Canadian speed house powerhouse Haus of Panda cements his reputation as a leader of the high-energy movement with his label debut on Lost In Dreams, a turbocharged remix of SABAI and Linney’s single, “Are You Happy Now.” The remix transforms the stirring breakup ballad into a rave-ready anthem, combining emotive storytelling with pulse-pounding production.
On his reinterpretation, Haus of Panda reimagines the track with rumbling low-end, haunting pads, and cinematic orchestral builds. Linney’s breathy vocals trace heartbreak and longing over the soundscape before the drums explode into a four-on-the-floor beat layered with nostalgic vocal chops, galloping basslines, climbing arpeggios, and darting rave leads. The result is a euphoric, emotionally-charged journey that completely recontextualizes the original while maintaining its emotional weight.
Reflecting on the remix, Haus of Panda shares: “I first heard this song while I was living with SABAI in Vancouver. The emotion of the vocal caught me right away. When he mentioned preparing remixes for the release, I didn’t hesitate. Something about the melody and the vocals felt like it fit perfectly with my style, and I knew I could take it into a whole new lane.”
The original “Are You Happy Now” has already amassed over 687,000 streams and received coverage from Airwave Music, WaveMusic, Melodic Magazine, Kindline Magazine, Aipate, LA On Lock, Roadie Music, Rockola Indie, Music On The Rox, and Distopic. Haus of Panda’s remix follows a string of notable reinterpretations, including contributions from label regulars Highlnd and CloudNone, as well as SABAI and Linney’s own acoustic version.
Hailing from Winnipeg, Haus of Panda thrives within the speed house ecosystem, blending hard house, bassline, and garage into a high-octane sound that has earned support from Tiësto, Don Diablo, Afrojack, Oliver Heldens, Dada Life, David Guetta, Bingo Players, and Robin Schulz. His catalog includes collaborations with RayRay, Sihk, and Tommie Sunshine, and he recently headlined the ‘Speed World’ label showcase at The Manitoba Museum, delivering the region’s largest laser and lighting show in history.
Haus of Panda’s remix of SABAI and Linney’s “Are You Happy Now” is now available on all platforms via Lost In Dreams Records.
