Slovakian trance titan Nifra returns to Rave Culture with an explosive follow-up to her fan-favorite anthem Youphoria, and she’s not holding back. Her latest single, NRG, is a no-holds-barred Hard Trance weapon clocking in at a fierce 140 bpm—and it absolutely lives up to its name.
Known as the undisputed queen of progressive and trance, Nifra has spent the past decade building an ironclad reputation in the global scene. As the first lady of Coldharbour Recordings and a mainstay on Markus Schulz’s Schulz Music Group roster, her sound has always blended melodic sensibility with raw power. But with NRG, she flips the switch—taking a harder, faster route and delivering something designed to rattle the foundations of the rave.
The track kicks off with a pounding kick and industrial percussion that immediately sets the tone: this is not the kind of trance you float away to—this is the kind you slam into with a strobe light in your face. The buildup is tense, with electrifying synth stabs and relentless energy rising to a euphoric crescendo. Then, right when you think the drop is coming… boom. It hits you like a freight train.
What makes NRG stand out is Nifra’s ability to fuse classic hard trance influences—think early 2000s warehouse anthems—with a modern, clean production style that fits perfectly into today’s high-octane festival sets. There’s a nostalgia in the rhythm and acid-tinged fills, but it’s delivered with a sleek, razor-sharp edge that only Nifra could execute so flawlessly.
Released on Rave Culture, a label known for pushing the boundaries between trance, techno, and big-room energy, NRG feels right at home. It’s a powerful statement from Nifra that she’s not afraid to evolve, experiment, and go harder than ever before.
If Youphoria was the emotional high, NRG is the adrenaline-fueled aftershock. This one will be shaking the walls of clubs and festivals alike all year long.
