Jay Hardway – Wake Up [Spinnin’ Records]

It all seems to be coming together for Jay Hardway. After being somewhat stuck behind the stardom of friend and frequent collaborator Martin Garrix, he has stepped into his own light with “Wake Up”. Hardway has created a powerful and uplifting tune for the summer, and it is easily his best work to date. The track has a very strong pulse to it, and that is driven by a creatively chopped up vocal. Then, the energy gets cranked even higher as the melody turns into a full-bodied set of rave chords. The best part of this tune is the drop, since it combines the overwhelming power of a big-room track with the awesome melodic aspect of progressive house. “Wake Up” will prove to be a signature work for Jay Hardway, and the tune will be a necessary facet in DJ sets throughout the summer.
