Ahadadream & Nikki Nair drop ‘Read My Mind’ with PRVNA & Razor
The percussive powerhouse is already doing its rounds, and we’re expecting to hear it a lot more this year
Ahadadream has linked up with Nikki Nair on ‘Read My Mind’, featuring vocals from PRVNA and Razor.
Released under More Time Records, the label co-founded by Ahadadream, the track is a percussive powerhouse primed for the dancefloor.
With its infectious rhythm and silky vocal lines, ‘Read My Mind’ exudes pure energy. The bouncy drums are layered with skittish, high-octane rolls, radiating a menacing yet controlled intensity—signature traits of Ahadadream’s unmistakable sound.
Fans of the Pakistani producer will undoubtedly recall the viral ‘TAKA’ moment with Skrillex that took the internet by storm, and this track hits with similar vigour.
While it doesn’t set out to rewrite the rulebook, ‘Read My Mind’ doesn’t need to. The track’s percussion-driven groove and earworm hooks linger long after the first play and is a heater we’re expecting to hear a lot more this year.

Reflecting on the track, Ahadadream says: “This tune came about super organically when Nikki and I were touring in Japan earlier this year. On our first day in Osaka, we decided to make some music in the hotel. We played it out in the club that night, and it went off! Every time we perform ‘Read My Mind’, it gets such a mad reaction—I knew we had to release it for the clubs before year’s end.”
