Tsunami” vibes, plus hardstyle, plus a catchy vocal. What can I say?
“Crowd Control” is a perfectly efficient festival machine, a genial and clever idea!
It’s a song that will make you bounce, have fun and entertain you. This time I need to compliment with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and W&W because, as seen in live sets, this works.
The vocal is a bit ridiculous if you hear it on your headphones, but listening to it live should be awesome! It engages with the crowd, a thing that it’s innovative (even if the duo uses a similar thing with “Tremor”, splitting the crowd in half before the drop) and perfect for big festivals.
Then, the drop. This is where the geniality of “Crowd Control” comes out. They took the two catchiest things around, “Tsunami” and hardstyle edits, and created a super entertaining drop. Sure, it isn’t very creative, but this works perfectly. In addition, already two years have passed since “Tsunami” was released and I think it’s time for saying that this is acceptable in creativity terms.
But the icing on the cake is the second break. Here we can see how W&W are always capable to put their trance/big room vibes in every production. It’s extremely catchy, with the vocal in the background and (wisely) a main dominance by the W&W synth. I love the melody, it charges you for the drop, especially in the second part. Supremely beautiful, as expected from such important producer.
In conclusion, “Crowd Control” took some ideas from other tracks, but it’s creative because they are all together in a clever structure. In addition, it’s a festival-destroyer banger.
I’m absolutely satisfied by the two duos this time.
