Another year, another Tomorrowland, another Tomorrowland EP from the bosses Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. Unfortunately, this time we are not really happy with the results: apart of a couple of nice tracks, the selection disappointed us, especially because of the high expectations. Let’s begin! Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs. Hardwell – Unity
96/100 • An Anthem of the whole genre • Blasterjaxx and Hardwell together, this time for something over the expectations • Mitch Crown, what a vocal! “Big Room Never Dies” is evidently not just a song, but a concept. An Anthem. With a capital A. When in 10 years people will talk about Big Room,
74/100 Written by Allax Since the end of 2015, Hardwell has been exercising heavily in his studio to polish his hardstyle production skills. 2017’s ‘Make The World Ours‘ was a step in the right direction. This path is becoming clearer as time goes by, to the point where Robbert has been joined by an all-time
Each week we’ll be partnering with The QR Network to compile a short recap of notable tracks that we didn’t have time to cover during the previous week. We hope you enjoy our selection and if you have any tracks you’d like to see here, please feel free to use our contact form or post your suggestions in the
92/100 In many (many!) years of listening to electronic music, I learned to do two important things: to praise consistency and to talk about music after multiple listens. That’s it for my moral speech today, I don’t wanna bore you. After years, Hardwell still impresses me with his festival house works. I’m proud to say
81/100 The Dutch mastermind Hardwell has surely kept major plans for this year, as we have yet another aggressive and festival-dominant production from him. Teaming up with the renowned English vocalist Harrison, the track is classic pumping Electro house enriched with intense synths and striking components. Titled “Earthquake”, it showcases suitable power to decimate any
Steve Aoki has always shown an eccentric musical behaviour, with an unpredictable and creative style. 5OKI is the final form, a kind of summary of this incredible producer, who even after years of hits manages to impress and amaze his fanbase and us. Yes, we were a bit doubtful about 5OKI, because of a
88\100 We have, in front of us, one of the most interesting, exciting and mysterious songs of the year. Let’s begin with a confirmation: Magnomite are Hardwell & Julian Calor. Spotify confirmed it (Thanks to our fan Arthur for pointing it out)! “Thunder” has been announced a long time ago, but nobody didn’t actually hear
84/100 Collaborating for the second time with renowned Dutch DJ/Producer Hardwell, Dr Phunk has adeptly, for the first time, stepped out of his usual production style and proved his versatility. After the major success and appreciation for “Here Once Again” on Hardwell & Friends Vol. 2, the adroit hardstyle Dutch artist has teamed up with
77/100 The fourth day of this eventful week brings us another new single from the acclaimed Dutch artist, Hardwell. This time the prodigy has collaborated with another notable Dutch duo, Jewelz & Sparks, to create an interesting Electro house track named “Safari”. The main attribute of this release that it focuses on being minimal, delivering
84\100 The third collab is the beautiful “Get Low”, by Hardwell and the Dutch duo Sick Individuals. This time, the trio decided to created an underground electro house tune. Magnetic, creative, energetic and with moombahton vibes, the tune contains enough energy for being considered as one of the best tunes of the month! The drop
86/100 After successfully hosting three hundred and fifty episodes of his podcast, the Dutch powerhouse artist Hardwell announced seven fantastic singles from him for the following week. The second day of this grand week brings forward the collaboration between the notable Dutch Producer Quintino. Entitled as ‘Woest’, this aggressive production packs in a lot of
83\100 The first song of the “Hardwell & Friends” EP is a colossal collaboration between Hardwell and Timmy Trumpet. “The Underground” is as expected, a dark and underground song, with big room, bounce and rawstyle influences. However, as one must expect when we are talking about Timmy Trumpet, the release is frenetic, creative, and unique.
87/100 Here we are! “Hands Up” is one of the biggest collaborations of the year, between the renowned Dutch powerhouses Hardwell and Afrojack, together with the singer MC Ambush. Both artists have left a significant and momentous imprint on dance music, hence the hype was really high. It has been 6 months since Afrojack first
92\100 Sbam. Sorry, Hardwell EPs, sorry “Materia” EP, but “Power” is my favorite track by both Hardwell and KSHMR in 2017. A M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E. Don’t misunderstand this high rating with being a fan of them. I was going to give a 92 to “Power” even if there was written “The Chainsmokers” on the cover. Well, wait,
80\100 Spectacular. Even if “Powermove” still remains my favorite song of the EP, “Here Once Again” conquered my heart. Once again, Hardwell demonstrated to have a special ability in picking good collaborators, this time Dr. Phunk. The Dutch hardstyle producer already showed his skills with some crazy remixes, and it was just a matter of
89\100 “Powermove” can be summarized with a word: “Woah“. In the drop, very particular, this word seems to be repeated in an infinite loop, creating a hypnotic bass house atmosphere interrupted only by powerful metallic fills. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it reminds me the popular Crash meme, even if it sounds
79\100 The third release of the “Hardwell & Friends EP Vol. 2” is an amazing progressive tune called “What We Need”. The Dutch producer collaborated once again with the singer Haris (already heard in “Survivor” and “Nothing Can’t Hold Us“), and the result is splendid! I was expecting “What We Need”. It was a long-awaited
85\100 Well, I must be honest now. I like “Badam”. A lot. The first time I heard it I thought “Meh, it’s the typical ethnic trap by Henry Fong, disappointed” (I don’t usually like his music)… But today I’ve listened a lot to “Badam” and I can’t stop singing by myself “badam, badaaam” like an
78\100 “Police (You Ain’t Ready)” is a surprising track. I remember listening to a RIP preview of a set and being bored by the first drop… I wasn’t expecting anything special from “Police”. Well, surprise! The second drop is way better, a hard house experiment by Hardwell, fresh and interesting! Plus, the good vocal by Anthony
I was waiting for this “Creatures Of The Night” Remix EP. For obvious reasons, the original version didn’t satisfy me, and I was hoping to find some better ones… I actually did, this is a surprising EP! I must be honest, it’s not reaaally interesting, in my opinion… But it still deserves a listen! 6.
