WILL K – The Way

WILL K is back on STMPD RCRDS with ‘The Way’. With Martin Garrix already giving the track a spin in his set a couple of weeks ago it is now time for WILL K to share it with the rest of the world. WILL K: ‘’After writing a bunch of songs I really wanted to come back to my own brand of club music. With the music I send to STMPD, I can always envision Martin dropping it live. For this track once I laid down the bassline, it was already super strong but thought it needed a tight hook and once I wrote the lead the structure was practically there. I wanted to write a banger for the festivals and I think it turned out sick!”
