Vellichor is the electronic music project of Ben Urena — an American singer, songwriter, and producer based in Dallas, Texas. His sound sits at the intersection of melodic house and organic house: deep melodies, dark basslines, misty vocals, and analog sound design woven into immersive atmospherics. Releases on Manual Music (including the Cinematique EP "Such A Place" and Manual Deep single "All The Time") established his catalog across European labels, while 2026 singles like "Heroes," "Kings," "Lillian" (with Discognition on Magnetic Magazine Recordings), and "Echoes" show a producer still pushing long-form, emotionally driven club music. Magnetic Magazine named him among Artists to Watch in 2026, citing his obsession with detail and resistance to algorithm-friendly uniformity. With a decade of production behind him and a steady release cadence through spring 2026, Vellichor treats electronic music as a space for memory, personal history, and sonic curiosity rather than playlist filler.
