• From Progressive to Hardstyle without losing the soul • Officially embraced by Lacuna Festival • Energy that screams both passion and precision This one’s a real journey. “Dreamer” was already a beautiful progressive house anthem from Natixx and Josh Le Tissier, released last year on Glow Records. A proper festival track on its own.

• Similar to “Fool Me” but a bit more pleasant than that • Subtle but spot on characteristics • Addicting, memorable and intense I think “Make Believe” has a massive Rocket League vibe which is equivalent to Rachel’s debut track on Monstercat, “Fool Me“, released in 2023. Both are more of the same but are

When it comes to tribal music, the possibilities are always intriguing. There’s something about blending ethnic instruments with classic EDM structures that feels fresh and exciting. Take Wiwek, for example: his Jungle Terror has always pushed boundaries, twisting sounds into something entirely new. That same sense of curiosity led me to Striker’s “Tribal Essence“, a

Hold on! New remixes just dropped! SEVEN is a queer, FLINTA*-leaning label blending house and techno, focused on providing a new blend of House and Techno to the scene, which feels rather saturated lately. And that’s why I’m so pumped. The debut single is very promising: “Hold On” by CRYME, the founder. It features 4

Lame Digital is a humbly-named group from Rome, formed in 2017, exploring urban sounds with groovy influences and an introspective approach that immediately impressed me. The use of vocal samples and the search for unique sounds, especially in the percussions, is pervasive in the works of this collective, which took a hiatus of a few

• Rework of a rework of “Da Goodness” • Energetic G-House spin • Don Diablo really added that much-needed bounce! It’s amusing how this monumental collaboration between Major Lazer and Don Diablo is essentially a rework of “BabyLawd, DLegend – Jiggy Woogie,” which, in turn, draws inspiration from “Da Goodness” by Redman and Busta Rhymes,

• Audacious take on Tech House • Loopy vocal track • Energized lead with an old-school touch Here we are with another partnership between ARIA and BYOR, their second one after “Tonight” in 2023! Keeping an eager eye on the Australian talent ARIA and Tech House heavyweight BYOR since then, it’s more than clear that

• Creative sampling • House bassline with a trap groove • Bold and feisty rap vocals Most have already come across this tune while swiping through socials: Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” has turned into a trend of its own, currently sitting tight on several charts including Billboard’s top 10. But wait, you ask— this

• 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

• Fast paced arrangements • Piano-led melody • Not so far from Schulz’s sound Robin Schulz is no stranger to the hitmaking process, after several acclaimed EDM albums and gaining colossal success with releases such as “Prayer in C” and the recent 2022 anthem “Miss You“. Unfolding a new chapter, he introduced the alias of

• Absentia of Wobbling lead • Piano House works smoothly with the vocal • A natural sequel The fact that Don boldly decided to rework an all-time future house classic from him is very admirable, further considering that “Cutting Shapes” is in my top three from the Dutch star. When I discovered its release, I

Today’s review brings something truly extraordinary – a performance by Mathieu Moës that completely turned my evening around. Normally, I’d skim through live exhibition videos due to time constraints, but for this, I decided to sit down and watch. All of it. What am I talking about? This is a live album from Luxembourg-based Producer

• Hypnotic vocal, well-selected pauses • Aggressive kick, Techno influences • Great teamwork of different styles It’s always nice to hear this sort of synergy where distinct names having their styles, come up with something never heard before.

• Mix of liked genres • Twists in the drop • Small but considerable variations Breathe Carolina has dived into Bass House lately, as several releases such as “WIFI” or “Sick” came out on Spinnin’.

• 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

It feels great to be back reviewing EPs after almost one busy year of single releases. I must admit, reviewing an EP requires a different kind of effort. I need to sit down, dedicate at least an hour of my time, and listen to the songs repeatedly until I grasp the essence of the project.

• Future House with Jungle Terror sounds • Plenty of details • Great bassline Before proceeding, here’s the premise: I am not really into the Experimental scene in the US right now, where Dubstep, Trap, and many other genres get combined in creative ways. In WLLWS, I see the influences from artists such as Moore
