Afrojack and Laidback Luke connect on ‘Move To The Sound’

The undefeatable pairing of Afrojack and Laidback Luke tag-team dancefloors across the world in May with the release of their knockout collaboration Move To The Sound.

A commanding, pitched-down hip-house style vocal from Hawkboy sets the tone as a big build-up prepares us for some classic Dutch house style rhythm. Phat kicks and tight claps punctuate a deliciously undulating electro house flavour bassline while a manic, screeching lead line provides the mayhem, the energy slowly building as hi-hat and ride patterns enter the fold and big stabs heighten the tension. The next breakdown brings a funky breakbeat pattern before the snares hammer us home towards an unexpectedly huge payoff, with the rhythmic bassline swapping places for a driving, guttural one that plays a triumphant melody.

All in all it’s every bit as innovative and brimming with ideas as you’d expect from these two highly experienced stars. It’s been a big moment in their sets of late, with both Afrojack and Laidback Luke road-testing it recently at Ultra Miami to great effect.

Move To The Sound is the latest in a long line of killer releases for Afrojack’s WALL Recordings, with recent highlights including a hot Miami sampler, D.O.D.’s rowdyTaking You Back (Afrojack edit), Munar feat. Ambush’s hard-hitting Voorhees and of course the mega hit ‘Hey’ from Fais ft Afrojack.  The label continues to unearth great new talent.

May sees Luke play DLDK in Manchester, UK, Light and Daylight in Las Vegas during EDC Week, We Are NRG in California and Electric Elements in Canada. Afrojack meanwhile will be rocking the crowds at EDC New York, Wet Republic in Las Vegas, Wish Outdoor Mexico, Barbarella in Dominican Republic and Summerburst in Sweden.

DIM MAK's New Noise Free Download TIGHTTRAXX & DNNYD "All Night" feat. Hawkboy

When two rising producers with similar musical aesthetics join forces, the result is inevitably explosive. In this case, TIGHTTRAXX and DNNYD pair up for the bass-thumping electro anthem “All Night”. Alongside a vocal assist from Hawkboy, the feverish jungle beat features electro charged synths that pump relentlessly, maintaining unrivaled intensity from start to finish.
 
Alex Sardo honed his craft for years ahead of debuting the TIGHTTRAXX alias. Before his solo stint, he was one half of the duo DSKOTEK (pronounced discotheque), who scored stage time at EDC Las Vegas and Nocturnal Wonderland after winning Insomniac's first ever Discovery Project in 2012. When he emerged as a producer in his own right, TIGHTTRAXX began creating exactly that: tracks so tight they garnered support from upper echelon artists like Diplo and Borgore. TIGHTTRAXX has a history of well-received collaborations, his remix of Yellow Claw’s “DJ Turn It Up” with ETC!ETC! having received over 600K plays on SoundCloud.
 
DNNYD (pronounced Danny D) has similarly grasped the attention of the world’s top DJs, from Tiesto to Steve Aoki to Laidback Luke. Accruing over 12K SoundCloud followers in just two years, DNNYD sets his electro house sound apart with out of the box remixes and stadium-status originals.
