Bali Bandits – Toink [Hexagon Records]
There are few people in the music industry with as unique of a sound as the Bali Bandits. That unmistakable sound reigns supreme yet again in their next single, “Toink”.
This track marks a first for the duo, as this is their first release on Don Diablo‘s Hexagon Records. They have previously released via Revealed Recordings and WOLV Records. The label boss himself featured the track prominently in his Ultra Miami and EDC Las Vegas sets.
“Toink” feels like it’s almost out of place on the Hexagon label. It’s one of the few tracks that does not have any future house elements to it. I have to give credit to Don Diablo for branching out, and also believing in young talent. Bali Bandits masterfully produced the breakdown with top-level energy and blistering percussion. The buildup just cranks it even higher, before a vocal sample triggers the drop. They go for a heavy sound on the drop, bringing twangy synths and an irresistible vibe to the forefront. Uniqueness and energy are Bali Bandits‘s strong suit, and “Toink” puts it all on display.
