• Clever lyricism in vocal delivery • Slower and elegant melodic hook • Calming features such as piano Let’s start this review by congratulating George Redwood for his magnificent performance, given the brutal competitiveness existing in the saturated domains of Progressive House genre nowadays. It seems quality vocal delivery alongside meaningful lyricism is perhaps the
• 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. Extremely forgettable, it poses a problem as this label actually publishes quality records and obviously focused on quality over
• Delicate and stunning composition • The magic is in the details • OMG, I love that guitar! Almost forty eight hours ago, we asked the audience to suggest a track for review, and two of them were selected due to greater amount of likes. The final decision was made by the members of our
• 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
• Quality tune with commonplace schematics • Emotional and energetic vocal • Noticeable influences from Matisse & Sadko As the Spanish electronic artists are rising in number holistically, their genres of preference seems to favour both Future and Progressive domains of House music, gaining expertise from similarities they brought from top artists. “Something”, today’s selection,
• 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. I also mentioned about “exceptions”,
• 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). After this, I decided to take a look on what they
• Finally, Happy Hardcore in NCS! • Similar drops without scarce of energy • Superb vocal presence with variety in lyricism Today’s review is the consequence of a dilemma I had with two other songs, as I was tempted to review the new Afrojack & David Guetta collaboration (and I expected the unexpected) along with
• 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
• Romantic lyrics, contrasting vocal pitch • Piano melody is simply, a plus • Effective drop, emotional breakdown It has been much time since I talked about any particular musical output from my native country. Spanish scene seems to be on another edge this year, as I must admit that a lot of the producers
• Bass House drop with Liquid Trap and Hard Trap twists • Brutal, experimental creation with an insane amount of stamina • Very “out-of-the-box”; handle with care! LORE is an enigmatic name who has been under our radar for a long time. His music is mostly uploaded to SoundCloud, while three from his offering catalogue
• Progressive House with robust features • Lighthearted breakdown, energetic drop • Well complementing vocal presence Progressive House remains as a preferred genre for me, even if it has been struck with mundane schematics, as more producers are opting for copy-pasted, predictive structures that doesn’t dare experiment (say, having a pinch of aggressiveness). “Clubs are
• Emotional breakdown that suddenly gets “tainted” • Darker twist on the drop • Complex, experimental melody It has been a while since I discussed about Steven Vegas; a couple of years ago, he was soaring as one of shining stars signed on Revealed Recordings. Soon afterwards came his hiatus, which he broke in the
• Dark, eerie atmosphere with Halloween elements • Frenetic, almost obsessive melody • Experimental take, available also as “Ice Mix” (Slower version) Well, this song is from the previous year and I am making a huge exception to our motif of not discussing any contemporary releases older than 14 days (in order to give more
• Spanish ballad in-between two heavy drop • Interesting dynamic made with fast and slow rhythms • Simpler formula, creative application It has become an antic for me to often joke with my Spanish colleagues, who are naturally biased on reviewing artists from their nation… Well would you look at me now, reviewing “Matador”! Thankfully,
• Ambitious début from a new, unknown name • Sweet and emotional vocal presence • Dreamy atmosphere, highly appreciated This review is sort of shot in the dark, as I have little to no idea about who Mavela is: his social media presence has just embarked with a début on Bedroom Movement imprint. I sympathize
• Upbeat and playful • Usual but refreshing Future Bass structure • Well curated and ear-candy elements Russian alias Neyroboy is a personage that immediately caught my eyeballs with his peculiar oddities, as well as an entertaining production titled “Perfect Life”.
