Bryan Kessler '10,000 Suns' (Numbers)
This percussion-heavy bouncer will almost certainly give you a much-needed bit of pep during a marathon party session. The energy that pumps out from every layer of this track is contagious and guaranteed to get those feet stomping and hips swinging. Just past the two-and-a-half minute mark, there’s a show-stopping breakdown, which leads into the main part of the track and the drumming continues with aplomb – big and bashy all the way. It’s one of those big guns you can just imagine Numbers bossman Jackmaster dropping during one of his sets to a sea of fist pumps. Towards the end, Bryan introduces a buzzsaw-esque layer to add depth to this banger.
