Released 4 Years Ago: Hardwell & KURA – Calavera

Rewind back to 2016 and with ‘Blackout’, ‘Hollywood’, and ‘Run Wild’ all firmly under his belt and gathering acclaim, Hardwell’s year had been massive to say the least, and it was still only March. Following on from those three productions, he teamed up with the brilliant KURA for ‘Calavera’, a big room anthem with a Southern European and Latin style twist.

With chopped up vocal lines, a rolling bass groove and a jittering, shuffling rhythm, ‘Calavera’ combined Hardwell’s signature big room sound with KURA’s exotic vibes to continue their respective stellar runs of form. With KURA’s recent remix of Hardwell & Chris Jones‘Young Again’ it was no surprise that the artists behind ‘Calavera’ here worked in perfect synergy and complemented each other’s sounds perfectly.

Few artists could claim to have released 4 acclaimed tracks in such a short space of time but Hardwell had achieved just this. With the immeasurable help of KURA, ‘Calavera’ further reinforced Hardwell’s incredibly strong start to the year. Both artists were once again set to dominate the dance music landscape this coming year and this track demonstrates a hunger and ambition that few can claim to rival.
