Since dropping on May 2nd, 2025, via Enormous Chills, Exstra’s ‘Round & Round‘ featuring Frýnn has taken the melodic house scene by storm. This track is a sonic odyssey, kicking off with a punchy four-on-the-floor beat layered with a haunting hang drum arpeggio that teases the listener. As it builds, a throbbing bassline and lush atmospheric pads collide with Frýnn’s otherworldly vocals, soaring into a euphoric crescendo that’s been lighting up dance floors and playlists alike over the past week.
Behind the magic is Exstra, aka Steven Landis, a Valley Stream, New York native now thriving in NYC’s pulsating music hub. With 1.8 million streams under his belt and releases on heavy-hitting labels like Colorize and Zerothree, he’s no stranger to the spotlight—his 2024 tracks ‘All I’ll Ever Know‘ and ‘Frozen‘ earned love from Nora En Pure’s Purified Radio and AVIRA’s The Sound Gallery on Sirius XM. Add to that his electrifying sets at We Belong Here festivals alongside icons like Kaskade and Lane 8, and it’s clear Exstra is a force reshaping electronic music.
In a recent chat, Exstra spilled the tea on how ‘Round & Round‘ came to life: “’Round & Round’ started as a remix of a friend’s song, but it took on a life of its own, evolving into something completely original. I was feeling inspired by the darker side of melodic club music and I wanted to create a melody that first appeared as a subtle tease—played delicately on a hang drum—before transforming into something more intense with an aggressive synth lead. After I completed the instrumental, I felt like a warm, beautiful vocal would be the perfect complement. Needless to say, Frýnn‘s stunning voice brought everything together effortlessly!” With its fresh release still reverberating, this collab is proof Exstra and Frýnn are a match made in melodic heaven.
