Behind the track "Rain"
SE:VER presents “Rain” by Notego, KATAR & Jean De Saar, opening the label’s autumn season. The track blends Melodic House and Afro House through a deep groove, expressive piano hook, distinctive vocals and contemporary club production. Romantic and slightly melancholic in mood, it moves naturally between dancefloor energy and more intimate listening.
The arrangement combines modern Afro House rhythms, melodic songwriting and the atmospheric aesthetic associated with SE:VER. The vocal and piano hook gradually build toward the track’s main climax, giving “Rain” a strong emotional payoff while keeping the production clean and club-ready.
The three artists have an established track record of international releases and DJ support. Their music has appeared on QulaqAs, SE:VER, Headonism, Vetra Records, Suprematie, Aboriginal, La Mishka and AfroKhin, with multiple releases featured in Beatport charts and editorial selections.
Notego’s music has generated 7M+ streams across streaming platforms and social media, with multiple Beatport Hype Picks, Best New Hype features and Top 100 entries across Afro House, Indie Dance and Melodic House & Techno. His tracks have been supported by Keinemusik, Black Coffee, Hugel, Aaron Sevilla, Joezi, Swanky Tunes and others, and played twice at Tomorrowland.
KATAR’s catalogue includes a #3 Beatport Afro House position for his remix of S.Samo’s “Vibes” and #10 for “Takatum” with KOFA. His collaborations with Toni Sizer and KOFA were among the notable club records of 2024, while his work with Jean De Saar, including an unofficial “Billie Jean” remix, received support from Maxi Meraki, JORD, Notre Dame, Imen, Firas Kobbi, Tim Baresko and Sak Noel.
Jean De Saar’s “Heal My Soul” reached #46 on Beatport and received a Staff Pick and inclusion in The Afro House Shortlist, while “Kuzokhanya” reached #15, received a Hype Pick and appeared in Best New Hype Afro House. His “Tape of Way” surpassed 600K streams on Yandex Music.
“Rain” continues SE:VER’s focus on contemporary Melodic House, Afro House and emotional club music, combining seasonal atmosphere with a sound designed for DJ sets, festival dancefloors and evening playlists.
