• A perfect fusion of storytelling and electronic production • Unique guitar-driven sound • Euphoric progression that captures both melancholy and hope It’s been a while since I listened to Thomas Irwin, but here we go! You may remember him from Dharma Worldwide’s release “Fighting Till The End” (feat. Scarlett). Since then, I praised his

• Captivating vocals paired with a soft bassline • Soft ambient start evolving into emotional depth • Standout track in Chill Your Mind’s catalog Just released via Chill Your Mind, “Magic” captures that moment when love just clicks. This new release features TMPST and Phil Odd, both from Sweden, and our well-known Jordan Grace at

In the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, few artists manage to carve out a space that’s truly their own. Enter Ark Patrol, the Hawaii-born, LA-based producer whose latest album “GEM” hypnotized me. It’s an autobiography that completes the previously released EPs “G” and “E“. From the moment you hit play on “You Know“, it’s clear

• Two intriguing takes on both breakdowns • Splendid vocal execution • Experimental approach, much appreciated Hyperpop in NCS! I’m not surprised as this new trend fits the usual NCS sound, and there are plenty of talented artists to pick from. Today, we have Ghostnaps, a talented producer from Boston with some interesting releases in

• Somber yet refreshing • Experimental and minimal • Superb vocals It won’t be wise to leave this unsaid— but SIZE Records is really onto some streak here— as they keep upping the ante with every release they do. Yes, they have always been an eminent niche in the music industry, but their recent revival

In the past few years, the French producer and sound design whiz IMANU has been making waves and leaving a momentous mark on the European Drum and bass scene- all with his sharp intellect for an industrial and modernist take. “Unfold“, his debut album from last year saw huge acclaim and cemented the moniker as

• Generic, forced Melodic Techno structure • Same vocals from the prior track • Mediocre Chill Mix branded as a follow-up It’s quite not so long ago when I remember grading a ninety to “Lullaby“, nearly five years ago when R3HAB and Mike Williams created a magical single in their very first partnership. The Future

• Tropical House with Robin Schulz influences • Plenty of presence from Lucas Estrada • Superlative debut from vocalist Polarwulf From the minds of five artists together, the VINAI brothers are making us used to several hits (and misses) in the past, and thus I waited for something more satisfying! “In The Dark”, produced by

• Dean Lewis with an unforgettable performance • Kygo’s pianoforte vibrant as ever • Great synergy, although an overused recipe If I am being candid here, Kygo doesn’t really strike me as the most exciting artist to write about, at least in the domain of electronic music. He’s undoubtedly the pioneer that steered Tropical House

• Excellent vocal presence from Daye • Meticulous and subtle detailing on the drop • Quality over creativity It’s been a considerable duration since I heard about Future Generation, the existing spin-off of the esteemed TNC Recordings. Racking up a steady flow of well-selected Future Bass releases, there’s a lot to dig from its catalog!

• Laidback tones with a soulful vocal as the protagonist • Carefully curated sound design • Pinch of slap vibes in the Deep House drop After popping into my submission inbox quite unexpectedly, I was immediately stuck to the hooking vocal and the laidback atmosphere that goes around it! With the summer almost here, my

• Classy vocal, the dominant element of the release • Kungs-like influences in the happy drop • Decent breakdown, yet generic bassline Every time I get reminded that my reviews are focused on the same aliases and that it’s time I should focus on newer names and their creative outputs, there’s always this release that

• Standout vocal, accompanied by piano • Slower rhythm, ode to old-school Prog • Slight Future Rave add-ons! Felippe Mela isn’t a familiar name to me, yet his attempt on Future Rave has convinced me firmly to write a few lines, as it has impressive results to show! With a few indie releases on his

• Usual, forgettable chill structure • WATTS sings, alone and unsupported • Personality in the pluck, great percussions There isn’t much to begin with this Friday, so I caught myself lazily skimming through the releases, searching for familiar names. Don Diablo popped up, and “Face To Face” (featuring WATTS), is a reluctant choice of mine

• Slower pace minus the cheesiness • Heart-warming vocal • Different theme, yet for the holidays Before this year goes into the oblivion, I couldn’t resist on mentioning one of the more interesting names of 2021, KAAZE. His efforts are admirably ingenious, building a particular sound design while experimenting with the BLK RSE project in

• Unexpected break after their hiatus • An approach to the deep and melodic • Addressable shortcomings to potentially a great start If you’re one of those readers who voraciously engaged with EDM in the past decade, then your eyes must sure be here. And why wouldn’t it be, we are talking about a name

Out of all the comments that our fans left about “Harmonica Andromeda” (from here on denoted as HA), one in particular impressed me the most, stating “KSHMR created an album knowing that its songs won’t be played live (in the upcoming months)”. That’s the key for comprehending this LP, a compilation that brings forth a

• Mellow and charming presence • Minimal, yet intriguing till end • Memorable ambience A few days back, we asked our community on which song would they prefer us to talk about and a sheer number of individuals mentioned of this track. Upon further inspection, I understand now. Up and coming music producer Yeti Tears

Welcome to our first exclusive series for this year, “Lost Labels Of Yesterday”. In this trilogy, we will remind ourselves of music imprints that decided to hit the brake; whether long-forgotten or recently abandoned. While this would not be an in-depth analysis, we will attempt to find the reason on why these once thriving labels

• Relaxing atmosphere and a serene vibe • Slow and calming melody • Lo-Fi track useful for late-hour study sessions This wasn’t planned. “1.45 am.” has been suggested by a fan as an outcome to our fun contest held through our IG stories, but I must admit that this lo-fi production does a great charm

• Catchy and minimal instrumental • Heartwarming vocal presence • Summery and nostalgic themed Even if the northern hemisphere now dips in temperature slowly as each day passes by, luckily there are Electronic songs which will help us reminisce of the warmer season for rest of the wintry times. And we have just the catchy
