Turkish artist Ali Bakgor debuts on Nicky Romero‘s Protocol Recordings with his new track “Insincere,” a progressive gem with Vessbroz, featuring J.O.Y. It’s captivating from its cinematic opening notes, with cinematic melodies floating atop undulating, deep progressive basslines. J.O.Y‘s voice gives an emotive edge, while Ali Bakgor and Vessbroz‘s seamless production skills give “Insincere” dancefloor-worthy credentials. Bakgor has earlier remixed the likes of Tujamo or Ofenbach & Feder, while Vessbroz have already collaborated with Juicy M, Chris Willis, and more. They even scored a spot on the Billboard Chart’s Top 40 with their debut album.
