Hardwell has certainly taken a new direction with his new rock infused track ‘Sally'. Perhaps he is following in the steps of Avicii, trying to fuse dance music with a more mainstream vibe. Some dance fans are even saying the track sounds a lot like the throwback hit ‘Scotty Doesn't Know'.
One thing's for sure though, Deadmau5 was quick to comment on the controversial track.
if youre "gunna do something different" just name the rest of your tracks sally from here on out, coz fuck them too.

We all knew Joel wouldn't miss a chance to knock the mainstream EDM industry. A video of his “reaction” as he listens to ‘Sally' for the first time has been circulating the internet. Although it appears the video was edited by a fan and isn't 100% real, we're sure Deadmau5 would have had a similar, if not same, reaction. Watch below.
