Dylan Phoenix at the International Music Awards 2025: An Emotional Journey with "A Different View"

Dylan Phoenix, also known as Alessandro Vezzoni (CEO of Funeral Records Autoproduction), is set to grace the prestigious stage of the International Music Awards 2025. With the final scheduled for this June 30th, Phoenix is competing with three tracks from his upcoming album, "A Different View": "A Shadow in the Mirror," "Apocalyptic Vision," and "Take Me." This new work marks a significant shift in his musical direction, a change the artist himself describes as a move towards "Twilight Haze," a genre blending elements of dark synth pop and electro wave. Unlike his previous productions, where the electric guitar was the protagonist, in "A Different View," synthesizers dominate the scene, creating evocative and profound atmospheres. The Competing Tracks: An Exploration of Grief and Love Beyond Life The three songs presented at the International Music Awards 2025 offer an intimate and moving insight into Dylan Phoenix's emotional journey, particularly in processing deep grief. "A Shadow in the Mirror" is an intense and poignant reflection on the last day the author saw his partner, Marta, alive. The song is a heartbreaking lament for unspoken words, for missed opportunities, and at the same time, an indelible testament to a love that, even in the face of physical absence, continues to live and pulsate. The melody and lyrics merge to express the regret and persistence of a bond that transcends death. With "Apocalyptic Vision," Dylan Phoenix explores the concept of distance, both physical and spiritual. This track, featuring the talented vocalist Darquette (aka Patrizia Anzevino, vocal artist and A&R for White Dolphin Records), describes Marta crossing the threshold between life and death. The song universalizes this experience, making it accessible to the listener as a metaphor for any kind of distance, earthly or otherwise. "Apocalyptic Vision" thus becomes a sonic bridge that invites reflection on boundaries and their permeability, allowing listeners to connect with their own experiences of separation and reunion. Finally, "Take Me" is a desperate and powerful cry of love and longing. The song expresses the constant need for Marta's presence, even though she is no longer alive, through an incessant search for her in every face and every situation. This futile search culminates in a final chorus that repeats like a mantra: "Take me love, take me in your arms dark love." It's a heartfelt message, a plea to transcend the boundaries of life for an eternal, no-return embrace—a desire for reunion that defies all logic and every barrier. The album "A Different View," to be released soon, promises to be a work of great emotional and sonic impact, a manifesto of Dylan Phoenix's new artistic path. His participation in the International Music Awards 2025 is not just a competition but an opportunity to share a deep personal and musical journey that will touch the innermost chords of listeners. Artist Biographies Dylan Phoenix (aka Alessandro Vezzoni – CEO of Funeral Records Autoproduction) Alessandro Vezzoni, known artistically as Dylan Phoenix, emerges as a multifaceted figure in the Italian music scene, not only as an artist but also as an entrepreneur in the record industry. He is the CEO of Funeral Records Autoproduction, a label dedicated to music production and distribution. Dylan Phoenix's biography reveals a deep connection to his homeland, Pietrasanta (IT), in the heart of Versilia, an area renowned for its artistic heritage (Michelangelo himself left his mark there). This artistic root may have influenced his creative path. A central element of his personal story, reflected in his music, is a period of withdrawal from the music scene starting in 2011 due to family commitments, particularly the birth of his son "Dylan Robert" in 2013. Subsequently, a divorce after four years of marriage due to character differences led him to a new chapter in his life and, evidently, to resuming musical activity with renewed focus. His musical project "Kabal Apocalypse" and its tracks "Toxic Industry" with the digital "7" Time Machine, distributed by Funeral Records Autoproduction, show a previous foray into more "dark wave" or "industrial" sounds intertwined with guitars, as also evidenced by a White Dolphin Records compilation. This information is consistent with the description of a "change in musical direction" towards "Twilight Haze," highlighting a transition from previous guitar-dominated sounds to the current prevalence of synthesizers. Darquette (aka Patrizia Anzevino – Vocal Artist and A&R for White Dolphin Records) Patrizia Anzevino, known as Darquette, is a vocal artist and serves as A&R (Artists & Repertoire) for White Dolphin Records. The latter is an independent record label based in Italy, active worldwide, and specializing in alternative sounds, particularly Dark Wave, Shoegaze, and Synth. Her A&R role implies that Patrizia Anzevino is actively involved in the search and development of new musical talents, as well as managing artist relations. This makes her a key figure in the independent music scene, with a deep knowledge of industry trends and dynamics. Her association with White Dolphin Records and her A&R role indicate significant experience and expertise in alternative and electronic music. Her vocal participation in Dylan Phoenix's "Apocalyptic Vision" highlights her versatility and ability to contribute to projects exploring intense and profound soundscapes. For Dylan Phoenix, with his new "Twilight Haze" sound and the emotional tracks from "A Different View," the June 30, 2025 final represents a unique opportunity to present his new artistic direction and to share the depth of his musical message with a wider audience and the international industry.
