Filius Unveils Glitchy Hyperpop Energy With New Track “CTLR”

Filius returns with “CTLR”, a track that captures the chaotic beauty of modern hyperpop while bringing a cinematic sense of movement and emotion. Described as the kind of song made for breakdancing in the rain, the track channels the unforgettable energy of that iconic scene from Step Up 2: The Streets, blending intensity, drama and a feeling of complete release.

Built around PC Music and digicore influences, “CTLR” pushes glitchy production and emotionally fractured vocals into a futuristic soundscape. Filius creates a world where glossy distortion meets vulnerability, with layered autotuned vocals floating through warped textures that feel almost like a computer is crying a little. The result is a track that embraces digital imperfections while turning them into something expressive and human.

Fans of artists such as Dorian Electra and underscores will recognise the experimental approach, with Filius combining playful electronic influences, distorted sound design and raw emotion. “CTLR” feels both futuristic and nostalgic, reflecting the strange relationship between technology, identity and feeling in the digital age.

The release continues Filius’ growing presence in the alternative music scene, following previous features from respected publications including NOTION Magazine, HUNGER Magazine and METAL Magazine. The track also features a mix by Brad Lauchert, whose previous work includes collaborations with artists such as Billie Eilish and Camila Cabello.

Alongside the release, Filius has launched a full press campaign, including a premiere with HUNGER and an accompanying music video that expands the visual world of “CTLR”. The combination of striking visuals and boundary-pushing production highlights Filius’ ability to create music that feels designed for both headphones and the dancefloor.

With its fractured vocals, futuristic sound and explosive energy, “CTLR” showcases Filius as an artist unafraid to embrace the strange, emotional and unpredictable side of pop music. It is a track built for movement, whether that means dancing through the rain or getting lost in a world of digital distortion.
