Dutch Producer Allen Watts Returns Under His AWaken Alias For His Sophomore Single “ENERGIZE” on Dreamstate Records
Allen Watts emerged on the trance scene in 2012, bringing a sound deeply rooted in the classics he grew up with, from System F to Paul Van Dyk. Though his talent had been developing quietly for years, he made a striking debut with “What May Come” on Richard Durand’s Terminal 4 label, followed by “Split Second,” which was championed by Armin van Buuren and quickly elevated him to prominence on European dance floors. Drawing early inspiration from producers like Dave202 and The Thrillseekers, Watts developed a signature style that blends uplifting, cinematic melodies with energetic, driving rhythms, setting the stage for his enduring presence in the genre.
Watts’ DJ performances are as immersive as his productions, taking audiences on ethereal journeys through trance without relying on flashy tricks or gimmicks. Touring globally—from London to Los Angeles, Mexico to Thailand—he has refined a sound that balances raw emotional intensity with melodic precision. Despite the ever-changing landscape of electronic music, Allen continues to deliver extraordinary sets and releases, cementing his status as a melodic mastermind at the peak of his career and a consistent innovator in modern trance.
“Energize your soul with colour, your canvas with courage, and your art with the pulse of your passion.”
Allen Watts returns to Dreamstate Records under his AWaken alias with his sophomore single, “Energize,” set for release on August 15th. Designed as a peak-time festival and club track, “Energize” delivers relentless energy with thunderous kicks, frenzied synth rolls, glitching vocal loops, and sharp mechanized stabs, balanced by a soaring, uplifting breakdown. The track exemplifies Watts’ talent for creating high-voltage trance that engages crowds and elevates the emotional intensity of any set.
Following last year’s label debut “Subjekt,” “Energize” marks his third overall release on Dreamstate Records, after his main moniker track “Pressure” earned support from tastemakers including Andrew Rayel, Nifra, Paul Steiner, Henry Moe, and Dada Life. With this release, Watts continues to showcase his versatility and mastery of melodic, high-energy trance, solidifying his reputation as a producer capable of thrilling both festival audiences and intimate club-goers alike.
