Autodepth, SMWLAYY & Noir Foncé - Closer

Stream/Download

The journey through our most collaborative, cross-genre EP to date has officially reached its zenith. Over the past few months, The QR Network has charted new territories in modern sound design, moving from the pristine, late-night architecture of "The One" to the infectious groove of "Carousel," the emotional pull of "Don't Wanna Wait," and the heavy festival bounce of the "Gold (Pastland Edit)." Today, we close the loop. We are incredibly proud to present "Closer," a jaw-dropping final chapter delivered by a powerhouse trinity of Indonesian electronic pioneers: Autodepth, Noir Foncé, and introducing the label debut of SMWLAYY.
The Arrival of SMWLAYY
While long-time listeners of the label are intimately familiar with the pristine production quality of Autodepth and Noir Foncé, "Closer" serves as a foundational arrival for SMWLAYY within The QR Network family.
For those who track the global explosion of Southeast Asian dance music, SMWLAYY is a name that commands immediate respect. As a foundational frequent flyer on Jakarta’s premier imprint Saints Records, and having captured global attention with an aggressive solo showing and an Autodepth collaboration on Yellow Claw's world-renowned Barong Family label via the Worldwide Vol. 3 Indonesia EP, SMWLAYY’s pedigree for driving crowds insane is well-documented. Reuniting these creative forces alongside Noir Foncé on our imprint provides the ultimate arena to showcase their collective growth.
Anatomy of a Mainstage Weapon
"Closer" does not simply sit comfortably in a single subgenre box; instead, it intentionally shatters standard arrangements to create a true hybrid club weapon.
The record maps out the distinct DNA of all three creators in flawless succession:

• The Foundation: Autodepth guides the initial melodic movement, establishing an intensely clean, heavy, and plucky Future House bassline that cuts directly through the mix with architectural precision.
• The Groove: Noir Foncé seamlessly wraps the record in his signature late-night Bass House swing, injecting the exact type of high-velocity, driving rhythm that has made his club edits staples of late-night sets.
• The Absolute Insanity: Just when you think you have the record completely figured out, SMWLAYY tears down the framework. The second drop introduces a massive, face-melting hybrid trap switchup that catches the listener completely off-guard—transforming a groovy house cut into a chaotic, neck-breaking festival anthem.

"Closer" is a testament to the versatility, aggression, and relentless innovation brewing within the Indonesian electronic underground. It serves as the perfect, high-intensity exclamation point on a multi-track saga we've been honored to curate.
