BUY/STEAM: HUMAN RIAS X XASHES “THIS IS THE END” HERE
Iranian DJ and producer Human Rias, alongside collaborator Xashes, have released “This Is The End”, a tense and emotive electronic track that channels the ongoing fight for freedom in Iran. The record, already supported by artists including Tiësto, David Guetta, and Korolova, blends the energy of the dancefloor with a real-world message of resilience and solidarity.
The track was written at the height of Iran’s Woman, Life, Freedom protests in 2023, a time when Rias’ rendition of the protest anthem “Baraye” helped amplify global awareness. That version, later remixed by electronic artists like Victor Ruiz and Jan Blomquist, became a rallying point for hope and international attention.
“At that time, Iranians everywhere felt something shift,” Rias reflects. “We believed freedom was within reach, that decades of suffering might finally end.”
Despite being conceived during that moment, “This Is The End” remained unreleased, until now. In 2026, as history continues to echo and Iran faces another critical juncture, Human Rias and Xashes have chosen this moment to release the track deliberately, using it as both a statement and a form of defiance.
“This release is a declaration of solidarity,” Rias says. “It’s about standing with the people of Iran, holding onto hope, and believing that this time, change is inevitable — not just for Iran, but against dictatorship everywhere.”
Structured around tension, release, and collective strength, “This Is The End” is more than a club track. It functions as both a dancefloor anthem and a document of political urgency, designed to raise awareness of Iran’s ongoing struggle and to amplify voices that are often silenced.
