Hardwell & Quintino – Baldadig [Revealed Recordings]

A contender for one of the dance music industry’s worst-kept secrets is the collaboration between Hardwell and Quintino. After weeks of teasing at huge festivals worldwide, “Baldadig” has finally arrived.

A collaboration between these two Dutch heavyweights certainly comes as no surprise. Quintino‘s record “Scorpion” received an edit from Hardwell, and it released on Revealed in November 2015. “Baldadig” masqueraded under the working title of “Whine Up,” which certainly was derived from the vocal chorus over its buildup.

One can tell right away why this record was the perfect festival track for the summer. Starting with dramatic horns, Hardwell and Quintino infuse an incredible amount of energy right from the start. These horns serve as the main lead before a reggae styled vocal continues to drive the track forward. The producers use crafty percussion to then bring “Baldadig” towards its climax. Next, an absolutely massive bass kick joins forces with thickly-cut synths to deliver a perfect big-room sound.
