Allax’s Observatory
Alex is my name, I had the immense pleasure of being a part of the EDM Reviewer staff for the past year. There I became part of an amazing work environment driven by passion and desire to do something more for the music we love. I joined the blog with the goal of bringing
No rating What a year to be alive… So many things are happening in such a short amount of time. Events that make one reflect on what and how much one actually knows about life and/or the people one is surrounded by. These musicians we follow, support, and love are just like us. Humans. Fragile
Another year, another Tomorrowland, another Tomorrowland EP from the bosses Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. Unfortunately, this time we are not really happy with the results: apart of a couple of nice tracks, the selection disappointed us, especially because of the high expectations. Let’s begin! Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs. Hardwell – Unity
Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike are really two guys that attire my attention. They broke into the scene thanks to Swedish House Mafia letting them remixing together ‘Leave The World Behind‘ 10 years ago, then again, thanks to them pushing ‘Wakanda‘ during their One Last Tour, including the legendary Ultra Miami 2013 conclusive set. It
90/100 Fusing light and darkness, embodying emotions and brutality, integrating the lyrics from a love ballad and the punch of a festival destroyer, ‘Gold (Stupid Love)’ by bass music kingpin Excision, and everyone’s favorite melodic champion Illenium has been released. Excision and Illenium have made sure that no one on the Internet could have any
The Hardstyle scene is evolving rapidly as we speak. New artists with incredible skill and technical prowess are constantly popping up in the scene. Among the newcomers, there’s a couple of experienced fellows, with unending dedication and passion for the scene and the music. Dutch Hardstyle legend Joram Metekohy, aka Wildstylez, the Daydreamer, is one
92/100 In many (many!) years of listening to electronic music, I learned to do two important things: to praise consistency and to talk about music after multiple listens. That’s it for my moral speech today, I don’t wanna bore you. After years, Hardwell still impresses me with his festival house works. I’m proud to say
82/100 Man… look at those names together. Doesn’t that title look beautiful? That’s the right word for this monster collaboration (even if a little overused), beautiful. Last fall was an incredible time for electronic dance music as definitely way too many things were going on in our community. But a no-brainer highlight was The Horizon
84/100 The aftermath of Illenium’s Awake album is leaving us, listeners, some amazing new renditions of his works. From a spectrum of remixes of different genres to piano renditions of its emotional vocal pieces, there are reworks for everybody’s tastes. The latest one though may be the most interesting of them all, since it seems
91/100 Putting aside the huge cloud of critical praise around it, Illenium’s Awake album from last year is truly an incredible journey of emotions. “Crawl Outta Love” is easily the most recognizable record out of it, being the last of the singles released out of it and having been Illenium’s astonishing intro for half a
