Brina Knauss returns to her own imprint EMPATH with Take Me Higher, a three-track EP that leans further into the emotional, vocal-led space she’s been shaping across her recent sets.
The release lands amidst a strong run of international dates throughout 2026 – a period that continues to see her perform across some of the most respected clubs and festivals in electronic music. With upcoming appearances at Horse Park Festival in Zurich, Lofi Amsterdam, Akumandra Festival in New York, Audioriver Festival in Poland and Tomorrowland Belgium, alongside key Ibiza dates at Ushuaïa, UNVRS, Resistance at Amnesia and Hï Ibiza, Brina is moving through some of the most influential platforms in the global circuit right now – and Take Me Higher reflects that momentum.
Opening track “No Sacrifice” sets the tone: driving, hypnotic and restrained, with a slow-build tension that mirrors her longer-form DJ sets. Brina’s own voice has become an increasingly recognisable element of her productions and on this EP that personal touch returns on “No Sacrifice”, where her vocals blend seamlessly with the track’s hypnotic groove and emotional atmosphere.
“Dreams” shifts into a more introspective space, weaving softer melodic elements into a steady, rolling groove suited to late-night or open-air moments.
The title track “Take Me Higher” closes on a more direct note – bigger, more euphoric, and clearly built for peak-time floors, while still holding onto the emotional core that runs throughout the EP.
Released via EMPATH – the label she launched as a home for her more personal output – the project feels closely tied to how she’s playing right now: melodic, vocal-driven, and designed with the dancefloor in mind.
With momentum building across both her touring schedule and production output, Take Me Higher arrives as a natural extension of where Brina is at in 2026 – connecting her studio work directly to some of the biggest stages in electronic music.
