Making their debut on Polaris, Bulgarian powerhouse Pavel Petrov teams up with German duo Hidden Empire and rising vocal talent AKIKI for a deep, driving anthem titled ‘Stand’.

Built for the late-night hours, Stand fuses hypnotic basslines, cinematic tension, and AKIKI’s haunting vocal layers into a peak-time weapon of emotional depth and sonic precision. Petrov’s percussive energy meets Hidden Empire’s melodic finesse, resulting in a track that’s both commanding and immersive.

With this first strike on Polaris, the trio delivers a bold statement — one foot on the dancefloor, the other in the subconscious.
