Grum and Amba Shepherd Reunite on Vocal-Fueled Trance Single “Unsaid”

Published on Wed, September 9, 2026

Trance luminary Grum reunites with multi-platinum artist Amba Shepard for Dreamstate Records debut.

Edinburgh-born producer Grum has reunited with Sydney’s singer-songwriter Amba Shepherd to make their debut on Dreamstate Records with new trance single “Unsaid.”

Grum has been an extraordinary talent at the forefront of Scotland’s electronic music scene for more than a decade. His versatility gleams across the trance, house, techno and progressive spectrum, and his artistic reach and dexterity fully come to life through his hybrid hardware live sets. Multi-platinum artist Amba Shepherd’s ethereal voice has become one of the most recognizable in dance music.

A vocal-fueled trance single, “Unsaid” explores the power of words left unspoken. Ethereal and soul-stirring, Shepherd’s silky croons touch on the weight of holding back the truth as the track crescendos from lush, orchestral arrangements into driving progressive rhythms, dotted by chirping analog arpeggios, shimmery textures and crunchy basslines.

Grum and Shepherd previously teamed up on their collaboration “Slow Motion” in April, which drew tastemaker support from Andrew Rayel, Kyau & Albert, Super8 & Tab, Genix, Ronski Speed, Frankyeffe and label heads Above & Beyond.

Grum has released four full-length albums since 2010, frequently collaborating with artists including Natalie Shay, Able Joseph and Dash Jones. His music has been championed by Armin van Buuren, deadmau5, Solomun, Gareth Emery, and CamelPhat, and he has headlined shows at Level 8 LA and Anjunabeats’ ‘Open-Air’ at Aura Cocina & Bar, as well as performing at ABGT500 at Banc of California Staidum, Dreamstate SoCal, EDC Las Vegas, ATOMIKA Festival and Above & Beyond’s ‘Anjunabeats Warehouse’ in Birmingham. He is also set to perform at ABGT 700 at The Gorge on September 12.

Shepherd has released with industry giants including Hardwell, Porter Robinson, Tiësto, R3HAB, Dash Berlin, Afrojack, Ferry Corsten, and Laidback Luke. She has earned two IDMA nominations, numerous appearances on the Billboard Dance chart, and a Top 10 placement on the ARIA Club chart.

“Amba (a fellow Shepherd), is a legendary singer in dance music and I’ve long been a fan. She sent over this vocal idea which immediately clicked with a track I had been writing – it just felt like it was meant to be! The Insomniac labels have been putting out some great music and this felt like a perfect fit for my debut release with Dreamstate.” – Grum

“I’ve admired Grum and his music for such a long time – he’s a true legend of progressive house and trance, and such an innovative producer and artist. I’m incredibly proud to be collaborating with him on ‘Unsaid’, and to be releasing it with the iconic Dreamstate. It feels like a very special home for this record.” – Amba Shepherd
