• Third collab between Ryos and KSHMR, now joined by nilsix
• Haley May’s vocal lifts the track beautifully
• Trance foundation with a progressive edge
Four mega producers coming together for a trance track? That’s already a headline. “Radiate” marks the third collaboration between Ryos and KSHMR, this time with the addition of nilsix and the voice of Haley May. The result feels like the one that really clicks.
I’ve always thought Ryos is criminally underrated, very much like KSHMR before he blew up. The guy has melodies for days, and when talent recognizes talent, you end up with collaborations that go beyond the usual big room formula. Their first big moment was “The Chant”, an underground gem with one of the best melodies of 2025. Then came Ryos’ remix of “Wild Ride”, which gave an old-school KSHMR lead a prog twist and made it shine all over again. So, how’s the third chapter in this saga?
Trance, and it works. The fingerprints of Orjan Nilsen and Mark Sixma are easy to spot here, since nilsix is their joint project. The structure and energy feel very much in their lane, and it adds a different layer to what KSHMR and Ryos usually bring. Haley May’s vocal is a huge win too, soaring over the mix without overpowering it.
I’ll admit, I didn’t hear as much KSHMR identity as I expected, probably because nilsix drove the structure harder than anyone else. But that’s not a bad thing. The final drop leans into progressive, with Ryos’ melodic strength shining through, and it ties the whole thing together in a way that feels satisfying.
“Radiate” is proof these guys can switch lanes and still deliver. A sweet trance track, bold in its mix of influences, and a collaboration that feels more complete than their previous ones. I’ll be keeping this one on repeat.
