R3hab – Hakuna Matata (Hardwell Edit) [Revealed Recordings]

R3hab has been long overdue for a release on the label of his old friend, Hardwell. His debut track on Revealed Recordings is called “Hakuna Matata,” and receieved some editing assistance from the label boss himself. This track is a big-room smash, and kicks off with an orchestral style breakdown. It’s rather choppy, and the primary instrument you hear the most of is an aggressive violin. Soon, more sounds join in, and an addition of percussion adds a higher degree of liveliness to the section of the track. after the build up and a vocal sample, the track gets into a wild drop section. The choppiness from the breakdown remains, and a loud, acid-influenced synth takes over. That sound combined with a powerful, big-room bassline makes this tune the banger that it is. It’s not exactly clear whether the editing work came in on the breakdown or the drop, but its quite clear that R3hab and Hardwell have a big hit in “Hakuna Matata”.
