Emerging from the sun-drenched coasts of Australia, Anime-inspired duo LMNT 115 teams up with British powerhouse vocalist Zak Abel for their latest single, “Out of the Dark.” Known for his stirring collaborations with Kygo, Avicii, Alan Walker, and Alok, Zak Abel lends his soulful, near-country-tinged vocals to this uplifting summer anthem, which blossoms from tender piano melodies into a euphoric chorus driven by groovy basslines and organic feel-good instrumentation. Following the duo’s impressive breakout success with their debut “Close To You” from November 2024 and its follow-up “Holding On To Us” (which amassed 7,5M streams and views combined) “Out of the Dark” marks their third official release and continues their upward trajectory with a message of hope, warmth, and emotional revival. Accompanied by a heartfelt music video that mirrors the track’s message of light emerging after darkness, this collaboration showcases LMNT 115‘s storytelling prowess and solidifies their place as rising stars in the global dance-pop landscape. See below for direct quotes from the artists on this exciting new track:
“Hitting rock bottom can spark transformation and self-belief. This is a tribute to choosing authenticity over perfection and finding victory in simply staying true to your own path.” – LMNT 115
“‘Out Of The Dark‘ is a song about being grateful for the difficult times because I wouldn’t be where I am without them. Everyone has their own individual journey to make, and this is a celebration of mine.” – Zak Abel
LMNT 115
Mysterious yet magnetic, LMNT 115 is a newly formed producer duo shrouded in secrecy, known for their custom-designed animated personas rather than revealing their real identities. The project officially launched on November 15, 2024, the same day they released their debut track and has since captivated audiences with its futuristic aesthetic and cinematic storytelling. The duo consists of Z – the charismatic songwriter, and Fab – the quiet yet brilliant producer. Together, they draw inspiration from Anime/Manga, cyberpunk cityscapes, and the spirit of resilience crafting a world as captivating as their music. Their name, derived from Element 115, a theorized otherworldly fuel material, symbolizes the undeniable creative force that has driven them since childhood. Sonically, they stand alongside artists like Marshmello, MEDUZA, Calvin Harris, and Loud Luxury, while their artistic vision echoes the likes of Gorillaz. With an unprecedented debut single, a growing presence, a bold creative direction, and more singles scheduled for release later this year, LMNT 115 is carving out a space where music and immersive storytelling collide.
