• Delicate breakdown section • Heavy and darker mood in the drop by ÜHÜ • Electro House influences in the old school lead It makes me glad to see ÜHÜ, one of the most competent talents from Controversia (Alok‘s label), receiving a well-merited team-up with the imprint owner himself. The pair has already remixed “It
I know, I know: the earlier mentioned promise of stopping with the ADE sampler holds no good, as the results from the Revealed one were impressive and, Intensity deserves its own mention! The independent label has set up an admirable compilation with five tracks from talented and lesser-known figures. As expected, there’s much to talk
• A mix between orchestral and trap • Delicate, smooth vocal performance • Unexpected aggressiveness in the drop Oni Nillsen remains a near-mystical figure for me. Except for his first name, which is Nick, there is not much information about him, at least on the internet bubble. No bio, no press release to expand about
Before I proceed, let’s begin with the initial thought of how I wasn’t as keen about reviewing Hardwell‘s hiatus-breaking album “REBELS NEVER DIE“. My opinion concerning his recent Festival Techno sound remains intact since the day the post-UMF article “Welcome back, Hardwell!” came out. Reiterating that here, in short, it’s simply not my cup of
• Dirty leads, relentless bassline • Unstopping rave-like sequences • Minimal with finer attention to details You may know Yultron for a plethora of interesting releases in the Dub/Bass House realm, including a supreme “Nightlight” remix in 2021, or “Taken” along with Zeds Dead, and more recently, his experimentation with Trance as heard in “Here
• Techno-minded take on Soft Cell’s hit • A retro atmosphere to match the theme • Unexpected minimalism with fulfilling additives Declain bounds himself to experimenting with his ideal sound, this time bringing a darker Techno sound together with his trademark funky twist. Let’s be honest, “Tainted Love” adapts for the recent underground trend, without
• 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
Yes, prepare yourself. Our rare sigil of approval is going to stamp upon Justin Prime’s nascent label, NEXCHAPTER (including its sublabel Future NEX). That’s pretty much fun considering the Dutch producer has rarely convinced me in recent years, before the “reborn” thanks to Rave Culture’s initiatives. When met by the announcement of the commence of
• Sweeping vocal performance • Explosive and lively drops • Plenty of details to admire As I am suffering in the rather stifling heatwave dominating over my place with a boiling hundred and four degrees as the mercury keeps rising, it seems there are even more summer releases heading my way. Anyways, some of my
Seems like artists are taking full advantage of the warmer days: plenty of new music has arrived just in time from reputed figures such as Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Calvin Harris, and so on. Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Young Thug – Potion 83/100 After a year off from his main alias, Calvin Harris resurfaced by
• Reminiscent of two earlier Hardwell Edits! • Bouncy drop with a unique lead signature • Future Rave influences in the buildup There’s an unshakeable feeling that MAKJ is near to completion of an album drop, after years and years of working in the EDM industry. Firstly, with his characteristic Electro House trademark, now slightly
• Back to 2014 • A fewer changes, otherwise the same • A potential club hit for this year The infamous Tiesto edits are becoming almost unbearable these days, but every week or two I wonder where exactly the Dutch star is heading towards with his style, as I can’t figure out what exactly he’s
It was merely by 2013, as I remember, a particularly buzzing Electro House song was being rotated everywhere on the electronic music festival circuits. Its creator, a fresh-faced and zealous twenty-four-year-old Dutch DJ/Producer, was receiving astronomical success (though he wasn’t a stranger to any of that, thanks to massive records like “Zero 76”). In the
• Highly awaited ID • Strongly supported by W&W • Unexpected Big Room synergy Lately, Rave Culture has expanded in the market and made remarkable progress with top-notch releases. This year, we have already seen multiple collaborations, namely Sandro Silva, Wiwek, and finally the launch of the darker and dystopian-mooded sub-label made by W&W in
• Oldschool vibes, already heard in “Revolution” and “Go” • Very dynamic drop, insignificant breakdown • Entertaining outcome, suitable… For clubs, obviously MAKJ isn’t a particularly prolific artist, but when he starts making Electro House, things get spicy! His new banger, “Club Sound”, released via Timmy Teumpet’s Sinphony, brings back that oldschool vibes that amazed
• 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
Busier times has followed with advent of December for me, so apologies for the last roundup being absent. Musical aliases, on the other hand, have been on the grind and so on this special instalment of roundup, there’s releases from this and the last Friday. Let’s cut to the chase then! David Guetta, MORTEN –
• Nostalgic and creative • Darker first impression • Future Rave drop with Big Room undertone The relatively less-known Revealed sub-label BODY WRMR has reappeared again. After a brief look through, I found out that Jeffrey Sutorius is the brains behind the operations (the logo reminded me slightly of the Dash Berlin). In fact, “Hypnotized”
• Future Rave melody with Psy-trance elements • A redemption for the original track • Over-used formula We recently published the following part for the Squid Game remixes, but at the time of writing, this one wasn’t out yet. The original version of “Red Light, Green Light” was nothing short of disappointment, s boring Slap
• TripL essence with J&S signature in back • Ardent vocal loop, catchy outcome • Potential left untouched Jewelz & Sparks are by far one of my favourite pair in the scene, as they still brandish their signature which gave them a reputed career. Their steely drums and minimal groove are unique, recognizable and works
• Funky sax • Playful low-pitched vocal • Commercial as it gets, new Tik Tok hit Timmy Trumpet’s bouncier style hasn’t impressed me all too well. One has to admire his ability to expand upon other genres at his will, yet Bounce isn’t an endeavour worth mentioning. He nearly redeemed that with “Cardio”, a playful
