[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The highly innovative artist KASIA, collaborating with the original artist Ayla, has reimagined the beloved classic “Ayla” in a captivating blend of melodic house and techno sounds. This rendition of the track has undergone multiple iterations, initially through sampling of the original melody and subsequently enhanced with new additional sounds. KASIA, following her successful recreation of Universal Nation on Armada Music, delivers a high-energy 126 BPM banger that showcases her exceptional musical prowess. The new “Ayla” features robust drums, punchy kicks, deep basslines, and melodramatic orchestral strings and synths that create tension and elevate the listener’s adrenaline. The driving rhythm of the track is characterized by its innovative approach, incorporating melodic elements, dark textures, and the iconic synthy melody in the breakdown. This distinctive feature is poised to captivate audiences, surprise them, and induce an irresistible urge to dance on the festival grounds. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
