DJ, producer, live act, and Beatport Next artist 8Kays has teamed up with Colombian act Hotmode for a powerful new release titled Subway To Berlin — out now via Radikon. 

A proud citizen of Ukraine, the title behind this most recent track is inspired by her recent move to Berlin, a city she has been forced to relocate to following the Russian invasion of her home country. Brimming with assertive synth lines and humming arpeggios, “Subway To Berlin” sees Hotmode’s gentle vocals swim alongside the driving and wistful track to create a sense of yearning that will leave dance floors hungry for more. The release also comes paired with a stunning remix from Radikon boss Jonas Saalbach, who called on the prolific Serbian artist Coeus to help him create a heavy and scorching interpretation of the tune. Listen below.

When she’s not cooking up new sounds in the studio or playing for enthusiastic crowds throughout Europe, 8Kays has been busy advocating for peace and helping raise funds for food and other essential supplies for those in need who are resisting the Russian onslaught in her home city of Fastiv in Ukraine.
