Very unusual review for my standards, but today we talk about two things that matter a lot for anyone who spends their days listening to EDM. First, I’m Italian, and once in a while I enjoy some music in my own language even if most of you reading don’t speak it. Second, the importance of
• Female vocal with distorted flair • Buildup shines with detailed bassline • Final drop goes raw and unexpected I swear, the first notes instantly reminded me of Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse”. Same kind of hypnotic pull, but “Run” quickly moves into way more energetic territory. I’ve praised Benster before for his remix and the
• Happy Hardcore meets classic Italian rock • Kicks hit hard, lead synths play around • A bold cover that somehow works Alright, I did not see this coming. A Happy Hardcore rework of Gianna Nannini’s 1986 rock hit “Bello e Impossibile“? That’s pretty wild, but hey, I’m here for it. The original is a
• Classic big room twist • Saberz-W&W influences • Linear but energetic Oftentimes, there are considerable comments on artists who once pursued Big Room— when it was trendy that is— and have since moved on to greener pastures, so to speak. Good thing we have independent producers who are willing to stick to their roots
• Orchestral melody • Something’s missing… Violins? • Fresh spin on the drop The trend of blending classical music with EDM elements hasn’t escaped me, and I like it quite a lot: probably because of the impressive results from different perspectives. It’s the case in several Sinphony releases, starting from the compilation released a few
• Playful vocals • Lean, groovy arrangements • Catchy sound design Funny? Check. A bit idiotic? Maybe. Creative and club-ready? Absolutely. That would be the gist of how we feel about the latest upload by SIZE records— who are leaning into the experimental zone even more lately— with Kommando’s “SINGER IDIOT.” That title sounds eccentric,
• 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
• A Unique Fusion of Italian Trap and Rawstyle • Lots of stuff going on in less than two minutes • Taxi B screams, a lot I’m thrilled to finally discuss Taxi B‘s music here at EDM Reviewer. What a magical moment. The Italian trap artist has ventured into a unique Trap/Phonk/Punk style, and “Blackout”
• Explosive, out-of-the-box drop style • Bouncy bassline • Excellent blend with the existing Phonk staples The two Italian creatives YOLO KULT and Carl Lazy couldn’t make me any less content with their booming “Thunderbolt”! Just like a lightning bolt, the composition blasts and roars with an impressive assortment of basslines and hard-hitting lead. It’s
• Shibui is gone, with same vocal style • Flute, violins, and Big Room leads in the mix • Hard-hitting Psy While I couldn’t admire “Hurricane”, a very predictable bouncy Psy-Big Room style that soon becomes exhausting, I feel that “Coconut” effectively attempted to take a step further. The protagonists on this stage remain the
• This isn’t your typical Phonk track… • A brilliant fusion of melody and rhythm • Debut on Tribal Trap that sets the bar high When I first heard that Angemi had released a track on Tribal Trap, I was pleasantly surprised. Having made a name for himself on Smash The House and with DV&LM,
• Refined Progressive House structure • Standard breakdown, nice vocal • Complex yet streamlined melody After the saddening revelation about Timmy Trumpet, I wasn’t in the mood for giving space to the ‘bigshots’ who evidently have no time, talent, or interest to spare in creating genuine music for their fans. Rather, we want to promote
• Aurelios in the break, Chester in the drop • Influences from the Big Room Techno trend • Lovely twist in the pre-drop transition Aurelios already made a unique introduction on our blog with a catchy record on Spinnin’ Talent Pool the prior month, but “Falling” raised the bar to another level! Featuring Chester Young
• Suitable for clubs • Not-so-dynamic drop but effective • Mariana carries all the weight Waiting for Tomorrowland to release anything remotely interesting requires a huge effort. Their label was one of those cases where they had their ups and downs, yet more of the latter. This time, their newest single seemed to be a
