    • Shibui is gone, with same vocal style • Flute, violins, and Big Room leads in the mix • Hard-hitting Psy While I couldn’t admire “Hurricane”, a very predictable bouncy Psy-Big Room style that soon becomes exhausting, I feel that “Coconut” effectively attempted to take a step further. The protagonists on this stage remain the

    • Bass House infused with captivating vocal modulations • Polished bassline accompanied by impactful kicks • Breakdown showcases Cuebrick‘s unique touch Isaac Palmer‘s music is heavily influenced by Bass House, as evident in his previous releases such as “Pressure” and “Inception” (his debut on Maxximize Recordings alongside Tony Junior).

    • Bouncy drop, then usually Blasterjaxx stuff • Brazilian atmosphere not fully explored • Catchy vocal with lots of dynamism There are some positives. The bouncy drop and familiar Blasterjaxx style are sure to please their fans. The vocal is also catchy and dynamic. However, the potential of the Brazilian atmosphere is not fully explored,

    • Unexpectedly melodic • Similarity to Blasterjaxx’s recent sound • A nod to Dubstep roots with a Hardstyle touch Here’s the thing: I wasn’t anticipating such a melodic anthem from Gammer, as the British moniker is mainly known for his twisted, fierce dubstep hits. His latest EP, “Better Together“, traverses the style from this versatile

    After receiving sizeable number of requests to publish my opinions on the “Mystica Chapter 2”, it was during writing it that I realized about broadening the scope towards a more generic overview towards Blasterjaxx’s work this year.

Well if you happen to be curious

    • Incredible fuse of genres • Ear-candy vocals, memorable lyrics • Unexpected team-up of two titans Expecting collaboration of this magnitude wasn’t in my mind, at all.
