Martin Garrix and Sebastian Ingrosso Announce Bold Return With ‘Peace Of Flood’ Release

A new chapter in the career of Martin Garrix opened when he released “Peace Of Flood” in collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso and Citadelle on 12 September 2025. This track is more than just another single—it’s a statement that showcases Garrix’s evolving artistry, his willingness to experiment, and his ability to bridge different energies and legacies in EDM.

The Collaboration That Turned Heads

“Peace Of Flood” merges two already powerful songs: “Flood” by Sebastian Ingrosso and “Peace Of Mind” by Martin Garrix & Citadelle. Fans had heard fragments of this mashup during festival sets long before the official release. Transforming that live energy into a studio‑polished track was a bold choice, reflecting Garrix’s confidence in the material and his connection with crowd‑driven innovation.

Released under SUPERHUMAN / STMPD RCRDS B.V., the track spans 4 minutes 53 seconds, providing room for both tension and melodic release. The combination of Ingrosso’s atmospheric, emotional build‑ups with Garrix’s melodic hooks and production sophistication makes this song resonate both in clubs and through headphones.

Martin Garrix: Evolution Through Sound

From his breakout with “Animals” to crossing over into more melodic collaborations and emotional EDM, Martin Garrix has consistently pushed his boundaries. He started young, building a reputation for festival anthems and radio success, but what distinguishes his more recent efforts—including “Peace Of Flood”—is how he balances aggressive drops with emotional storytelling.

In this collaboration, Garrix doesn’t simply add his name; he shapes the landscape of the song. His contribution is audible in the transitions from dark intensity to uplifting melody, in how synths rise and fall, and how the arrangement gives space for both dramatic tension and melodic clarity. The production reflects classic Garrix attention to mix clarity, strong bass, and mastering that preserves both power and nuance.

Fan Anticipation and Response

Because parts of “Peace Of Flood” were played live—and even teased in Swedish House Mafia’s recent sets—the official release felt like a promised payoff. When fans hear live snippets of a track, they carry energy and expectation. When the full version drops, especially with Garrix’s signature touches, it is both validation and excitement.

The reception has been strong. Many listeners have commented on how well the mashup preserves the emotional weight of “Flood” while adding the melodic resolution and energy from “Peace Of Mind”. Others appreciate seeing Garrix experiment with darker textures, not forsaking his festival roots but expanding his expressive range.

The Significance of an Official Mashup

Mashups are often limited to DJ sets and unofficial recordings. With “Peace Of Flood”, Garrix and Ingrosso made the decision to commit this live‑favorite mashup into a full, fully produced track. That means all the legal, technical, and creative elements needed for a release were met: rights cleared, parts mixed and mastered, production refined.

For Garrix, this move adds credibility. It signals that crowd‑tested material is worth investing in. It shows that trends in live performance can translate into commercial releases. It also speaks to his willingness to evolve—not sticking merely to song formulas but embracing what works in live context and letting that guide the studio process.

Garrix’s Growth: Creative Risks and Identity

Over the years, Garrix has taken various creative risks: collaborations across genres, experimenting with vocalists, and exploring emotional themes in his music. “Peace Of Flood” fits this trajectory perfectly. It’s not just about producing a track that works on the dance floor—it’s also about creating a listening experience.

His identity as a producer has matured. The energy of his early hits remains, but there is more space for nuance, texture, and emotional arcs. Garrix seems increasingly interested in connecting with his listeners not just through drops but through moments of melody, tension, and resolution. He is becoming known for being able not only to deliver cathartic festival moments but also tracks that hold up in quieter or personal listening situations.

Technical Mastery Behind the Track

The quality of “Peace Of Flood” is underlined by its technical precision. The mixing between more aggressive elements of “Flood” and the melodic uplift of “Peace Of Mind” is clean, allowing listeners to feel the contrast without disjointed transitions. The placement of drops is well timed: they land after build‑ups with enough space to breathe, yet with energy that hits.

Garrix’s label affiliation through Stmpd Rcrds provides him with control over the production process and ensures high standards in final sound. The mastering allows the track to work in large venues, clubs, streaming platforms, and for radio use—something not every mashup achieves when moving from live set to studio release.

What’s Next for Garrix After “Peace Of Flood”

With this release, several likely outcomes stand out. First, “Peace Of Flood” will probably become a staple in Garrix’s live sets during upcoming festival seasons. The recognition from fans and DJs alike makes it a strong candidate for closing sets, surprise drops, or festival anthems.

Second, the success of this collaboration opens doors for more mashups or live‑tested tracks to be released officially. Garrix might increasingly explore projects that begin in performance and evolve into studio productions. That could mean more partnerships like this one or even solo works drawing from this collaborative approach.

Third, there is likely to be remix or alternate version activity. Because fans often like different edits—extended mixes, club versions, instrumental versions—Garrix could leverage that. Also, streaming and playlist performance may increase, especially in electronic, dance, festival, and mood‑oriented genre lists.

Conclusion: Garrix’s Creative Turning Point

“Peace Of Flood” is more than just a song. It is a creative turning point for Martin Garrix, an indication of where his artistic journey is heading. It combines lived experience (snippets played live, crowd reaction) with studio polish, emotional arcs with energy, and collaboration with legacy.

For longtime fans, it offers new sides of Garrix they may not have heard before—darker textures, emotional weight, yet still unmistakably his sound. For new listeners, it presents a polished, festival‑ready track that also works on streaming platforms and headphones.

By pushing boundaries and embracing what works live, Garrix reinforces that his music is evolving. “Peace Of Flood” is a landmark in that journey—and it’s likely just a glimpse of more experimentation, collaboration, and bold artistry to come.
