Nathaniel “Nate” Rathbun, better known as American electronic hitmaker Audien, officially presents “So Sad,” a progressive-meets-stutter-meets-piano-house original now streaming on Armin van Buuren‘s renowned Armada Music label. Evident by his recent discography, the Connecticut-born “Kill The Lights” remixer stands out as a golden-age DJ sustaining key relevance in today’s modernized music scene. Without force, “So Sad” vividly captures forward-thinking dance music elements while harnessing Audien’s authentic mainstage appeal.
“So Sad” marks the 32-year-old DJ’s third single of 2024, following August-released “Living in Color,” featuring Los Angeles-based vocalist Jeoff Harris, and January-issued “21,” co-produced by Anjunabeats tastemaker Jason Ross. Notably, “So Sad” also marks Audien’s first solo release since “Superhero” arrived last October.
With posted tour dates currently spanning through his headline set at Lights All Night Dallas on December 29th, Audien appears poised for a highly successful rest of 2024. At this rate, fans might expect an even more prolific 2025.
