• Effective with simplistic means • Hybrid of both tech and bass elements • Lesser innovations in the schematic Being a well-known label, Hysteria unfortunately suffers from a disease impeding its true marketing potential: bad artworks.

• Yes, Rawstyle! • Rave influences on a Rawstyle track? • Glitchy elements fits perfect with the badass melody Rawstyle is perhaps one of the trendier subgenres in the hard scene right now, and taking this opportunity amply well, iMVD and Killouz have jumped on bandwagon to bring us, surprisingly, a tune laden with rave

• Heart-warming melody • Usual structure but effective • Kody’s performance is memorable Giving me a lot of love-or-hate feelings, Progressive House has rarer reasons nowadays to be invested in entirely. However, there are tracks now and then which click instantly with the mind and heart, and “Love Again” falls in that category. It is

• FHC influenced structure • Clever workings in the lead synths • Standardized vocal presence Some forty-eight hours ago, I revealed about my “listener’s block” and how it is struggling to find anything interesting to write about the big, important releases that come in great numbers every Friday or so.

• Zesty vocal performance • Energetic and pulsating drop • Mixed feelings after conclusion After a few months on not updating myself to newest offerings from Different Records’ catalog, the reason solely being the tracks didn’t convince me entirely (with some exceptions, of course).

• Classic Revealed signature schema • Tech house leaning beat • Groovy and efficient drop Yes, the often talked about sub-imprint of Revealed is back in action! This time, they are offering a record from Sebastian Mateo and DJ St3v3, and both are familiar faces in the roster. Surprisingly, this marks as the fifth collaboration

• A classic brought back to life • Bass House arrangements with dynamic elements • Short yet effective production We are in a point of history where nearly every electronic artist seems to be doing lazy reworks of either modern hits or yesterday’s evergreen, just to accumulate further attention (and royalty) by getting placed on

• Future House meets Future Bass • Predictable yet effective sound-selection • Helping a great cause in the process (read below) I rarely happen to feature releases older than two weeks, so that our content is more up-to-date, but today I am satisfyingly making yet another exception. “Pass Me By” from Jake & Alvar comes
