This will be more of a story than a review, as I had quite the confusion when investigating it. So, let’s start with our main protagonist: Blasterjaxx. Last week, I received a track from Waves_On_Waves and Blasterjaxx titled “Double Lives“, released on Spotify a few days back. Curious, I listened to it and heard the
• Re-sampling of Flo Rida’s hip-hop hit • Tropical vibe with lovely percussion work • KSHMR showcasing his sound-design expertise Not the “worst summer track” of 2022 that I have come across, but I am delighted by the new creation from KSHMR, “Anywhere’s Home“. After a couple of under-the-radar singles, the American producer has made
• 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
While we didn’t listen to all the songs yet, Beyoncè’s soon-to-be-released album “Renaissance” has clear influences from EDM. Considering the success Drake gained from “Honestly, Nevermind”, which included production efforts from the likes of &ME and Rampa, Black Coffee, and more. High hopes have begun the trajectory of Electronic music at such a higher level
• Dean Lewis with an unforgettable performance • Kygo’s pianoforte vibrant as ever • Great synergy, although an overused recipe If I am being candid here, Kygo doesn’t really strike me as the most exciting artist to write about, at least in the domain of electronic music. He’s undoubtedly the pioneer that steered Tropical House
Pop music stalwarts have always tested the waters in myriads of Dance music, be it Lady Gaga’s enthusiasm with electro and house or the Weeknd’s recent endeavors involving Swedish House Mafia, to varying degrees of success. The world of EDM has intertwined (and once ruled) over the pop industry time and time again, leading to
After realizing there wasn’t any throwback article since February, it put me in quite a distasteful position, for I enjoy writing about tracks that influenced the very history of Electronic music. Well then, let me make up. This one’s dedicated to an explosive phenomenon that occured in the 2010s pop culture, yet a direct outcome
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
A year ago, the beautiful “Christmas Time” by DV&LM, Brennan Heart, Armin van Buuren and Jeremy Oceans came out. I was rather sure that the song would become a Christmas hit of sorts… However, one rotation around the sun later, the collaboration hasn’t achieved great results, with “only” 500k views on YouTube and way lesser
It seems fitting to visit the past for the first throwback for this fall, and there could be none better than a relatively underrated tune to feature here, at least in my opinion. “Pretty Green Eyes”, a hit from the early 2000s, was conceived by the British dance project Ultrabeat. Although lesser known, it further
• An unexpected release • Mixes of Electro House and Dubstep • A total hymn for fans First of all, Mortal Kombat happens to be (with special regards to Doom) my favorite video game saga. Recently, the new film came out (thank goodness, the last one was atrocious) and a week before, Warner Bros. released
Nobody expected this, right? After the iconic “Seek Bromance” and the Daft Punk tribute… The next throwback is this? Yes. As we approach conclusion of this month, with temperatures soaring nearly everywhere, it is perhaps the best time to reminisce of perhaps what is one of the most megalithic (and nostalgic) summer hit in EDM.
Starting the “Throwback of the month” instalment is a golden hit, a reminder of Electronic music’s peak at its renewed commercial nascence around a decade ago. Nothing pulls the heart-strings as much as listening to the iconic “Seek Bromance” from the ever distinguished Avicii. The Swedish act gave the scene numerous classics there after, as
