It's time to once again consider Bad Boy Records as one of the greatest pools of talent in the history of modern music. As EDM and R&B prepare to collide in order to create the future of dance-as-pop, it's not just Disclosure recording with Mary J. Blige that should be of note regarding the legacy of Sean Combs' iconic label. Rather, it's when that influence spreads to tracks like the 2014 big-room electro revamping of 16-year-old Faith Evans single "Love Like This" (available for purchase now) by Australia's Tommy Trash and Tampa-to-LA DJ/producer Henry Fong for Hardwell's Revealed imprint that eyebrows should be raised. Glitchy and scintillating, for party mashers like DJ Mag don Hardwell who aren't likely quite yet to head down the deep house rabbit hole, this makes things soulful yet still fire-powered.
