HNTR – Victory [Truesoul]

Toronto’s brightest star HNTR debuts on Adam Beyer’s DCX series, Drumcode’s mix/sample-focussed annexe, with high-energy yet melodic single ‘Victory’.

No stranger to viral hits and sky-high stream stats, the winner of the first Juno Award (Underground Dance Music) nabbed millions of streams & a Beatport #1 with 2024’s ‘Yes B!tch’ collab track, and then 15M Tik Tok views with his killer remix of Cloone’s ‘Stephanie’. Still rooted in the underground scene, the No Neon label boss is now an iconic global name with his unique take on rap/techno/house. ‘Victory’ comes hot on the heels of ‘Hypnotic’ his recent collaboration with Adam Beyer that features on the Drumcode head honcho’s ‘Explorer Vol.1’ album.

‘Victory’: HNTR’S version of Celtic electronic musician/songwriter Enya’s beloved and much-mixed ‘hummed’ composition ‘Boadicea’ ups the speed and darkens the tone for a more sinister, gothic feel, with rattling techno, big builds and drops, growly stabs and industrial FX. The recreated, deeper vocal weaves through the track, pausing and pulsating, to be showcased in the biggest breakdown.
