Utrecht-based producer Corren Cavini marks a new creative era with the release of Agoraphobia, the lead single from his forthcoming debut album A Place To Call Home, due October 10, 2025. Known for his emotionally-charged melodic techno and cinematic approach to arrangement, Cavini delivers a piece that is as much a tribute as it is a personal reckoning – an elegy to places that once offered safety and a meditation on the shifting meaning of “home.”
Agoraphobia unfolds with patient intensity-anchored by broad, elegiac synths, tactile textures and a restrained sense of propulsion. It takes its name not only from the psychological condition, but from Pleinvrees – the iconic Dutch event series whose name translates directly to “agoraphobia.” Having held its final edition in October 2024, Pleinvrees was more than just a festival for Cavini; it was a formative space where emotional vulnerability and club culture coexisted, and where the blueprint of his sound first took shape.
This track becomes both an homage and a redefinition: not fear of the crowd, but the search for connection within it. A reimagining of the dancefloor as sanctuary. Cavini threads that sense of intimacy through every layer of Agoraphobia – making the track feel less like a single and more like a portal into the world of the full LP.
“I’ve had some of my most emotional moments on the dance floors of Pleinvrees and the sound of the artists I heard there has really shaped my own sound. Pleinvrees is one of many examples of a place where music can be a safe space and home for people who need it. This track pays tribute to their legacy.” – Corren Cavini
As his debut long-form statement, A Place To Call Home represents a major artistic leap. It is not simply a collection of tracks – it’s a cohesive body of work, deeply rooted in narrative, place and emotional memory. Spanning cinematic ambience, finely-sculpted club rhythms and moments of near-silent introspection, the album charts a journey through the thresholds between belonging and disconnection, presence and absence, interior and exterior worlds. Built with the patience and precision of someone intent on lasting impact, the record blurs the lines between dancefloor utility and immersive listening, designed to resonate whether heard through headphones at night or through a Funktion-One at sunrise. In an era of algorithmic releases and short attention spans, A Place To Call Home is a bold commitment to the album as art form – an honest, emotionally layered work from an artist stepping fully into his voice.
With previous releases on DAYS like NIGHTS, This Never Happened, Armada Electronic Elements and Purified Records, Cavini has quietly shaped a distinctive sonic identity that has resonated across dancefloors and headphones alike. A classically trained guitarist with an ear for drama and subtlety, his work channels a lineage of artists who value storytelling as much as structure – leaning more toward introspection than ecstasy.
His recent performance at Purified Johannesburg, now available as an official livestream on YouTube, further cements his growing reputation as a live artist capable of holding emotional space within peak-time slots – bridging underground energy with cinematic weight.
Agoraphobia is not just a single – it’s a signal. Of closure. Of growth. And of what happens when an artist turns inward to find the places that once existed out there. A Place To Call Home arrives October 10.
