Hard Dance Review: BK - Encore out on Armada Music

10.0
Overall Score

 


Maximizing the dance floor mayhem, BK adds to his series of hard dance stompers with another auditory homerun. Decked out with crude kick drums, hypnotic offbeat bass and a synth melody that sticks, ‘Encore’ is what fans will be begging for at every BK show this year.

Dimitris Kechagias Review:
BK - Encore 10

Summary

BK, a prominent figure in the hard house and trance genres of the United Kingdom, has a rich history and discography. Many consider him a legendary artist who has significantly influenced the production of other artists. Encore is a captivating 142 BPM hard house track with influences from tribal trance. It possesses all the essential elements to serve as a compelling bridge between uplifting trance sets and harder sounds. The track features stomping techno drums, bouncy basslines, and metallic kicks, complemented by superb choir-like vocals. Notably, the extended and atmospheric breakdown reveals BK’s signature anthemic synthy riff, reminiscent of classic trance tracks from the late 1990s. The production is solid and cohesive, maintaining the listener’s engagement and ensuring an immersive experience. BK’s anthemic, euphoric, and powerful sound perfectly encapsulates the resurgence of hard house music. It is unfortunate that Tony De Vit is no longer with us, but his contributions to the genre continue to inspire. #PureGold Love IT
