HAUK UNLEASHES MYTHOPOESIS EP

Out Now via HypnoVizion

Rising Russian producer HAUK is joining the label with his new  three-track MYTHOPOESIS EP out now via HypnoVizion. 

Blending the intensity of Slavic mythology with the precision and depth of dark production, MYTHOPOESIS is a kinetic debut from HAUK. Across the three tracks, HAUK navigates between ritualistic tension and hypnotic grooves, creating a listening experience that is immersive, primal, and meticulously crafted. The EP channels a strong sense of atmosphere and cultural storytelling, introducing HAUK as a bold new voice in electronic music with a distinctive sound.

“These works were inspired by Rezz and Slavic mythology. Rezz began writing at the time of my apathy towards electronic music, I lost hope that electronic music from Russians is of no use to anyone, but when Rezz began releasing music, I felt proud of my work and began to write more diligently, to be more inspired by the history of my native land and mythology.” – HAUK

MYTHOPOSESIS EP Tracklist
1. On The Buyan Island
2. LIHO 
3. BLOOD RITUAL

HAUK is an emerging Russian producer whose work bridges traditional folklore with contemporary electronic sound design. Winner of a Russian World Music Award in 2022, HAUK has established himself as a leading sound in Russia’s music scene. MYTHOPOESIS serves as HAUK’s first release on HypnoVizion.

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.

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.
