The fourth single from Justin Hawkes' debut album Existential is here: The quintessentially American 'Better Than Gold', featuring Justin's uncle Andrew Hellier on the vocals, and Justin's dad on the strings...

[@KGT89]

family business

[@EmperorNeedJrOfficial]

Seriously this song is definitely worth to be the in-game soundtrack and the trailer song of the new NEED FOR SPEED game!! If the story will be playing in the fictional Chicago!!

YO! This is amazing to see your reactions to this track, I'm so glad you guys are liking it 🤠 When you do something as dangerous as mix DNB with country...it could end up being ridiculously fun haha...That's how it was when I made this tune!! Big up everybody, have a fucking wonderful day

[@touriel8943]

time for DnB to get down with it's RnR roots!

[@patrickswayze5580]

Full effect.

[@jackslater409]

You guys enjoying this - have look at "Pendulum live at Brixton" thank me later

[@valdnb]

It just working so much ! the 2nd verse made me jumpin around my room, in France, great tune !! GG

[@touriel8943]

@@jackslater409 point. Pendulum's electric guitar riffs (e.g The Tempest) do have that rock vibe. I often lurch back into 'Biker dance' mode (vis Jungle Jungle Rock) at peak moments!

[@au5music]

I'm so glad to hear music reach this point

[@leafamphii.]

Ikr? I don't listen to Justin Hawkes that much but dang, this track bangs.

[@involute2831]

Seeing one of my favourite artists commenting on the video of another... Trying to cause a black hole, having this much talent in one place?

[@adamsobczyk7618]

Agree it’s top level :) 🎉

[@theofficialunofficial7805]

what? this is garbage, i was like what is this, skimmed through. what? . mt eden, datsik. it has turned to garbage now lol. its spurred from these genres, now a rock song to a dnb mix? , auti5tic music for sure hahaha

[@rextotten]

Amen.

This might be my new 2024 favorite song,not gonna lie🤔 Damn 😤😤

[@badabooom]

Legit..... Best dnb track I've heard in a long fucking time. Now.... I need Tyler Childers to jump on board. Cause that shiz would be bangin!!

[@bennson13]

Goosebumps, god damn. Bold move to mix these genres, I'd never expected it to have such a good synergy

[@The_NSeven]

Absolutely. Goosebumps

[@rubberduck9zilla]

Reminds me of old Pendulum

[@Hydruss443]

A perfect blend of Classic Rock, Country & DnB. I never thought this would work at all, but somehow it does. Amazingly well made, and imo one of Justin’s best. Also this dude’s family is insanely musically talented lmao. I can see where he gets it from.

[@EyeAmOne]

At first I thought Spotify was bugging out when it played me this. Really glad I didn't skip. Banger of a tune.

[@meertjedebest]

Same😂

[@marijusambrozas]

Not only this is an amazingly masterful combination of genres but this also has to be one of the cleanest, crispiest mixes I've heard in some time. Pure awesomeness.

[@supersirenia]

SO CRUNCHYYY

[@b.benmeziane6716]

This needs to be on a racing game ASAP ❤

[@redbaron5308]

I would LOVE to hear @dudeperfect use this in one of their vids Edit: so used to other socials though the @would work lol

[@Hopeman__TM]

dont forget his dad on the strings :D

[@labarecords]

Yeah

[@khiemho1106]

😂

[@RVFFICA]

WE WANT MORE COUNTRY BASS! If this becomes a Genre I'm all for it 😂

[@liquidbeagle82]

Original, clean, and clearly full of heart. You just set a new standard with this shit.

[@komaytoprime]

The D&B part of this scratches an itch in my brain that I didn't even know I had.

[@フェイリス-d7l]

Family works best together, and this right here IS THE PRIME EXAMPLE of what family can come together to produce. Unreal piece of music.

[@U-Trance]

Lyrics: Sometimes when the going gets tough You gotta look at your friends beside you Every now and then, send a prayer up 'Cause the devil's two steps behind you And count your lucky stars That trouble don't come and find you So step into the ring brother Crack another smile There's only gonna be one standing When I'm through You walk the lonely road But you'll be fine 'Cause these bright lights are better than gold I would never let go Try hard to find my way Through and through This time doing better than you know Nobody's gonna stop the show Look what you made me do Look what you made me do So you thought that, apparently This town just wasn't big enough, well Now that makes two of us, so Put 'em up and pray You walk the lonely road And look at you now Yeah, these bright lights are better than gold I would never let go Try hard to find my way Through and through This time doing better than you know Nobody's gonna stop the show Look what you made me do Look what you made me do

[@codyderickson0]

you the real MVP

[@tarmekmusic]

awessome

[@BMDProduction]

You forgot some.... It goes... Massive drop Mind bending pffft duuuuud duuuuud duuuuuuummm suuuuuuuudddddd duuuuuuuffffttttt Just thought everyone would like to know that bit too as they go into a dribbling mess of pulsating headbanging and wonder why....

[@_XVIII_]

"Oh, I listen to everything (except country)." "...This is an exception."

[@Benzo97]

This. This is what keeps me listening to this genre! It can get fatiguing after a bit, but once something like this goes out... It's so musically refreshing that even though it's still my favourite genre, I end up forgetting the fact that I'm listening to a DnB song (if that makes sense)

[@bobabola3399]

True

[@liftYAHusha]

Agreed!

[@mrguy9118]

Gotta sift through all the nonmelodic garbo to find good ones like these. Call Me Back by Logistics is another gem.

[@Woolie]

absolutely sick tune wtf

[@djgyrad]

It is SOO! nice to see a mash-up of Rock with Drum & Bass, USA and UK genres collaborating, and this was ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS to listen to for the first time. It's so amazing to listen to. You have heavy hitting Rock intro, with the little spec of build up in the beginning and then just WOAH ... 🥳 then drops the D&B, and the bass is just ♥👌absolutely 10/10 for this. It's my favourite track/song of the year. Very well done Justin and Andrew. I hope to hear this at a festival one day.

Yet another example of why DnB is so versatile. With it mixing so well with House, Trance, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, Soul, and now Country 😆

Justin, I am completely blown away! What a great song! Rock, country and obviously your signature too. Proud of you! Greetings from mother of Mats, Holland

[@salteeofficial]

As a country boy, the title "Better Than Gold" describes this one perfectly. Incredible blend of styles by Justin (and his family). Blew my mind the first time I heard it. Tune of the year, hands down.

[@ser5ver]

My two favourite genres in one song?? I'm so thankful to be alive right now!!!
