Darude and Mashd N Kutcher Collide on High-Energy New Single ‘HYPE’ – Out Now on Vibing Out!
The dance project of Mashd N Kutcher has built its reputation on high-energy, genre-blurring production and a consistently chaotic, uplifting live show experience. Since launching in 2012, the act has taken that sound to a global scale, performing more than 1,500 shows across Australia, Asia, Europe, India and the United States. Along the way, they’ve picked up multiple platinum records and landed a #12 placement in the Triple J Hottest 100, cementing their place as one of Australia’s most recognizable electronic exports with a sound designed for maximum crowd impact.
“HYPE” also took on a major life of its own within Darude STORM 25 World Tour, where it served as the closing moment night after night across more than sixty cities and five continents. Each performance turned the track into a shared celebration, with Darude stepping offstage and into the crowd to dance directly with fans as the final notes played, reinforcing the track’s role as a communal, memory-making anthem. The release also marks a new chapter for Vibing Out, Darude’s forward-facing label initiative focused on championing innovative electronic music and building a stronger artist-driven community. With that momentum already building, “HYPE” is positioned to become a staple across clubs and festival stages worldwide heading into the summer season.
“I hope listeners let go of any negativity and feel energized by the music. Let’s come together to dance and get hyped!” – Darude
“After meeting Darude on tour in Australia, he sent me over some stems to work on,I really wanted to make a record that was something ‘HYPE’ for both of our shows, safe to say this is what we have!” – Mashd N Kutcher
“HYPE” is exactly what its title promises: a massive rush of rave energy built for festival crowds and packed dancefloors. Finnish electronic icon Darude teams up with Australian duo Mashd N Kutcher for a track that blends euphoric trance textures with hard-hitting modern club production. Punchy drums, bright house piano melodies and explosive drops give the song a huge sense of momentum, while the duo’s playful rap topline and chaotic energy push it into full party anthem territory.
The collaboration feels like a perfect clash of styles. Darude lays the emotional and melodic foundation, while Mashd N Kutcher inject influences from UK hard house and Melbourne bounce that make the track feel unpredictable and larger than life. Everything builds toward a soaring trance-inspired breakdown that ties the whole thing together, balancing nostalgia, adrenaline and pure crowd-moving energy in a way that feels tailor-made for late-night festival sets.
