Rising up in 2025!

This end-of-winter track perfectly encapsulates the conclusion of harsh cold weather and brings the vibrant energy of spring growth into the air. Enlisting the help of vocalist Brieanna Grace, this single creates deep cinematic builds similar to Tiësto’s. Slowing it down with soft interludes, Grace’s smoky voice raspily sings dark, ominous lyrics about self-preservation and hardships. Rising from the water like a phoenix from the ashes, these courageous lyrics further enhance the build of the song.

In true trance fashion, the horns eerily sound as the track builds around the three-minute mark. Grace murmurs, “Out of the Water,” and the beat kicks in, allowing one to feel the dance floor jumping beneath their feet. Raging on, you can almost see the smoke machines blasting into the crowd and confetti being shot into the air. “ No matter how much it breaks me, life will get harder, but I’ll rise up out of the water now,” Grace fiercely bellows as the track nears its final blow. Standing for perseverance and resilience, ” Out of the Water ” is about never giving up and pushing onward even when the path becomes bumpy. A metaphor for life in general, this track is sure to become a trance anthem this coming summer.

They performed two sets on the Groove Cruise last month- one on the pool deck and the other on Labadee Island– cementing their position in the industry. Nilsen and Sixma are truly establishing themselves as the energetic duo known as Nilsix.
