportive, the track explores the emotional turbulence of crossing from one life stage to another.
“The idea was to reflect on the pain and beauty of leaving something behind,” the artists explain.
Anchored by haunting female vocals — “Now I wonder, who am I?” — and carried by warm, hypnotic synth layers, Cross The Line masterfully blends melancholy with groove.
“We wanted to keep the identity chill and dreamy, while still making the track dynamic,” they add.
Mission accomplished: the lead synth in the final verse surges with emotive force, a moment they proudly cite as a highlight.
The production is lush and carefully detailed, with analog textures from Diva and Serum, and a summery, organic rhythm that gives the track both warmth and depth.
A long-planned collaboration, this track feels like a seamless fusion of artistic worlds.
It’s more laid-back than some of their previous works — but all the more powerful for it.
As the lyrics suggest:
“Nothing can save me, my demons are angry…”
Cross The Line invites the listener to face their inner shadows — and keep dancing anyway.
