RONA Unveils New Single ‘Mars’ Ahead of Forthcoming EP It’s All Here

Brisbane-based Kaytetye producer and DJ RONA has shared her new single ‘Mars’, offering a first taste of her highly anticipated EP It’s All Here, arriving Friday 19 September. The track merges electronic club rhythms with deeply cultural soundscapes, blending Indigenous knowledge and futurist vision to explore a future rooted in connection to Country and community.

‘Mars’ presents stirring, interplanetary-inspired production while RONA’s mantras “it’s all here” remind listeners that solutions and hope lie within ourselves and our environment. Accompanied by a moving music video directed by Tyson Perkins, featuring artwork from Kaytetye, Anmatyerr, and Arrernte artist Carmen Glynn-Braun, the single further cements RONA’s reputation as one of Australia’s most innovative electronic artists.

‘Mars’ reimagines a future not in the stars in the contemporary race to space, but in the soil. It’s a love song to Earth, to the possibility of regeneration, even when everything feels lost. In a world racing to escape, ‘Mars’ slows down to listen to the dirt, to the water, to the memory we carry in our bodies. 

The song poses a question: what if the most radical thing we could do was stay? To tend to the ruins. To let the flowers grow through us, because everything we need is here. It’s all here. Mars is a track for those who still believe this world can bloom again.” – RONA.

To celebrate the release, RONA will embark on an Australian tour across club venues and festivals including Byron Bay’s Haven, Melbourne’s Sub Club, Adelaide’s Ancient World, Perth’s Lubly Dae, and a special Meredith Music Festival appearance. Known for her electrifying live performances, RONA has previously supported RÜFÜS DU SOL, Overmono, Four Tet and more, and continues to push the boundaries of electronic music while honouring First Nations storytelling.

Pre-save It’s All Here now and experience RONA’s transformative sonic journey with ‘Mars’ before the full EP drops this September.
