Quintino & FTampa – Slammer [Spinnin’ Records]

As 2014 roars on, the big-room train keeps on rolling. It’s the usual suspects again, and their on the usual label. Dutchman Quintino has linked up in the studio with Brazilian standout FTampa in a track that has been played out since June. They produced a track called “Slammer,” and it has certainly been a big part of the main room scene in the recent festival season. “Slammer” keeps a high-octane sound pounding through the speakers from start to finish, and this is accomplished in a few different ways. The melody has plenty of intrigue, and is able to cycle without being repetitive. The buildup leaves a little to be desired, as its basically the generic rolling snares that come up often. The drop is a little more of the same, but has unique pieces that give “Slammer” an elite edge over the majority of big-room tunes. The clash between bassline and top line synths is a combination never heard before, and that definitely explains why an all-star cast including the Bassjackers, Alvaro, and Sander van Doorn have supported the track. Grab this absolute banger of a collab between Quintino and FTampa off Beatport today. Enjoy!
