REVIEW: Fedde Le Grand - Monsta out on Darklight / Armada


Fedde Le Grand is kicking off 2018 with his latest offering, ‘Bump ‘N Shake (Monsta)’. Out via self-made label, Darklight Recordings, the Dutch legend is starting as he means to go on with this funk-filled floor filler.

True to its name, 'Bump 'N Shake (Monsta)' is a lively groove that tips its hat to funky house music and garage. An unmistakable nod to the true Le Grand groove that fans have come to know and love. With an array of bass notes bouncing underneath the vocal sample and a percussive breakdown, the track comes as a breath of fresh air. Receiving global support from industry heavyweights Afrojack, David Guetta, Oliver Heldens and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, to name a few, ‘Bump ‘N Shake’ has been heating up dance floors the world over since its release.

With the full vocal version ‘Monsta’, Fedde takes the track to a complete other level, lacing the funk-driven track with a smooth female vocal that transforms the track into a radio-ready creation. With an energetic video accompaniment in the works by The Fire Dance Crew, fans should expect the official music video to drop next week. 

Having just rocked Ministry Of Sound in London, and with a slew of global tour dates already penned, including ULTRA Music Festival’s 20th Anniversary, this is only the very beginning of another prolific year for the Dutch luminary.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Fedde Le Grand is a workaholic who can not stop producing monster tunes. His full female vocal version of Bump N' Shake transforms the original funky naughty track from hip house groover into a mainstream pop dance friendly version with vocals that stuck in your mind and spanking cut up beats and wobbly basslines to shake, jerk and move your body totally and utterly free enjoying the moment that house music can make you go wild. Now with the vocal version there is no excuse not to include this tune in the daytime radio playlists. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
