• Presence of Bonka • Abrupt mood switch between break and drop • Generic piano that doesn’t convince In the last few years, I am not been as committed to Revealed Recordings with the same passion as earlier, but occasionally there are standout releases that make me jump on my seat, like “Escape”. Thank god

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

Quick recap if you missed the action: Steve Void‘s label Strange Fruits, which served a variety of electronic pop and commercial house records, became a factory for anonymous releases with curious automated accounts, all representing cartoons and with hundreds of thousands (at least) of streaming statistics. A real revenue collecting machine, with no real human

So, Quartzo has slowly lost its mantle of being one of the most influential labels in the Festival EDM niche on SoundCloud, having published hundreds of releases. Nowadays, it has channeled itself into BLVCKBØX. At first, this was a textbook “Dark-themed” sub-label, although now it is the only active part remaining under the once-thriving network.

• DnB, Hard Trap, and Hardstyle in “Drux”?! • Bass and Tech House influences in “Losing Control” • Brutal and chaotic without losing balance Upholding a bold statement about their prolific visions, FVCK GENRES has greatly favored shifting between the demarcations of several EDM genres. Their latest upload, “Drux” EP is no exception either. Architected

• Great vocal yet lacks euphoria • Exquisite melody • Cut-and-dried drop DWX copyright free imprint’s Instagram account was made offline several months ago, but I heard the sub-label has great artists and its releases are interesting. They finally happened to publish a new work baked fresh from the lab of Wav3motion, a promising upcoming

• New label, classic brand? • Hard-hitting quality TranceRoom schematics • Keeping aside ambiguities about the future, there is yet hope! In a rather dicey move, the young German producer TBR has placed his bets by inaugurating his own imprint gloriously titled the “RetroFuture”. Debuting it is another Tranceroom explosive “The Sound”, filled to brim

Shooting a fish in a barrel, they say. It’s unnecessary to point out the problems that a project like Smash The House, and, more specifically, Generation Smash has, but people usually miss the big picture in these cases. Today we are analyzing the 19 months of growth of the DV&LM sublabel, that, starting from its

It’s certainly disheartening, because we always had held high expectations for Dannic’s esteemed label, Fonk Recordings… But we observed increasingly incertitude about this project. Founded in 2016 by the ex-Revealed groove veteran, Fonk centres around its label-boss and similar peculiar Electro House. It’s such a specific and recognizable style that in past reviews we simply
