8Fifty is a beast, a track that encapsulates everything good about what fans have come to expect from the label, whilst also showing how the labels sound is evolving. Opening with a cleverly pitched vocal sample that gives the track a great groove from the offset. The first break introduces the reggae vocal that hypes 8Fifty towards the drop. When it does come, it is a massive affair, full of cranking percussion, playful melodies and a roaring synth that is guaranteed to make any fan of Hardwell or Thomas Newson‘s previous music go wild. The track goes into overdrive in the second breakdown, where a gliding riff soon makes way for the now-familiar reggae vocal to return and signify the inevitable explosion of music that is imminent.
