    • Esoteric arp melody • Driving techno beat • Dark and playful If it’s versatility, Oliver Heldens has never been short of it.

    Sharing my thoughts on the new EP from Lars has made me quite cheery! The versatile American creative decided to bring forth his vision of the Future Rave genre, after several interesting creations (on top of all, “Poison“). Yes, his EP “Journey of The Soul” can’t be easily genre-labeled, but there’s a peculiar concurrence of

    • Repetitious vocal loop • Eerie atmosphere, typical of these releases • Hypnotic aura Not more than a week ago, I mentioned the duo CryJaxx when discussing about Phonk, a new talk of the town in terms of trending genre, and here we go again with a fresh release on Tribal Trap! Together with Sinny,

    • The drop… It’s missing something • Annoying vocals in both break and drop • Still deserves praise for leaving comfort zone. Perhaps it has become easier to bash the occasional Quintino‘s vapid releases, but hey, it’s much fun! We love and respect the Dutch creator, who is the mastermind behind several of our favorite

    • Lots of classic Ummet Ozcan influence • Will Sparks’ climactic twist at the end • Attention to detail toward the ambiance There was a certain time in the past that a collaboration deal struck between Will Sparks and Ummet Ozcan would have rendered me breathless… Now, after several disappointing projects from the Dutch producer

    • Approach towards Festival Techno • Suspenseful intro from the vocals • Heavier kicks and low-end Following the events of last evening, when our IG followers suggested some great tunes, my attention was turned towards a gem from OverSky, almost by surprise.

    • 90s Trance & Future Rave • Old-school intro, futuristic drop afterward • Simple structure brimming with energy It’s hard to describe exactly what’s catching my attention in such a hypnotic way in “The Return”; the newest and magnetic release by Mark Roma hit the jackpot with a splendid and proficient sound design! The tune

    • Impressive structural changes on the drops • Emotional vocal unexpected, as per title • Top-tier sounds, in line with Rave Culture Ben Nicky wasn’t the name in the Rave Culture roster that caught my attention the most, which I must admit, since my preferences aren’t so greatly devoted to Trance… But the British producer

    • Wobbly dubstep with arcade sounds • Simple execution, effective result • Last release on NSD If you’re one of the beloved dubstep admirers, I am sure MUST DIE! needs no introduction.

    So, Quartzo has slowly lost its mantle of being one of the most influential labels in the Festival EDM niche on SoundCloud, having published hundreds of releases. Nowadays, it has channeled itself into BLVCKBØX. At first, this was a textbook “Dark-themed” sub-label, although now it is the only active part remaining under the once-thriving network.

    So, after 4 years, the beloved Dutch producer Hardwell is finally back! And with the complete package! An upcoming Album “Rebels Never Die“, a worldwide tour, this UMF liveset… And a new style.

    • Captivating vocal, distorted in a curious and effective way • Impressive approach with the sound design • Slightly similar to the previous track “Games” Usually, writing doesn’t pose me a significant challenge, however I am taking the opportunity to share a rather difficult review for a song. The complication: I cannot categorize it into
