Optimistic. Vibrant. Soaring. As cherry blossoms explode in bloom in the Northern Hemisphere, spring gives way to summer and soon this season's pop anthems will radiate from open car windows out onto the streets. The first pop anthem of summer 2018 will surely be Maarten Vorwerk & Traveler's "Go With Me," out now on VRWRK.
The Original Mix of "Go With Me" doubles as the Radio Edit clocking-in at a clean 03:21 with the kind of perfectly built song only a hit-maker like Maarten Vorwerk can create. An inviting 4/4 beat gives way to a female vocal evocative of Sia's in its phrasing. Traveler and Vorwerk's spare, dissonant horns are a funky build-up to the chorus. This mid-tempo song is easily digested, with a commercial hook that hints at a progressive-house ancestry. The Extended Mix naturally takes more time to arrive at the vocals, and this edit works better in a nightclub setting with its generous intro and outro. The Phynx Remix feels a shade edgier, with a slightly faster tempo and melodic synthesizers as backing chord progressions. A supremely-distorted bassline acts as an aural sneer, a knowing nod to the cool kids who devour the song whole.
About Maarten Vorwerk
Maarten Vorwerk is a prolific Dutch electronic dance music producer with more than 400 tracks in his discography. He is currently based in Aruba and produces under a variety of aliases. Vorwerk is well known among the global elite of today's top DJs and producers and he's the force behind several massive clubland hits for big-name DJs. Earning recognition in the early-aughts with hardstyle productions under his Vorwerk and Jeckyll & Hyde pseudonyms, Vorwerk later veered into the more commercial side of dance music known as EDM as a ghost producer for other clubland stars. In 2007, Vorwerk scored his first "#1" hit in the Netherlands and Poland with "Freefall" under his Jeckyll & Hyde moniker. Soon thereafter, Vorwerk achieved his second "#1" hit in the Netherlands with the song, "Epic," a production with Quintino. A steady stream of Beatport and iTunes "Top 10" and "#1"-charting releases have brand-name DJs beating a path to Vorwerk's studio door.
