Label: Titanic
Catalog#: TTC073
Released: 21 October 2011
Style: Hardstyle

As if they work in a cookie factory, last year, the guys from TNT have been delivering tracks with the speed of light. Again and again they manage to surprise me with their delicious treats in form of some amazingly professional sounding tracks. This week Technoboy and Tuneboy again added another cookie to their jar and increased the size of their already gigantic and impressive discography. Let's see if the Club Shock anthem can meet up to my high expectations.

The track starts off with a familiar sounding voice which we know from tracks as Tritolo and Catfight. I really like the Brittish accent and the 'bitchness' this lady has. While she reads us from the dictionary, explaining what a shock exactly is ("Something that jars the mind or emotions as if with a violent unexpected blow") the midintro builds up and simple but amazingly clear sound is flying through my speakers. We're off! If you know TNT I probably don't have to explain that the kicks they make are always from some very high quality and are always amazingly intense. I have always been a fan of Saifam tracks, not in the last place for their incredible clear sounding tracks. The midintro of this track is no exception. I must say that if you hear this part of the track you wouldn't think there is too much going on. Ok there's that sound, there's that kick and that's it right?. But I think the simplicity and the finess of this part of the track really does make you want to move. And then there's that tension that is letting you feel that something really special is coming up. I must say that this is a very smart build up to an incredible climax.

The climax is being introduced by our beloved brittish chick and some atomspheric sounds that, again, really give you the feeling that you will be satisfied very soon. And yes there it is! BAM! A melody that makes you want to grab the very next person next to you and kiss her on the face! It's extremely euphoric, extremely uplifting and extremely well done by the guys of TNT. I immediately remember that moment when I was in the Heineken Music Hall 2 weeks ago when I saw 5000 people going completely nuts on this climax. While the kick trembles through your chest, the melody gives you a smile from ear to ear. It is not the first time TNT manages to bring so much power with their tracks and that is definitely why I am such a big fan of them. I think one of the main reasons for listening to hardstyle is because you want it to give you a lot of positive energy. This track really shoves a big ball of energy up your throat! Great stuff, really! I think the owners of the Club Shock in Italy can be very very very satisfied with an anthem like this. Falling to their knees and kiss the guys from TNT on their feet would be the least they could do to thank them for such great promotion. I have never been to Club Shock but this track definitly makes my wonder why the hell not!?

I think I made myself pretty clear: Go buy this release as soon as it comes out in your favourite Music Download Store!
