Staar Traxx returns in 2017 a new host of prolific artists, forging the pinnacle of forward thinking, beat driven, atmosphere electrifying house music.
Beginning with a bang, Simon Alex & AK9 provide the opening score of what promises to be a masterful year of music with the massive horn led rally, Badlands.
Deceptively simple to start, the beat builds gradually to a stomping medley of snares and almost a war cry vocal, which releases the driving beat to the break down. The horn riff serves almost as revelry to the inevitable sonic explosion of the crescendo where a full array of percussion and vocal stabs join together to deliver a massive moment in any DJ set. If you needed evidence of this all you need to do is watch Steve Angello premiere the track at Tomorrowland Brasil 2016, before heavily supporting throughout the summer. Finally the record is released on one of dance musics most durable, forward thinking labels, Staar Traxx.
