Following the huge success of ‘Cannonball’ Showtek and Justin Prime have now revealed details of their new single, ‘Cannonball (Earthquake)’. The collaborative production, which features the vocals of Matthew Koma, is set for release on Spinnin’ / Polydor on 16th March 2014. It received its world premiere on world-renowned dance music tastemaker Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show on Friday 6th December, introducing the single to the world in explosive fashion.
Released in March of this year, the instrumental version of the track quickly proved itself to be an inescapable club anthem with its high-octane rush of euphoric chord progressions, ice cool synths and pounding bass. Going straight into the Beatport Top 10, as well as No.5 in their native Holland’s chart, it quickly appeared as one of the most played tracks of Miami Winter Music Conference and came out as an undisputed fan favourite at Ultra Music Festival, remaining in heavy rotation across clubs and festivals throughout the summer.
Now, Showtek and Justin Prime are set to release a fresh incarnation of the instrumental featuring Matthew Koma, who has previously collaborated on tracks such as Hardwell ‘Dare You’, Alesso ‘Years’ and ZEDD ‘Spectrum’. On ‘Cannonball (Earthquake)’ the instrumental retains all the immediacy and energy that make it such a standout club track, while Koma’s soaring vocals perfectly intertwine with the track’s synth melodies to add another utterly infectious layer to the standout production. With the addition of Koma’s songwriting finesse, ‘Cannonball (Earthquake)’ is elevated to new realms.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Showtek is the new EDM phenomenon that even manage to smash the UK Top 40 with their stunning Booyah. Their next track ready to smash the house is the vocal version of their co production with Justin Prime called Cannonball(Earthquake) featuring the beloved Matthew Koma. Now the package becomes extended with additional remixes to blow your mind and smash some houses and dancefloors as well. Kryder service his energetic well known electro house sound that loves the rough basslines, the heavy cracking drums and in the breakdown allows the very nice melody to escape along with the awesome vocals. The drop is melodic with Swedish house influences for certain. Brooks remix is the rough aggressive rocking hard and heavy house version that doesn't allow any space to breathe. It sounds like an intense ride upon the back of some extraterrestrial creatures called the Loudspeakerz. Ready to fight and jump your way to the dancefloor. Festival mayhem is guaranteed. Lazy Rich remix moves on the same terrain of the heavy hard house with melodic breakdown that allows the vocal to cast its spell upon us and then the euphoric synthy stabs that push your adrenaline levels to the limits. The climax is very aggressive and thunderous so better show us what you can do when the manic drum beats cracks the code and the rest will be history. Loopers remix is another variation of the progressive house sound of Now with dirty dutch influences and more electro infusions in the rough and sharp drop while the breakdown is packed with full vocal pleasure. Yellow Claw finally re-imagine the track in their own trap established style and they are so good at it! Trancy synthy leads upon the heavy kicks and cool break beats with the trumpet like synthy lead and distorted vocal samples. Even if you are not trap fan you can admire their creative approach! Hit Alert!
