• A bit of classic Manse, but more heartfelt • Emotional breakdown with slow, decisive notes • Drop hits sweet and soaring Lovely, lovely, lovely Progressive House track for today. This one caught me off guard in the best way. Mike Vaughn and Hydrex crafted something beautiful here, and with Jordan Grace on vocals? I
• Chill Future House with a spark • Wonky bass and dynamic chops • A smooth summer-ready banger Chill Future House banger for this hot summer! “Restart” is a well-thought-out composition, crafted by the talents Alex Martin (you may know him from “Loco“) and LACEY, known for his signature chill vibes and tropical-tinged hits. The
A curious title, a comeback after decades, and a blend of sounds coming from both US and Lithuania.“Inperimental” is a mix of vibes, old and new, and a profound project that impressed me. Both visually and musically. Behind the album is Plasma, a Lithuanian electronic duo that lit up the Baltics’ ’90s rave scene with
• Psy bass, classic Trance, dark Techno buildup • Dreamy atmosphere but still hits hard • Kinda eerie, kinda beautiful Spectral Trance, anyone? This new one from nilsix, aka Ørjan Nilsen + Mark Sixma showed up on Dreamstate and immediately caught my ear. “Ghost in the Machine” has that exact balance of weight and weirdness
• Cyberpunk-inspired but not cliché • Psy, Big Room, and cinematic vibes collide • Lights and darks, like Yin and Yang I love when the artist nails the description before I even press play. RENESIS calls this one “Beauty forged in Chaos” and honestly, that’s the perfect way to put it. “Sakura” is a stunning
• Eerie pizzicato breakdowns are back • Electro House lead gives off legacy Steve Aoki energy • Surprisingly intense, built with just a few sharp elements I’ve talked before about the eerie, almost haunted vibe in “Little Fingers“, and it looks like Ring Noord weren’t done exploring that space. With “Break You”, they lean even
• Heavy kicks, Big Room drama, rawstyle switches • Exploding energy from start to finish • One-shot vocals bring real chaos ALWZ SNNY is back with something loud and rowdy just in time for summer. “Rebel” is exactly what it says on the label, a track that doesn’t follow the rules, doesn’t care to, and
• Sweet clash of textures • The sax is telling a story • Surprising percussions I genuinely liked this release from Canadian producer Finn Forte, part of his debut album “Loss”. “One Moment” is the first single, and it feels already like a very personal chapter in his journey. If this is just the start,
• Similar to “Fool Me” but a bit more pleasant than that • Subtle but spot on characteristics • Addicting, memorable and intense I think “Make Believe” has a massive Rocket League vibe which is equivalent to Rachel’s debut track on Monstercat, “Fool Me“, released in 2023. Both are more of the same but are
• Brazilian Bass and a blend of genres • Elegant strings add unexpected sophistication • Professional production that shines in the details RadWulf continues to be one of the most interesting characters in EDM right now. The guy literally claims to be from the future, and I like the whole cyberpunk aesthetic in his trippy
• Sort of Wasted Penguinz, reinvented • Impressive loud kick • Vocal that blends well to the overall vibe So stoked to see RayRay leveling up yet again, this time teaming up with another bass music favorite – Gammer. Their new collab “Never Enough” on Basscon Records surprised me: way more melodic than I expected,
• Horns and growls that creep under your skin • Chaotic first drop that suddenly makes sense • Trap, Bass House, multiple influences… This one took me a few listens. Est. and SISI‘s “WONT U” isn’t an easy first date. It has a lot of interesting things inside that can overwhelmt you if you are
• Eerie minimalism, somehow it’s enough to make your skin crawl • Experimental textures with a stripped-down vibe • It just tightens the screws, minute by minute Okay, this one caught me off guard. “Little Finger”, the new single from Ring Noord (aka Nik Roos from Noisia/Sleepnet and Former), is so stripped back it almost
• That classic progressive warmth done right • Vocals that cut through the usual EDM cheese • Complex melodies that still feel instantly inviting “Tell You Now” is exactly why I still get excited about Progressive House. Voster & Gallardo nailed that rare balance: their creation’s got all the energy you want from a festival
• “Secrets” structure with “Everytime We Touch” melody • But screw it, it’s fun and energetic • Slight W&W touch on the kicks My craving for some quality big room is so high that I’m ecstatic about a song that is blatantly “Secrets 2.0″ without much effort added. And the melody weirdly resembles “Everytime We
• Three different kick styles in one track • Euphoric build-up meets violent drops • Melody and chaos in perfect collision It’s been some time since I listened to Audiofreq. “Angel Eyez” with Krypton, from 3 years ago, was a total banger! A classic vocal, UK Hardcore vibe, mixed with heavy Hardstyle. Easily top 5
• Experimental trap with clean bass and distorted vocals • Surprise female vocals elevate second half • Wobbling beat creates nostalgic vibe Today I’m checking out something different: this beat from Spanish producer Entienel. At first I had it playing in the background, but 30 seconds in I had to stop and really listen. By
• Explosive dubstep drop with brutal growls • A haunting horn sets the tone • A bold, eccentric release showcasing Deadlynoiz‘s drive to innovate Something aggressive today. Something out of the ordinary. Deadlynoiz just delivered “Next Level”, and I would say… I’m impressed from the first bars. This explosive dubstep tune begins with a long,
• A vibrant fusion of Afro-house rhythms • Evocative vocals by Dominic Neill • A dancefloor anthem with emotional depth “Rest Of Our Life” is a beautifully crafted track from Dhali, MOGUAI and Dominic Neill that strikes a delicate balance between warmth and depth. Marc Moon’s soothing vocal performance sets the tone, bringing an intimate
• Brooks and Mike together again after 7 years • Solid blend of styles in the drop • Mylo’s sample could have been used more effectively I think “Jetlag” by Mike Williams and Brooks, released 7 years ago, was one of the first reviews here to score a 90+. For us, it’s an extremely high
• Focus on the melody, non on the kick • Good fit for workout playlists • Balance between old-school and new trends STISEMA‘s latest track is taking over my gym playlist in a big way. Titled “Energy“, it’s a killer release from the Norwegian DJ, together with The Rocketman, released via Maddix’s Extatic label. Our
