Right in time for Christmas, I received a surprise gift from avyeal. Deeply personal, slightly mysterious, impossible to ignore. “Catedral Cosmica” was born during pandemic isolation—a diary of an artist breaking free from routine, crafting something that refuses to fit neatly into any musical box. avyeal—part pianist, part electronic alchemist—has created a work that feels
A new album from Elephante is here, and it’s worth sitting down with. COPE arrives as a deeply personal exploration of healing, with Elephante sharing with us the complexities of emotional resilience through his signature electronic sound. The album weaves through different collaborative voices – Ridgely, Linney, Amber Liu, Daye– each track mapping out a
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical going into “Entropy“, the debut album from 2ŁØT. I hadn’t heard much about them before, but what I discovered turned out to be a surprisingly powerful and captivating journey. From the first few notes, it’s clear this band is doing something truly unique. Their genre-defying mix
Stop. Reset. Your Digital Voyage begins here. The story of today is creative. It’s something new. It’s an album from Canadian artist ReSeT that stroke a chord in me because of its amazing concept. ReSeT has more than a decade of experience in creating music, and this album has a long story. Started from his
From St. Albans, just north of London, comes a unique electronic tale. Maximum Love, two brothers who started making music together in their bedrooms just to make each other laugh, have evolved into something truly special. What began around 2011 with tracks like “Twin Crimes” has matured into a distinctive sound that draws from darkwave,
Fritz Kalkbrenner is no stranger to us. The German icon, first known to the masses for the global hit “Sky & Sand” with his brother Paul, and then for a sequence of Gold and Platinum hits, is a stable member in the Techno olympus of stars. He has performed at some of the world’s biggest
In the fast-paced world of EDM, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of anonymous and commercial tracks. But every once in a while, an act emerges that makes you sit up and take notice. Enter House of Allegro, a dynamic duo that’s been quietly making waves in the underground scene. Their latest album,
Summer has undoubtedly arrived, as evidenced by the scorching 30-degree weather outside my window, according to the weather forecast. In dire need of something to cool me down, Watermelon Boy‘s latest album “The Wow Signal” emerges as a lifesaver. The Australian artist has crafted a unique fusion of Afrobeats-Dancehall rhythms with a modern twist on
Enjoying a meteoric and influential rise within the DnB scene in a relatively short stretch, Bunshin knows no bounds with his artistic and out-of-the-box take on the genre. Steadily designing a new creative project over the last few months, the project was revealed to be his latest EP: “not everything is your fault“, released on
Today’s review is not even proper EDM: I was in a mood for something relaxing, a departure from the predictable tunes that saturate the music scene. And I found what I was looking for. “Diving into the broken synapses of molecular transient brain waves” (a clever quote indeed), I embarked on a journey with Hot
Greg Jones has been a laudable and meritorious moniker in the electronic music scene, especially since his older alias ‘G Jones‘. Known for fabricating unique and experimental soundscapes, the American creative has expertise in melding Glitch, Acid, and IDM with the unconventional likes of Trap, and Future Bass, among other kinds of bass-heavy endeavors. His
While Drum & Bass isn’t my primary genre, I decided to take the plunge into this intriguing album from Michigan indie artist SB1, titled “BASURA BLANCA“. I must admit, what truly captivated me was the album’s genuine underground flavor. It doesn’t aim for radio-friendly or lightweight elements but instead smashes through clichés with a set
• Melodic Dubstep as expected • Familiar formula in a shinier package • Gorgeous vocal performance Nearly after a decade, the American producer finally is ready to remove the curtains from his first album, “Beyond The Veil”. Having followed him for a long time, I am expecting loads of Melodic (and otherwise) Dubstep and I
Before I proceed, let’s begin with the initial thought of how I wasn’t as keen about reviewing Hardwell‘s hiatus-breaking album “REBELS NEVER DIE“. My opinion concerning his recent Festival Techno sound remains intact since the day the post-UMF article “Welcome back, Hardwell!” came out. Reiterating that here, in short, it’s simply not my cup of
While we didn’t listen to all the songs yet, Beyoncè’s soon-to-be-released album “Renaissance” has clear influences from EDM. Considering the success Drake gained from “Honestly, Nevermind”, which included production efforts from the likes of &ME and Rampa, Black Coffee, and more. High hopes have begun the trajectory of Electronic music at such a higher level
Pop music stalwarts have always tested the waters in myriads of Dance music, be it Lady Gaga’s enthusiasm with electro and house or the Weeknd’s recent endeavors involving Swedish House Mafia, to varying degrees of success. The world of EDM has intertwined (and once ruled) over the pop industry time and time again, leading to
• An intense take on the original • Melodic and glitching dubstep drops • Overtaking the vocal slightly ILLENIUM’s set became my favorite during this year’s UMF, together with Timmy Trumpet (super fun) and the rather surprising one from Kygo… The American star has managed to present a lot of interesting ideas, including a superlative
• Reminiscent of two earlier Hardwell Edits! • Bouncy drop with a unique lead signature • Future Rave influences in the buildup There’s an unshakeable feeling that MAKJ is near to completion of an album drop, after years and years of working in the EDM industry. Firstly, with his characteristic Electro House trademark, now slightly
After realizing there wasn’t any throwback article since February, it put me in quite a distasteful position, for I enjoy writing about tracks that influenced the very history of Electronic music. Well then, let me make up. This one’s dedicated to an explosive phenomenon that occured in the 2010s pop culture, yet a direct outcome
• A contemplative album theme • Sefa’s instrumentalism shines bright • Classical music meets modern ideas It’s been a moment since my previous review came out. The dance music industry seems to be on the verge of a path that is unenjoyable personally, so I barely find a song that makes me think “damn, this
After an interesting turn of events that led to celebrity rapper Kanye West being replaced by a collaborative performance from Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd in the festival lineup held by Coachella, the much-awaited album “Paradise Again” has been finally dropped.
