Nexxus 604 drops new track “Awakening”

Dance music producer Dmitry Smirnov, operating under the alias Nexxus 604, is an exciting artist in the electronic music scene. With a life journey that spans continents and a creative vision built on both musical and spiritual exploration, his work represents a fusion of artistic passion and personal growth.

Nexxus 604’s artistic adventure began with early musical education and a successful DJ career in Russia. However, it was his spiritual exploration in India that profoundly shaped his worldview and his approach to music. These experiences led him to adopt the moniker Nexxus 604, a nod to Goa, the birthplace of psychedelic trance and his deep connection to the genre.

Relocating to Los Angeles, Nexxus 604 pursued his dreams of making music against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and while balancing financial hurdles, including driving for Uber to support his creative pursuits, Nexxus 604 has been bringing to life his own musical world. In September last year, he released his debut EP, AUM, which he’s since followed up with a string of well-received releases.

Now he brings us his latest work with the new single titled “Awakening,” a track which brings together elements of dubstep, psytrance and progressive electronica, to create a sound that’s at once enveloping and energising. Recorded in his Los Angeles home studio, “Awakening” reflects a delicate balance between high-energy beats and vivid melodic ideas, an intricate contrast between intensity and spacey hypnotic quality across an expansive seven minute ride.

Brought in by the airy textures of drifting synths as buzzy electronic tones rattle around the mix, the energy builds as the percussive elements filter in before bursting into an uptempo psytrance outing. Driven by the relentless pulse of lively synths, punching beats and hazy vocal samples, “Awakening” lays down a thrilling slice of invigorating dance music captured via crisp production and an incredible command of synth arrangement.

Rising in energy throughout, the charge of stabbing synths and smooth ebb and flow creates an engaging soundscape from start to finish that’s sure to win over electronic music fans around the world. Once again showcasing his impressive creativity and exciting sound, Nexxus 604 delivers an epic new track on his prolific musical journey.
