The titans of electronic dance music join forces via Nicky Romero and W&W‘s new track “Hot Summer Nights,” their highly anticipated mainstage anthem. Opening with sultry vocals and soaring melodies, Romero and W&W quickly up the ante with big room-inspired basslines and the sensible energy of progressive house music. Just like the title predicts, the track is a testament to those nights that will go down in history, dancing with beautiful friends and strangers all on the same vibe-to live in the moment and hope the night never ends. Both Nicky and W&W have been playing it in their sets this summer, e.g., at Tomorrowland, where Romero brought his Dutch fellow duo on stage as a surprise guests, so the official release of “Hot Summer Nights” is one the fans have been waiting for. Nicky Romero and W&W have previously collaborated on 2018’s “Ups & Downs” (34M+ streams on Spotify) on Protocol and last year’s “We’re Still Young (15M+ streams) on W&W‘s Rave Culture, so “Hot Summer Nights” makes their 3rd collaboration ever.
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as “Legacy” with Krewella and the #1 single “I Could Be The One” with Avicii, Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collaborations with Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki to remixes for the likes of Robin Schulz, Kygo, Rita Ora, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. While showcasing his label’s roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to innovate and evolve, and with his annual “Nicky Romero & Friends” ADE showcase and the launch of Monocule alter-ego, he keeps proving his ability to turn into gold everything he touches.
