Here’s a trend that we should have seen coming. Just as electro producers
embraced retro-rave/techno sounds last year, it was only a matter of time
before they started co-opting the NuNRG/hardcore sound of the late
’90s/early ’00s. Leave it to a Dutchman to dust off Joy Kitikonti’s
hardcore classic “Joyenergizer,” and make it massive for 2013. Sander Van
Doorn expands on the bouncy sound of his Kangaroo and adds just enough
modern flavor (this could be a R3hab/Bl3nd chainsaw) to that repeated,
glitchy noise hook that made the original so memorable. The moment the
punters hear the hook, the madness ensues. Don’t be surprised if this
launches a whole trend of hardstyle club classics getting covered/remixed
for 2013. I am betting on Mauro Picotto’s “Lizard” to be quickly
forthcoming.

SONG OF THE DAY: Sander Van Doorn & Julian Jordan – “Kangaroo”
EDM is one of the few genres where producers, DJs, and singers can have success and fan support no matter their age.? We are starting to see up-and-coming DJ/producers in their teens break out- Erik Arbores (15), Porter Robinson (19), and Madeon (18) – so add 16 year-old Julian Jordan to the list. “Kangaroo” marks a complete change in direction for Sander from his more recent, mellower tracks “Koko” and “Nothing Inside,” with a much more aggressive and harder electro sound.? You can definitely hear the influence of Julian on the track, that is, if Julian was raised on Aoki and Skrillex,? The title obviously refers to the relentless bouncy electro beat that make it a perfect stadium/festival track.? Can’t wait to hear the vocal version that will no doubt follow and cross this track to mainstream.
