January 12, 2024 By Chad Downs

In the dynamic world of electronic dance music, David Stefanowicz, known as hypernaut, stands out with his latest track, “promise”. This piece represents both a new entry in his discography and is a culmination of a decade-long journey through varied musical landscapes.

Stefanowicz’s musical odyssey began in the realms of indie rock and pop punk, genres that gave him a robust foundation in melody and rhythm. His shift towards electronic music, however, marks a significant pivot in his artistic trajectory. The transformation was sparked by his exposure to Sammy Virji’s DJ Mag set in August 2023, which drew him into the depths of UK Garage, Bassline, and UK Bass. These influences are palpably felt in “promise”, a track that seamlessly blends Bass House, Tech House, and UK Garage, set to an invigorating tempo of 135BPM.

The track emerged from Stefanowicz’s exploration in Ableton. Its positive reception among fellow musicians underscored its potential impact in the greater electronic scene. This led to Stefanowicz’s bold move to submit “promise” to the 2023 EDC Orlando Discovery Project. His selection as the winner by Dillion Francis and the Insomniac team was huge and he knew that his direction as an artist was on point and he was on the right path.

Stefanowicz’s evolution into hypernaut is a narrative of artistic persistence and adaptation. With over 3 million Spotify streams and a history with the electronic dance music trio Faethoms, his journey reflects a constant search for new sonic territories. His experience in supporting acts like Robin Shulz and Dash Berlin, along with his successful collaborations and remixes, showcase his versatility and commitment to his craft.

“Promise” showcases hypernaut’s visionary approach in electronic dance music. It symbolizes not just his artistic evolution but also the boundless possibilities that lie ahead in his musical journey.
