'When You Hit It' is the vibrant bass house from two of the scene's most versatile Dutch producers, Vito Mendez, and Don Cartel.

The two show their adaptability stunningly on this record, blending a light-hearted drum pattern with some ear-splitting hardstyle synth work upon the drop, creating a soundscape that is as impressive as it is unique. Although Cartel was born in Colombia, the renowned selector was raised in Amsterdam, which is evident in this record. Cartel forgets his roots and joins forces with Dutch native Mendez to create an undeniably Dutch hardstyle anthem that fits any dancefloor across Amsterdam and the rest of Europe.

Vito Mendez is an upcoming Dutch producer and DJ who isn't even close to reaching the peak of his powers at the tender age of 24. Mendez started DJing in 2011 at just the age of 14 after being exposed to trance music through friends and family at a young age; skip to 2022, and Mendez is slowly but surely making his name in the illustrious yet cut-throat EDM scene. Mendez blends energetic dance music with hints of moombahton and hardstyle, manufacturing a unique and original sound. Through this sound, Mendez has played to huge crowds worldwide and worked with his mentor Sidney Samson and ‘Cannonball’ producer Justin Prime.

Don Cartel, as mentioned, has his roots in Latin America and Bogota, Colombia, to be exact; however, he was raised and still resides in the wonderful Amsterdam, which has undoubtedly affected his musical prowess. Cartel had his big break in 2018 and 2019 when he released 'Lupa' and 'Control Your Body' on Spinnin' Records. Since then, Cartel has consistently released new music, mastered his craft and worked with huge names like DJ Jean, Carnage and The Partysquad.

Boys wanna have fun too
Wild hearts, neon view
Touch fire, no taboo
Boys wanna have fun too

Flashing lights, we’re untamed
No fear, no names
Heat rises, pulse game
Boys just wanna play

Body heat, electric glue
Every move feels brand new

Boys wanna have fun too
Lose the rulebook, break through
No chains, no shame, it’s true
Boys wanna have fun too

Boys wanna, boys wanna
Boys wanna have fun too
And maybe boys
don't need girls
to have fun

Hands up, feel the burn
Take turns, no return
Eyes talk, no words
We crash, we learn

Body heat, electric glue
Every move feels brand new

Boys wanna have fun too
Lose the rulebook, break through
Touch me, I touch you
Boys wanna have fun too

Boys wanna have fun too (Euro EDM reload)
