it's not because it sucks guys. it sounds really different live. if you have heavy bass-y high definition sound systems this really sounds way better. i heard this live and i swear, everybody is bouncing, even the groundskeepers bouncin.
all that complains about this, never heard this live but only listen to youtube music. lol. i heard this live at ultra and it is extremely good i tell you.

I just want to say this tracks is OK but for the people who says this is terrible or Alesso is changing style.
This is the combination of his other sound (Payday, Tear The Roof Up,) and his new experimental music.
I think its really nice to see he is working something different than his beatiful melodic tracks.

I love the blend of the sounds here. Some deep house synths, with that vintage electro feel. I love when creatives blend totally different things to create something totally new. Good job Alesso!!!
