Track by colossal track, Hollander Maarten de Jong’s VANDIT score sheet has been growing since his 2011 debut for the label. This year alone it has seen him deliver ‘Wave Glider’ and his first co-production with scene stalwart Woody van Eyden, ‘It’s A Shark’. As 2013 draws to a close though, with ‘Face The World’ it seems he’s been saving the year’s biggest and most badass till last!
Recently cited by label boss Paul van Dyk as “one of the most inspired, dancefloor-thinking producers out there” Maarten de Jong is back with ‘Face The World’. Over 6 intense, punch-packing minutes, the studio young-blood delivers another impossible to ignore tour-de-force production.
Built on a production chassis of pistoning beats, tightly torqued FX distortion and effective synaptic-homing sub-melodies, ‘Face’ has all the early qualities of a floor champion. At the drop, De Jong puts the track into high gear with some expressive superstring atmosphere before driving it straight into a storm of steely tech-trance fury.
“Not for the faint of heart, Maarten brings blistering tech, up-surging euphoric, big, big strings and even a hot-sauce squirt of trance-step grind to ‘Face The World’. Mad, bad and just that little bit dangerous to know!” 8/10 – DJ Mag UK, December 2013
Dimitri Kechagias review: When brand new VANDIT records track is landing you can be sure for one thing. Its going to be a bomb with the seal of approval of the legend and influential superstar dj Paul van Dyk. The latest one arriving thick and fast is of course the magnificent new Marten De Jong. We are now accustomed to wait to get the finest banging techy beats, the roughest and heaviest bad a** basslines and incredible work in the breakdown. Face The World includes a superb calming breakdown with epic cinematic strings followed by the rise of the massive rave style distorted sythy riff that will blow your mind for sure. When the manic beats kicks back we are taken on board for an unforgettable and enjoyable fast and furious ride. You can imagine that you drive the fastest car in the world and you pump up the volume of this mega tune while is played on Paul van Dyk's seminal radio show Vonyc Sessions. Its destined to raise the roof of many clubs and get the crowd very excited and energised to experience another intense moment courtesy of Berlin's finest label VANDIT records and the Dutch powerforce Maarten De Jong. Love IT
