Continuing to make his mark, Ferreck Dawn recently dropped his latest single, "Selfish Games," on Defected Records. His talent extends beyond original productions, as he's lent his remixing skills to top artists like David Guetta, Michael Calfan, Martin Jensen, Matoma, and M-22.

His music's widespread appeal is evident in his performances at notable  venues like Printworks London and Savaya Bali.
