The Dutch producers tap into the universal urge to break free in "Gravity," a rush of vintage progressive house that feels like a slow, euphoric ascent into the clouds.

Just like Martin Garrix's many soaring dance anthems of yesteryear, his latest, "Gravity," transports listeners to a place where weight doesn't exist.

Out now under Garrix's own STMPD RCRDS banner, the track was produced with Sem Vox and features a powerful vocal performance from Jaimes. Fans of Garrix will remember the Rotterdam-based singer-songwriter from his stellar work on "Empty," a collaboration with DubVision that appeared on the duo's debut album Another World, which released on STMPD back in July.

The Dutch producers have delivered a surefire festival hit that feels both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new, a vintage progressive house anthem for those who long to let go of their burdens. Jaimes' escapist lyrics evoke a desire for self-discovery as he belts, "What if I could let go? / Both feet off the ground / What if there's a place / Where all my troubles can't be found?"

Meanwhile, the euphoric energy of Garrix's and Vox's production rises gradually like a sunrise over the horizon, sparking the sense of freedom that comes with the idea of breaking away from the weight of the world. The synths swell, carrying us higher through a tense build, and when the drop eventually hits, it's like stepping off a cliff—weightless yet electrified with possibility.
