Rony Seikaly launches remix contest for “Walking Out Of The Dark”
The former NBA star turned global house talent offers producers the opportunity to put a fresh spin on “Walking Out Of The Dark.”
Rony Seikaly has launched the official remix competition for his new single “Walking Out Of The Dark,” inviting producers from across the electronic spectrum to reinterpret one of his most personal and club-driven records. The former NBA star turned internationally respected DJ and producer continues to shape a distinct artistic identity built on storytelling, emotion and rhythmic depth, and this contest offers emerging artists a chance to join that narrative through an official release on his label STRIDE.
Seikaly’s evolution from global athlete to underground headliner has been marked by a relentless commitment to craft. Raised between Beirut and Miami, he began DJing as a teenager, eventually turning his lifelong passion into a full creative pursuit. His productions echo influences from disco to contemporary house while carrying a melodic sensibility that has become a signature of his sets. Releases on Saved, Yoshitoshi, Suara and 8Bit have earned strong support, while STRIDE has become a platform for his own sonic vision, consistently charting on Beatport.
“Walking Out Of The Dark” continues this approach, blending emotional progression with club-focused weight. Producers entering the contest are encouraged to reimagine the track in their own style, whether leaning toward tech house, melodic techno, deep house or Afro-infused rhythms. STRIDE will consider not only the winning entries but also standout submissions that bring a compelling new perspective to the record.
