Having toured alongside artists including deadmau5, Kaskade, NERO, Tritonal, and No Mana, Madison first joined mau5trap ahead of his 2021 debut album ‘Living the Phantasm’. His second full-length, ‘Odyssey’, followed in 2024, bringing together 16 tracks developed over three years.
Now, Morgin Madison returns with ‘Another Eden’, his third studio album, released November 6th, 2026, via Enhanced Recordings. Created over seven months following a period of significant personal change, the record explores sobriety, self-discovery, and the possibility of rebuilding a creative identity. Moving beyond the stylistic boundaries of his previous work, the album features collaborations with LeyeT, Kindrid, Linney, HILYTE, Division One, and Treetalk.
In this conversation with EG, Morgin Madison discusses the experiences behind ‘Another Eden’, his evolving relationship with electronic music, the importance of creative freedom, and what he hopes to explore next.
EG: Hi Morgin, welcome to Electronic Groove. It’s great to have you with us. How have you been, and how are you feeling now that ‘Another Eden’ is finally out in the world?
Morgin Madison: Thanks for having me! It feels so good to get this album out. I put so much love into this project and I hope people can feel that.
EG: You describe ‘Another Eden’ as an audio diary of the last year and a half of your life. The album grew out of a period of significant personal change, but also from a reassessment of your relationship with music. When did you begin to feel that these experiences were becoming part of a larger creative story?
Morgin Madison: It started back in summer 2025. I was really burnt out with music and life in general. It felt like I was just going through the motions, and I couldn’t get inspired by anything. I was drinking almost every day just to feel less anxious. Then I took an honest look in the mirror, deleted all my apps, and got sober. Once I was a few months into that stage of self-discovery, I started to feel a lot of joy and love for the little things in life again. That’s when this album came to life.
EG: You’ve spoken about how getting sober in 2025 changed your perspective, including the way you approached making music. Did stepping away from some of the experiences traditionally associated with electronic music culture also change what you wanted to express through your work?
Morgin Madison: Absolutely, yeah. I love the culture around electronic music. But there came a point where I realized that standing around in a nightclub and drinking beers until 3 am isn’t making my soul happy anymore – regardless of whether I’m on the stage or not. It was a lot of fun, and I don’t judge anyone for enjoying that, but the older I get, the more I want to focus on things that bring me true fulfillment instead of an escape. We only have one life, and I want to be here for it. As for what that means for my music, I’m going to continue to explore that. I’d like to lean even further into the full-on artistry side of things.
EG: The image of a poisoned garden that needs to be brought back to life became central to the album’s concept. What was it about that analogy that resonated with you, and how did it eventually inform the title ‘Another Eden’?
Morgin Madison: That analogy came from something my friend told me at my lowest point in 2025. He said, “Right now your garden of life is poisoned, and it’s up to you to bring it back to life.” What that quote really means – whether you’re sober or not – is that the solution to your inner distress has to come from inside yourself. It’s great to have goals and dreams, but external things will never bring you inner peace. The meaning behind ‘Another Eden’ is that there is something beautiful waiting for you on the other side of struggle and change, even if it feels weird, unfamiliar, or unpopular. I’ve learned that the best days of your life are ahead of you if you can just show up for yourself.
“I’ve learned that the best days of your life are ahead of you if you can just show up for yourself”
EG: You created the album over seven months, after stepping away from social media and other distractions. What did that period of focus look like in practical terms? Did the change in routine also bring a different approach to writing and producing?
Morgin Madison: It changed everything. At first, simply not opening any apps at all (especially at the start of the day), improved my mental health. It’s so destructive having all these apps that are constantly showing you the highlights of everyone else’s lives with no prior context. It’s weird to think about once you get some space from it. I wasn’t partying either, so I had time to do things I truly cared about, and I could be completely present for them since I wasn’t drinking. In time, I went into the studio with a clear head instead of feeling like I had to make music for a specific purpose or goal.
