REVIEWED: Tom Moroca – Hello [Peak Hour Music]

Released on January 18th

Tom Moroca brings bass heavy goodness to Peak Hour!

I rout for artists who take their productions to the next level, trying new approaches and blending different EDM influences and yet, managing to keep their trademark sound. And that’s what you find in this epic release from this Norwegian producer. The way Tom builds up the intro gives you a hint about what’s to come: Hello has an ever-changing dynamic, in a way you could play this all night long and find something new every time.

A pounding drum kick reaches deep into your heart, while beautiful and spot-on claps set a thrilling pace to the track. Add to this an absolutely sick bassline and you’ve got Moroca’s unmistakable rough progressive eletro-driven sound.

Some elements will definitely stand out: the raw, techy and filthy synths. Oh, the synths! Moroca makes some extremely captiving rhythms with them – from some low funky vocal snippets to the delicious dreamy leading melody that blows your mind!

The mysterious atmosphere is enhanced by the surrounding white noises the Norwegian producer unleashes alongside other wicked effects to wrap up this MASSIVE choonage. Dance floor destroyer!

In the remix duties, we’ve got the Canadian KNY Factory granting a fierce twist to the original, stepping up his game with an astonishing dubstep drop and working with some fantastic chopping vocals. The fresh UK duo Zero9, on the other hand, comes along with a remix that is a club progressive smasher! They amplify Moroca’s phone call – that intimate feeling you have from the original grows to become a huge festival anthem – can you feel the energy building up with your hands up high? Overwhelming breakdown!

Hello, Tom, I think this is your way of telling us 2012 will be your year! Go ahead…

It’s a MUST-HAVE release – my pick of January! Grab it NOW on Beatport
