Mike Hawkins – Hit The Streets [Megaton Records]

As one of our eight artists to watch in 2016, it’s quite obvious that Mike Hawkins has incredible talent. One of his greatest attributes as a producer is his ability to bend the rules that exist in mainstream house. He definitely does that on “Hit The Streets,” which is his next release on his own Megaton Records label. This track sits right on the border between electro house and bass house, and takes the best of both genres to create an explosive sound. The breakdowns have a wild combination of your typical electro synth play combined with what sounds like a heavily-effected electric guitar as the lead synth. The drops hit just as hard, with the addition of deeper and sharper synth reminiscent of bass house to create an infectious vibe that will undoubtedly be huge in DJ sets for Mike Hawkins and producers everywhere. If you like either electro house, bass house, or both, then “Hit The Streets” is a must-add to your DJ set or party playlist.
