• Modern lead, veering towards Piano House • Powerful vocal performance • Captivating melody with a Progressive twist I’m thrilled to discuss this pop piece on Revealed Radar, a label that, ironically, had slipped off my personal radar. Their focus on releasing hundreds of songs didn’t help, and I lost track of their catalog. They
• Solid signature sound in the drop • Great vocal performance for this kind of piece • The breakdown is Avicii-influenced It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed something from Syn Cole, the Estonian veteran who began his career on LE7ELS.

• 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
• Happy vocal, powerful drop • Sweeter kick than expected • Lots of beautiful details in the composition Today’s track is a delightful Melodic Hardstyle tune that truly impressed me with its sound design. “Wild Ones” is the first collaboration between Dutch producers Tim and Tom, known as TCM and Thymo. TCM has made a
• 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
• 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.

Their debut album, “You’ve Got Me,” released via Nettwerk, is a testament to their creative prowess and boundless imagination. Breaking free from the constraints of traditional
• Rework of the Nomad (and Bingo Players) hit • Not-so-predictable approach • Homage to 10 years of career “Devotion” marks a significant milestone in KSHMR‘s illustrious career as he celebrates 10 years of the project. Teaming up with 22Bullets, the duo delivers yet another stellar performance, showcasing their collective genius and creativity. The choice
• 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.
• 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.

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. Sure, the BPMs were soaring, but it lacked that adrenaline kick I was yearning for. This
• Rework of a rework of “Da Goodness” • Energetic G-House spin • Don Diablo really added that much-needed bounce!
