The Prototypes 'Electric' (Get Hype)
Destroying raves across 2016, The Prototypes’ giant belting showstopper cleverly marries the stabbiness of in-your-face big-room bashers with something a little more driving and electro-funked. The lacerating synth line that snipes and cackles is balanced perfectly by the vast swooshing synth waves melodically careening the whole affair along. The midway switch-up heralds a more unvarnished pummelling, however, as the crackling mid-range takes over for some heads-down blackout time. These boys know how it goes down, and there are few better DJs to rinse the most from this kind of sound anywhere.
