Electronic, alternative synth duo RYAL is pushing the boundaries of sound, creating music that feels as much like a vivid emotional experience as it does a performance. Made up of singer and keyboardist Jacque Ryal and producer Aaron Nevezie, the duo draws inspiration from an eclectic range of influences—artists like Bonobo, Little Dragon, Thom Yorke, SBTRKT, Tame Impala, and Damon Albarn. What results is a layered, intricate sound that blends both storytelling and sonic experimentation, delivering tracks that transport listeners into textured, immersive soundscapes.
B-Sides and Badlands describe the duo as “defiantly raw,” which perfectly captures the way RYAL balances polished production with a sense of unfiltered emotion. There’s a certain gritty, live energy that pulses through their music, likely born from their use of modular synth bass lines, analog drum machines, and keyboards combined with live guitar and drum kit. RYAL’s approach is both minimalist and powerful, evoking the simplicity of Brian Eno’s work while still being able to channel the infectious energy of a packed club. Their sound feels alive, as if the venue itself dances alongside the music.
Their newest single, “On the Inside,” released on September 9th, perfectly encapsulates their ability to make music that’s as fun as it is meaningful. This 6/4 synth-pop disco bop is all about celebrating the good vibes that come from within. It’s a reminder that the energy we bring to the dance floor—or to life in general—comes from inside ourselves. The track is designed to keep the listener dancing all night long, filled with pulsing beats, infectious grooves, and Ryal’s signature blend of vintage electronic textures and modern club-ready production.
As RYAL continues to evolve, they stay true to their core mission of making music that resonates on a deeply personal level while still inviting listeners to lose themselves in the rhythm. With “On the Inside,” they’ve crafted a track that’s not just about having a good time—it’s about recognizing that the best kind of joy is the one we generate from within.
