Jaylious Finds Healing in the Darkness of “Saturday” and Invites Us All In

There are artists who make music, and then there are artists like Jaylious, who craft soundscapes out of memory, grief, and raw emotion. A Singapore-born house music producer and DJ now based in Orange County, California, Jaylious doesn’t just drop tracks he builds cinematic universes. Known for his dark, immersive EDM style that intertwines symphonic layers with chilling horror elements, Jaylious is a storyteller at heart. His latest release, Saturday, isn’t just a song. It’s a soul-spilling confession, a mourning ritual, and a breakthrough moment all at once.

At its core, “Saturday” is a tribute to Ramen, the beloved dog who changed everything for Jaylious. Two weeks after losing Ramen to cancer, while surrounded by friends on what should’ve been a joyful Saturday night, Jaylious found himself engulfed in silence only he could hear. Out of that pain, lyrics began to pour. What started as an emotional scribble on paper became the foundation for his debut six-track EP, “Saturday,” a sonic journey through loss, healing, and rebirth.

The song “Saturday,” which anchors the EP, blends haunting melodies with low-slung house beats and a ghostly synth haze that hangs over every line. It opens with a deceptively upbeat image:
“Knock, knock on my door / It’s a party in my house / Saturday be a night for fun.”
But beneath the party lights is a heart that’s still broken, still looking for someone who’s no longer there. The tension between the exterior joy and inner void is palpable. When Jaylious sings,
“Just like another night, you aren’t here / Something’s missing, something’s not right,”
it hits with the kind of truth you don’t often find in dance music.

The lyrics, repeated like a mantra, feel like a late-night phone call that never goes through:
“Can I call you, after Saturday / The bed is still warm, please don’t leave it cold.”
It’s vulnerable, yes but it’s also deeply relatable. How many of us have danced through our grief, surrounded by people but feeling completely alone? How many have clung to a memory just to make it through the night?

Jaylious doesn’t shy away from the heavy. On the contrary, he leans into it using throbbing basslines, ethereal synths, and echoing vocals to blur the line between club and confessional. There’s a cathartic weight to this track, especially in the repeated plea:
“Far away you might be, but nothing will bring me peace.”
It’s more than mourning. It’s an honest acknowledgment that sometimes, healing doesn’t mean closure. It means finding beauty in the broken pieces.

As part of a larger EP, Saturday is accompanied by five other tracks, “Incursion,” “Swagging It,” “Passion (ft. Barbara Vander),” “Screaming,” and “Abducted.” Each one contributes a chapter to the emotional arc, but “Saturday” stands out as the most personal, the most gutting, and ironically the most comforting. It’s the kind of song you play when the room gets quiet and your heart needs someone to speak your language.

Take a moment. Put your headphones on. Let “Saturday” wash over you.