EG: Musically, ‘Another Eden’ takes you beyond the progressive and melodic electronic territory that has defined much of your previous catalogue. You move between different genres, textures and vocal-led arrangements, allowing each track to find its own identity. Was this freedom something you consciously set out to pursue, or did it emerge naturally as you worked on the record?
Morgin Madison: It came naturally. My only goal was to make music that I love, even if on paper the genres are totally estranged from each other. It’s become so clear to me that neglecting creative authenticity to force a purpose just does not work – at least for me. The listeners always seem to know too. No matter what scene you’re in as an artist, it’s going to move on with or without you. You can’t catch every wave every time it passes, so you might as well be your unfiltered self. I don’t want to look back when I’m older and realize I spent my best years compromising.
EG: The album holds a wide range of emotions, from anger and uncertainty to optimism and hope. How important was it for you to let those contrasting feelings coexist, rather than shaping the record around one consistent emotional tone?
Morgin Madison: I can’t speak for everyone, but I realized when making this album that I was a bit scared of making something that sounded “too aggressive” or “too cheesy” at first glance. I later realized that reaction was just fear, and I knew deep down that expressing all of those things was the most natural representation of me, so I shouldn’t water it down. There are songs on this album that are aggressive and dark, and others that are euphoric and optimistic. Those emotions are all part of being human, and I’d feel incomplete if I wasn’t exploring all of them honestly.
EG: Several collaborations help give the album its distinct character, including ‘The Otherside’ with LeyeT and ‘Healing’ with Kindrid and Linney. How do you approach working with vocalists and other producers, and how do you make sure each collaboration contributes to the story you’re trying to tell?
Morgin Madison: With collaborations, I love to think of sonic storytelling first, and other things such as lyrics or artist compatibility second. When it comes to vocalists, I love working with people who have unique tones or textures to their voice that give the music sonic identity. Linney and LeyeT have such unique voices, and I always find their lyrics universally resonant. With other producers, I always love working with people who have their own distinct sound and approach to making music. Kindrid is easily the most unique and talented producer I’ve ever met; I just love the way he approaches sounds.
EG: ‘Healing’ seems to come from a particularly difficult point in this process, capturing frustration and uncertainty rather than the more optimistic outlook associated with the album as a whole. Was it important to preserve that more uncomfortable side of the experience in the final tracklist?
Morgin Madison: I think so. There are some other spots on the album like ‘Nothing To Lose’, ‘Arrival’ or ‘Control’ that have a more unhinged energy to them as well. I think it’s healthy for a project as big as an album to preserve those moments that feel “a bit much.” Albums are supposed to be a complete representation of an artist, so it’s good to keep those moments.

EG: Your previous album, ‘Odyssey’, explored progressive house, trance and atmospheric electronic music across a 16-track journey. Looking at both records, what do you feel has changed most in your musical identity between those two chapters?
Morgin Madison: That’s a good question! I think ‘Odyssey’ is probably a more consistent body of work, whereas ‘Another Eden’ just does whatever it wants. The former is smooth and ethereal, and the latter is more vibrant, beautiful, and a bit unhinged. When I was making ‘Odyssey,’ I was doing a ton of gigs all the time, and I think the songs are more informed by that. ‘Another Eden’ is more about making the music I love with no rules at all.
EG: With ‘Another Eden’, you seem to be less concerned with returning to a familiar version of yourself than with discovering what comes next. Now that the album is complete, what has this process taught you about the kind of artist you want to be moving forward?
Morgin Madison: I want to do things I was scared to do before. It was so fulfilling making this album and genuinely surprising myself with the ideas. Every day it was like “I wonder what the hell I’m gonna come up with today!” Next year will be 10 years since I launched this project, which is hard to believe. I want to just say yes to everything and see what comes out.
EG: Thank you so much for your time, Morgin. We wish you all the best with ‘Another Eden’ and everything ahead. Take care!
Morgin Madison: Thanks so much for having me! I hope everybody enjoys this album as much as I loved making it.
