Olly James & R3SPAWN – Alarm (w/ VIP Mix) [Revealed Recordings]

Yet another track from the Hardwell Presents Revealed compilation has landed in the form of Olly James and R3SPAWN‘s “Alarm”.

Olly James really is no stranger to Revealed. He appeared on the 2015 ADE sampler and 2016 Miami sampler, along with a few remixes. R3SPAWN are the new kids on the block, with “Alarm” marking the duo’s first release on Beatport. The track got airtime at Ultra Miami as Hardwell mashed it up with Benny Benassi‘s “Satisfaction”.

These guys really bring it back to the older big-room sound that people tend to avoid. They create a slick melody out of excellently layered synths. All throughout the break, there is a repeating “sound the alarm” vocal sample. An actual alarm sample makes its way into the buildup, while the vocal persists. The drop is fantastically done, with strong staccato bits. The VIP mix makes the staccato even stronger, with a more percussive feel. The original is available on Beatport, and the VIP will come if you send your Beatport receipt here.
