Music Is 4 Lovers continue to shine a light on forward-thinking electronic music with a standout new release from Ukrainian duo MASOUL, featuring a powerful reinterpretation by ELIF. The Barcelona-based artist delivers her own take on ‘You Are Why’, reshaping the original into a hypnotic, emotionally charged journey that reflects her distinctive sonic identity.

ELIF’s version of ‘You Are Why’ is driven by a deep sense of tension and release. Pulsing grooves and carefully sculpted low-end form the foundation, while swirling textures and subtle melodic movements draw the listener inward. Her trademark sense of restraint allows the track to breathe, gradually building atmosphere and momentum without ever losing its emotional core — a balance that has become synonymous with her sound.

Born and raised in Istanbul and now based in Barcelona, ELIF has carved out a reputation as a versatile and authentic artist, equally compelling behind the decks and in the studio. With releases that have garnered millions of streams and support from tastemakers such as Pete Tong, Ben Malone, and MixMag Asia, she continues to push beyond conventional boundaries. As the founder of Marginalia, her own growing label, ELIF also champions emerging talent while refining her own evolving artistic vision.

The release sees MASOUL’s original work expanded through a diverse remix package, with ELIF’s contribution standing as a highlight — emotive, hypnotic, and unmistakably her own.

You can now listen to the exclusive premiere of MASOUL – ‘You Are Why’ (ELUF Remix) on When We Dip. Enjoy!
