First State and Jake Shanahan present their latest single “Why So Serious” on the Magik Muzik imprint.
"Why So Serious" is the follow up to the previous First State single "Holding On", which was recorded with vocalist Max C. This new production is a collaboration with Jake Shanahan, the young Boston native who's enjoyed much support after his releases on Hardwell's Revealed Recordings and EDX's Pink Star Records along with other prominent House labels.
Fans will agree that "Why So Serious" sees First State push the progressive boundary even further after the charting success of their previous release. Opening all synth registers in the trademark First State style, the track bulldozes its way to an almost raving break, making it a perfect single for large late night live set!

Dimitri Kechagias review: Magik Muzik is the legendary imprint of Black Hole recordings responsible for many classics and now is the time for another future classic to be added. The top label presents the tried, tested and beloved First State along with Jake Shanahan for a massive collaboration that will cause hysteria in many dancefloors worldwide soon. Why so Serious is an ultra large pumper that shakes and rolls big time. Rough and fast pumping beats combined with sharp as knife raw and rocking basslines form the soundbase for the rest of the great elements to be added. The breakdown is huge as expected with hi-nrg euphoric synths and loud and proud piano parts. The laughing sound samples add a funny party atmosphere to remind us all that EDM is about partying and having fun and not the best topic to write endless pages of serious essays around it. I can not agree more on that statement. Why so Serious is simply magnificent so better drop it and observe the club go ballistic. Love IT!
