UK trance favorite David Forbes returns to Dreamstate Records with a high-energy remix of Key4050’s 2022 single “Cisza.” Originally a collaboration between trance legends John O’Callaghan and Bryan Kearney, the track already made waves as the official Dreamstate Europe 2022 festival anthem. Forbes takes it to the next level, delivering a peak-time rework that pushes the tech trance elements further, with rolling basslines, thunderous kicks, frenetic synths, and volatile acid lines that drive the track’s energy to new heights. Amid the intensity, a luminous breakdown highlights the original’s arpeggiated melodies, offering a brief but breathtaking reprieve before plunging back into the remix’s relentless momentum.
Celebrated for his ability to balance trance and techno seamlessly, Forbes’ remix pays homage to the original while injecting his signature style, making it a must-play for peak-time sets. “Cisza” has previously earned support from trance heavyweights including Armin van Buuren, Andrew Rayel, Jordan Suckley, and Simon Patterson, and Forbes’ version promises to continue the track’s festival legacy, giving fans a fresh and explosive take on a modern trance classic.
