Egzod New Alias Merage Drops Drum & Bass Track "Replay"

Egzod’s New Alias Merage Drops Drum & Bass Track “Replay”

Egzod, the cinematic bass producer known for grandiose, emotionally heavy electronic soundscapes, has done exactly that with the launch of his new drum & bass alias, Merage. And with his debut single Replay, he doesn’t just dip his toe into the genre—he dives in headfirst, fists clenched, heart racing.

Out now via Monstercat, “Replay” is a headlong sprint through emotional wreckage, dressed in breakbeats and adrenaline. The title couldn’t be more fitting: this song feels like a moment you’ve lived through a hundred times, one you wish you could forget but somehow keep reliving on a loop. It’s a cycle of heartbreak, regret, and internal chaos—but it moves too fast to dwell. That’s the beauty of it.

If Egzod’s older catalog was about building tension and releasing it in carefully measured doses, Merage is about urgency. “Replay” doesn’t climb to a peak—it fires from the hip. With propulsive percussion, searing synths, and lyrics that border on self-destructive (“My head’s a mess, I’m out of luck / I guess I’m lost when you’re around”), the track captures the unfiltered volatility of post-breakup despair without wallowing in it. Instead, it weaponizes that chaos into propulsion.

What’s striking is how natural the transition feels. While some producers lean on genre tropes as a crutch when shifting gears, Merage comes off like someone who understands drum & bass not just technically, but emotionally. There’s weight behind the rhythm, but not at the expense of clarity. The drop hits hard—but it also hits right. You can feel the catharsis, and more importantly, you can believe it.
