Argy & Omnya’s “Aria” Goes Gold in Italy

What started as a spontaneous studio session between two friends has now become one of the most important records in melodic techno history. Argy and Omnya’s breakout single ‘Aria’ has officially been certified Gold in Italy, a massive milestone for the artists, Afterlife Records, and the genre itself.

From Studio Jam to Global Anthem

Released in September 2023, ‘Aria’ immediately stood out as a transcendent piece of melodic storytelling, lush, emotive, and deeply cinematic. It became a centerpiece in Tale of Us and Afterlife sets, turning festival stages into emotional journeys. EDMTunes previously called the track “a spectacular melodic techno banger” for good reason: ‘Aria’ wasn’t just a club track, it was an experience.

Built on sweeping synths, atmospheric textures, and a hauntingly operatic vocal performance, the song felt like a modern dance aria, a tribute to Italy’s deep-rooted musical heritage wrapped in futuristic production.

A Message of Gratitude from Argy

“📀 ARIA IS GOLD 📀 Thank you for making this record not only the biggest Afterlife release, but also a milestone for a genre that has existed for only a short time. ‘Aria’ was born from nothing more than a couple of synths and a friendship. No samples from pop, hip hop, afro or latin music, unlike other popular songs. To see something so young and experimental rise onto mainstream radio and now reach Gold in Italy is living evidence of the power of many minds moving as one.”

Omnya’s Breakout Moment

While Argy has long been a force in the underground scene, ‘Aria’ marked a star-making turn for Omnya. His cinematic production sensibilities and melodic instincts helped bring a classical grandeur to the track merging tradition with cutting-edge electronic emotion.

The duo’s synergy on ‘Aria’ set a new bar for melodic techno collaborations, offering an elevated sound that blurs the line between festival-ready anthem and intimate listening experience.

A Cultural Milestone for Afterlife

The success of ‘Aria’ isn’t just personal, it’s symbolic. It’s a testament to how far Afterlife, and the melodic techno genre at large, has come. Tracks like this were once considered niche or underground. Now they’re breaking into mainstream charts, dominating radio, and reshaping the sound of dance music for a new generation.

With its Gold certification, ‘Aria’ becomes the most successful Afterlife release to date proof that a song created with authenticity, vision, and artistic freedom can resonate far beyond the dancefloor.
