• Rework of the Nomad (and Bingo Players) hit • Not-so-predictable approach • Homage to 10 years of career “Devotion” marks a significant milestone in KSHMR‘s illustrious career as he celebrates 10 years of the project. Teaming up with 22Bullets, the duo delivers yet another stellar performance, showcasing their collective genius and creativity. The choice
• Exploration of Future Rave with Melodic Techno • Punchy Chords and a Techno beat • Fascinating vocals The highly anticipated return of David Guetta and MORTEN brings us two scorching hot tracks – “The Future Is Now” and “The Truth.” These releases exemplify their signature “Future Rave” sound, blending high-energy beats with underground vibes,
• Clear distinctions between their respective styles • Two drops bursting with energy and aggression • Infectious melody and lively basslines The Rave Culture roster has started to feel somewhat predictable, with the same familiar names consistently delivering quality productions, but lacking that spark of innovation that new talent often brings. That’s precisely why I’m
• Psy elements with a wobbling melody • Hypnotic but not outstanding vocal • Hard-driving melodic pattern Let’s admit this: The ‘dark’ Psy experimental endeavor by KSHMR is that gust of fresh air that the scene needed, containing powerful energy with driving basses and top-notch vocals from gritney. “All Night” is set to make us
• Consistent theme • Stellar vocals atop the instrumental • Catchy melodies that linger I’ve previously commended Jeriko’s work on the “Renaissancel” EP under Intensity Recordings, where he seamlessly melded modern Future Wave with the vibes of 2010. As I like to say, Jeriko delivered what I had hoped for from the return of SHM:
• Future rave oriented • Interesting inputs from Seth Hills • Typical features Unpredictable collaborations can turn heads— and so it did with David Guetta and Seth Hills pairing up for remixing Tiesto’s “Both” (featuring 21 Savage and BIA). An uncanny but intriguing scenario, but true to their styles, the original song got re-shaped for
• Trance and Big Room • Mighty brass stabs • Throwback to 2010s Let’s press rewind for a while. It’s 2013. The so-called EDM era is in full swing— big room, progressive house— you name it. Among several hits that came out the said year, it was Armin van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels
• Excellent initial sequence • Thrilling vocal performance! • Something amiss in the drop It’s nice to see KSHMR returning to EDM after his successful Indian hip-hop album “Karam“. A producer experimenting with new sounds in a genre he has familiarity with and passion for is fun— and while I am not the target audience—
• Massive drop sequence à la BLK RSE • Something’s missing in the central breakdown • Kudos to the desire to innovate the sound It’s been a year since my last encounter with KAAZE and his power-packed Progressive gem of “Paradise“; here we are, with the darker facade to the Swedish moniker— one can hazard
• Not a fan of the vocal • Explosive drop with Future Rave melodies • Exceptional work with meticulously chosen elements I hadn’t come across Wave Wave before, and, in general, Mentalo Music (my only mention was some years ago, suggesting that the label was still in its early stages of development). But it seems
• A fearless exploration of new sounds • High-Pitched Note as the protagonist • Angelic Vocal Loop in the breakdown What instantly grabbed my attention with “High Up In The Air” is its boldness in experimenting with a fresh sound, constructing an entire drop section around it, and layering a mysterious breakdown on top. It’s
• Drop with a robust concept • Trance buildup for the finale • First-rate vocal placement As Hardwell & co remain busy preparing for Big Room Techno bangers (anyone interested in a “Shotgun” Review?), I decided to direct my attention to newer talents instead. With less hype— and high expectations comparatively— this is where I
• 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
• 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
• 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
• Excellent work on the atmosphere creation • Mellow drops with dynamic percussions • Great sinergy with David Emde’s vocal Prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the captivating Deep House creation from some unexpected names! Blaikz, a German artist known for his solid releases on various independent labels, joins forces with the French talent maloww.,
• MAKJ debuts on Confession • Techno with captivating drops • Decent vocals After a few interesting releases such as “Beautiful Life” (with PURARI) and the Future Rave venture “One Night” on Tomorrowland Music, the American creative MAKJ has entered another genre… Jumping on the Mau P bandwagon as his “Burning Rave” has a familiar
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
• Experimental hybrid of styles • Future Rave with ZNZBR‘s twist • Even more suitable for Intensity’s sound! A while back, we praised ZNZBR‘s hard-hitting House sound, which seamlessly blends Tech House influences with a Festival mentality that perfectly aligns with Intensity Recording’s style. “Anywhere” was great, but I couldn’t help but feel that it
• An unfinished final twist • Energetic, albeit predictable • Hooky melody for the entire duration My attention has been fixated on Achilles after a couple of successful signings with Revealed Recordings, while the Indian pair LostVolts/SASH already have a few exciting collaborations together. Their joint effort culminated in “Take Me”, a stamina-laden Future Rave
• Refined Progressive House structure • Standard breakdown, nice vocal • Complex yet streamlined melody After the saddening revelation about Timmy Trumpet, I wasn’t in the mood for giving space to the ‘bigshots’ who evidently have no time, talent, or interest to spare in creating genuine music for their fans. Rather, we want to promote
