Will Sparks & Maddix Team Up For Party-Ready Bounce/Hardstyle Single “Mangalam”
Will Sparks and Maddix deliver a hard-hitting fusion of bounce, hardstyle and tribal rhythms on their new collaboration “Mangalam” for Carnage’s Heavyweight Records. Sparks first became well known as a leader in the Melbourne bounce genre and that influence is clearly heard in “Mangalam”‘s upbeat kick drums, but it’s the layered complexity of intense basslines and a tribal vocal riff that gives the track its name make it a real stand out. This release follows Will’s singles “Tombstone” with SCNDL on Monstercat and “Flakka Flakka” on Armada Music. This is his first collaboration with talented newcomer Maddix, who has worked with Hardwell on collaborative “Smash This Beat” and “Bella Ciao” singles. “Mangalam” is a word that signifies good fortune in Sanskrit, and we’re sure that it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy by firing up dance floors around the globe.

Australian DJ and producer Will Sparks made waves in the dance music circuit in 2014 when his single “Ah Yeah So What” became an international hit. That year Sparks was named No. 1 Australian DJ, “Best Breakthrough Artist” by inthemix, and was included in Billboard’s “10 Young EDM Stars to Watch” list, making him a household name for anyone in-the-know. The iconic party track “Ah Yeah So What” was included in Zac Efron’s music themed drama film “We Are Your Friends” as well as The Rock’s hit TV series “Ballers” and became the basis for his catchy, bouncy signature sound. Sparks proved himself far from a one-hit-wonder, going on to release tracks on major labels like Sony Music, Ultra Records, Armada and Spinnin’ and creating remixes for Major Lazer, The Chainsmokers, Robin Thicke, Iggy Azalea, Laidback Luke and Hardwell. His live performances are known to drive crowds into a frenzy at festivals such as Tomorrowworld, Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, Stereosonic and Future Music Festival. Up-and-coming Dutch producer Maddix is building a formidable name for himself early on by remixing Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding’s “Outside”, Sick Individuals’ “Alive” and collaborating with Hardwell, Timmy Trumpet, Olly James and Kris Kiss. Adding “Mangalam” to his resume only promises more energetic tunes from this young artist. Keep an eye out for more new music from Will Sparks, Maddix and Heavyweight Records in 2019!

Tensteps is here with another compelling production off his upcoming album. The sixth and final single before the album releases in full, “Paradise Tonight” is a striking new track released in collaboration with Sendr, featuring the vocals of Robin Vane. Set for release via Andrew Rayel’s label Find Your Harmony, “Paradise Tonight” is a powerful reminder why Tensteps’ signature style and sound is one to follow closely as he gears up to release his highly anticipated album ‘Infinite’ on October 6.
Speaking about the collaboration, Tensteps says:
“When Alex (Sendr) first sent me his draft of the track, it gave me a healthy dose of nostalgia. The whole track felt like it had all these elements of progressive house and progressive trance that I loved when I was first really getting into dance music -those Audien/Arty/2010’s Anjunabeats kind of vibes. There was no way I could turn down the collaboration on this, and I immediately got to work building it out and making everything sound as full and luscious as possible.”
“Paradise Tonight” features the signature emotive vocals of Robin Vane, a singer-songwriter from The Netherlands who has several impressive collaborations in his catalogue, including productions with Armin van Buuren and Omnia. With songs that have surpassed 7 million plays on streaming platforms and have reached the well-known Beatport Top 10, Robin Vane is a top-tier talent in electronic music, and his inclusion in this new release adds a vibrant layer of colour into the mix.
About his work with Robin Vane, Tensteps mentions:
“I wrote the topline for this song myself, and when we met Robin, it was clear he was the right choice to bring it to life. He’s got such a unique voice that added so much warmth and character to the song.”
“Paradise Tonight” features a bouncy low end and a pounding, fervent beat that starts off the track, as a growling acid bassline and driving rhythms build the intensity. The captivating vocals of Robin Vane hold the focus, taking listeners into the breakdown where atmospheric pads, anthemic details, and intensifying elements guide into the drop where massive supersaws complete the vibe, providing a high-energy climax to the track.
This new release from Tensteps proves his skills and talents as a producer, showcasing his top-notch production and earworm, Pop-infused songwriting. With a momentum that is sure to continue as he releases his debut full-length album next month, Tensteps is raising the bar and quickly making a name for himself in the dance music scene.
