• Atmozfears on fire; remix after an album! • Peculiar switch in breakdown • Loses catchy-ness, gains personality There’s a thing that still gives me some hope about Spinnin’ Records, and it’s the fact that sometimes they let Hardstyle veterans re-work their classic releases without imposing limitations, and that just happened with “With Another Day”.

• Old-school schematics • Impacting drop, outstanding melody • Melancholic piano This time around, I didn’t ask the members of our Discord server for the monthly community’s choice, leading to a slight guilt for the crazy tunes they suggested. This month however, I am focusing on the promo channel. What is it about, you ask?

Had your fill of watching bunch of fictional Korean characters getting killed for money, but now browsing through your Insta feed? Well, perhaps you can spare some attention to this edition of Weekly Roundup. Let’s see checks list: we have new singles from the likes of Afrojack, SaberZ, Nina Kraviz and more to talk about,

• Sprightly melody • Sensual and a catchy vocal • Summer vibes for a rather cold autumn I lost track of Futurized a couple of months for unexplainable reasons. Perhaps I was busier poking my head searching for filthier Dubstep songs or anything closely related… Never mind. One recent day, I happened to ask on

• Ingenious sampling choice • Upbeat instrumental • Great homage to an evergreen hit It was about time that Fred Again.. would become a subject to one of my articles. After the delayed realization and discovery of his earlier successes, I was enthusiastically ready to cover any of his latest single. And there couldn’t be

• Relaxing mood with minimalism and warm vocals • Bass House x Future House combo • Aiaya’s performance is brilliant! My latest reviews were focused on the top artists in the scene so I was wondering to review something interesting from a relatively unknown name that I am sure he/she will deserve more support than

• 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

• Tropical x Future House • Laidback groove • Vocals that enhance the above-said mood It is particularly funny that one of my favorite songs of this summer got crafted in a place where, at the moment, it’s winter. Chores and Elaskia (from New Zealand and Australia) just gave me a great time with their

• Reviewing a peculiar team-up… • Gospel vocalist Mia Lexie with the veteran Janousek! • Joyous Eurodance drop There’s something in this extremely intriguing production that leaves a touch of nostalgia amidst confusion… like something is off, yet a guilty pleasure nevertheless. You see, “Time For Love” (Club Mix, in particular) is a peculiar song

Trivia of the week – In a 2018 financial survey, the global value of EDM industry was estimated over 7.9 billion USD. Hey, hey and hey! Episode seventh eh? Not bad, not bad at all. Glad to have you here, even if the intro segments are becoming increasingly offbeat. There seemed to be a sharp

• “Interstellar” vibes • Emotional and pulsating drop • Exquisite vocal performance Fun fact: I lost complete interest on Hexagon this year. Not an amusing thought I know, despite being a blunt fact that will be agreed by some. The once leading brand of Spinnin’ Records went independent, and also launched countless sub-labels to push

• A mix between Bass and Future House • Calmer and experimental winning take from DMNX • Honorable mention: BLUK’s aggressive remix As promised, we have reviewed the victor for the “Pass Me By” charity remix contest.

While not being a fanatic of the Future House genre, it is a style that often outputs rare gems from either the reputed acts making, or an insane amount of copy-pastas that continue doing the same predictable things, leading up to “quantity-over-quality” publishers such as FHC. Yet amidst this complaint of mine, I recently started

• Stale Deep House bassline • Flat performance by Smash Mouth, yet a warm vocal! • The trumpet is now… A sax Putting the hilarious memes aside, Smash Mouth have proved themselves as catchy vocalists, and Timmy Trumpet seized this opportunity and played his cards well to create a potential summer hit. Even though, I

• FHC influenced structure • Clever workings in the lead synths • Standardized vocal presence Some forty-eight hours ago, I revealed about my “listener’s block” and how it is struggling to find anything interesting to write about the big, important releases that come in great numbers every Friday or so. I also mentioned about “exceptions”,

• Zesty vocal performance • Energetic and pulsating drop • Mixed feelings after conclusion After a few months on not updating myself to newest offerings from Different Records’ catalog, the reason solely being the tracks didn’t convince me entirely (with some exceptions, of course). After this, I decided to take a look on what they

• Exotic flute bringing a breath of fresh air • Big Room-ish, clashing low-end • A real experiment with Future House, interesting! Can I take a moment and be brutally honest? Oh yes, it’s my article after all. Lately I have considered Thomas Gold as one of those many top honchos who are just here

• Old-school drop in newer sleeves! • Simple structure but full of elements • Trademark vocal tone from FHC In the recent week, I stated in my “I Took A Pill In Ibiza” review that Future House Cloud is a label that deserves more respect because (apart of their Slap House release akin to dark
