Max Styler and Ad-Apt Keep the Night Alive on “One More”
After running laps in Styler's ARC, CRSSD, and Proper NYE sets, the earworm nestles into Nu Moda's expanding catalog.

The notion of one more holds a world of possibilities: one more song, one more drink, one more hour, one more…anything. Max Styler and UK rapper Ad-Apt dive headfirst into them on Nu Moda’s aptly-titled sophomore single, “One More.”
Styler answer to “You & Me” — which kick-started this Nu era last October and went on to top Beatport’s Indie Dance chart — is anchored around a hook that’ll linger long after the song's run time expires: I’m not ready to leave the rave/I came to move and dance and misbehave.
Rest assured, ravers will feel this one. Listen below.
“‘One More’ is a late-night anthem,” Styler says. “We’ve all felt what the lyrics describe: the music is thumping, you’re in a state of flow and the night is never over.”
The track is not only highly relatable but indicative of where Nu Moda is moving. When our January Artist of the Month launched the label, he called it “a home for music to translate authentically and let it speak first.” Fittingly, “One More” conveys more than just the hedonistic candor that Ad-Apt delivers with just the right amount of authority to shut down requests to call it a night.
Embedded within its entrancing, replayable package of serrated sawtooth synths, crisp drums, and hoover stabs is confirmation that Max Styler possesses one of the sharpest ears for what moves dance floors in the game right now. The proof? It’ll be at the rave you’re not ready to leave either.
“One More” is out now and follows the first installment in Nu Moda’s Nexus compilation series, featuring selections from WELKER, Josh Gigante and Ugo Banchi, Mishell, Pavel Petrov, and DvirNuns and DOX.
