• Angelic vocal midway through • Dirty Techno, lots of interesting details • Old and New united UMEK has been in the scene for a while, although I didn’t think that we were talking about three decades! The Techno head-honcho has just marked thirty years of his career with the 300th release on his label

• Guetta’s version wasn’t exactly a masterpiece • Missing chance to showcase their new styles • Techno kick, long buildup “Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi is one of those classics which we all are familiar with hearing in live sets often, owing to its simpler and effortlessly catchy setup that has remained timeless. Personally, the vocals

The tail end of 2021 and the first month of this year has been quite intriguing for Maddix, who remember, is transitioning into an experimental Techno state from his previously dirty Dutch Big Room era. Beforehand, I stated my mixed feelings towards his newer attempts although the evolution had caught my ears, knowing he is

As obvious as it could get, a bunch of new Squid Game remixes have already emerged in the past weeks. Let’s be honest: many artists jumped on the bandwagon to get that moolah, but this time around there’s a lot of quality put in the edits for this trending Netflix’s hit soundtrack. We have three

My relationship with Revealed has been on a steep downhill in the last months, since I am not a big fan of generic Bass House, yet my respect remains untainted for the label. For celebrating its 10th year of existence, there is a brand new Remixed EP that comes with a bunch of Hardwell classics

• Thematic yet distinct • Powerful sway… as per the norm • Hypnotizing melody In a previous article, I touched on Maddix’s creation titled “Technology”, I explained why it fell just short of perfection due to factors primarily revolving around its axis of monotony. I made the point that the early stages of rebranding should

Seven additions into his discography later, my curiosity towards Pablo Rindt, better known as Maddix, has grown more than ever. Trading his powerful and energetic Big Room sleeves for a dense blent of various genres, he has made it more than just attention-worthy. As I have mentioned in my prior reviews, I have been a

• Captivating hybrid of genres • True to his classic sound • Slightly monotonous Upon hearing that Maddix was changing his style, I can’t say I wasn’t discontented. Having been a huge fan of his aggressively driven Big Room hallmark for years now, it was hard for me to imagine ever being blown away by

• Maddix’s trading Big Room for Techno signature • Hypnotic breakdown, manipulative atmosphere • Huge hit or miss with the drop There was a lot of hype gathering around Maddix in the past weeks. Mysterious teasers, social pictures turning pitch-black, rumours about albums, collabs, a new label… Too much noise for a “normal release”, in

After finally getting adjusted to my new schedule, I’m happy to be back for a special edition of the weekly recap here on EDM Reviewer. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been disheartened by many releases and couldn’t bring myself to pick and write about nine of them. So as a result, I’ve picked nine

• Standard structure • Characteristic leads • Powerful drops “Bigroom Never Dies” was one of the most popular EDM slogans last year, and it seems like this year it won’t either die. Revealed continues trusting in some of his already known protégés, whose Big Room music started sounding very fresh, but after a few time it’s starting

77/100 • First collaboration of the involved names • Relies on Psy-trance elements heavily • Slacks on creativity, yet displays energy With the hulking and bass-driven genre of Psy-trance playing its significant role in major festivals across the globe, this style of dance music has seized the throne with its intensity. Multiple releases have been

44\100 • Another -sigh- rework of the traditional Italian song • Tasteless festival big room result • Biggest con: the lack of identity Rejected. I closed an eye on the Alok version of “Bella Ciao“, and another one with the Steve Aoki & Marnik rework, but it’s the third time that I’m coming here explaining
