"Autobody is a daring, emotive, and immersive record that reaffirms Onelight’s place at the forefront of hybrid electronic music
French producer and DJ Onelight is set to return with his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Autobody, a project that arrives as his most ambitious and accomplished work to date. The culmination of three and a half years of experimentation, evolution, and meticulous sonic crafting, the record marks a defining moment in his artistic journey. Having already garnered support from heavyweights like DJ Mag, Complex, and Rinse FM, Onelight has long been recognized for his ability to push genre boundaries, but Autobody elevates this reputation to a new, visionary frontier.
“Blending genres is what defines me. I think the mix of electronic sounds and R&B vocals is the most exciting combination.”
The album’s core identity lies in the deliberate friction between the organic and the synthetic. Onelight weaves soulful R&B vocals into cold, futuristic electronic frameworks, twisting mainstream sensibilities with avant-garde experimentation. This "hybrid" approach creates a universe that feels both nostalgic and unsettlingly new. Tonally and visually, the project evokes a surreal world—described aptly as a blend of David Cronenberg’s visceral aesthetics and a 2000s-era music video for The-Dream—where sensuality meets digital tension.

"Autobody is a daring, emotive, and immersive record that reaffirms Onelight’s place at the forefront of hybrid electronic music."
Beyond the music, Autobody explores the intersection of technology and humanity, juxtaposing AI-driven visuals with traditional production methods to tell a "post-human" story. It is a record that refuses to play it safe, challenging the status quo through relentless sonic exploration. With the first single, ‘Keep Your Heart Alive’, arriving on January 28th and the full album following on February 25th, Onelight is poised to deliver a definitive statement on the future of electronic sound.
