Vince Alphen Drops Three-Track Believe EP on OBSCUUR This March

Antwerp's Vince Alphen landed his OBSCUUR debut on March 6 with the Believe EP, a three-track digital release available on the label's Bandcamp page and SoundCloud. The EP threads what OBSCUUR describes as "euphoric trance feeling through tougher, bass-forward edges," and the three cuts cover enough emotional and textural ground to work across very different contexts in a set.

The title track carries the most direct emotional weight. OBSCUUR's release copy calls "Believe" "the heart of it: an uplifting, vocal-led peak-timer about needing that nudge to hit your full potential." If you're programming a peak-hour slot, this is the obvious anchor of the three.

The second track pivots hard. "Sofie In Morocco" was sparked by Alphen's manager's trip to Morocco, and the production follows through on that inspiration with psy-leaning drums and a taut low end built around an oriental theme. It's the darkest moment on the EP and the one that leans furthest into the rhythmic tension minimal players will recognize from the better end of the psy-minimal crossover.

The third cut, listed as "Where Did U Go" on the OBSCUUR Bandcamp tracklist, closes things out on a more kinetic note. The label describes it as channeling "the aftermath of a breakup into something resilient and driving, melody pushing against the kick until it breaks into light." That push-and-release structure gives it an arc that rewards patience on a proper sound system.

OBSCUUR positions Believe as "a first marker in a busier 2026 from Alphen," which suggests more material is coming from the Antwerp producer before the year is out. No additional release dates or live dates have been confirmed at this point.
