It’s been two years since Chris Lake and Michael Woods got together for a collaboration track since releasing ‘Dominos‘ back in 2010 and you have to wonder what took so long.

The track delivers an epic piano melody, building to an intense drop of pounding bass and squeaky synths. The track does not disappoint.

2012 has been a breakout year for the NYC based producing duo, Hyperbits. After some highly supported bootlegs and remixes like Zedd vs. Norin & Rad ‘Clarity Bloom’ and Muses ‘Starlight’ which peaked at #6 on the HypeM charts, their original debut ‘Move’ made it to the top 50 in the world on the Beatport progressive house charts.
Now, Hyperbits is taking their productions to new heights with ‘Bahaha’, an original collaboration with long time mega-duo, Filo & Peri. With a unique string based lead reminiscent of Sander Van Doorn in his prime, this track is also able to maintain a hard hitting disposition comparable to the likes of Michael Woods or Hardwell. This is a must download and a solid offering to begin 2013. Hyperbits is giving this away as a free download so make sure to like them on Facebook, follow on Twitter, and listen on Soundcloud!
