HeyDoc! and Avi Sic Connect on “Way 2 High” for Brazilian Producer’s HEXAGON Debut
Where cinematic sound design meets a global dancefloor language.
Brazilian producer HeyDoc! enters a new chapter with the release of “Way 2 High”, marking his debut on HEXAGON, the label led by Don Diablo and known for pushing the future-facing edge of house music.
The collaboration with Avi Sic brings together two artists with distinct approaches to club music, while also placing HeyDoc! in front of a broader international audience at a time when Brazilian producers continue to gain traction across global labels and stages.
Driven by a solid low-end and late-night energy, “Way 2 High” explores a darker palette without losing clarity on the dancefloor. Metallic vocal elements and industrial textures shape the track’s identity, pointing to a more detailed and intentional sound design approach.
Part of that sonic direction comes from outside the traditional club space. The Brazilian producer drew direct inspiration from the film The Substance, particularly its sound design, which left a strong impression just before the track began to take form.
One day before Avi sent me the first version, I had gone to watch ‘The Substance’ and became fascinated by its sound design. As soon as I heard ‘Way 2 High,’ I knew that the film’s sonic identity would fit perfectly into the drop. I like that because it allows me to show a bit of my cinephile side through music.

The influence appears in subtle ways. The track carries a sense of tension and texture that adds depth without compromising its functionality in a club setting, suggesting an artist interested in building atmosphere as much as impact.
This release arrives during a period of growing international presence for HeyDoc!, with appearances connected to key industry moments such as Miami Music Week and Amsterdam Dance Event. His trajectory reflects a wider movement of Brazilian artists stepping into global circuits with a clear sense of identity.
With “Way 2 High”, HeyDoc! positions himself within a new context, aligning with a label that prioritizes forward-thinking house music while continuing to refine his own sonic language. The result is a release that captures both momentum and direction.
In a landscape where music moves freely across borders, releases like this reinforce something simple and essential. What starts in one place can resonate everywhere. On the dancefloor, connection comes first.
