SLANDER and HALIENE take on Eagle-Eye Cherry’s 1997 alt-rock hit “Save Tonight”, turning it into a melodic bass anthem for the modern era. Released under SLANDER’s Heaven Sent label, this version is both a tribute and a reimagination—preserving the emotional core of the original while amplifying it through dynamic electronic production.

SLANDER and HALIENE’s “Save Tonight” is a compelling reimagining—one that honors the emotional heart of the original while bringing it into the present with tasteful melodic bass production. It’s a track designed to resonate across contexts: from festival stages to late-night headphones. Whether you love it for the nostalgia or the reinvention, it succeeds in bridging past and present in a deeply felt way.

Hex Cougar’s “Fantasy” Review: A Nostalgic Revival of Future Bass & Melodic Trap

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

Discovering The Undiscovered

what we have to say:

“Fantasy” marks a tonal shift for Hex Cougar (aka Zander Schaus). It’s a track that leans into nostalgia by forging a bridge between the early golden era of melodic trap / future bass and today’s hard-hitting electronic textures. Hex Cougar’s signature sound shines throughout. The sound is clean, vibrant, and well-balanced: lush textures without muddiness, clipped highs, hard-hitting lows. The combination of nostalgic riffs (think early future bass) with more modern hardwave / melodic trap elements gives “Fantasy” depth—both forward-facing and respectful of its influences.

“Fantasy” is a standout in Hex Cougar’s catalog—a moment where he stretches into brighter, more euphoric territory without giving up the intensity that defines his heavier work. It’s an EDM anthem that appeals both to those chasing festival drops and those wanting emotional resonance. For fans of melodic trap, early future bass, hardwave, and the nostalgia-infused side of electronic music, “Fantasy” hits the sweet spot. It’s urgent, emotional, and thoroughly modern.
