Graffiti Welfare’s debut LP, “Revolving Shores”, is a mesmerizing exploration of psych-pop that seamlessly weaves personal nostalgia and introspection. George Lattimore, the creative force behind Graffiti Welfare, takes listeners on a transformative journey, reminiscent of Tame Impala’s groundbreaking album, “Lonerism“. This intensely personal project, recorded and produced at home over a five-year period, delves into
Today is a special day, and like most, we are celebrating Christmas with our families. While we don’t have any music to review as the EDM industry rarely manages to put out holiday music worth writing about… we have a little, innocent mix for you. Crankdat has just dropped the fourth edition of his ‘Cranksmas
TikTok is back at it again. It is abundantly clear that the social media platform is dominating in terms of trendsetting new styles of music. Think of it, and there are massive examples such as Lil Nas X, sea shanties, Slap House, and dozens of hits that erupted into virality from the short videos in
• Delicate vocal, clashing with the underground rhythm • Fisher bassline against Future Rave lead • Experimental approach that works! Let’s be honest, Future Rave is rocking right now, and I’m thrilled to see many producers reinventing what Guetta & MORTEN have introduced to the EDM scene. This experiment by the Sidney-based Dizzie Dayze is
• Melodic Dubstep as expected • Familiar formula in a shinier package • Gorgeous vocal performance Nearly after a decade, the American producer finally is ready to remove the curtains from his first album, “Beyond The Veil”. Having followed him for a long time, I am expecting loads of Melodic (and otherwise) Dubstep and I
• Eerie tonality in the breakdown • Frenzy mix of bassline and growls in the drop • Unpredictable final climax In terms of the originality of its title, “Go Hard” doesn’t score as considerably. Yet, this triple-powered collaboration is anything but slow. A showcase between the joint forces of SVRRIC, Nieko, and Zack Merci, this
• A mix between orchestral and trap • Delicate, smooth vocal performance • Unexpected aggressiveness in the drop Oni Nillsen remains a near-mystical figure for me. Except for his first name, which is Nick, there is not much information about him, at least on the internet bubble. No bio, no press release to expand about
Before I proceed, let’s begin with the initial thought of how I wasn’t as keen about reviewing Hardwell‘s hiatus-breaking album “REBELS NEVER DIE“. My opinion concerning his recent Festival Techno sound remains intact since the day the post-UMF article “Welcome back, Hardwell!” came out. Reiterating that here, in short, it’s simply not my cup of
• East vs West • Flamboyant Indian lead over the drop • Soulful, looped-over vocal snippet After my colleague stated that he was used to eastern sounds such as these, and it would be beneficial if I gave it a try instead, I loved how baltaj crafted ethnic sounds in a Tech House structure! Mixing
Let’s begin with the premise that this is a rather useless complaint, I doubt these people will ever stop. This article is mostly a warning call to those who are looking for channels to promote their music, and replying to some fans asking us about this issue. If you happen to google random lines from
• A mix mash of genres with Future Bounce • Distorted, heavy bassline and glitchy leads • Breakdown with Dubstep-like growls The Future Bounce sub-realm can be rather intricated, with plenty of young people trying their hands and bringing their twists to a genre that apparently doesn’t leave much room for breaking the rules… but
Having been postponed since 2019, it is safe to say that Tomorrowland is expected to begin with quite the show this month. The amount of excitement seems to be at an all-time high already with various snaps of the stage design (“Reflection of Love”) leaking out even before it started. While it will last over
• An intense take on the original • Melodic and glitching dubstep drops • Overtaking the vocal slightly ILLENIUM’s set became my favorite during this year’s UMF, together with Timmy Trumpet (super fun) and the rather surprising one from Kygo… The American star has managed to present a lot of interesting ideas, including a superlative
• Explosive Hardstyle drop • Orchestral section with elegant chords • Lots of space for both different styles The Australian creator Dimatik is in great shape for this 2022, with interesting collaborations with Restricted, Und3rsound and Dr Phunk. As I declared several times, I love his ingenious mix of Hardstyle, Psy-Trance and Bounce, often with
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
• Wobbly dubstep with arcade sounds • Simple execution, effective result • Last release on NSD If you’re one of the beloved dubstep admirers, I am sure MUST DIE! needs no introduction. For the uninitiated, this is a producer who has become one of NSD’s pillars and is perhaps best known for the album “Crisis
Just as the first major festival of the year is almost on the horizon, we have reputed aliases like Afrojack, Joel Corry, NWYR, and many others for this Friday. There’s much to unpack, so let’s dive into it! Joel Corry, David Guetta, Bryson Tiller – What Would You Do? 65/100 After a year since they
It’s 2006. You’re waiting anxiously as the download status slowly creeps towards the finish on that mp3 rip of “Smack That” by Akon for your iPod, all done at your convenience by Limewire, which has become your reliable buddy for sourcing those hits without breaking the bank. If it all sounds rather unfamiliar and amusingly
If somebody had asked if the words “Bandcamp” and “Fortnite” together meant anything last Monday, it would be quickly dismissed with a joke or two. That was to change on the 3rd of this month, as both the said music streamer and multimedia company announced their merger together on social platforms. Epic Games, valued at
• Elegant touch, with finer details • Guitar solos in the back • More than it meets the eye Beforehand, I already had chance to analyze GRY’s involvement on “Now Or Never”, featuring Thomas Gold and NEVVE: it was a delightful spin on Brazilian Bass’s schematics which received quite the score. The London-based producer is
• Lukas Graham with a gorgeous vocal performance • And, is that an accordion?! • Folk/Country meets electronic music Sure, I stopped caring about R3HAB years ago after realizing that his “co-producers” were focused on quantitative aspect of releases, not qualitative, in order to stay relevant. But in an ocean of innumerable decent songs being
