REVIEW: Hook N Sling Feat. Karin Park - Tokyo By Night (Axwell Remix) on WePLAY Music

Bondi's finest, Hook N Sling, combines with Sweden's Karin Park for the most eagerly anticipated releases of recent times (possibly ever).

Years in the making, the wait has been well worth it; with Axwell's remix leading the charge, proving once again that everyone else is simply following. 

Having taken on various incarnations in the production stage, one element remained a constant: the beguiling song, written by Hook N Sling and Karin Park.

Hook N Sling (a.k.a. Anthony Maniscalco ... yes, it's one person!) is an act poised for big things in 2014! 

Now LA based, Hook is perhaps best known for the singles, 'Take You Higher' with Goodwill, and 'Reason' with NERVO. 

His recent incendiary collaboration with Empire of the Sun, 'Celebrate', and remixes for Kaskade, Krewella and The Presets have exemplified his own brand of music with dance floor precision, artistic substance and mass appeal.

With Karin, an artist who is certainly ploughing her own path in electronic music with her album 'Highwire Poetry' due for release later this year, they have together crafted a timeless dance floor gem.



Dimitri Kechagias review: WePLAY music presents the exceptional track Tokyo By Night that was released first on Axwell's Axtone record label produced by Hook N Sling and featuring the stunning voice of Karin Park that stands out and becomes the focus point of it. The only version that surfaced from this release is the brilliant Axwell remix that continues the legacy of the Swedish progressive house scene with uplifting euphoric synths in the drop and mellow melancholic travelling breakdowns. Well timed and perfectly arranged production with plenty of full on hands in the air moments that particularly festivals audiences will appreciate. The track has all the potential to crossover to mainstream charts as well after its glorious career in the clubs and festivals this summer. #PureGold Love it
