MAYKO is back on the Stage Hoppers’ music blog with his latest release, “FOR A MOMENT.” From the start, the new tune carries an ominous tone paired with crisp percussion. Then, the emotive vocal sample that sets the mood as the track erupts develops into a fury of synths and syncopated drums. The momentum continues to build as the track reaches a hardstyle-esque second drop, ramping up the energy. As his second release of 2024, MAYKO is gearing up for a promising few months after hinting at a stockpile of music that is forthcoming!
Give the full track a listen below!
