• Hammering kick enforcing a brutal aura • Exotic vibe kept intact • Higher dynamism, thanks to Dimatik’s experience When Deva guest reviewed the “IV EP” from the Dutch duo Blasterjaxx, the unmentioned vocal of Zafrir’s collaboration came as a surprise to me. If there’s a recurring detail from his catalogue, it’s that he always
The Big Room icons Blasterjaxx have been on a roll, releasing a bunch of singles including “Rulers of The Night”, which celebrates a decade of their formation. Further, they also plan to release fifteen tracks on top of the other that they released since this year’s onset. Thanks to them, the upcoming artists have a
Hey there, welcome to second instalment of the “Weekly Roundup”! Awful good to have you here! Now, I am hoping the format is feeling all comfy for everyone running their eyes through this. Some changes will be made now and then, as it deems suitable to make this series more efficient. Alright, that being said,
• Third collaboration shared by the aliases • Usual warming breakdown to a rhythmic drop • A mixture of Electro and Future House nuances By this time around, Declain is no stranger to our blog. He has been one of the hottest names around for a while, as the young producer has managed to completely
• Heads back to peak-time Big Room style • Nostalgic characteristic with lesser experimentation • Energetic and explosive drop sequences Intensity Recordings has opted to slow down its pace lately… being a fan of carefully, well-selected smaller catalogue, I back this decision entirely. For example, “Fire” seems like an excellent pick from the label: everything
• Ten years of Maxximize • Melodic Big Room signature • A nostalgic yet anticipated creation 10 summers ago, two distinctive individuals from the Dutch electronic scene decided to team-up, and the rest remains history. Thom and Idir decided to move forward with Blasterjaxx, perhaps creating on of the most influential names in the festival
• Spanish ballad in-between two heavy drop • Interesting dynamic made with fast and slow rhythms • Simpler formula, creative application It has become an antic for me to often joke with my Spanish colleagues, who are naturally biased on reviewing artists from their nation… Well would you look at me now, reviewing “Matador”! Thankfully,
• Hardwell’s comeback is not happening sooner • The duo worked hard on the percussions, the other excelled in the breakdown • Hard-hitting structure that could have dared experimenting This marks my first review for this year: a difficult one, because there is a backstory behind this release, which will probably be enjoyed by a
Hate it or love it, the Maxximize founders are back! For this entire year, the Dutch veteran Blasterjaxx have released over ten tracks, joining forces with the likes of Armin van Buuren. Especially admirable is that they wrapped up two separate EPs after the enormous “Perspective” album that came out last year. Despite all the
The next month has real treats in store for many video-game fanatics, and we are getting an early taste of it with leading Canadian-based corporation Ubisoft announcing its newest launch “Watch Dogs: Legion” on this Thursday. And it is getting a befitting octane-filled soundtrack from none other than leading veteran duo Blasterjaxx. They excitedly announced
• Special care in the breakdown’s atmosphere • Subtle editing in the vocal • Another milestone for the duo Wildvibes-Patrick Key A couple of years ago I wrote a piece about Wildvibes, a young guy that impressed me with his quality Progressive House. I kept watching him growing, reaching new and important milestones. I saw
• Astonishing work on the fundamental element: the exotic vocal • Same as before: if you don’t like that loop, you’re screwed • More “Big Room oriented” than “Mai Tai” Obviously, “Bacana” is the follow-up of “Mai Tai”, a previous collab of MountBlaq and Pessto that I reviewed some weeks ago. Now, the American duo
• Hefty percussion and synths • Orchestral breakdown • Heavily inspired from the earlier style of Big Room So, for today’s article, I decided to write about “Tarzan” from the known luminaries Armin van Buuren & Blasterjaxx. This is perhaps their biggest collaboration in recent times, after the latter Dutch duo released multiple successful works
• Dismal atmosphere • Brisk drop • Quirky sound design One of the most aesthetic things about EDM is the insane amount of subgenres that it covers. If you read my reviews often, you might have realized that I mostly talk about Progressive house, Big Room and Hardstyle, but also like to experiment with some
• Delicate, magical atmosphere, suddenly broken by a brutal drop • Oldschool 2017 vibes (remember XX Files?) • Quality release, the fourth in 2020 for the Dutch duo Blasterjaxx are stable members of Big Room olympus, and today we analyze their newest banger, “Phantasia”, an oldschool production with a progressive fusion. After a couple of
• Magical, fantasy atmosphere • Quality lyrics by the talented Elle Vee • Interesting influences in the drop, mixing Declain’s essence with Future House I must admit that this release by Declain caught me by surprise. As we heard on his two other 2020 releases (“Bad Idea” and “Stuck To You“), the young producer is
• Hard-hitting old-school formula • Slightly more melodic imprint by Olly James • Well-crafted production, bittersweet after-experience Blasterjaxx are pretty straightforward with their titles. “Big Room Never Dies“, “Music Is Our Religion“… Is there even any dearth of fervour in this Dutch heavyweights! After the well-received “Phoenix“, the endeared duet has a new creation along
• Formulaic but energetic schematics • Standout breakdown segment • Tantalizing drop, rich in dynamism and aggressiveness This year has witnessed major developments for many renowned artists, but one particular act has pushed their limits. For the Dutch heavyweights Blasterjaxx, the word “hiatus” has become absolutely anonymous. Fresh off from their latest album, which has
We’ve got a lot of other stuff to cover including the return of an unexpected Martin Garrix collaboration, a return to form from Skrillex, an absolute bomb from Vigel, another Tsunami-style track from Blasterjaxx, a surprising new direction for Pessto, a summer track from RudeLies, a future bounce track from Revealed, a fresh house EP
DBSTF are back and it’s as good as you’d think it’d be! Plus Brooks finally releases his remix of American Boy, Maddix returns to Revealed Recordings, and Haywyre gives a much-needed remix to Martin Garrix’s summer hit. As always, we’ll be partnering with The QR Network to compile a short recap of notable tracks that we
• Old-school vibes • Alluring vocal presence • Subtle yet energetic The colossal Dutch duology Blasterjaxx have unpacked and revealed yet another surprise, giving us listeners a taste of their dexterous and meticulous nature. While we have been busy appreciating their earlier releases, they pegged away in their studio to present us even sweeter singles.
