Hatiras Returns with “Hypnotized”—A Club Anthem Reborn

Toronto’s own rhythmic wizard, Hatiras, has reclaimed his old-school rave roots with a powerful new single, “Hypnotized,” released on Toolroom Records. The track channels the energy and drive that made his early world-famous smash, Spaced Invader, such a dancefloor favorite—and puts it into modern focus.

Originally known for soundtracking the North American rave scene, Hatiras first broke through with Spaced Invaderaround the millennium. Now, he’s back with a track built for sweaty, packed dance floors—driven, relentless, and again stirring the crowd into unified motion.

“Hypnotized” isn’t just a studio track—it’s been quietly storming stages. DJs are already treating it as a secret weapon, dropping it into their sets to instantly shift energy and mood.

From Nostalgia to Now

The journey of “Hypnotized” is a creative echo of Spaced Invader—the sweeping builds, elevated synths, and an endless rush that defines peak-time energy. Yet, this time around, Hatiras blends that nostalgic template with modern techno vibes, creating something both familiar and fresh.

In a recent chat, Hatiras revealed how the track came to life: it began with a gritty, weighty bassline and pounding drums. An accidental flanger effect on a riser evolved into a subtly gritty growl that gives the track its hypnotic edge. The real moment of validation? A packed test party in Hamilton—when the crowd locked into the groove, he knew he had something special.

A Global Stamp of Approval

“Hypnotized” quickly became one of the most-played tracks at Tomorrowland 2025, solidifying its presence on one of dance music’s biggest global stages. The tune’s blend of house and techno resonated powerfully with both DJs and festival crowds.

With over 500 releases and five artist albums under his belt across a wide range of labels—from Defected to Toolroom to Dirtybird—Hatiras continues to prove his staying power. “Hypnotized” is not just another release—it’s a statement from an artist still deeply tuned to the pulse of club culture.

Why Hypnotized Hits Different

• Raw energy meets emotional build: The arrangement forces attention while energizing crowds.

• Tech-house intensity, rave-era soul: Bridging two eras smooths nostalgia with relevance.

• Proven resonance: Early DJ spins and festival data underline its impact.

The Big Picture

“Hypnotized” is a reminder that quality club music isn’t bound by time. Hatiras is revisiting his roots while staying aligned with today’s sound. It’s a bold move—and it lands perfectly. For those tuning in to HouseNationRadio.fm, expect this track to feature heavily in upcoming sets, guest mixes, and spotlight features.
