Revealed ADE Sampler [Part 2]

October 13, 20173 min read

Since Hardwell presented the Revealed Vol. 8 today, I felt it was time to finish the second part of the label ADE Sampler.

Unfortunately, the second half was a bit disappointing, I hope to not hurt anybody’s feelings. Music is subjective.

 

Dirty Ducks & JuicyTrax – Equinoxe

87\100


Do I even need to say that Dirty Ducks made another super tune?
Seriously, this Italian trio is on fire!
“Equinox”, together with JuicyTrax (glad to finally see them on Revealed, they deserve it!) is the classic rude/brutal/aggressive electro banger, I loved it!
The pre-drop is superlative, the melody is fresh, the Dirty Ducks lead is dirtier than ever, it’s a frenetic song that hypnotized me. The complex drop is incredible, I definitively fell in love with the melody. Astonishing and professional production.

AWIIN – SWANG

83\100


I’m not a big fan of bass house, but “SWANG” definitively impressed me. I like the choice to include it in the EP, it added more flexibility, being the most original and innovative release.
Awiin made a crazy drop, powerful and aggressive, with an extremely catchy melody.
It’s hypnotic and with a particular kick, I loved how the young talent shared an actually creative idea!
My personal problem with bass house is that I rarely find creative productions, but thanks to AWIIN this time we have a rare gem.
This was the “surprise” of the sampler, a creative and interesting dark banger. I’m glad that people appreciated it, it was a surprise!

Nightro & Domeno – Locura

60\100


I’m glad to see Nightro on Revealed, and the Domeno comeback, but “Locura” didn’t leave me ANYTHING particular. I wasn’t impressed by any detail, and I honestly don’t have very much to say. A forgettable tune, unfortunately.
“Locura” is a normal big room song, I was expecting something more particular and unique from both artists but it didn’t happen. What a shame…

Nick Double & Chasner – NLX

65\100

Same “Locura” situation.
Those two tracks were unlucky enough to come last, so I was already bored by the electro drops, that are catchy, but you can’t make half the sampler sounds the same!
Luckily Nick Double is here with his characteristic kick and Chasner made some super vocal distortions, so “NLX” is pretty nice, thanks to its catchy rhythm… Still, I’m not happy to hear the electro “Maddix/Olly James” style drop in four songs over ten.

That’s not the artists’ fault, the quality is high, but of Revealed. Bad songs choice, there isn’t very much differentiation and this detail ruined the last two tracks in my case. I was in a oversaturated mood!
Apart from a couple of interesting gems, the sampler of this year has been quite forgettable. I’m not fully satisfied, but I still need to congratulate with the artists, there are a lot of new entries and potentialities!
