W&W are back with "Jump Jump Jump," teaming up with ItaloBrothers and Captain Curtis to drop a peaktime festival bomb. At a blistering BPM of 152, it's a vocal-driven four-on-the-floor anthem that ushers in festival season with a euphoric banger for the mainstage. The track's undeniable highlight, however, is its quaking drop, where hyperactive synths and a pumping bassline collide and soar through its uplifting arrangement. Here, the trio of W&W, ItaloBrothers and Captain Curtis manage

The trajectory taken by Sam Walker and Gavin Royce has been defined by rebellion. Not long after beginning their partnership as Walker & Royce, the New York-based house music duo aimed to shake up the industry by eschewing the no-nonsense undercurrents of the time to share a more quirky, out-of-the-box sound. Soon enough, the whistles, wobbles and trills that accompanied their blaring basslines became synonymous with the avant-garde productions cooked up by the pair. After partnering with th
