About HAGANE
Composed and curated by seasoned electronic musician and sound designer Taihei, EVE5 proudly presents their 2025 Summer Compilation “HAGANE”.
With its euphoric anthems and gritty club weapons, HAGANE stands as both an artistic statement from Taihei and a practical resource for DJs looking to integrate fresh, high-impact material into their sets. Designed with versatility in mind, the compilation moves fluidly across styles — Future NeoTrance, Trap, and Techno, making it well-suited for moments of buildup, transition, or peak energy. Whether you’re introducing a new arc in your set or simply looking for standout tracks that haven’t saturated the scene, HAGANE offers a forward-leaning sound that complements the instincts of discerning performers.
It’s an invitation to tap into a curated palette of exclusive material, created with live play in mind.
About Taihei
John Paul Reyes, better known as Taihei, is a multi-disciplinary musician, sound designer, and creative from Chicago.
Inspired by sound designers Erik Aadahl (Transformers, Godzilla) and Ren Klyce (Oblivion, Fight Club), Reyes started exploring the world of audio engineering through the old family computer, recording and manipulating various sounds on Acid Studio.
It was around 2010, when he came across a music production program called FruityLoops 8 (now known as FL Studio), as well as his friend introducing him to Skrillex’s album Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, where Reyes’ interest in music was galvanized.
In 2019, under the name Taihei, Armada Music (label founded by DJ/Producer Armin van Buuren) held a Trance Song Contest, where he won first place for his unreleased song Inori.
Since then, his works have garnered support and traction by various festivals, DJs, and radio stations such as Ultra Music Festival in Miami, SLAM! FM in the Netherlands, Maurice West (now known as Mau P), and Wave City (a division of YouTube curator Trap City).
