DAVID FORBES DELIVERS HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED TECH TRANCE REMIX OF KEY4050'S "CISZA" VIA DREAMSTATE RECORDS

The Scottish trance maven steps up with a special rework for Key4050, rehashing their previous Dreamstate anthem as a high-octane, acid-fueled tech track.

UK’s beloved trance aficionado David Forbes returns to Dreamstate Records

on October 24th to apply his highly sought-after remix treatment to Key4050’s

previous single, “Cisza.” Originally released in 2022 by the joint project between John O’Callaghan and Bryan Kearney, the tech trance track receives a proper peak-time update with the Scottish sensation at the helm.

Acclaimed for his ability to toe the line between trance and techno, David Forbes once again reaches the optimal midpoint via his rework of “Cisza.” His version leans harder into what was already heavy, thumping tech territory, accelerating the pulse-pounding drive through high BPM insanity. Lighting-fast rolling basslines and thunderous kicks thrust the piece ever-forward, as dizzying synth lashes and volatile acid licks hit with frenetic force. There’s a moment of respite offered in his luminous breakdown dials, which polishes up the original otherworldly arpeggiated melodic lead before blitzing back towards the apex of Forbes’ relentless remix.

David Forbes conveys his appreciation for the original single by saying, “What a pleasure remixing this Key4050 track for Dreamstate.”

“Cisza” was released as the official 'Dreamstate Europe' festival anthem in 2022 by Key4050. The euphoric party-starter made the rounds, earning radio and live support from a slew of tastemakers including Armin van Buuren, Andrew Rayel, Jordan Suckley, Simon Patterson, Mark Sherry, XiJaro & Pitch, and Maarten de Jong.

Born in Glasgow, David Forbes is a Scottish producer who has been a prolific figure in electronic music, exhibiting the level of staying power most artists can only dream of. His nearly three-decade-long catalog is brimming with trance and techno brilliance, while mastering a host of styles and sounds across a seemingly endless list of aliases. Earlier this year, he graced Dreamstate Records with his single “Quantum Valley”—an ode to the Dreamstate-hosted stage at EDC Las Vegas—which secured press coverage from UFO Network, Canadian Ravers, Find Your Sounds, Indie Dream, Beat For Beat, and Perspective. Looking ahead, he has an upcoming gig at Sainte-Catherine Hall (Montreal).

With “Cisza,” David Forbes pays his respects to a modern-classic by lending

Key4050’s anthemic Dreamstate single a rougher and tougher edge.

Its mesmerizing layers create an immersive, cinematic experience, while the pulsing momentum makes it a perfect fit for the dancefloor.

“I wanted to translate the emotion I felt performing at Chambord – that sense of rebirth and creative freedom. ‘Renaissance’ is a track about transformation, about reconnecting with beauty and history while looking forward,” Michael says.

Having captivated audiences during the grand reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris and Paris Saint-Germain’s French Championship title celebration, Michael proves once again his unique ability to move a crowd – a talent that ‘Renaissance’ only amplifies.

MANDIDEXTROUS REUNITES WITH SAMURAI BREAKS AND LEANNE LOUISE FOR “RAVERS ANONYMOUS” VIA SPEEDBASS RECORDINGS!

At the break of dawn, when the night is just a memory and the thought of Sunday lunch looms, “Ravers Anonymous” transforms lingering post-party fatigue into a refined rave euphoria. Featuring the iconic vocal talents of Leanne Louise, this track merges Samurai Breaks’ masterful drum programming with Mandidextrous’ signature 4x4 flow, crafting a sonic experience that captures the essence of the underground scene.

Recorded in M’s Bristol studio, this collaboration is a seamless follow-up to the duo’s previous joint release “Phonecall Riddim”, blending two distinctive and prolific styles into one cohesive anthem. With both artists having graced prestigious stages this summer from Glastonbury’s Temple to Boomtown’s Spectrum 360 (curated by Mandi), and tours across Australia, the anticipation for this release is palpable.

Landing back on Speedbass Recordings, a label and movement founded by Mandidextrous themselves that relaunched earlier this year, the Speedbass genre was born from M’s desire to reinvent themselves creatively by blending elements of bassline, bass music, and drum & bass into a high-octane 4x4 format. Initially finding their calling at free parties, it follows M’s first venture AMEN4TEKNO which became the leading UK label for raggatek, hardtek, and jungletek.

Speedbass represents a bold new chapter as a genre, a label, and a cultural phenomenon that opens up space for innovation, inclusivity, and next-level rave energy. Carving their own lane, Mandidextrous champions freedom of expression, big sounds, and bigger love that has landed them shows across the globe. Kicking off with their own UK tour in partnership with Teletech, as well as joining Teletech for their upcoming Berlin takeover they are also set to play at WHP Presents for Nia Archives’ Up Ya Archives, and present their own Spectrum 360 takeover at The Underground in Bristol, anticipating a sell out event.

Also on the horizon, Mandidextrous leans into their early inspiration for D&B alongside Matt Scratch with a 10 track D&B album ‘Nobody Plays the Second Drop Anyway’ forthcoming on the infamous label Neuroheadz. Written by themselves and Matt Scratch, the album will also drop alongside an entertaining mini documentary over the coming months. 

Not only celebrated for breaking musical boundaries but also for championing equality and inclusion, M is a fierce champion of queer visibility, trans rights, and inclusive spaces, and their voice resonates far beyond the music. By using their platform to celebrate diversity and spark meaningful dialogue, Mandidextrous continues to empower communities and inspire the next wave of boundary-pushing artists and ravers.

Now fueled and ready for club season, “Ravers Anonymous” is more than just a track, it’s the definitive antidote for every dedicated raver. Proudly presented on Mandidextrous’ own Speedbass Recordings, expect to see huge crowd reactions to roll in across the dancefloor.
