76\100 Wohooo, super aggressive hard\big room track today! After some weeks of silence, Metanoia restarts to roar with a massive collaboration between Seth Hills and Pitchback, “Lethal”. If you are a Revealed Recordings fan, you surely know those guys, since their careers launched thanks to two important releases. I’m talking about the epic “Cosmic Dark”
73\100 It took a while before finally impressing me, but the new GARMIANI production is quite interesting! “Fogo” is the new single from the Swedish producer, an energetic and creative song released by Spinnin’ Records. I had some difficulties when categorizing “Fogo” under a specific genre (there are reggae-ish, tribal and electro elements together), but since
84\100 PIZZA AND VIOLINS. Martin, congratulations. You have chosen the right combination for impressing me! I’m really happy to finally hear “Pizza”, the new single by Martin Garrix, a lovely “vintage” progressive house track. I like a lot of things here, so, because I want to make a tidy and clear article, I will make a
80\100 Spectacular. Even if “Powermove” still remains my favorite song of the EP, “Here Once Again” conquered my heart. Once again, Hardwell demonstrated to have a special ability in picking good collaborators, this time Dr. Phunk. The Dutch hardstyle producer already showed his skills with some crazy remixes, and it was just a matter of
Today I want to present you a beautiful remix by Mickey Valen. First of all, if you don’t know this great artist, I suggest checking his discography here… It won’t disappoint you. The trap producer remixed “Gucci Store” by Madalen Duke, a young Canadian pop singer. The original, which you can listen to here, has been
82\100 One of the greatest trance productions ever was released in 1996 by the German Duo Cygnus X. “Superstring” was a “once in a lifetime” track. Born as a hard trance tune (Hard trance was a genre that was dominant in the electronic music scene in 90’s), the track got various remixes over the years,
89\100 “Powermove” can be summarized with a word: “Woah“. In the drop, very particular, this word seems to be repeated in an infinite loop, creating a hypnotic bass house atmosphere interrupted only by powerful metallic fills. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it reminds me the popular Crash meme, even if it sounds
79\100 The third release of the “Hardwell & Friends EP Vol. 2” is an amazing progressive tune called “What We Need”. The Dutch producer collaborated once again with the singer Haris (already heard in “Survivor” and “Nothing Can’t Hold Us“), and the result is splendid! I was expecting “What We Need”. It was a long-awaited
75/100 The Dutch sensation Hardwell rolled out the sequel to his first successful EP, “Hardwell and Friends Vol.2”, containing some really unique tracks. Among all, the second collaboration “Still The One” has been between the Revealed veteran Kill The Buzz and Hardwell himself. The collaborators need no introduction; both have a very distinctive name in
85\100 Well, I must be honest now. I like “Badam”. A lot. The first time I heard it I thought “Meh, it’s the typical ethnic trap by Henry Fong, disappointed” (I don’t usually like his music)… But today I’ve listened a lot to “Badam” and I can’t stop singing by myself “badam, badaaam” like an
76\100 The Dutch duo is back with an interesting hybrid between psy and hardstyle! “By Myself” is the Mainstage Music release of the week, and once again D-Block & S-Te-Fan are dropping some hard music! The hardstyle duo is not a newcomer here, but it’s the first time that their Mainstage production shows their full
78\100 I was expecting something more from those guys, but “Showdown” is a nice tune! The new Revealed release is a wild electro banger, full of enthusiasm and aggressiveness. Maddix and Loax teamed up and showed the world what two of the most promising talents of the scene can do. The drop is pretty nice,
82\100 I’m almost tired to proclaim this, but once again: new banger out on Maxximize! “Roots” is the new Crystal Lake single, edited by the good guys Blasterjaxx. I have usually a lot of difficulties while reviewing edits, because it’s not clear who made what and how much the Dutch duo influenced the Israelian duo…
74\100 The Dutch duo Vicetone is back on Spinnin’ with a delicious future track, “Collide”. The song, featuring a splendid vocal by Rosi Golan, is one of the most enjoyable Spinnin’ releases of the month, for me. I am following those guys since the beginning, and even if they changed genre, I must admit that
78\100 “Police (You Ain’t Ready)” is a surprising track. I remember listening to a RIP preview of a set and being bored by the first drop… I wasn’t expecting anything special from “Police”. Well, surprise! The second drop is way better, a hard house experiment by Hardwell, fresh and interesting! Plus, the good vocal by Anthony
