Hey dance music fam! Imagine hitting the mainstage at sunset, the bass is rumbling, the crowd is one giant smile, and a track drops that somehow feels like classic Anjunabeats trance, modern melodic bass, AND those feel-good hardstyle kicks all rolled into one massive moment. That’s exactly what happened the second I pressed play on “Fast Forward” – the brand-new collab between Jason Ross, Horyzon, Camden Cox, and TW3LVE. If you’ve been craving that perfect blend of progressive house euphoria and happy rave energy, stop scrolling… this is your new favorite song.
Released on Lost In Dreams Records (the Insomniac imprint that’s been killing it with melodic bass and future rave vibes lately), “Fast Forward” is pure festival fuel. The track kicks off with those shimmering, emotive synths Jason Ross fans know and love from his Anjunabeats days, then Camden Cox’s crystal-clear vocals float in like a warm summer breeze. Her topline is catchy without trying too hard – it’s the kind of hook you’ll be humming on the drive home from the rave. Just when you think it’s staying in progressive house territory, Horyzon and TW3LVE flip the switch: the drop slams into this glorious happy hardstyle section with punchy kicks, supersaw stabs, and just enough grit to make the hair on your arms stand up. It’s emotional, it’s energetic, and it somehow never feels over-the-top. Production-wise, everything is crisp – the mix is wide open, the low-end hits hard but clean, and those little melodic details keep pulling you back for another listen.
Jason Ross has always been the guy who refuses to stay in one lane. He started as one of Anjunabeats’ brightest trance talents (remember “Rooms” or “Cairo”?), then leveled up with Seven Lions on monster melodic bass tunes like “Higher Love” and “Ocean.” Lately he’s been exploring even broader territory – teaming up with Gryffin, Blanke, and now bringing in rising names like Horyzon and TW3LVE. Pairing that versatility with Camden Cox’s powerhouse vocals (you probably know her from hits with Gorgon City or Sonny Fodera) feels like a match made in dance music heaven. The result? A track that fits perfectly on Lost In Dreams alongside artists like Kaivon, William Black, or Jason’s own recent singles, while still pushing the genre forward.
We’re in the middle of this beautiful wave where melodic bass, future rave, and happy hardstyle influences are colliding more than ever. Festivals like EDC, Tomorrowland, and Dreamstate are booking bigger multi-genre lineups, and fans are eating up tracks that give you both the hands-in-the-air trance feels and the raw energy of harder styles. “Fast Forward” slides right into that sweet spot – it’s emotional enough for a sunset set but rowdy enough to close out the night. If you loved Jason’s “Wild One” or Seven Lions x Jason Ross collabs, you’re going to be obsessed with this one.
Honestly, I’ve had “Fast Forward” on repeat all week. It’s the kind of song that instantly lifts your mood and makes you want to text your rave crew “yo, new heat just dropped.” Camden’s vocal performance is stunning, the drop hits like a freight train of happiness, and the whole thing just screams mainstage magic.
