• An orchestra-EDM fusion • Calmer flow than expected • Trap and Dubstep vibes are still here in the background It’s been a while since I had the honor of giving Apashe one of my first 90+ ratings, making me glad to see that the Montreal-based creative has kept pushing boundaries. Performing at Electric Forest,
• Straightforward design • Interesting lead synth choice • Festival techno get-up In a never-happened scenario, two interesting EDM figures decided to team up. What came out of that association is attention-grabbing and hence this article. American creators MAKJ and Luis Torres hit the studio together for an uptempo, fun-packed techno experience “PSA.” Although we
• Too short! Too short! • Loved how Kobe Mane avoided tropes and followed the original outline • Trumpets are “free to breathe” Generally, easy formulas are hard to praise especially when it comes to Phonk, where I have observed artists picking up literally everything from Beethoven to Rihanna, slapping a Phonk bassline and calling
• Catchy tech house set up • Playful sound design • Featuring the original soundtrack Yeah, we had fun with this one. Tongue-in-cheek edits/remixes are abundant, but rarely do they leave a solid impression. That is contrary to Kolter’s newest underground cut, which urged us to feature on the blog. “Radio Los Santos” is an
• Aspyer vibes in the formula • Captivating, explosive drop • Surprising delicateness in transitions Only 5 months back, Crash & Smile got featured on our blog for a good Future Rave track “By Your Side“, although I didn’t prefer the generic structuring of the release. However, I have to admit that Yohann Warren surprised
• Fast paced arrangements • Piano-led melody • Not so far from Schulz’s sound Robin Schulz is no stranger to the hitmaking process, after several acclaimed EDM albums and gaining colossal success with releases such as “Prayer in C” and the recent 2022 anthem “Miss You“. Unfolding a new chapter, he introduced the alias of
• Acceptable summer release • Afro Bros dominating the base • Akon is not as hypnotic as Daddy Yankee Who remembers “Instagram”? That 2019 summer hit from the most random name’s together: in the order of appearance from Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, David Guetta, Daddy Yankee, Afro Bros & Natti Natasha. The follow-up “She
As I mentioned in my previous review of “Eye Of The Storm”, Ironheart has a remarkable talent for creating not just stories or tales, but entire journeys through his music. With a unique blend of Dubstep, PsyTrance, Electro House, and orchestral/medieval elements, his latest EP, “Outremer“, released by New Dawn Collective, delivers a solid 90+
• Captivating blend of Hardstyle, Bass House, Future Rave, and Big Room influences • Uniquely reimagined classical structure • Dynamic and ever-evolving composition I must confess, it’s truly a delight to witness such an extraordinary amalgamation in “Bring The Fire,” especially considering its release on the renowned Spinnin’ Records! Despite my personal qualms about Timmy
• Too perfect to be true • That’s a chorus to sing along! • Avicii/Calvin Harris drop vibe “Endless Summer” is a great song: I would say there’s a 50% chance of becoming a dance music hit for 2023 (similar to “I’m Good” by Guetta the previous year). It includes everything from catchy vocals, Avicii-like
• Close to Bicep’s sound • Deep House elements • Appealing vocals For a while, Tiesto’s eclectic catalog has become even more dedicated towards commercial dance-pop, as his recent album “Drive” signals this move further. Breaking this pattern is his most recent release “Drifting,” which takes a different turn from the usual routine. The song
• Great vocal cover from JD Davis • House-focused layout • Built around the original’s bassline A fresh collaboration has emerged in the wild involving Oliver Heldens & DJs From Mars. An interesting synergy, as DJs from Mars have made a solid reputation for specializing in mashups in the EDM industry and teamed up with
• Original vocal keeping its dynamism • Tiësto’s signature basslines, with a pinch of Progressive • Very clean and professional outcome Let’s say that this remix wasn’t easy to improve for the Dutch creator. British vocalist Allegra released a delightful Dance Pop tune last month, “Round & Round”, which alternates between a lively vocal rendition
• Unique take on the viral song • Darker bassline on the lighter pop tune • Minimal, but gets the job done When I approved a review of “Tourner Dans Le Vide” by 6SIXSIX, little did I know about the fact that it has been used countless times in memes involving Andrew Tate, the radical
• Laney with a crazy vocal show • Elegant and heart-breaking strings • Genres and ideas unified in the drop NCS has struck back again by “discovering” great talents. Well, discovering might be a bit of an exaggeration, as it’s been years since the talented Clarx has released bangers on the label, but only recently
• Future Bounce à la Brooks • Solid, well-designed structure with breakdown • Less innovative, but delivers a sound performance We are back here talking about Poylow and MAD SNAX after their splendid “Drop In The Ocean“, made available again by NCS! This trio is impressing me, and now there are the polyvalent skills of
• Hexagon return with a signature finale • Experimenting with vocal distortions • Big twist in the end Albin Myers is a Swedish moniker who holds an enormous amount of experience as a DJ/Producer. He achieved several notable releases in the past fifteen years in the EDM world, with remix duties for Avicii and Axwell
• Only the riff is part of the Olive’s original • Futuristic drop over a nostalgic theme • Clear passion felt on the tribute’s work In 1996, Olive released the hit “Not Alone”. In the next 25 years, the track has been reworked many times in the EDM world, from names like ATB, Saberz and
• Usual reggaeton base • Following the trend of “La Bachata” • Lack of versatility It seems that Latin music is gathering more traction as of late, with several records getting plenty repeats on foreign radios and stations even when summer is yet to arrive. Shakira and similar others are dominating positions in the global
• Minimal, electro sounds • Appealing and mysterious vocals • Quick-paced and funky Meet “AVA”: the latest creation from Elohim and Funkin Matt, published by Heldeep records. Much like the label owner donning the alias of HI-LO for fashionable and distinctive techno, the mentioned track matches that signature with style and creativity. If talking about
• Minimal breakdowns • Overpowering drops • Greatly performed vocals Dada Life’s Crash & Smile, the sub-imprint under Revealed Recordings has grown its legion of forthcoming producers who deserve the exposure. A promising collaboration emerged there, involving Blink, Kazden, and Jetty Rachers: three aliases that designed an interesting festival-ready track “One Day Soon”. Vocalizing the
