HEAVENUS Returns: ROMAN CIGI and Brosso Take the Sanctuary Somewhere Darker

Earlier this year, ROMAN CIGI introduced the world to HEAVENUS — a track that wasn't trying to be a hit. It was trying to be a feeling. A mental sanctuary. An escape from the noise of everyday life built from 130 BPM percussion, atmospheric textures, and three simple words: "Take me there."
It connected. Deeply.
So when Roman started talking to Brosso about what would come next, the pressure was real. You don't follow something personal with something safe. You follow it with something honest.
That's exactly what they did.
Same Soul. Different Universe.
HEAVENUS (Brosso & ROMAN CIGI Remix) is not a reimagining. It's not a radio edit dressed up in new clothes. It's the next chapter of the same story — told from a darker room, at a later hour, with the volume turned up.
The emotional core of the original is still very much alive here. HEAVENUS was never about heaven or angels. It was never a religious concept or a mystical destination. It's a state of mind — that rare moment when the chaos outside goes quiet, and you find your own corner of peace inside the music. That idea hasn't changed. What's changed is the energy around it.
Where the original gave you breathing room, the remix pulls you forward. The groove hits differently. The bassline — developed by Brosso — sits deeper in the mix, giving the track a late-night, club-driven momentum that the original never quite went for. The atmosphere is thicker. More cinematic. The kind of track that works in a dark room at 2 AM just as well as it does through headphones on a train when the world is getting too loud.
How It Was Made
This wasn't a typical remix situation where a producer receives a file, does their thing, and sends it back. Roman was in it from start to finish.
He directed the whole project — working closely with Brosso throughout, making structural decisions, shaping the arrangement, and eventually pulling Brosso's stems into his own DAW to complete the final production himself. The result is something that carries both their fingerprints equally, which is exactly why the official title reads the way it does: ROMAN CIGI – HEAVENUS (Brosso & ROMAN CIGI Remix).
This wasn't the first time the two had worked together, either. Their previous collaboration, I'm Alive, accumulated over half a million streams on VEVO — proof that when these two are in the same creative space, something worth listening to comes out the other side. HEAVENUS feels like a step forward. More refined. More intentional.
Roman has described the response in the first 24 hours after release as genuinely surprising — listeners and curators connecting with it faster than expected. Something about the track is landing. Maybe it's the groove. Maybe it's the atmosphere. Maybe it's just the feeling that this one was made carefully, without shortcuts.
The Cover Tells the Story Again
Look at the artwork, and you'll recognise something from the original. The soldier is back.
This time dressed in shimmering turquoise steel armour from head to toe — face covered, chest lit from within, wings attached to his back as he walks through space. Stars surround him. A bright light burns behind him. It's striking in a way that's hard to fully explain — part science fiction, part mythology, entirely its own thing.
He's not an angel. He's not a religious figure. He's just someone moving through the vastness with purpose, which is as good a visual metaphor for HEAVENUS as anything else. The soldier on the original cover walked between worlds. This one walks on the earth, outside the earth, and beyond it — still moving forward.
Who These Artists Are
ROMAN CIGI is a UK-based DJ and music producer whose work spans House, Tech-House, Techno, Trance, and Progressive House. A member of London Sound Academy and Pete Tong DJ Academy, he's the founder of Soundevote and has played stages in Ibiza and at the iconic Ministry of Sound. His collaborators over the years include Ted Jensen, Eric Sneo, Cid Inc., and Bailey Jehl — a diverse range that speaks volumes about his refusal to stay in one lane.
Brosso brings 12 years of experience in electronic music production from Moscow. His catalogue spans labels including Bonzai Progressive, Interplay Records, Somatique Music, Ritual, Moksha Recordings, and Reload Black Label, among others. He works across Melodic Techno, Indie Dance, and Progressive House, known equally for his production work and his role as a mixing and mastering engineer. He also runs his own YouTube channel and education platform, BPM PRO SOUND.
Together they make sense. Two producers from different worlds, different scenes, different sounds — finding common ground in a track that doesn't belong entirely to either of them.
