Festival season never really ends when the right record drops. Free My Soul is one of those tracks that feels built for the moment the lights hit and the crowd goes with it. Vini Vici team up with Space 92 and CERES for a high-energy trance record that mixes rolling psytrance drive, hard techno punch, and a vocal that cuts through the mix. It already picked up Future Favorite status on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance, which tells you the floors it was made for.
The track came out of a creative session in SĆ£o Paulo. That detail matters. Three different worlds sat in the same room and refused to stay in their lanes. Vini Vici bring the rolling, hypnotic psytrance they have been flying the flag for since they broke out of the underground. Space 92 adds the relentless techno weight and peak-time pressure. CERES supplies the distinctive vocal identity that turns a big instrumental into something that actually sings on a main stage. The result sits in that Big Room trance space without losing the psychedelic edge that made Vini Vici’s name.
If you only know the duo from “Great Spirit” or their Tomorrowland and Ultra sets, this still sounds like them. Aviram Saharai and Matan Kadosh, the Afula natives behind Vini Vici, spent years pushing psytrance onto stages that used to treat it as a side room. They were the first psytrance act on the main stages at Tomorrowland and Ultra, they played Lollapalooza, and they kept showing up on Beatport’s best-seller lists. They launched Alteza Records, hosted their own stage at Tomorrowland, and climbed the DJ Mag poll. The bio they sent still holds: they came, they saw, and they keep showing up with records that work both in the club and on the biggest fields.
Free My Soul does not try to reinvent their sound so much as stretch it. The production is festival-ready without sounding generic. You get the drive, the lift, and the kind of drop that DJs can slam at 2 a.m. or in the late afternoon sun. The vocal gives it a human hook that a lot of peak-time trance still skips. It is the kind of collab that makes sense on paper and then actually works when you hear it loud.
Trance and psytrance have been crossing into bigger rooms for years now. Artists keep looking for that middle ground between underground texture and main-stage impact. This one lands right in that pocket. It is not trying to be subtle. It is trying to free the floor.
