Let's dive into what makes this track tick. Progressive house has this magical way of building tension like a slow-burn thriller, and the Notre Dame remix nails it with seamless transitions that keep you hooked from the first beat. Imagine those rolling basslines that old-school house fans know and love, layered with crisp, evolving synths that push the energy higher (pun totally intended).

Production-wise, it's polished to perfection, with Insomniac Records' signature punch ensuring every element cuts through whether you're blasting it in your headphones or losing it on the dancefloor. No filler here; it's all about that relentless build and euphoric release that leaves you breathless.
Blond:ish has long been a force in the electronic scene, blending her worldly influences into sets and tracks that feel both intimate and massive. Teaming up with Notre Dame and Black Circle for this remix? It's a match made in club heaven. Notre Dame's touch on the remix brings a fresh edge, amplifying the original's spirit with intricate sound design that nods to house's roots while eyeing the future of progressive beats. Black Circle adds that shadowy depth, making "Higher" feel like a collaborative triumph – the sort of track that reminds us why collabs in EDM keep the genre evolving. And let's talk Insomniac Records for a sec: this label's been killing it with high-octane releases that bridge underground vibes and mainstream appeal. Dropping this in late 2025? It's perfectly timed with the resurgence of hybrid house sets at festivals like EDC or Tomorrowland, where progressive and old-school elements are blending into something wildly addictive. If you've been following the EDM trends, you've seen how labels like Insomniac are championing remixes that honor the past while cranking up the volume on innovation – "Higher" fits right into that wave, proving energy is the ultimate currency in dance music right now.
What I love most about tracks like this is how they capture that raw, unfiltered joy of the genre. Progressive house thrives on those hypnotic loops and emotional peaks, and this remix delivers without overcomplicating things. It's accessible for newcomers dipping their toes into house music but layered enough for vets to dissect on repeat. Streaming numbers are already climbing (shoutout to platforms like Spotify and Beatport for making these gems discoverable), and I wouldn't be surprised if it sneaks into a few DJ sets soon. In a year where electronic dance music is leaning harder into feel-good anthems amid all the global chaos, "Higher" feels like a much-needed lift – a reminder that music's power to elevate is stronger than ever.
