Wippenberg is better known for his unique remixes of Super8 & Tab ‘Needs to Feel’ and Cosmic Gate ‘Should’ve Known’ than his own productions, but with his new record ‘Chakalaka’ it looks as though he’s on the verge of solo breakthrough.

‘Chakalaka’ is in fact the seventh single release from the German producer, but with massive support from the likes of DJ Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond, Sander van Doorn, Marco V and Lange, his latest offering is already destined to be a massive hit.

Wippenberg describes ‘Chakalaka’ as an “oldschool-nuschool-hyper-elekto-über-prog-trancer-hymn with a goose bumps melody” and it certainly crosses enough sub-genres for Marcel Woods to include the track on his new mash-up mix compilation ‘Musical Madness’.

Uplifting yet somehow dark at times, ‘Chakalaka’ is a captivating record with a tense build up which leads to an epic techy breakdown and a very memorable melody that you can’t help but hum along to (see this YouTube video for evidence).
