Mike Hawkins – Hollywood [Armada Music]

One of the most successful rebrands in recent history has to be Mike Hawkins. His track “Hollywood” will certainly impress you.

The Aarhus, Denmark native had a publicized split from Spinnin’ Records in order to control his career more. Since he landed with Armada Music, his successes are quite impressive. Plus, you know you’re onto something when Sick Individuals and Morgan Page drop you some support, too.

“Hollywood” is a bit of a return to form for Mike Hawkins. He built his career at first with some booming electro productions, and brings that style back to life. The breakdown consists of simple drums and a looping vocal, since it is essentially an extended buildup. Of course, that simplicity means that the drop will sneak up on you. Massive, brass-like synths take over with a thumping bassline to create a track bound to cause havoc on dancefloors. This tune brings the perfect amount of energy to appease everywhere from a small club to a huge festival. Mike Hawkins rocks it on this one.
