Urgent. Exacting. Incendiary. Like a cyclone barreling down out of the blue, "Nighthawks" is a predatory tune impossible to ignore. Its creator, Leo Reyes, shows himself early in 2018 with a single sure to dominate nightclubs and music festivals. Leo Reyes' "Nighthawks" (inHarmony Music) is out now.

A thunderous synthesizer lays the groundwork on the Original Edit of "Nighthawks," signaling a vicious musical journey ahead. The memorable chord progression mimics an elemental call-and-response, forming an enthusiastic melody that pierces the air. Label chief and mainstage DJ/producer, Andrew Rayel, has been playing "Nighthawks" out in his live sets for the past several months, and each time, the crowds erupt in affirmation. The Extended Mix leaves a bit more on the intro and outro, resulting in a track of nearly a minute-and-a-half longer. This version is perfect for ambitious club DJs who want to play it out in their sets. In either version, "Nighthawks" succeeds in melding the best of trance, serving up a soundscape with dynamic dimension. No matter where the listener may fall on the electronic music spectrum, it's safe to say that the song's poignant lead melody will remain in listeners' minds long after it's heard.

Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, Leo Reyes has taken cues from such trance and progressive-house music heavyweights as Eric Prydz, Deadmau5, Markus Schulz and The Chemical Brothers. Reyes' three-song EP, Wide Open, was released in 2016 on Abstractive Music. The title track of that EP had enjoyed support from Armin van Buuren's 'A State Of Trance' (ASOT) radio show two years earlier, paving the way for Reyes to make his mark on the dance music scene. With Reyes' 2018 release arriving by way of trance icon Andrew Rayel's record label, inHarmony Music, the former's immediate future in electronic dance music shows great promise.

Launched in September, 2017, inHarmony Music is the record label headed by Andrew Rayel and distributed by Armada Music. As label chief and head of A&R for inHarmony Music, Rayel is the key decision-maker when it comes to signing new artists and music. Fulfilling a lifelong dream while on his never-ending career quest, Rayel is now able to do for new artists what Armin van Buuren did for Rayel years ago. The circle is complete and there will be an abundant supply of lovingly curated new music ahead.
