Laidback Luke & KURA – Mad Man [Spinnin’ Records]

If you’re looking to push the tempo a bit higher in your next DJ set, look no further than “Mad Man”.

This unique tune is the brainchild of Dutch veteran Laidback Luke and Portuguese phenom KURA. This track took festival season by storm, as it garnered support from top-tier talent at massive shows throughout the world. Also, “Mad Man” has this fun fact: the track itself was mastered by Revealed Recordings label boss, Hardwell.

Like this review’s lede says, this track pushes the tempo. We’re talking all the way up to 140 beats-per-minute. KURA calls this style “Jungla,” and Laidback Luke hopped on-board happily. A de-tuned lead synth with a simply melody starts the breakdown, before an even bigger, brass-led synth takes over. While this is going on, the producers do an awesome job of using drums to infuse more energy into the track. Next, a quick vocal sample serves as the link between the build and the climax. Screaming big-room synths and a pounding low-end give this track a vigor that none so far this year contain. “Mad Man” is a unique and powerful tune for anyone looking to changes things up a bit.
