High Priestess of Hard Dance Sara Landry returns with a pounding new single, 'Energy' — a high-powered collaboration with Ali James and the latest cut from her forthcoming album Divine Intervention. The track is out now via her HEKATE label.
The duo channels the raw, unrelenting energy of the underground, transcending listeners into Landry’s distinct sonic realm with driving beats at breakneck speed. A beckoning call to the dancefloor, ‘Energy’ is an all-out demonstration of the high-intensity, unforgiving physical sound that’s come to define hard dance’s takeover, with Landry at the helm.
“‘Energy’ came from a really raw place — I wanted something for the album that would hit hard no matter where you hear it,” Landry says. “I knew Ali would be the perfect collab on this — I remember when we played this out together in December last year at my ETERNALISM shows in Australia, the crowd just exploded. This one’s just pure energy.”
No filter, no build-up, just pure sonic intensity — ‘Energy’ erupts with the same fervour no matter where it’s played. It arrives as the fifth single from Landry’s sophomore album Divine Intervention, which drops on 16 October via HEKATE.
Sara Landry is a DJ, producer and record label head who transforms hard dance into high-pressure, transcendent experiences through her driving, divinely feminine lens. More than just an artist, she is a cultural architect operating at the edges of hard dance — a serial chart-topper and a mainstay on some of the world’s most coveted stages including Coachella, Tomorrowland, EDC and Creamfields. Equal parts tastemaker and cultural provocateur, the “High Priestess of Hard Dance” has been profiled by Rolling Stone, Interview Magazine, VICE, Refinery29 and more, pushing what was long considered subversive boldly into the mainstream.
Her 2026 has already delivered major milestones: her Ultra Music Festival debut in Miami featuring a HEKATE stage takeover and a historic headlining back-to-back with Amelie Lens, plus a return to Coachella for a Quasar stage takeover with BLOOD OATH. Still to come are a Red Rocks headline debut, two curated nights at Under the K Bridge NY, and a second back-to-back with Amelie Lens at Magazine London.
In other news, Landry recently released ‘Interesting’ on HEKATE as another chapter of the Divine Intervention era. ‘Energy’ by Sara Landry and Ali James is out now via HEKATE. Divine Intervention follows on 16 October.
