‘Mind Games’ sets the tone of what’s to come from both artists in 2026

This will be the second release of 2026 for KELTEK, who needs no introduction. After his successful remake of the K-Pop hit ‘Jump’ and his first work ever with Act of Rage & LePrince, he has surprised the scene with this collaboration with an upcoming artist that is already causing a stir with his latest releases: DÂVINØ.

For DÂVINØ, working with an artist like KELTEK is a milestone moment early in his career. “KELTEK has always been a true legend to me and a big inspiration in my own creative journey,” he shares. “After I sent him a few of my tracks and shared the concept behind this one, we decided to take it into the studio together. Bringing together KELTEK’s extensive experience and my perspective as part of a new generation made the collaboration feel very natural.”

KELTEK felt that same connection from the start. “I really liked what DÂVINØ was sending me. There was something fresh in his sound and the idea behind Mind Games stood out to me straight away,” he explains. “When we started talking more about the concept it felt like a good moment to join forces in the studio. What I liked most was that it did not feel forced at all. We came from different stages in our journey but musically it connected very naturally.”

That difference in experience also played a big role during the creative process. “It was not just about the studio process, but also about life experience,” DÂVINØ explains. “KELTEK has been through a lot, both personally and professionally, and that gave extra depth to the theme of Mind Games. It’s something everyone can relate to, dealing with your own thoughts and difficult moments. At the same time, I think I brought a fresh creative energy, and we really pushed each other to try new things.”

KELTEK adds: “I think experience shapes the way you approach both music and life and that was something we could really feel while working on this track. The theme of Mind Games is quite heavy and emotional so it helped that we could bring different perspectives into it. From my side I could bring a certain depth and a broader view from everything I have lived through over the years. DÂVINØ brought a fresh mindset and a new creative drive that pushed the process forward in a really inspiring way.”

For the young producer, this collaboration is more than just another release. “Growing up, KELTEK was one of the artists I truly looked up to,” he says. “To now work with him at this stage of my career is very special. I’ve learned a lot from him, especially the importance of staying patient and continuing to push forward, even when things don’t go the way you want immediately. That mindset, never giving up, is one of the most valuable lessons I take from this.”

‘Mind Games’ by KELTEK & DÂVINØ is out now on all streaming platforms and available at Hardstyle.com store.
