There’s no denying that producers and new plugins are a match made in heaven. Plenty of music creators get enthusiastic about what’s coming up in the plugin industry: and well, there’s one actually. Yesterday, the Breda-based dance music veteran, Hardwell, posted a teaser for his upcoming plugin called “Spacecontrol”. This is a team-up between the
Before we all move into the fifth month, this end-of-the-month Friday is bringing out top names the likes of Hardwell and Ummet Ozcan. Let’s go through this week’s picks for the roundup! Hardwell – Black Magic 81/100 Tapping into his roots even further, the Breda-based heavyweight is molding together his techno and electro sounds, as
Instead of penning a detailed account of the awaited “Paradise Again”, I would rather like focus on the overall state of EDM albums as of late. Usually, there aren’t as many worth mentioning as most producers have shifted towards singles or EPs, yet the combination of an extended pandemic, hiatuses and comebacks, and coincidences bring
• Showtek’s familiar influences are here! • Energetic drops with a Brazilian theme • Featuring Booyah’s famous singer, Sonny Wilson Both Willem and Ward have evolved a lot since they produced Bigroom in 2013… They had experimented with genres likes Happy Hardcore, Future House, Progressive House, Trance, Trap, and we can going on for a
The initiating day of the April month is Friday and well.. artists aren’t fooling around. We have names such as Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Kura, and more in this first edition of Weekly Roundup from the second quarter of the year. Hardwell – Into The Unknown (Alternative Perspective) Before you proceed to feel puzzled, don’t. There’s
• A narrative opening by “Broken Mirror” • Driving/peak time techno with “Into The Unknown” • A step away from Big Room/Dirty Dutch The reappearance of one of the most beloved artists of our audience has left most of us thrilled, although, on that basis, I cannot casually lean towards any favoritism. That being said,
So, after 4 years, the beloved Dutch producer Hardwell is finally back! And with the complete package! An upcoming Album “Rebels Never Die“, a worldwide tour, this UMF liveset… And a new style. Love it or hate it, what’s sure is that Hardwell has abruptly changed his view of music, taking a different, way darker
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
• Future Rave/Trance with Progressive • Energetic drops, slower breakdown • Lesser featuring of Future Rave After his recent departure from being the face of former trio Dash Berlin, Jeffrey Sutorius hasn’t slacked any since. Nowadays, he’s a familiar face on Revealed Recordings with his BODYWRMR imprint designated under the Dutch label. Anyways, there’s nothing
Today we are here for a brief reflection at Hardwell’s appearance during the last Revealed ADE event. I wasn’t expecting that, and was pleasantly surprised by the following 20 minutes long B2B event. A bunch of my favourite artists (Blasterjaxx, KAAZE, Dr. Phunk, Blackcode and more) had much fun together with the fans. Sure, Hardwell
• 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
Four summers back, the Swedish Progressive House hotshot Mick Kastenholt, better known to the public as KAAZE, teamed up with the veteran Dutch heavyweight Hardwell alongside singer Jonathan Mendelsohn to synergize “We Are Legends“, a stunner of a festival track which prevailed. Premiering at Ultra Europe 2016 by the Revealed label-head, it became the centre
My relationship with Revealed has been on a steep downhill in the last months, since I am not a big fan of generic Bass House, yet my respect remains untainted for the label. For celebrating its 10th year of existence, there is a brand new Remixed EP that comes with a bunch of Hardwell classics
• Tribal and Psy-Trance influences • Generic and overused structure • Catchy drop (but is there an equal teamwork?) Taking a quick look into the rather unpredictable schedule of Revealed Recordings, this particular work made me surprised because of the parties involved in making it. First we have Carta, an esteemed figure on the genre
Before going any further, a question comes to my mind: how many of you remember tuning into radio-shows after schools or during work to take some stress off the shoulders? Many will agree, as listening to the hand-selected tracks mixed by your favourite heavyweight is a great way of spending time. Last Friday marked a
• Hardwell’s comeback is not happening sooner • The duo worked hard on the percussions, the other excelled in the breakdown • Hard-hitting structure that could have dared experimenting This marks my first review for this year: a difficult one, because there is a backstory behind this release, which will probably be enjoyed by a
• Dash Berlin back on Revealed after the disappointing “Dragonfly” • Blackcode is getting his deserved recognition • Quality Progressive House, with commonplace schematics This Revealed release just couldn’t be missed, due to its significance. And I am proudly writing down these lines, mainly because of two important reasons. Blackcode has shown imminent growth and
The next month has real treats in store for many video-game fanatics, and we are getting an early taste of it with leading Canadian-based corporation Ubisoft announcing its newest launch “Watch Dogs: Legion” on this Thursday. And it is getting a befitting octane-filled soundtrack from none other than leading veteran duo Blasterjaxx. They excitedly announced
It has been a while since we heard from the former numero uno heavyweight Hardwell. The Dutch act took a sudden hiatus from what he described as hectic and strenuous DJing career in 2018, and since released singles and collaborations, with his last work being “Go To War” with the native Suyano. Keeping a quieter
A couple of days ago, we assisted to various negative reactions towards Mariana Bo after she declared that, in her opinion, Hardwell’s music was “generic”. “She’s an hater!!!1!”, many fans stated. We understand her, it’s a classic accusation we receive when we negatively review something. Today we will make some clarification about this overused word
Easter is incoming and, as the tradition follows, the Easter Bunny brings children (and adults alike, let’s be honest!) chocolate eggs with some delightful surprises inside! Historically, these eggs were hidden in gardens and parks, and hunts were organised for finding them. In recent times, the term “Easter Egg” gained a new meaning, related to
