W&W – How Many [Mainstage Music]

While fans are used to their unforgiving big-room sound, Dutch duo W&W seem to have dialed it back with their next release. “How Many” is the second single for the duo so far in 2016, after they teamed up with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike for “Arcade”. This new single really combines the two distinct styles of production that we’ve heard from W&W, and that sound spawns a powerful fusion of genres. The breakdown is dominated by a high-pitched vocal from which “How Many” acquires its name. The culmination of the vocals summons a dynamic melody crafted from a rather heavy combination of synths. That same melody stays as the focal point of the track as it transitions into its buildup. W&W then rework the melody as the drop comes into play, giving it a bit more flow than before. That melody comes together with a matching bassline and a rather stiff bass kick to bring “How Many” to life. W&W have a lot more to come this year, and “How Many” is simply the beginning.
