    • Retransforming the breakdown • Anti-climax in the drops • Modernistic original, futuristic remake Thinking about it now, “Giratina” was ahead of its time. Dimatik, Monik & Carroch unveiled the gem almost a decade back; a moment when Melbourne Bounce was slowly transitioning into the Vini-Vici style Psy-Trance, and was one of the first tracks

    • Squeaky drops, right into action • Turns into a more melodic Psy sequence • Fun & energetic, steady pacing Today’s feature is off the rocker! With the right punch of energy and good measures of adrenaline, gaming soundtrack, or gym beats— call them whatever you want— are the real underground bangers that turn playlists

    • Eccentric craftwork • Excellent breakdown atmosphere • Techy influence with the lead Together with aliases such as Will Sparks and Timmy Trumpet, Joel Fletcher is one of the most recognizable faces in the Melbourne dance scene and its bounce subgenre, which is characterized by upbeat basses and a distinct darker sound: all available in

    • Blend of genres, nice Techno buildup • SCNDL‘s bounce is missing • Violent outcome It is quite surprising to see SCNDL and Vion Konger pair up, given that they always worked on different genres in different labels, but it is nice to have them united in “Mutate”, released a few weeks ago on Dharma.

    • 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,

    • Distinctive parts from Bonka first, then Toneshifterz • Sturdy percussions and hypnotic vocal loop • Not a right synergy, but good results When I saw those names on Timmy Trumpet’s Sinphony, my expectations weren’t certain. Toneshifterz is a veteran in the Hardstyle scene, and Bonka has often dabbled between the boundaries of Melbourne Bounce

    • Hints of Melbourne Bounce on Techno • Typical, squeaky leads with old-school bass • A balance between the roots and trending sounds Since “Annihilate”, which left us with mixed reactions, the Australian producer has returned to Hardwell’s imprint with another Festival Techno release. Including the unusual schematics that have been popularized by Will Sparks,

    • Similar to W&W’s version, but bouncier • Melbourne bounce and Italodance influences • Minimal yet equally robust If I were you, I would immediately take a mental note of the name: Ericovich. Even if slightly intricately spelled alias, more importantly, this Spanish producer knows how to do his work dutifully. Discovering him via the

    Today, I will analyze one of the leading Australian veterans around, Timmy Trumpet. Thanks to his 2014 hit “Freaks”, Timmy broke through into the mainstream scene, and in the consecutive years constantly kept a coveted position in the Melbourne Bounce niche with many underground releases. That’s when I was properly introduced to his work and

    • Gargantuan collaboration in one gigantic track • Combination of drops with two different kicks • Rave Culture advancing further with non-stop quality releases The Dutch imprint of Rave Culture have taken the scene with gusto since their rebranding. Starting with W&W delivering “Wizard Of The Beats” to the newest additions “Ibiza 7am” and “Home

    • New underground label, CLUBWRK • Evolution of Will Sparks sound, beyond Melbourne Bounce • Sampled from Ryan Riback’s hit Alright, Will Sparks is back once again. This time, he started his new label, CLUBWRK Records, and introduced his new single, “Kids These Days“. This dark hard-techno sound was actually quite a huge surprise for

    • Brutal kicks, a trademark of Dimatik • Mature and vicious composition • A bigroom weapon, floor warmer Despite our thoughts about the label, is Smash The House still worthy? Yes indeed, as its probably lesser known sub-label Generation Smash (rarely) has some interesting tracks by underrated producers, one of those tracks being the “Wild”

    • Latino Hard-Bounce, another bizarre idea • Disordered medley of sounds which miraculously fit well altogether • Antic and dynamic vocal Mashd N Kutcher is not a usual name to begin, and, as you may expect, this Australian duo is absolutely unpredictable. This time they have collaborated and brainstormed with the connotational veteran, Reece Low,

    • Hypnotic “mumbled” vocal loop • Unique drop structure, Bass House bedrock with various influences • Difficult to handle at first but worth the time later! “Nu Flava” isn’t one of the generic tunes present in abundance, but a complex composition with a great personality and a pinch of mystery. Many elements used by Chris

    • Pica is challenging to remix • The intelligent combination of the old LL and Deorro’s styles • Solid, engaging drop Years after Deorro’s crazy remix of “Pogo“, Laidback Luke returned the favour with his edit of “Pica”. Their styles are a perfect fit, in my opinion… But this fact seems to have gone almost

    • Pulsating drop segments • Entrancing breakdown • Amalgamation of different styles After his spine-tingling release in the Dutch imprint of Rave Culture, the renowned Australian Producer Will Sparks has come up with yet another bumping tune, embedded with his distinctive and pulsating signature. Titled as “Egypt”, the energetic production features striking basslines and atmospheric

    • Deorro-inspired bouncy track • Elegant jazzy vibes • Extremely catchy Mike Epsse is a Mexican talent that brightened up my day with a catchy, incredibly catchy, composition. “Give You Light” is out now on XDM Records! He compared it to Deorro’s bangers (like “Pica” and the 2018 summer hit “Bailar“), and I must admit

    Psy Trance and Bounce are just like pizza and beer: they fit well together. Timmy Trumpet, for example, switches between the two genres continuously. The basslines are quite similar; the structure is compatible, the wild energy emanated is comparable. However, we don’t see a high number of collaborations between Psy and Bounce artists. That’s why
