• Usual Da Tweekaz sound, but softer and predictable • Vocal is uninspiring and annoying • Lacks the freshness of their previous work Once again, we have a R3HAB collaboration, and once again, Da Tweekaz venture into the more mainstream side of Hardstyle following the successful “Lambada” with Tony Junior and “Wasabi” with Blasterjaxx. As
Today’s review features two standout tracks from Ekonovah’s EP: the title track “Vibrant” and the equally impressive “Best of Me.” Both tracks offer a unique listening experience, and their backstory is worth sharing.

• Of course, a rework. And a follow-up of “Thank You” • Eminem’s hit transformed into a Festival mix • Gabry Ponte added a spark of vitality to the drop Here we go again: the trademark DV&LM mega collab, often accompanied by super famous names and perceived as lacking substance… Except, this time, it’s different.
• Unpredictable 4B Vibes • The protagonist is indeed the bass • The secret is the vocal and… Let’s take a moment to appreciate the journey of 4B, one of the most eclectic producers in the scene. With a decade of career under his belt, he’s amassed an impressive array of fresh sounds, collaborated with

But before we declare our favorite version, let’s delve into the essence of “HOWL”
• Melodic Future Bass with Cinematic elements • Warm, energetic vocal • Dharma’s way of exploring familiar genres It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of diving into the world of Melodic Future Bass, especially within the realm of Dharma. When I first caught wind that KSHMR had handpicked a track from this
• Hard kicks, distorted vocals • Neverending flux of stamina and aggressiveness • Distortions are quite aggressive towards the end Introducing the formidable collaboration between Dead X and Levenkhan comes “Player H8rs,” a relentless onslaught of hard-hitting beats and unapologetic aggression. Levenkhan, known for his distinctive blend of hip-hop influences and hardcore kicks, brings his
• Oldschool vibes in the main lead • Energetic vocal performance • Explosive drop section “Lost My Ground” is a vibrant fusion of nostalgic Eurodance elements and contemporary production techniques, showcasing the collective talents of Averro, D.T.E, and Ayda Rastgoo.

• Melodic Techno meets Tropical House • Original vocal loses some charm • Stunning job with the percussions It’s intriguing to witness, five years later, the transformation of Axwell Λ Ingrosso‘s “More Than You Know” into a completely different vibe—a more laidback interpretation courtesy of Mount Rouge’s unique blend of Melodic Techno and Tropical House.
Meet Broey., with over 15 years of experience in the industry, millions of streams under his belt, and a style that can only be described as “experimental lofi.” Pretty crazy, right? “Fragments” is a perfectly chosen title for this outstanding EP, consisting of various little pieces that come together to form a complete puzzle. I
• Hard-hitting Eurodance hit • Future House vibe, reworked with more underground impressions • Great step outside the comfort zone “Monster” is… quite a lot of things.

When I say astronomical proportions, I’m not exaggerating! Edictum’s “Cosmic Scale” takes you on a big adventure across the solar system.

If you’re into music that paints vivid pictures

Mariana Bo has been delving into more aggressive realms lately, as seen in her Dark Techno release “Cantus” a few months ago. “Smoke Music” ventures into
• Wait for the second drop • Happy at first, then takes a darker turn • Cheesy vocal, avoidable As I listened to “Midnight” up until the first drop, I found myself somewhat disinterested in this Happy Hyperpop rendition.

I recently immersed myself in “Lights Out,” and what
• Rework of a rework of “Da Goodness” • Energetic G-House spin • Don Diablo really added that much-needed bounce! It’s amusing how this monumental collaboration between Major Lazer and Don Diablo is essentially a rework of “BabyLawd, DLegend – Jiggy Woogie,” which, in turn, draws inspiration from “Da Goodness” by Redman and Busta Rhymes,
