    • Consistent theme • Stellar vocals atop the instrumental • Catchy melodies that linger I’ve previously commended Jeriko’s work on the “Renaissancel” EP under Intensity Recordings, where he seamlessly melded modern Future Wave with the vibes of 2010. As I like to say, Jeriko delivered what I had hoped for from the return of SHM:

    • Explosive lead, bassline, vocals • Capable of adding a dynamism spin! • Vibrant conditions in the buildup And we are back with some classic Progressive House, finally! Many of our readers are devoted to the genre, and we were looking for a gem to review… if you are acquainted with Intensity Recordings, you know

    • Striking vocals, very energized • Familiar, attempt at innovative bassline • A nostalgic release It’s with great pleasure that I have come bearing a straight-from-the-roots banger from three familiar names – JaySic, Castor & Pollux. My praises are already out there regarding JaySic in previous reviews about his work in Intensity Recordings, meanwhile, the

    • Groovy, oldschool sound with a twist • Unusual release, nonetheless appreciated • Tech House influences in the drop Although it has been some time since we ventured into interesting releases from our colleagues at Intensity Recordings, things are thriving in the label. Between a plethora of quality festival releases, “Anywhere” by ZNZBR caught my

    • Big Room rendition of Darin • Excellent blend of DANÊL and JaySic • Intensity Recs and Glow Records blending their personas! Honestly, I wasn’t aware about “Step Up” By Darin, a Swedish artist that released this hit in 2005 (fun fact: produced by RedOne, who was recently involved with 2022 FIFA soundtrack). It has

    I know, I know: the earlier mentioned promise of stopping with the ADE sampler holds no good, as the results from the Revealed one were impressive and, Intensity deserves its own mention! The independent label has set up an admirable compilation with five tracks from talented and lesser-known figures. As expected, there’s much to talk

    Let’s be honest: a good chunk of EDM Reviewer’s readers, including myself, are nostalgic. Without entering the realm of psychology, many of our demographic grew up with Avicii, SHM, Hardwell & Co in what is called “The Golden Era of EDM”. Things change and this is part of life, but Intensity Recordings cleverly unleashed the

    • 50% Trance, 25% Techno, and 25% Big Room! • Robust set of percussions • Fascinating breakdown leading to a melodic drop Congratulations to Intensity Recordings on signing this high-profile release! SaberZ, with several Big Room releases on major imprints such as Rave Culture and Revealed Recordings, are very much veterans in the festival house

    • Nostalgia, with creativity • Complexities that seize attention • Darker and brutal first impression The review for “Diddy Bop” perhaps has the same statements as I am about to make on this one, however I wasn’t fully convinced about ZAXX’s renewed interest in Big Room and his capabilities to reinvent the style back then…

    • Haarley’s vocal is the secret weapon of the track • Dark Trance Big Room background • First drop: OK. Second drop: Crazy! That’s an unusual review for our rules, since we mostly accepts songs that have been released in the past 15 days, but sometimes a pinch of flexibility is allowed, if the readers

    When analyzing a label, I am aware to have a big prejudice: I prefer entities with few, well-selected releases, privileging the so-called “Quality Over Quantity” approach. I’m speaking about Rave Culture or Intensity Recordings (1 song each week), where there is a clear project and strategy behind every choice. Speaking about a different situation, I

    • Heads back to peak-time Big Room style • Nostalgic characteristic with lesser experimentation • Energetic and explosive drop sequences Intensity Recordings has opted to slow down its pace lately… being a fan of carefully, well-selected smaller catalogue, I back this decision entirely. For example, “Fire” seems like an excellent pick from the label: everything

    • Emotional breakdown that suddenly gets “tainted” • Darker twist on the drop • Complex, experimental melody It has been a while since I discussed about Steven Vegas; a couple of years ago, he was soaring as one of shining stars signed on Revealed Recordings. Soon afterwards came his hiatus, which he broke in the

    Not one, not two, but three “Wellerman” reworks have surfaced this week! Even if I found myself preferring all of them, my growing intrigue by this singular coincidence has convinced me to focus on the theme instead of making separate articles. First version, my favourite, is the Haohinh, KENNY MUSIK & Jawny Sparklez version published

    • Important team-up between different creators • Nostalgic vibes in the drop… • Quality tune that entertains in an efficient way It’s quite uncommon nowadays to see big collaborations between more than three or four artists (except when two brothers are involved), but in “Settle For None” we have a whopping six people (“real”, without

    Paris Blohm & Wasback – They Say (feat. Krigarè) Paris Blohm · Paris Blohm & Wasback – They Say (ft. Krigarè) After releasing a statement coming to terms with his position atop the progressive house game and how it conflicted with how he wanted to present himself to the world, we finally have the first

    • Formula that balances familiarity with an “out of the box” approach • Dirty Dutch squeaky lead united with vibrant Tribal drums • Standard breakdown, that unexpectedly befits the idea I’m following Intensity Recordings with greater attention in the past few weeks, both for personal reasons and because I’m digging almost all the releases there.

    • Darker tones tinged in discomfiture • Shape-shifting design, a risky yet unique choice • Commencement that underlines the label’s focus on creativity I’m carefully avoiding giving any favoritisms to Intensity Recordings, since I know the owners and the story behind it, thus the requisite of this giant disclaimer in this review: this is not
