In the current landscape of hard-hitting electronic dance, few have blazed the trail quite as comfortably as Hard Rock Sofa. In their eight year journey they have created some serious musical landmarks, forging a very promising future within the industry and establishing themselves for years to come.
"Get Down" sees Hard Rock Sofa, team up with Eva Shaw who has rapidly made a name for herself this past year. Beginning her DJ career in New York City, Eva immediately began booking the top nightclubs. Her first release "Charizma" was quickly signed and jumped into the charts immediately, gaining and maintaining support all around the world.
The team combine to give us a track with a lot of bite. Utilising a catchy 90s revival opening that breaks into a jaw dropping bass assault on the senses, its dynamic essence combines epic synth lines and rolling drum patterns to flaunt a vocal that can do nothing but command a dance floor.
Fresh off the back of his debut album ‘Ineffable’ DJ Q adds his bouncy fun loving style to the track and his mix oozes with the bubbling sound he has taken the UK over with recently.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Champion records combines forces with Spinnin for the release in UK of the magnificent power banging anthem Get Down produced by the unmistakable Hard Rock Sofa and the brilliant Eva Shaw. The original mix starts straight on without delays with heavy cranking beats, slamming aggressive basslines and cool rhythm that make you dance from the start. The surprise comes in the breakdown when the 90's old school piano, meaty breakbeat grooves, rave style euphoric synths and vocal samples work together to form the feel good hands and claps in the air part. The climax is truly classy with aggressive in your face basslines, Animals style percussive elements and euphoric synths that will be impossible not to make you wild and uncontrollable on the dancefloor. Dj Q is on remix duties and he transforms completely the original into a heavy bass focused old school deep house version with rave style synths in the breakdown and the hooky percussive melody that will excite the crowd until to land on the main garage style deep section with introduction of a cool female vocal sample that runs throughout the track. Great remix that mashes ideas and influences and comes up with an analogue warm sound with big room elements as well. As it seems nowadays the only limit on any electronic music producer is his imagination! #ChartHit! Love iT
