Mareux is the moniker of Los Angeles-based musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani, an emerging talent in the darkwave and post-punk revival scene. His music deeply resonates with the tones of the 80s, blending synthesizers and brooding melodies that nostalgically recall the era's new wave aesthetic. Mareux's sound is characterized by its emotive synth lines, atmospheric arrangements, and a poignant vocal delivery that often explores themes of love, longing, and existential musings.

Mareux's work stands out for its ability to bridge the gap between vintage sounds and contemporary interpretation, giving him a dedicated fanbase drawn to his hauntingly beautiful compositions. Releases like "The Perfect Girl" and its various remixes showcase his versatility and ability to collaborate with other artists, adding different layers and dimensions to his music. The cleverly reimagined covers and originals like "Lovers From The Past" and "Little Lies" are testaments to his skillful songwriting and production — they harness the energy of past decades while remaining undeniably modern. With each new release, Mareux continues to solidify his place in the modern underground music landscape.
