Last summer, long time DJ Kurd Maverick dropped “Hell Yeah,” a party starting, blood pumping electro effort with chants appropriate for your wildest nights out. Looking to take his track to the next level, Kurd finds rapper Jermaine Dupri to take over his pride production. Dupri takes a role that is less rapper and more MC, supplying the track with lines that have provoked hip-hop club crowds for years. Reinvented, “Hell Yeah” has been released via Spinnin Records as a joint effort between the German producer and hip-hop heavyweight.

Tiesto and Showtek may be opposite in production style, but that hasn’t stopped them from uniting for a maddening new track dubbed “Hell Yeah!.” Tiesto’s big room sound clashes with Showtek’s darker vibe to form a frenetic banger that is transparent through both subgenres. Both producers maintain relevancy on the track, featuring Tiesto’s sound at the prominence and Showtek’s hardstyle at its best – think “Maximal Crazy” on steroids. The unlikely collaboration didn’t make the final cut for Club Life Miami, but would have been one of the better offerings on the compilation. If you’ve been waiting for a harder effort from Tiesto, the day has come – ”Hell Yeah!” is available on Beatport via Musical Freedom.
Editors Note: This track was first previewed during Tiesto’s set at Ultra Music Festival 2012

Kurd Maverick is a German DJ who has been producing music since early 2005. His latest track “Hell Yeah” is his first single of the year and is definitely a pump up song. It starts out light with repeated “Hell Yeah” vocals until about two minutes in when it hits the breakdown. The song reminds us of Aoki’s “I’m in the House” but there are enough differences to make it unique. The track is now available from Spinnin’ Records on Beatport.
