Dreaming of this bass! Hex Cougar delivers an interesting Bass House banger with “Dream of U”
• Beautiful orchestral buildup
• Blends dreaminess with raw energy
• Not a big fan of the vocals in the drop
Hex Cougar has delivered yet another standout track with “Dream of U”, a bass house banger that takes listeners on a wild ride from start to finish. The track opens with a dreamy, almost cinematic vibe, an elegant orchestral buildup with sweeping strings and violins that gently pull you in. But don’t be fooled by the softness at the beginning. The transition into the drop is as smooth as it is impactful, unleashing a bassline that’s raw, aggressive, and utterly festival-ready.
For those who aren’t familiar with Hex Cougar yet, he’s no newcomer to the scene. The LA-based producer has garnered millions of streams across platforms, with support from some of the biggest names in dance music, including Diplo, Skrillex, Porter Robinson, DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers, and Jauz. His remix portfolio is just as impressive, with reworks for Baauer, RL Grime, Illenium, Alison Wonderland, KRANE, and even Sia to his name.
What I love most about this track is how it balances melody and power. The intro might lull you into a sense of calm with its orchestral charm, but the moment that bassline kicks in, the energy shifts. It’s a true bass house anthem, with a buildup that increases in intensity, making you feel like you’re about to be launched into another dimension. The track builds stamina, and the final drop?
One of those moments that’ll make you lose yourself in the music at a festival. The bass hits harder and harder, pulling you deeper into the track’s infectious rhythm.
One of the standout features in “Dream of U” is its breakdown, which shows just how skilled Hex Cougar is as a producer. The combination of a trap-inspired chorus, sharp hi-hats, and a lush orchestral section creates a beautiful contrast before transitioning seamlessly back into the powerful bassline. It’s a moment that takes you by surprise, yet feels completely natural in the flow of the track. The vocals, while a bit chaotic at times, still add an interesting layer to the overall vibe. They complement the track’s shifting moods, even if they’re a bit hard to follow in the mix.
Overall, “Dream of U” is a solid and captivating tune that further showcases Hex Cougar’s distinctive style.
