Hardwell & Friends EP Vol. 3 Review

Hardwell & Timmy Trumpet - The Underground

 Weird enough a 150BPM banger is the kick-off track to this EP. The classic energy in Timmy Trumpet tracks is easily identified on this one and it being mixed with Hardwell's synths and up-lifting break results in a really good combination. Also a really good touch of the "Hey-Oh" vocals on the break that completes this as a perfect track to set the festivals on fire.

Track Overall: 87/100

Hardwell & Quintino - Woest

Summed up: A really good follow-up for Baldadig. From the catchy vocals to the banging drop this track seems to be the complete package for DJs. A really nice classy touch of the vintage Quintino style combined with Hardwell's big room vibes creates an overall massive track and keeps on fans begging for more.

Track Overall: 89/100

Hardwell & Sick Individuals - Get Low

 A very well awaited track by fans ever since its premiere on the Ultra Europe mainstage last year, Get Low is indeed worth the wait. From the really energetic drop to the downtempo trapish break, this track seems to be the complete package and set to destroy clubs around the globe. The Sick Individuals melody and the big-room energy provided by Hardwell makes this one of the best tracks of the EP.

Track Overall: 93/100

Hardwell & Jewelz & Sparks - Safari

BAP BAP BAP. This is in my opinion the best track of the EP and one collab that I've been wanting for over 4 years to happen. And in my opinion it was really worth the wait. This track is really punchy (pun intended) featuring the already well known Jewelz & Sparks style on the drop and some Hardwell influences all around. This has easily turned into my favourite Hardwell and Revealed releases in a long time and I'm sure I'll be repeating this all year long. 👌

Track Overall: 96/100

Hardwell & Dr Phunk feat. Janine - Take Us Down (Feeding Our Hunger)

 I have to admit I had really low expectations regarding this track but did Hardwell and Dr Phunk prove me wrong. Initially without the vocals the track seemed weak and seemed like it lacked something and the idea of initially mixing a Bigroom and Hardstyle in the same track seemed like a bad idea in the first sight. But boy did the vocals add depth and more feel to this track... I think these are probably the most genius lyrics a Revealed release ever had. I am not able to listen to the instrumental version (available exclusively on revealedrecordings.com). This is in my opinion the complete opposite of We Are One that was featured on the first EP (in this case vocals were considered poor and instrumental amazing). With the vocals this makes it one hell of a emotional and energetic track.

Track Overall: 90/100
