Shanahan – HAWKD [Deal Records]
Shanahan is on an absolute tear right now. The American, who is just off the release of “Life Of Scars” on Cryon Recordings back on April 28, drops his latest solo effort titled “HAWKD” on Deal Records. He showcased his lighter side with “Life Of Scars,” and now is emphasizing a harder electro side with “HAWKD”. The track gets its powerful sound from its energetic breaks, and a powerful lead melody. The drop Shanahan has created also is a finely-tuned fusion of some progressive house melody writing matched together with the high-octane synths that he has shown in his recent work. On the plus side as well, “HAWKD” has gotten support from Swanky Tunes and trance titan Armin van Buuren over the recent weeks. In our upcoming interview with Shanahan, he detailed how he told “all [his] friends that “Dance Music” will take over the world” when he was younger, and here he is as a leading man in the revolution. Grab a copy of “HAWKD” on Beatport, and we guarantee it will keep you dancing all through the week.
