Steve Aoki, Marnik, and MR.BLACK released ‘Instant Moments’ on June 25, 2025, via Dim Mak Records, delivering a festival power-house that blends their unique styles. Aoki, a global EDM icon with a Grammy nod for Wonderland, has worked with BTS, Blink-182, and David Guetta. Marnik, the Italian duo, shines with melodic hits like ‘Shiva’ alongside KSHMR. MR.BLACK, a psy-trance innovator, lights up crowds at festivals like Parookaville. Together, they’ve crafted a track that showcases Aoki’s mainstage flair, Marnik’s hooks, and MR. BLACK’s high-energy vibe.
The single reimagines R.O.O.S.’s ‘Instant Moments’ from the 90s, keeping the melody’s euphoric core while speeding it up with psy-trance stabs and hard techno kicks. It channels Tiësto’s early trance energy in its builds, yet the sharp, modern drops fit right into today’s EDM scene. Already a crowd favorite at events like Neversea, the track strikes a balance between nostalgia and the intensity required for current dancefloors, making it a must-play for DJs.
With ‘Instant Moments’, Aoki, Marnik, and MR.BLACK proves they can refresh classic sounds for a new era. Their fusion of psy-trance and techno, rooted in R.O.O.S.’s melody, pleases both longtime trance fans and festival newcomers.
