Sandro Silva & D.O.D. feat. Nuthin’ Under a Million – Chasing Dreams [May 19 – Mixmash Records]

by JP Hadley · May 2, 2014

Like any university, Mixmash Records has some incredible alumni connections. They welcome in two artists who have flourished after being supported on the label on a huge new collaboration that is bound to take over the DJ radio shows during the month of May. Of course, the aforementioned collaboration is between Dutch big-room pioneer Sandro Silva and D.O.D., the British ex-protégé of Laidback Luke. Their song together goes by “Chasing Dreams,” and is scheduled for release on May 19 through Mixmash Records.

The break features vocals from Nuthin’ Under a Million, a Los Angeles-based quintet. Their vocals take place over a rather serene bed of chords. However, once the last repetition of the hook comes to a close, the energy begins to build higher. The progression of the drop soon fades in from the background, and the listener knows exactly what’s up next. The drop rocks a sweet big-room sound that combines the bassline Sandro Silva is known for and the top line D.O.D. has mastered over recent releases.
