‘Hyped’ is more than just another club track. It marks the launch of Radiate, the new label from Belgian DJ and producer Maxi Meraki. For Meraki, this is not just an outlet for music but the start of a culture built on connection, energy and shared moments on the dancefloor.
The track itself has been a secret weapon for almost a year. Meraki has been road testing it across clubs and festivals, with heavyweight support already in place from Solomun, Blond:ish, LP Giobbi, Francis Mercier, Jamie Jones and Camelphat. That kind of backing says a lot about how universally it lands.
‘Hyped’ thrives on tension and release. A pulsing bassline sets the groove in motion, while sharp percussion and shifting layers build pressure throughout the arrangement. The vocal sample slices through the mix, bringing a human edge to an otherwise hypnotic structure. Nothing is overcomplicated. Every sound is placed with intent, giving DJs a weapon that will slot seamlessly into peak time sets.
For Meraki, it is also a statement of where he is as an artist. His entry into the melodic house scene in 2019 may have felt fast, but the climb has been steady and deliberate. Tracks like ‘Dare Your Move’, ‘If You Need It’ and ‘Nothing On Me’ have already cemented his reputation, with remixes for Rüfüs Du Sol and Mahmut Orhan further expanding his reach. That catalogue has made him one of the most talked about names in house music over the last five years, and Radiate is a natural extension of his evolution.
Launching a label with your own cut is always a bold move, but Meraki has the track record and the momentum to back it up. With ‘Hyped’ setting the tone, Radiate is shaping up to be more than a label. It is a vision of what club music can mean when it is built around community and energy.
