Marginalia presents ‘Stand Me EP’, the label’s second release of 2026 and the debut outing from Sicilian DJ and producer Adran, featuring a remix from Andy Bros. A bold four-track statement, ‘Stand Me EP’ marks a new evolution in Marginalia’s catalogue – bridging raw rhythmic instinct with melodic tension and emotional depth.

A lifelong percussionist turned producer, Adran translates his rhythmic roots into hypnotic, evolving dance music. His sound sits between organic drive and synthetic control – an aesthetic that has already earned him support from Rüfüs Du Sol, Adriatique, and Henri Bergmann. Across the EP, he channels that duality into distinctive form.

Opening title track ‘Stand Me’ unfolds as a slow-burner of layered percussion and restrained emotion. ‘Believe In The Music’ follows with kinetic uplift and fluid motion, while ‘Encoder’ dives deeper into stripped, late-night territory – pure precision and pulse.

On remix duties, Andy Bros reinterprets ‘Stand Me’ through his Diynamic-honed perspective: widescreen, cinematic, and designed for late hours. His version builds momentum around a rising melodic figure and glowing harmonic tension, amplifying the EP’s emotional core.

With ‘Stand Me EP’, Marginalia continues its mission to spotlight emerging voices within its global community while linking Mediterranean roots to Berlin modernism. Adran’s debut is a vivid expression of that ethos – confident, hypnotic, and forward-looking.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Believe In The Music’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
