R3HAB and Skytech’s “Hypnotising” Is a Dance Anthem Built for the Mainstage

When two seasoned producers like R3HAB and Skytech join forces, the result is bound to be something special, and their latest collaboration, “Hypnotising,” is no exception. Released on Martin Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS, the track blends all the hallmarks of a festival banger while showcasing the long-standing chemistry between the two artists. For fans of big-room sounds and euphoric drops, “Hypnotising” is set to be a staple in DJ sets for the foreseeable future.

This marks R3HAB’s debut on Garrix’s iconic label, a significant milestone for the multi-platinum producer whose career has spanned over a decade. For Skytech, it’s a triumphant return after the success of his 2024 single “Feelings (That I Can’t Deny).” Together, they’ve delivered a track that brings the energy, infectious melodies, and massive basslines that are essential for any mainstage festival anthem.

The track kicks off with atmospheric, almost ethereal vocals, immediately setting a tone of anticipation. As the bassline builds, it delivers that signature four-on-the-floor rhythm that makes “Hypnotising” impossible to ignore once it hits the dance floor. The drop comes like a sonic wave, sweeping listeners into a frenzy—something R3HAB and Skytech have mastered through years of working together. If you’ve caught their live shows, you’ve likely already heard the crowd’s overwhelmingly positive response to this track, which had already made its rounds in festival sets before its official release. It’s clear that this one was destined for greatness even before its official arrival.

The song’s main strength lies in the balance between the organic energy of its vocal lines and the mechanical, pounding energy of its production. As the track progresses, you can feel the synergy that R3HAB and Skytech share as collaborators. From their early work like “Tiger” and “Fuego” to “Run Free (Countdown)” with Tiësto, it’s evident that the duo has an unspoken understanding when it comes to crafting tracks that resonate with dance music fans worldwide.

Martin Garrix’s involvement in the project further elevates “Hypnotising.” As an early supporter, Garrix not only played the track extensively during his festival performances but also made it a centerpiece of his sets. It’s no surprise that he wanted to add it to his STMPD roster. The signing feels like a natural fit, considering Garrix’s reputation for spotting club anthems with immense crossover potential. Both Garrix and the collaborators have been playing the track at major festivals since late 2023, allowing fans to develop an attachment to it long before its official release.

While the track has already gained widespread love from festival crowds, its official release guarantees that “Hypnotising” will maintain its strong presence on the airwaves and dominate DJ sets for months to come. The song is a perfect blend of energy and accessibility, a reflection of the evolution of dance music. It taps into a tried-and-true formula of euphoric melodies, driving bass, and a drop that’s big enough to fill arenas and clubs alike. It’s no wonder the track is already becoming one of R3HAB’s most-requested IDs.

This release also shines a light on R3HAB’s enduring influence in the dance music scene. With over 12 billion streams to his name and countless collaborations with household names like Ava Max, ZAYN, and Tiësto, R3HAB has cemented himself as a key figure in electronic music. His label, CYB3RPVNK, continues to pump out hits, while his global tours keep him at the forefront of the genre. For Skytech, the track continues his steady rise as one of Poland’s most exciting producers, with the support of heavyweights like Armin van Buuren and David Guetta pushing his sound to new heights.
