Big-room house is supposed to be dead, someone forgot to tell 2ACES. All Night is unapologetic festival fare off Revealed, the kind of track engineered for a specific moment when the sun’s going down and forty thousand people put their hands up at once. The vocal hook is enormous and slightly generic in the way these things always are, but the build into the drop at 1:20 is executed so cleanly that I stopped caring about originality halfway through. There’s a craft to making something this maximal without it collapsing into cheese, and these two thread that needle better than most of the Revealed roster. The drop is all sawtooth stabs and a kick you feel in your sternum, engineered with the subtlety of a fireworks display and about as much fun. Big-room lives or dies on whether the producer commits, and 2ACES commit completely. Not everything needs to be clever. Sometimes you just want to feel like the drop is happening to you personally.
