• Uses pizzicato lead, with a brutal bassline • Energetic drop sequence, although short • Equally focused breakdown with vocal It’s time to showcase a new name to EDM Reviewer’s community: NHEIRO, hailing from Germany! The producer has impressed me with a striking release on Madox Network (which rarely misses, these days), “We Got The
• Disco vibes smoothly merged with Declain’s Progressive • Fetching chopped vocal loop • Vivacious drop melody, with a retro sheen Over the years, my admiration for the Dutch talent has steadily increased, as shown across many other reviews dedicated on his music that we shared. Varying from Festival Progressive to more experimental and creatively
• Came for Big Room, received gold • Mishmash of influences • Classy vocal performance Well, I am speechless to even begin describing what a fool, and eventually grateful I am for discovering this track. Fool, for I was ignorantly expecting some sort of typical Big Room, Progressive, or Bass House, since this label’s inclination
• 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. For the uninitiated, this is a producer who has become one of NSD’s pillars and is perhaps best known for the album “Crisis
• Several months after the release of “The Core”, Caster remixed it • Amazing atmosphere with heavy Trance influences • Stunning melodic drop! I’m not feeling miserly in my life, but when it comes to 90+… They are so rare that I gave only one in 2021 (to the amazing “Symphony by” Aspyer). Fourteen months
The second week of March is no stranger to notable releases: Chainsmokers, Blasterjaxx, MAKJ, and more are in this week’s Instalment of the roundup! Armin van Buuren, R3HAB – Love We Lost 72/100 After dabbling with Techno in “We Can Dance Again”, the Dutch heavyweight took a sharp U-turn towards radio-ready sounds, and even he
• Melodic Dubstep at its finest • Warmer tones wrapped in a satisfying atmosphere • That drop! After receiving this song as a submission over sixty days ago, I did something unusual: scribbling down my thoughts instead of postponing them to a full review that I would write 2-3 days before posting. Yet, even after
• TWIIG are back with Deep House • Great vocal on the break, except in the drop • Noteworthy details in the final segment Alternating between quality releases and long hiatuses, TWIIG hasn’t waned down and kept it equally interesting to see what they’re involved in and how their experimental shift in sound is ongoing.
• Orchestral and delightful drops from V&G • Even Christmas lunch was more digestible than Tungevaag’s drop • Aloma Steele with her mesmerizing vocals In our series of reviews, we have mentioned the Dutch pair Voster & Gallardo (hereby mentioned as V&G) and with this significant team-up, it’s finally time for a proper review! These
• What’s going on with the vocals? • Creative switch between drops • Arcade-like lead with a 00’s vibe Being always first in line to commend genuine experiments and deploring boring and “safe” releases, I feel sorry to do so now. This one here, is simply too much. Dharma Worldwide, by far, remains as one
• Reggae influences • Simplicity done well • Lacking creative twists Despite not being marketed and promoted as thoroughly, Zafrir’s newest offering has come out on a nascent label (the Dutch BB Music Group B.V), and it’s clearly something crafted minding a more commercial audience. Nonetheless, I think this deserves a mention even if predictable.
• Nostalgia, with creativity • Complexities that seize attention • Darker and brutal first impression The review for “Diddy Bop” perhaps has the same statements as I am about to make on this one, however I wasn’t fully convinced about ZAXX’s renewed interest in Big Room and his capabilities to reinvent the style back then…
• Halloween themed track • Georgia Ku’s atmospheric performance • I prefer to not spoil the drop, really, you’ll see it down below… Dubstep fans are most certainly rejoicing after waiting for this tune so long since its première in Lost Lands. This happens to be an extraordinaire synergy shared between two historical producers from
• Happy hardcore on Revealed! • Retro hi-NRG 80s vibe • Catchy lyrics, very memorable Back again on Revealed? I lost my interest on Hardwell’s label because of the sloppy amount of generic Future and Bass House being uploaded (special shout-out to the QR Network’s research!). Dr Phunk, after KAAZE, remains as one of 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
• Great vocal yet lacks euphoria • Exquisite melody • Cut-and-dried drop DWX copyright free imprint’s Instagram account was made offline several months ago, but I heard the sub-label has great artists and its releases are interesting. They finally happened to publish a new work baked fresh from the lab of Wav3motion, a promising upcoming
• Obliterating my ears (in a good way) • Retro-futuristic melody • Glitchy drop, funny ear-blasters included It’s officially summer for a while now, however I didn’t yet manage to find any tune to fit for the season, especially as festivals are marking a return. In my long effortless search for a while, I finally
Third time’s the charm, eh? Well, we will see if the third round of Weekly Roundup™ has any more surprises in store for us. It is one of those slow weeks for me, with rainy clouds having seized upon the lands I reside and showering inches repeatedly since last Friday. So pardon me if there
Instagram is full of debatable trends, between challenges and hashtags, but there is one that never dies: cheaters illegally boosting their stats. This rant is not specifically about the music world, but we are really against these unethical methods. We did a little investigation about some producers who were clearly using bots to watch our
83\100 Let’s start the week with a super bootleg by DROP, an Italian duo from Turin. The two guys challenged themselves remixing “Reload”, one of the most important tracks of the EDM history. Being one of my favorite songs ever (even when it was still instrumental), I’m obviously very affectionate to it. Ruining “Reload” (and
