Where Emotions Meet Rhythm: Esther Anaya Unveils “FANTASY”

Every playlist has a track that flips the mood, the one you reach for before a late-night drive or warmup. DJ and producer Esther Anaya’s new single, “FANTASY,” pairing cathartic lyrics with polished production and her electric violin, is proving to be just that type of mood. Anaya’s euphoric vocals carry a message that many people need to hear: empowerment and freedom ignite when you stop giving fear the aux cord and let the ride unfold. 

A Musical Release Built on Letting Go

Control feels safe until it shrinks your world. “FANTASY” turns that tension into motion, inviting you to breathe, move, and quit auditioning for perfection. 

Stacked vocal layers swell against crisp basslines, then make room for her violins that climb like bright threads through the mix. From there, the emotional arc lands as movement rather than a lecture. You come for the drop and stay for permission to loosen your grip. 

What the Track Sounds Like

Think modern dance energy with a melodic heart. The topline lifts first, bright and insistent, while the low end keeps the room glued together. Synth pads widen the frame, percussion snaps in clean, and the electric violin adds a human edge that could surprise fans who crave electronic beats with a pulse and a point. The net effect is a room-filling hook that carries weight without heaviness. It’s a big room, but still feels personal. 

Why It Lands on Festival Floors

Dance music culture runs on shared moments and trust. “FANTASY” taps that spirit of love and unity with lyrics about authenticity and being real. The writing stays plainspoken, the arrangement leaves room to breathe, and the chorus peels open into a vibeyou might hear echoing from a side stage to the front barricades of the main, further highlighting Anaya’s skill as a producer.

What’s Next for Anaya? 

The music industry runs on momentum, and “FANTASY” marks Anaya’s shift from performer to fully formed producer, making this release her fourth in Fall 2025.  She’s leaned into her house music instincts, keeping the chorus tidy, and threads violin runs that nod to her classical training, which may set up live sets that move easily between decks and bow without feeling like a gimmick. The promise is clear enough to earn another spin. 

Anaya’s ability to transcend music genres and diverse social scenes has resulted in recent partnerships with Cadillac and iHeartMedia, as well as  DJ residencies at Las Vegas’ Zouk Nightclub and Miami’s E112ven.  

How It Fits Your Listening

Songs earn their slot on the dancefloor by doing the work. “FANTASY” suits the warmup before a night out, at festivals, the last mile of a treadmill run, or that quiet chill-out period between meetings. Set it in a mix beside vocal-forward dance tracks and instrument-driven interludes, then notice how the violin phrasing threads transitions, so the energy keeps moving without turning harsh or flat. 

The message is simple enough to remember and open enough to mean something different each time you hear it. Esther Anaya takes the pressure off perfection, points you back to the moment before you, and wraps it in a hook that might follow you to Monday.

When the last chorus fades, you may notice fewer thoughts and lighter shoulders, a small signal that solid dance music can clear some of the cobwebs in your head while handing you a steadier beat.
