In just a few years, they have collaborated with global names including Ty Dolla $ign, Alesso, Sia, Martin Garrix, Becky Hill, and John Newman, among others.</p><p>Since their debut at Tomorrowland, the trio has taken their sound across the globe, selling out venues and steadily expanding their fanbase. Riding that momentum, Sentinel surpassed 20 million streams across platforms in 2024 alone.</p><p>Recent releases include &ldquo;Freedom,&rdquo; a collaboration with Alesso, and &ldquo;Upside Down,&rdquo; created alongside Alesso and Sick Individuals. In 2026, they continued their rise with the highly anticipated single &ldquo;Like Fire,&rdquo; followed by an official remix of Martin Garrix&rsquo;s &ldquo;Catharina.&rdquo; With each release, Sentinel further cement their status as one of the most promising acts in the global dance music landscape.</p><p>The story of &ldquo;Let There Be Light&rdquo; began in 2017, when the group first developed the initial idea for the track. Recognizing its potential, they continued to refine it over several years, determined to bring its full vision to life. Without access to external songwriters, the trio wrote and recorded their own vocal, one of the first they ever created for an original production.</p><p>Completed in 2019, the vocal became a defining element of the track, pairing euphoric, uplifting melodies with an inspiring message of hope. The production journey spanned hundreds of sessions across more than ten studios, including early work completed during a stay in Manchester, UK.</p><p>&ldquo;Let There Be Light&rdquo; reflects a deeply personal chapter for Sentinel, capturing their ambition to not only achieve success but also inspire positivity through music. Entirely written and produced by the trio themselves, the track stands as a testament to their resilience, creativity, and belief in their vision.</p><p>Out now on Tomorrowland Music, &ldquo;Let There Be Light&rdquo; marks a significant milestone in Sentinel&rsquo;s journey, one that continues to resonate emotionally with the group as they share it with the world.</p><div\n    id='gallery-ec620de1-d32c-44f1-9b9d-2baa5008b765'\n    class='release-content-gallery release-content-gallery--layout-contained'\n    data-component='chromatic-gallery,image-zoom-popup'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-padding='S'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-thumbnail-size='M'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-captions='data:application/json,true'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-photos='data:application/json;base64,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'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-force-full-width='data:application/json,true'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-expand-icon='data:text/plain;base64,PHN2ZyBjbGFzcz0iaWNvbiBpY29uLWV4cGFuZCI+CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA8dXNlIHhsaW5rOmhyZWY9IiNpY29uLWV4cGFuZCI+PC91c2U+CiAgICAgICAgICAgIDwvc3ZnPg=='\n    data-image-zoom-popup-selector='.chromatic-gallery__photo'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-i18n='data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0='\n    data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-view-event='Story Image View'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event='Story Image Download'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-placement='content'\n></div><div class=\"release-content-contact\" id=\"contact-c4eccc9c-bcad-4c3b-b61a-9defbbffe253\">\n    \n    <div class=\"release-content-contact__details\">\n        <strong class=\"release-content-contact__name\">Stijn Maris</strong>\n        <em class=\"release-content-contact__description\">Artist &amp; Music PR, Tomorrowland</em>\n        <ul class=\"release-content-contact__details-list\"><li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"mailto:stijn.maris@tomorrowland.com\"  class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"stijn.maris@tomorrowland.com\"><svg class=\"icon icon-paper-plane release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-paper-plane\"></use>\n            </svg>stijn.maris@tomorrowland.com</a></li></ul>\n    </div>\n</div><p> </p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
