    • Classic big room twist • Saberz-W&W influences • Linear but energetic Oftentimes, there are considerable comments on artists who once pursued Big Room— when it was trendy that is— and have since moved on to greener pastures, so to speak. Good thing we have independent producers who are willing to stick to their roots

    • Not a fan of the vocal • Explosive drop with Future Rave melodies • Exceptional work with meticulously chosen elements I hadn’t come across Wave Wave before, and, in general, Mentalo Music (my only mention was some years ago, suggesting that the label was still in its early stages of development). But it seems

    • Aura of mystery throughout • Unusual vocal choice, appreciated • Focus on the heavy bass rather than the melody Once again, we find ourselves discussing a dream team of beloved artists. This time, it’s three names that have graced our reviews multiple times, finally coming together: R3SPAWN, Kazden, Karasso, and featuring Brunetti on vocals.

    • Lo-fi touches throughout • The vocals synergize with almost everything • Passionate, serene experience There’s a sense of calm and serenity while experiencing “Another Life” from JINGBY, Zach Fox, and Emma Castellino! This enticing Deep House number has been published on Afrojack’s WALL Recordings, an unusual choice considering the Dutch icon’s affection for underground

    • No experiments from Dimas • Repetitive melody with an energetic bass • The pair reunited after 12 years. My respect for Angger Dimas has always remained particularly because of his unconventional and particular style. Give a listen to “Phat Brahms” with DV&LM and Aoki (not the 2.0) to get an exact measure of what

    Weekly Roundup LXIV (Weekly Roundup? More like Monthly.) Weekly Roundup? More like Monthly. Yes, I am abundantly aware of the recent inconsistent rate of this series, but life happens. Do you know what else also happens? New releases that need to be talked about without further ado! Coi Leray – Players (David Guetta Remix) 82/100

    • Afrojack-type dirty lead • Festival banger for live performances • Minimal melodic pattern It is harder to rationalize the titling on Bassjackers’ latest EP, as they didn’t specifically name it “Vol. 3”, but yes, the duo migrated to Smash The House after two editions on Spinnin’ Records. Sincerely curious about this third installment, the

    With the first month of 2023 nearing its end, there’s been a lot of records that make this year an attractive prospect. This time, we have veterans such as Afrojack & R3HAB, Pitbull, Hardwell, and other promising talents with the latest tracks. R3HAB, Afrojack – Shockwave 72/100 A sonic association between two EDM veterans is

    The second week into this month, and I gotta say: November has “LIV”ed up to the expectations. Well regrettable puns aside, we have a bunch of new music to talk about in the 44th roundup! Afrojack, James Arthur – Lose You 80/100 High-profile studio collaborations are real eye-catchers. So is the newest teamwork between the

    Today I teamed up with @edmrevnik for reviewing two of Nicky Romero’s recent releases that we found worth of attention. In the past we have criticized the lack of creativity of the Dutch producer, who decided to focus on easy, cash-grabbing Progressive tracks… Something has changed, maybe? Back To Where We Started w/ Afrojack 83/100

    Like any inaugurating Friday for an eventful month ahead, there’s plenty of music to be covered on the forty-sixth edition of the Weekly Roundup. Expect tunes from Sub Zero Project, Oliver Heldens, Afrojack, and more to be covered under another extensive list of impressive releases. Let’s begin! DubVision & Afrojack – Feels Like Home (F1

    • An absurd outcome from two big names • Slower, Future House track with great vocals • Unfitting to the theme of Tomorrowland It had slipped my mind that Tomorrowland has its own official anthems! It’s not so obvious, since my brief research confirmed that the last one was in 2014 (“Waves” by W&W and

    Midway to June and we have ample releases to talk about on this roundup, with a special focus on uprising talents and their experimental efforts. The thirty-sixth edition of Weekly Roundup has Afrojack, deadmau5, ELYX, and more interesting aliases on today’s list! deadmau5 – XYZ 85/100 After his much-appreciated team-up “Escape” with the dance music

    Just as the first major festival of the year is almost on the horizon, we have reputed aliases like Afrojack, Joel Corry, NWYR, and many others for this Friday. There’s much to unpack, so let’s dive into it! Joel Corry, David Guetta, Bryson Tiller – What Would You Do? 65/100 After a year since they

    Wow, time sure does flies! “No Beef” is a classic that accompanied me from the early days of my musical experience, when Dirty Dutch/Electro House was trending. Luminaries such as Romero and Afrojack were rising, and that banger with Miss Palmer came at the right moment. The Dutch act created a marvellous breakdown paired to

    The decrease in the quality of the Dutch label is not particularly evident, since Afrojack performed relatively well this year, keeping a balance between commercial hits and underground works, including his Tech alias Kapuchon. However today we discuss Wall Recordings, the fourteen-year-old sub-label under Spinnin’. In my opinion, it has lost its power in the

    Had your fill of watching bunch of fictional Korean characters getting killed for money, but now browsing through your Insta feed? Well, perhaps you can spare some attention to this edition of Weekly Roundup. Let’s see checks list: we have new singles from the likes of Afrojack, SaberZ, Nina Kraviz and more to talk about,

    • Funky instrumental • Repetition of an unneeded sound • Pianos? Mhhhhhhhhhhhh Complaints are rarer from my side when it concerns Afrojack’s music catalogue. He’s still one of the veterans who has pursued consistent quality in releases, still experimenting with his signature sounds, but man.. was this week brutal (sort of) for the Dutch sensation!

    • Blend of distinctive styles • Melodic and resonating synths • Lively vocal performance matching the theme As the world gradually moves into fall, Norwegian hotshot Tungevaag is teaming up with ‘Bigroom To The Future’ duo Bassjackers, as they present their after-summer single, “Written In The Stars”. This collaboration was an unexpected occurrence when they

    Being an admirer of “Hero”, the recent studio output from the minds of the proficient pair Afrojack and David Guetta, the remixes provided me ample material to talk about. So I decided to review all of them in one special episode, and there’s aplenty of conclusions that I came around to.  If not familiar, then

    • Uncredited vocalists with a club-like performance • Amazing way of mixing together the two styles • Curious output, maybe suitable for a specific audience Zafrir strikes me as the individual who keeps releasing a lot of music and conducting team-ups with famous aliases, often with forgettable results and sometimes with gorgeous results. The detail
