Artists Who Sound Like CRi: 10 Names To Follow for Melodic House
CRi makes electronic music that feels personal without getting soft around the edges. The writing has melody, the drums still move, and the best tracks carry that rare balance where a vocal can feel intimate while the production keeps the record useful for DJs. That is why songs like “Never Really Get There,” “I Can Make It,” “Losing My Mind,” “Gemini,” “To You,” and “A Smile With Scars” work across Anjunadeep fans, indie-electronic listeners, and people who need a real song before a dance track fully clicks.
The easy version of this list would be a pile of obvious Anjunadeep names. That would miss the point. CRi’s own mixes and collaborations point toward a wider lane: vocal-led melodic house, indie electronic, deeper club music, and artists who can make small details feel important without burying the song.
Our Handpicked List Of Artists Who Sound Like CRi
Laure
Laure is the Magnetic Magazine Recordings artist I would put first for CRi fans because “Moon Whispers” has the same patient emotional center that makes CRi’s softer records work. The track does not need to push hard to keep attention. It lets the main idea settle in, then keeps the arrangement moving underneath it.
Night Breeze
Night Breeze is the pick for CRi fans who like electronic music with a real instrumental feel. “Wanaka Springs” has guitar-led movement, steady drums, and a patient melodic idea that keeps the track from feeling like generic playlist house.
pørtl
pørtl fits CRi fans from the production side. “Elodie” has a thoughtful melodic shape, a measured arrangement, and enough detail in the synth work to reward repeat listens. CRi’s best records often work because the details feel musical before they feel technical.
Romain Garcia
Romain Garcia belongs here because the CRi connection is direct. “A Smile With Scars” appears on CRi’s AMi Vol. 1 release, and Romain brings a melodic, emotional, Parisian electronic angle that fits the lane without sounding like a copy.
Kloyd
Kloyd is one of the better deeper pulls here because CRi played “0101” in his Anjunadeep Edition 441 mix. Kloyd’s music has a melancholic, vocal-fragmented electronic feel that sits close to CRi’s more intimate side.
Amtrac
Amtrac earns a spot because CRi included “So Afraid” in his Anjunadeep Edition 441 tracklist. Amtrac brings indie-dance songwriting, house structure, and a bit of analog grit into a format that CRi fans should understand fast.
SWIM
SWIM is a smart deeper pick because CRi played “Love” in the same Anjunadeep Edition 441 mix. “Love” has a tender vocal center, steady electronic movement, and enough character to feel personal without drifting away from dance music.
Miette Hope
Miette Hope is a direct CRi collaborator through “Outline,” and that makes her a useful recommendation for anyone who likes the vocal intimacy in CRi’s music. Her voice has the kind of close, unforced quality that can make a dance track feel personal.
Nicky Elisabeth
Nicky Elisabeth fits CRi fans because she shares that artist-performer angle where the vocal and production feel tied together from the start. She also connects directly to CRi through “This Is Our Life.”
Bob Moses
Bob Moses are the bigger name here, but the connection is direct enough to earn the slot. CRi remixed “Hanging On,” and the overlap makes sense: vocal-led electronic writing, band-adjacent structure, and production that still understands club movement.
