While we still might be new to the world of HEDEGAARD, we are feeling deeper and deeper with every release. On our latest visit to OneHundred we are checking out “OneHundred”, the latest from HEDEGAARD, CANCUN?, and Matt Hawk. HEDEGAARD, a prominent figure in Nordic music, gained widespread recognition since his 2011 remix of Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode.” Over the past decade, he has produced major hits such as “Happy Home” and “Twerk It Like Miley,” accumulating an astonishing 1.4 billion streams globally. His success extends to China, where “NYC BABY” and its localized version “BEIJING BABY” secured top spots on the QQ Music EDM Chart. The subsequent singles, “BORED” and “The Ones We Lost,” continued his streak, solidifying his status as the hottest EDM artist in China.
“For me, the perfect cocktail is when friendship and music meet in a song. Our styles as individual artists are very close, so it was a smooth ride working together on ‘OneHundred.’” – HEDEGAARD
“Making ‘OneHundred‘ made me feel charged in every cell. That beat moves forward like hell on wheels, and the sound captures the very essence and enormous power of this unique group of people. OneHundred is a lot more than just a title or a label’s name; It has become an unstoppable movement that I am incredibly proud to be part of. Creating the song with HEDEGAARD and Matt Hawk in the studio felt like we were making a movie. The energy jumping from their fingers on a piano, creating the haunting chords and choir chops blasting out of the speakers, made my job easy, doing the topline. In every aspect of the song, it felt like we were elevating each other through sonic power.” – CANCUN?
“It is a huge privilege to create music with such amazing artists — and great friends at the same time. Our minds are so aligned in our style of music, and we complement each other so well that everything comes together very easily.” – Matt Hawk
