Bassjackers & Jay Hardway – El Mariachi [June 20 – Spinnin’ Records]

It’s time to clear room on your summer playlist, and the Bassjackers and Jay Hardway are clearly trying to grab a spot. The Spinnin’ Records veterans combine their talents in the studio to debut a big-room tune by the name of “El Mariachi”. The Bassjackers just came off a Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike-aided single on their Smash The House label, while Jay Hardway was most recently on Spinnin’ Records with his single “Stardust”.”El Mariachi” is another one that has been floating around for a while, having surfaced last summer during Belgium’s world-famous Tomorrowland festival. Just about ten months have passed since its first play, but you can grab “El Mariachi” via Spinnin’ Records on June 20.

Bassjackers and Jay Hardway did a fantastic job of playing with the energy levels on “El Mariachi,” with the breakdown kicking off with just a simple piano sequence over a deep sub-bass. The guys then bring in the big guns after a few bars, with thick cuts of synths fading in from the background. Those synths are then cut up to create a dynamic melody before giving way to the buildup sequence. This build is really intense, with strong drums and a rising level of excitement. A quick “GO!” sample triggers the drop, which really hits all of the strengths that Bassjackers and Jay Hardway have to offer. A full-sized big-room bass kick, percussive topline, and brass-style fills brings “El Mariachi” together to a fantastic conclusion.

This banger from Bassjackers and Jay Hardway will drop June 20 via Spinnin’ Records.
