Out today on Beatport through Armada Music, this Hardstyle remix of Dash Berlin’s anthem “Till The Sky Falls Down” is the perfect remedy for this low-energy Monday. Dutch producer DJ Isaac, a veteran of the Hardstyle scene, brings a melodic, pulse-pounding twist to the Dash Berlin favorite.

The track starts with a stripped down version of the vocal line that quickly builds into a preliminary Hardstyle drop, which’ll certainly make you sit right up in your chair. The track then cuts out into a beautifully rendered piano section, and as the vocals build the track back up, I really began to enjoy the song. It’s Isaac’s attention to harmonic detail that I miss the most in a lot of the EDM of today, and the layered synth section from 3:00-3:30 sends chills down my arms every time. And while the brutal Hardstyle kick might be a little tough to digest for some, from time to time I just feel like there just isn’t anything that can compare to the surging energy. Plus, Hardstyle dance videos are the coolest.
