Daybreakers are an English/Canadian dance music group and remix/production outfit, consisting of producers Ric Scott and Alex Hush.

Biography

The duo between them has credentials that stack up high. Ric has worked on some of the best dance and trance tunes, including with Warp Brothers, Ian Van Dahl, Paul Van Dyk, Moogwai, and more recently Lady Gaga, Paul Hardcastle and Hemstock & Jennings.^{[citation needed]} Alex is also known as one half of the production duo Koishii & Hush, who have released their own tracks, including collaborations with New Order’s Gillian Gilbert and Duran Duran’s John Taylor.^{[citation needed]}

Ric and Alex first collaborated together on a remix for Erasure, before deciding to make Daybreakers an ongoing project. Their first remix as Daybreakers was for the U2 single ‘Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It’s Way’ which helped propel the song to the top spot on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart^[1]. With the success of the U2 remix, they were asked to remix Madonna’s single "I Rise", which also took the #1 spot, giving Madonna her 48th #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart.^{[citation needed]}

On July 19, 2024,^[2] Daybreakers released 'Quarter To', a collaboration with Radio Company (Steven Carlson and Jensen Ackles), a radical transformation of their track 'Quarter To' which turned it into a melodic progressive anthem. This new version topped the UK Commercial Pop Top 30 at #7.^{[citation needed]}
