Jason Ross & William Black Join Forces on Cinematic New Single “Mirage” ft. Oaks

A soaring collaboration blending progressive house scale with emotionally charged songwriting.

Los Angeles, CA – Friday, May 1 – Two of melodic dance music’s most commanding forces, Jason Ross and William Black, unite for “Mirage ft. Oaks,” a cinematic progressive house collaboration landing via Insomniac’s Lost In Dreams imprint. As Jason Ross continues his evolution across progressive house, trance, and melodic bass, and William Black sustains his rise as a leading voice in emotionally driven festival anthems, the pair converge on a release that signals the next chapter of Jason Ross’ forthcoming album. Elevated by the evocative vocals of Oaks, the dance alias of Swedish singer-songwriter Winona Oak – “Mirage” channels both artists’ signature balance of scale and introspection into a mainstage-ready centerpiece.

Driven by climbing arpeggios, radiant guitar accents, and sweeping orchestral flourishes, “Mirage” builds with cinematic precision toward a euphoric, big-room-leaning payoff. Oaks’ husky, ethereal delivery anchors the track’s emotional core, tracing the uncertainty of a love that feels increasingly illusory. Swelling pads and dynamic percussion amplify the tension before releasing into a cathartic climax, capturing the fleeting, dreamlike quality its title suggests. Arriving on the heels of Jason Ross’ recent single “Ultra Love,” the track further sharpens the album’s expansive vision—blending melodic bass sensibility with progressive house scale for a release built to resonate far beyond the dancefloor.

“I got a topline from Winona Oak (Oaks) and instantly knew this was going to be a big progressive record. William Black and I had been talking about working together for years, and this one just felt like the perfect fit, especially with both of us coming from that progressive house / trance background. We kept bouncing ideas back and forth, each bringing our own sound into it, and it all came together really naturally. It actually happened pretty fast, and those always end up being the most special ones for me. And getting to work with Winona Oak was incredible. I’ve been a fan of hers for years, so having her on this made it even more meaningful.” – Jason Ross

“I’m hyped about finally writing a song with Jason. I’ve wanted to work with Oaks for a minute. Mirage feels like the perfect blend of all our worlds.” – William Black

“It’s the story of a heart caught between hope and doubt – chasing something that feels real, but fearing it might just be a mirage.” – Oaks

Off the back of sustained global momentum, Jason Ross continues to redefine the intersection of trance and melodic bass, evolving far beyond his Anjunabeats roots into a genre-blurring force with a growing Atlas brand spanning releases and live events. Alongside him, William Black has solidified his position at the forefront of melodic bass, earning a reputation for emotionally resonant songwriting and high-impact festival performances, with collaborations alongside scene leaders like Illenium and SLANDER. Adding a distinct vocal dimension, Oaks brings a deeply emotive edge shaped by her background as a globally recognized songwriter, channeling raw lyricism and atmospheric nuance into her evolving electronic output.
