New House Banger “Until The Lights Go Out” by Axwell & CARMA

With “Until The Lights Go Out,” Axwell reminds us why he’s long been considered a master architect of the dancefloor. Teaming up with CARMA—the UK duo of James Carter and Tom Martin—he delivers a thunderous new single that pulses with urgency, euphoria, and just the right touch of cinematic drama.

Out now on his revived Axtone imprint, the track is more than just a return—it’s a statement. This is Axwell in full command, reconnecting with the high-octane, emotional energy that first defined his solo catalog. From its opening moments, “Until The Lights Go Out” builds with purpose, layering atmospheric synths and haunting textures before detonating into a four-on-the-floor drop that’s both elegant and explosive.

It’s dance music engineered for transcendence. Every element—fluttering melodies, vocal loops drenched in longing, the tension between buildup and release—feels intentional, and unmistakably Axwell. There’s no doubt this one was born to echo through festival speakers long after the sun goes down.

CARMA’s influence brings added depth. Known for their sleek, emotionally charged productions, Carter and Martin thread a brooding sophistication beneath the high-gloss surface. The collaboration feels seamless, each artist amplifying the other’s strengths rather than competing for space. The result is a club track that doesn’t just hit hard—it lingers.

The release also marks a personal milestone for Axwell. It’s his first solo output since 2018’s “Nobody Else” and coincides with his return to Axtone, the label he founded and recently sold to Pophouse Entertainment. Though he’s no longer at the helm, his role as Founding Partner and Creative Advisor ensures that the label’s soul remains intact.

First premiered during his historic solo set at Ultra Miami in March, “Until The Lights Go Out” already feels like a future classic—a song designed to soundtrack the kind of collective catharsis that only dance music can deliver.

For those who live for the moment when music, memory, and movement blur into one—this track is your after-hours anthem.
