The Scottish producer channels the energy of the Dreamstate-hosted stage at EDC Las Vegas via his newest techno-trance hybrid single.
Scottish powerhouse David Forbes makes his third appearance on Dreamstate Records on September 12th with his newest single, “Quantum Valley,”
inspired by his experience performing at Electric Daisy Carnival.

goosebump-inducing narration sits at the heart of the breakdown, speaking poetically about the power of quantumVALLEY amid riveting rising arps. The beauty is juxtaposed expertly by the booming, unwavering drive featured on opposite ends of the track. Thunderous kicks, frenetic synth leads, and wailing synth flashes are layered in such a way to get the adrenaline rushing.

performance at EDC, David Forbes points to the reason he wrote the single, saying, “There're some festivals where you need to write a track dedicated to it; EDC Las Vegas was one of them.”
