From the heart of Hoensbroek, Netherlands, DJ Aquana returns with a powerful new original single “Open My Eyes”released on May 22, 2025. Following the success of his 2023 comeback track “The Ghost Story” this latest offering is a vibrant continuation of his artistic rebirth, an emotional and sonically rich journey that positions him firmly among EDM’s rising voices.
“Open My Eyes” is a dazzling fusion of big room intensity and trance inspired emotion. Built on a nostalgic framework that nods to the golden era of 90s rave culture, the track balances retro sensibilities with forward thinking production. From the opening notes, a hypnotic soaring synth melody pulls listeners into its orbit. It’s a slow burn, shimmering arpeggios build patiently before the drop crashes in with punchy basslines and razor sharp percussion, engineered to ignite any dancefloor or festival stage.
What makes this release so compelling is its emotional depth. While it delivers the high octane energy expected from big room EDM, there’s a layer of introspection woven through the soaring leads and lush textures. DJ Aquana describes the track as “trancy big room” and that’s exactly what it feels like, music made for movement but also for memory.
Aquana’s story adds weight to the music. Having first made waves in the 90s, his return to the scene is more than just a nostalgic trip, it’s a personal renaissance. Now working from his home studio and using classic analog synths, he’s channeling years of experience, passion, and perspective into tracks that feel both timeless and timely.
Already making waves on streaming platforms, “Open My Eyes” is a standout release in a year where big room is making a quiet but steady resurgence. With upcoming performances at Tentfeesten’s Silent Disco Stage and the 10am Festival, DJ Aquana is building more than just a discography, he’s building a movement.
In his own words: “Life is too short to be sour.” With “Open My Eyes” DJ Aquana delivers the kind of life affirming, euphoric energy the world could use a little more of right now.
