On the heels of a strong 2013, Damn Kids is starting the year off with his first release in 4 months, and it has definitely been worth the wait. With the huge track Damn Kids – Absalom (Original Mix), he comes through with a big room rotation that sways off of the path of his previous productions, and sees the aim targeted directly at the dance floor.

Rolling drums introduce Absalom with rising percussion before wayfaring into a build up filled with synth and sub bass layering that you wouldn’t expect from the man who traditionally avoids standard production terms such as ‘melody’. An overdriven kick that will literally pummel systems forges the drop, where stabbed out synth percussion shows the trademark Damn Kids production technique, as synths blend into pitched vocal chop arrangements and fast hitting horns. Break 2 reverts to the initial builds pace, and motions up towards to a snare roll that evidently reveals that a trapped out drop is imminent, featuring large 808 kick drums, sharp hi hats and snare rolls to round Absalom out as a huge tune guaranteed to turn up any dance floor.
