The twenty-fifth edition of Weekly Roundup isn’t any less crowded by stars, including names like Regard, Laidback Luke, Orjan Nilsen and many more! Armin van Buuren, Reinier Zonneveld, Roland Clark – We Can Dance Again 80/100 Trading his uplifting trance roots for peak-time techno, the Armind head-honcho paired up with leading techno act Reinier Zonneveld
• Sampled “Happy Song” by Baby’s Gang • Pumping kick and energetic basses • Nice teaser for the upcoming album! On one side, I’m rather annoyed by KUNGS’s single-minded strategy of picking up 80’s classics and slightly modifying them, but from the other… They do work. Fresh off from the success of the summer’s hit
• Excellent mood in the buildup section • Predictable features in the drop • Robust track with clean sound design Jay Eskar’s debut has been awaited by me for quite some time now, owing to his unwavering talented efforts on the scene. It had to be either Hexagon or the No Copyright Sounds label, as
This Valentines weekend is not the only thing that’s exciting, as various electronic artists have seized the Friday before the romantic date to release brand new singles. This time, there’s DubVision, Fisher, Diplo and the list goes on. By the way, which EDM hits did you rewind this fourteenth? Diplo, Miguel – Don’t Forget My
• Explosive first drop • A mix of everything: Trance, Tech House, Big Room. • Ending on a melodic note Experimenting needs undivided commitment. This is something I have found soundly present within the discography of the scintillating Maurice West. I won’t mince my words that admire him anyways, as the Dutch act has harkened
• Heavy bassline • Presence of Fisher-type leads • Evolving percussions Tech House? I am definitely not the right person to comment on any tracks from the genre, committing to it only in rarest of circumstances. Yet, while listening to one of the promo submissions, “Legends” from Cyrus Khan and Launo was something that captured
The tag of “Future Rave”, as opined by two very notable acts involved at the mainstream front, has presented us with a brand new flavor of festival music. However, the nomenclature should equally act as an umbrella term for other efforts, one such done persistently by Blinders. The STMPD signed producer has, time and time
• Evil Borgore be like: Not Dubstep • Reminds of FISHER’s style • Tech-Bass fusion of elements Life does take you in circles, and Borgore is a recent example of getting signed by Armada after four years, after having focused on his own imprint: Buygore. This time he left that crazy ass evil dubstep version
As the dust from the dance events held in Amsterdam settle, with a particularly disliked DJ magazine poll declaring their results, we are finally well over into the fourth quarter of this year. Although I wasn’t present at the Electronic music capital, social media affirmed that natives and tourists both flocked and partied hard after
• Duality between an innocent break and… • Wobbling drops with a futuristic tone • Fun and surprising twists A sublime team-up, today’s selection is a studio joint-effort shared between two upcomers who have shown a lot of potential, personally speaking. Greg Dela from Belgium is specialized in a special sort of Future House, featuring
• TripL essence with J&S signature in back • Ardent vocal loop, catchy outcome • Potential left untouched Jewelz & Sparks are by far one of my favourite pair in the scene, as they still brandish their signature which gave them a reputed career. Their steely drums and minimal groove are unique, recognizable and works
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!
• Sticks to the essentials • SEVENN-ish pattern, focused on low-pitched vocal melody • Entertaining experimentation It’s been a while since I wanted to talk about Vion Konger, a blooming talent formerly discovered by Dannic some years ago (in fact there are some slight similarities in their styles). Well if you happen to be curious
• Delvig’s futuristic sound • Future Rave fusioned with Big Room-Trance? • Hard-hitting melody This caught me unexpectedly, Antoine Delvig’s establishment in the scene slowly got his prize with a remix for the one and only David Guetta in his collab with reputed Galantis and the group Little Mix. With a more futuristic sound, the
• Appreciated the sweet breakdown! • Caveats with the transition • Darker bassline in the drop, è la “Hexagon” style This is not going to be a debate about the complicated issues of our society, but one thing is crystal clear: the EDM world hasn’t been as encouraging to female producer. We don’t like stereotypes
• A mix between Bass and Future House • Calmer and experimental winning take from DMNX • Honorable mention: BLUK’s aggressive remix As promised, we have reviewed the victor for the “Pass Me By” charity remix contest. Published via swerve collective, the original from Jake & Alvar (who has delighted us, yet left craving for
• Delicate and stunning composition • The magic is in the details • OMG, I love that guitar! Almost forty eight hours ago, we asked the audience to suggest a track for review, and two of them were selected due to greater amount of likes. The final decision was made by the members of our
• Both label and the group comeback in the scene! • Meaningful lyrics • Fetching rhythm, fusion of styles After a four months of unexplained radio-silence, reputed brand Size Records has made a wild entry with a new track from, wait for it, an acclaimed group who also disappeared from the scene (same as Project
• Contrasting and different style • Repetitive vocal, even with pitch alterations • Catchy but predictable melody Being a producer that has always been focused on offering unique material to the masses since 2016, Sikdope has been meandering to either find a new style or attempting to give “back to the roots” sensation. “Myself” is
• Bass-Tech House hybrid with twists • Catchy bassline, as expected • Minimal attitude to emphasize the rhythm After mentioning him for multiple times on our blog-space, especially on the artist focus series a few months back, ELYX has ranked upwards on the support and recognition ranks since then. The immensely talented youngster has proved
