Merk & Kremont feat. Bongom – Now Or Never [December 22 – Spinnin’ Records]

by JP Hadley · November 27, 2014

As the cold months of winter approach, Italian duo Merk & Kremont are continuing to heat up with their solo debut on Spinnin’ Records. The duo has absolutely torn it up throughout 2014, with hits like “Zunami,” “Amen,” and “Anubi” raising their stock throughout the dance music community. Of course, these releases have not come through small labels, since Protocol Recordings, Size Records, and Revealed Recordings are amongst the few that have recognized the sheer talent that this duo possesses. To close out 2014 with one more successful track, the duo has enlisted the help of Bongom to provide vocals for the long-awaited track “Now Or Never”. This tune was rumored to come out via the Size Records catalog since it was debuted and supported heavily by label boss Steve Angello. “Now Or Never” will drop on December 22 via Spinnin’ Records.

The breakdown starts off with an orchestral-style sound that gives “Now Or Never” a very mysterious vibe to start off. The progression that the orchestral sequence follows soon changes completely and is replaced by a Daft Punk-esque vocal chorus repeating the title of the track. The addition of percussion allows this part of the track to thrive, and soon this gives way to another perfectly blended lead synth from Merk & Kremont. The vocals and lead synth combine as the buildup begins, and drive the track closer to a sweet drop. The trademark grooving drop of Merk & Kremont comes back on “Now Or Never,” and is now destined for plenty of success on the Beatport charts.
