Mike Griego - Hypnotize feat. Hyboid incl. Sonic Union Remix 10

Summary

Afterglow is synonymous of awesome progressive well curated by Elef who always manage to pick the finest in electronic music scene. Mike Griego presents his magnificent 9 minutes long anthemic track Hypnotize with solid drum programming, pulsating basslines, slightly balearic airy hi-nrg synths, distorted vocals, cool sonic effects and sound design that will keep you hypnotized on the dancefloor. 120 BPM journey to press play and let your audience feel all its cool elements, the perfect sonic acupuncture to revitalize your senses. Sonic Union 125 BPM Remix adopts crunchy grooves, chunky basslines, thumping drums, distorted vocals and put emphasis on the siren like synthy hook that works perfectly to elevate tension to the maximum. Superb breakdown prepares for the full on drop perfect for the peak time of any progressive set. Both are must have's and exclusive on Afterglow. #PureGold Love IT
