Building layer upon layer of tribal drums and a barrage of warped guitars, the record reaches zenith with a lone vocal command, before launching into a blood-pumping drop. Taking it way down to zero for the breakdown, the track makes a U-turn and introduces unexpected, but bliss disco leads with euphoric 70s-tinged guitars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The track departs the groovy midsection to build the track up with searing synths and frenetic snares. The familiar vocal command hits again before we get kicked back into an enormous adrenaline-riddled, hands-in-the-air grand finale. By showcasing the fierce production of Romero merged with the colourful sense of melody by Christian, the payoff is a stadium-sized banger that will do some serious damage at festivals this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n[vc_video link=&#8217;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L_101PZ9ljo&#8217;]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Label boss Nicky Romero and multi-instrumentalist John Christian join forces once again for the energetic new anthem \u2018Iconic\u2019, out now on Protocol Recordings!
