‘Hold On Me’ by Leena Punks, Reyus, Lauren L’aimant

Collaborations have long been the norm. However, when the paths of London-based producers with Greek roots cross with those of talented vocalists, the result often transcends the status of a “run-of-the-mill release.” The latest proof of this is the track “Hold On Me,” released on Insomniac’s Interstellar Recordings. Leena Punks, Reyus, and Lauren L’aimant have recorded a track that balances on the edge of epic progressive and intimate romance.

Unlike aggressive peak-time techno, this track embraces a synthwave aesthetic. The sound evokes a romantic cyberpunk soundtrack—clean arpeggios and slightly edgy leads. The energy builds gradually. Leena Punks is known for her love of complex synths. In “Hold On Me,” she adds a slight overdrive to the upper end of the frequency range. Because of this, the rhythmic pattern literally “jumps out” at you, grabbing your attention from the very first bar. The producers didn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but perfectly captured the vibe of ’80s raves using warm sub-bass.

Lauren L’aimant is a frequent collaborator with Leena Punks, and their partnership has already been tested on previous projects. Her voice here doesn’t float abstractly but serves as a hook. While the beat and bass drive the dance floor with increasing intensity, Lauren’s timbre adds a touch of melodrama. The vocals sound restrained yet dense. They prevent the synths from “sinking” into cold, soullessness.

Leena Punks has already established herself in the Melodic Techno scene. She is supported by big names—from Armin to Meduza. Consequently, collaborations like this are a logical step. Reyus adds production drive. Lauren L’aimant provides the final emotional touch. The release is available on all streaming platforms. Add it to your playlists for meditative dance.
