Will K – Hakai [Doorn Records]
The dance music scene today is full of young talent, and that young talent comes from all over the world. One of those young talents is Australian DJ/producer Will K, who has claimed a huge amount of the spotlight with powerful recent singles like “Marsch” and “Back To Life”. He has now been welcomed to Doorn Records to debut with another percussion-heavy single by the name of “Hakai”. If you were specifically a fan of “Marsch,” then “Hakai” will be just your speed. The tribal vibe that Will K brought on the former is alive and well, and is actually highly improved on “Hakai”. The bass kicks brings some crazy low-end power, and the other drums involved hit at the perfect times to create an infectious tribal sound. Will K slowly works more synths into the mix as the drops progress, as well as some tribal vocals to keep that vibe going. Those vocals are the main focus of the breakdown, alongside more vibrant drums. The drums then duck out to trigger the beginning of the buildup, but then roar back into play as the drop approaches. Will K brings “Hakai” into a second drop that packs even more energy than before, combining the same bassline and drums with energetic synths and vocals to create an absolutely wild conclusion. Will K is on fire right now, and I doubt he will slow down anytime soon.
