WHY by SLOK

After years of musical silence, Italian artist Alessandro Russo, internationally known in the electronic music scene as SLOK, returns with his fifth studio album: “WHY”. The choice of release date is no coincidence: October 21, 2025, the producer’s birthday, symbolically marks an artistic rebirth and the return of a unique voice in contemporary electronic music. The album features 11 brand-new tracks, including a striking reinterpretation of “We Are Your Friends”, the iconic electronic anthem born from the collaboration between French duo Justice and UK group Simian Mobile Disco, alongside the title track, “WHY”, which serves as the emotional centerpiece of the work. SLOK emerges from the shadows of club culture, guiding listeners on a sonic journey through retro ’80s atmospheres. Each track showcases his ability to move effortlessly across different sonic worlds, blending nostalgia and innovation in perfect harmony. Released as a worldwide exclusive on his label Electronic Petz, “WHY” is much more than an album: it is a personal manifesto, a musical narrative that looks to the past with gentle melancholy and to the future with imagination, turning every listening experience into an intense and immersive journey. Happy B Day !
