On June 6, 2025, Captive Soul welcomes a powerful new release: Kraken by rising Indian talent Sixth Ocean. This gripping melodic techno piece is a fierce, emotive journey – an embodiment of the mystery and majesty the track is named after. With soaring leads and cinematic depth, Kraken is both a dancefloor weapon and an emotional release, echoing Captive Soul’s vision of music with meaning.
As the mythical creature stirs from the deep, so too does a soundscape full of tension, beauty, and unleashed power. Kraken doesn’t just drop – it emerges.
Hailing from Mumbai, India, Sixth Ocean is an emerging voice in the melodic house & techno landscape. Known for his soulful soundscapes and captivating leads, he crafts music that’s not just for the club, it’s an emotional journey designed to resonate deeply with listeners. Sixth Ocean has brought his unique melodic sound to stages across India, captivating audiences with emotionally charged sets. He has shared the stage with international icons like John Summit, ARTBAT, Ben Böhmer, Miss Monique, Agents of Time and many more, supporting their shows with standout performances that have solidified his place among the most promising names in the scene.
Like all my tracks, when I started working on this track, I didn’t have any plan, all I knew was that I was going for a peak time melodic techno track and I wanted a memorable lead synth that stands out.
I like to be lost in the music while I’m creating it. I try to forget about everything and everyone, dissolve into the moment and let the universe create through me and Kraken is an outcome of this phenomenon.
I think I came up with the chords in the breakdown first and then the lead synth and melody mysteriously arose from a series of sound design and sequencing experiments. Once I had that, I crafted the supporting elements around it and the track was formed.
SIXTH OCEAN
During the show with John Summit in India, Sixth Ocean was deeply moved when John played two of his tracks – a powerful and unforgettable moment that marked a milestone in his artistic journey. With recent support from global tastemakers like Vintage Culture, ARGY, Korolova, Massano, and Henri Bergmann, Sixth Ocean is quickly establishing himself as an artist to watch. His music represents more than just rhythm; it’s an invitation to immerse in the present moment, to enter the “Sixth Ocean“: an imaginary realm where time dissolves, and only music remains.
Captive Soul: Elevating the Emotional Frontier
Founded by Ukrainian DJ and producer Korolova, Captive Soul has become a beacon for deeply melodic, emotionally immersive electronic music. Each release, including Kraken, furthers the label’s mission to fuse beauty with drive, storytelling with sound. This is music made to move bodies and open hearts.
