• Consistent theme • Stellar vocals atop the instrumental • Catchy melodies that linger I’ve previously commended Jeriko’s work on the “Renaissancel” EP under Intensity Recordings, where he seamlessly melded modern Future Wave with the vibes of 2010.

• Usual Melodic Big Room structure • Catchy buildup, solid vocal performance • Lacks that “unique” factor to be unforgettable You may be familiar with “Daddy DJ” under several instances, such as “DotA” (or “All I Ever Wanted” in English version) from Basshunter, or the funny edit by Crazy Frog with way more views on

• Bouncy drop, then usually Blasterjaxx stuff • Brazilian atmosphere not fully explored • Catchy vocal with lots of dynamism There are some positives. The bouncy drop and familiar Blasterjaxx style are sure to please their fans. The vocal is also catchy and dynamic. However, the potential of the Brazilian atmosphere is not fully explored,
