Listen to 6 track previews off of Hardwell's upcoming album "United We Are"

/

Hardwell's long anticipated album is out this Friday on iTunes. Take a listen to all track previews below: 

Tracklist: 

I managed to get a preview of this album and decided that these 3 are my top 3 picks: 

  1. United We Are (Feat. Amba Shepherd)
  2. Echo (Feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn)
  3. Let Me Be Your Home (Feat. Bright Lights)

"Eclipse" gets a nod for being the only instrumental track on the album. I personally wished to hear more instrumental tracks on the album, but that's just me. 

"United We Are" will be available this Friday on iTunes. 

What happens after the Guvernment closes? Ink has big plans for the Sound Academy

/

Charles Khabouth, the CEO of Ink Entertainment, told Thump about the future of Toronto's Sound Academy post-Guvernment:

“Sound Academy is going to be, in my mind, the next generation of clubbing. That means everything―the layout, the sound and lighting, technology and the overall comfort,” he said. “I recently had a big meeting [about the comfort,] making sure that there’s enough washrooms, enough air conditioning, and enough ventilation. But for the sound and lighting, we’re going to go all out―making sure it’s spectacular.”
Charles is confident that the new vision for the yet-to-be-named space will wow guests and describes it as “somewhere in 2020... not just sitting on a new couch next to a new paint job.”
