• Warm atmosphere • Impressive vocal performance • Colorful sequence of percussions Released via Gahara Records, “With You” is what I was hoping for when getting acquainted with MEDUZA… before my hopeful expectations were crushed by listening to the same overused Brazilian Bass formula, over and over again.

• Eerie tonality in the breakdown • Frenzy mix of bassline and growls in the drop • Unpredictable final climax In terms of the originality of its title, “Go Hard” doesn’t score as considerably.
