Deniss Releases New Single “Svētku nakts” with Reiks and Announces Concert at Palladium

On Wednesday, October 30th, Latvian rapper and member of the group “Kreisais Krasts,” Deniss (Deniss Stepanovs), released a new song, “Svētku nakts” ("Holiday Night"), along with its music video. This single, which is part of his upcoming debut album, was created in collaboration with fellow artist Reiks.

The first version of “Svētku nakts” was crafted in 2018 when Reiks initially shared the concept with Deniss, but it was only completed this year with a different sound and the addition of Deniss's second verse. “'Svētku nakts' symbolizes a journey through life's struggles and the ability to find light and positivity,” Reiks explains. “It's full of positive energy, designed to remind us of the importance of celebrating others.”

The song also reflects Deniss's challenging childhood, his dreams, and the journey to becoming who he is today. “I truly want to inspire others by sharing my story and showing that a way out of hardship is possible if you have the desire and determination. I also want to encourage people to appreciate their lives. Reiks has always encouraged and helped me believe in myself, so creating this song together was meaningful and significant for me,” says Deniss.

The track was produced by Marks Matisons (MarkMate), who is responsible for the beat, with the final mixing and post-production by Jānis Šmēdiņš (Fakts). The “Svētku nakts” music video features well-known Latvian MMA fighter Daņiks Vesņenoks, rappers Hotte and Xantikvariāts, influencers Lāsma Novika and Sintija Turkopole, Japanese singer Masaki Nakagawa, singer Emīlija Bērziņa, among others. The video was filmed and edited by Toms Auziņš, with Ņikita Simoņenko as the director.

Along with “Svētku nakts,” Deniss has announced two major updates—on March 12, 2025, he will release his debut album, and on April 12, he invites everyone to the concert "DENISS: 10 Years in Rap" at Palladium Riga. Tickets for the concert are now available at Biļešu Serviss

Previously, the first single from Deniss’s debut album, “Nekas neizmainīs to” ("Nothing Will Change It"), was released in collaboration with Latvian singer Patrisha, and the second single, “Lidojam tik augstu” ("We Fly So High"), in collaboration with rapper Sudrabu Sirds.
