Mareux is an electronic music project from LA based musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani. With his EPs “Decade” (2013) and “Predestiny” (2020), Mareux made a name for himself among fans of dark 80s synth-pop.

However, his breakthrough came in 2021 when his 2015 track “The Perfect Girl” (originally by The Cure) went viral on TikTok. Mareux’s cover of The Cure’s “The Perfect Girl” gained over billions views on TikTok. The music video for the song featured RuPaul’s Drag Race Winner Violet Chachki alongside leather-clad men.

He now has released his new single, “Little Lies”, today, April 7. This new track comes ahead of his Coachella performances and debut album set for release on May 5.

Below are the two previous singles.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
