Headhunterz and Audiofreq came together to make “Breakout”, a “Housestyle” or Hardstyle track with house elements. There have been mixed feelings about this track; die hard Hardstyle fans are opposed to the shift to “Hard EDM” while others are welcoming of it. It is an interesting track to say the least. Hardstyle but, not. Big room but, not. Personally, I think it sounds like watered-down Hardstyle, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, most likely aimed as a break through track for the USA mainstream market (which is a great marketing move by “Hadhantarz”, as Heady has recently called himself on Twitter, for the Hardstyle scene). All that said though, the track still sounds great with a pretty nice drop.
Track will be released on March 7th, 2014 via Ultra Records.
