#26 Feat. Hype in Trance (Main Floor)

Ascent breaks into 2026 with a clairvoyant voyage from Derek Ryan and Jen Wood. Epic and lush, this exploration of emotion emanates love and energy. Weaving delicate harp-like instrumentals and chugging acid together with expansive atmospheres, Looking Into Your Heart has a relentless drive that complements its soaring vocal message, racing towards an melodic conclusion that is absolutely huge. Through it all, Jens vocals guide the way like a supernova in the depths of space, with her signature blend of raw vulnerability, elfin mystery, and emotional strength. Merging a vibe as wide as the world is large with a rhythm section that hits hard, Looking Into Your Heart is infinite in scope and yet extremely up close and personal.
