    • Avicii-ish Future House • The evolving melodic structure adds depth • Bassline could be punchier Today, I want to introduce you to a small project that really caught my attention with its lighthearted style and innocent sound design. Uggly Bob, a new producer from Spain, has started his journey with a few independent releases,

    • BOOM vibes in the vocal loop • Lots of details towards the end • Great showcase from Tim Hox Greatly satisfying, “The Blonde One” is a Bass House release on Spinnin’ Records that might not garner the same magnitude of success equal to past hits from Mike Williams (being a wunderkind of the Dutch

    • Future Bounce à la Brooks • Solid, well-designed structure with breakdown • Less innovative, but delivers a sound performance We are back here talking about Poylow and MAD SNAX after their splendid “Drop In The Ocean“, made available again by NCS! This trio is impressing me, and now there are the polyvalent skills of

    Weekly Roundup LXIV (Weekly Roundup? More like Monthly.) Weekly Roundup? More like Monthly. Yes, I am abundantly aware of the recent inconsistent rate of this series, but life happens. Do you know what else also happens? New releases that need to be talked about without further ado! Coi Leray – Players (David Guetta Remix) 82/100

    • Generic, forced Melodic Techno structure • Same vocals from the prior track • Mediocre Chill Mix branded as a follow-up It’s quite not so long ago when I remember grading a ninety to “Lullaby“, nearly five years ago when R3HAB and Mike Williams created a magical single in their very first partnership. The Future

    Before you even know it, September’s looming in. And this month was no lesser in terms of releases, with the final week seemingly plenty determined to drive that point home. Ranging from Nicky Romero and Hardwell to Deniz Koyu, a mix of renowned EDM trailblazers and upcomers are featured in this edition of the Weekly

    • Future bounce, as usual • Clever, small details in the drops • Admirable vocal delivery from Mona Lisa “I Said Too Much” has been looping for a while in my library, and it’s time to sum up my thoughts about this beautiful endeavor! It’s surprising to see Mike Williams away from his home turf

    • “Boing” fills for the win • Experimental as it gets • Future Bounce being actually futuristic In such an overfilled spectrum of Future Bounce, where the usual five or six names are the only ones dominating the scene, sometimes it’s the unheard and rising aliases capable of turning the tables with merely a simple,

    • Atmozfears on fire; remix after an album! • Peculiar switch in breakdown • Loses catchy-ness, gains personality There’s a thing that still gives me some hope about Spinnin’ Records, and it’s the fact that sometimes they let Hardstyle veterans re-work their classic releases without imposing limitations, and that just happened with “With Another Day”.

    With a post on his socials, Mike Williams announced a temporary suspension from all official activities including live performances and releases, for the foreseeable future.   Visualizza questo post su Instagram   Un post condiviso da Mike Williams (@mikewilliams) This decision caught me off-guard, as the Amsterdam based act seemed to be in a great

    Trivia of the week – Creamfields, the prestigious British EDM festival, actually gets its name from its promoter Cream, who are originally in nightclub business. The number five has held much significance in history. In music alone, circle of fifths have a great role in making of many a harmonies. Apart from that, there is

    • FHC influenced structure • Clever workings in the lead synths • Standardized vocal presence Some forty-eight hours ago, I revealed about my “listener’s block” and how it is struggling to find anything interesting to write about the big, important releases that come in great numbers every Friday or so. I also mentioned about “exceptions”,

    • Second release by Dastic on Revealed Recordings • Soft, poppish vibes, badly received by fans • Complex melody, difficult to remember I was curious about the presence of Dastic in Revealed Recordings. I’m following him for years, I enjoyed many of his tunes (in particular: “Candy” and “Give Me Your Love“), I appreciate his

    • Bouncy, more aggressive than expected drop • Particularly well managed vocal loop • Happy vibes, very appreciated I’ve already reviewed a couple of future bass tracks of Ez Quew, and his future house twist has been a hell of a surprise! The Swedish producer has teamed up for the second time with Marc Brothers,

    • Different vocal that, in this case, makes the difference • Intelligent blend between both styles • Entertaining melodic combination There have been some troubles with “Dynamite”, first postponed and then released with a different vocal, but, finally, I can say that I’m satisfied by the final outcome. Mike Williams experimented with something different from his future bounce,

    This week, we’ll be covering possibly the worst track from Hardwell, the Jonas Aden & Brooks collaboration that features some bombshell writing credits, Hexagon’s perplexing new Generation Hex EP, a promising new talent, and we’ll check in on our Spotify behemoths and Mike Williams. As always, we’ll be compiling a short recap of notable tracks

    • Mike Williams influences in the main lead • A robust, energetic, powerful approach • Slightly slow melody, still capable of hypnotizing Tracks like “Don’t Hold Me Down” are the reason why I started reviewing, and I still love my hobby. Sure, speaking about famous tunes is nice, but valorizing talents like D3GORAN, hugely underrated,

    Lord. What a week for music. The KSHMR & KAAZE collaboration has finally dropped, Magnificence finished releasing their new EP, Enter Records has come out of nowhere with a bunch of surprising hits, and Revealed put out some suprisingly solid releases. We can’t even get into all of them in the recap because there’s simply

    This review is in collaboration with Revealed Family! If you like their work, follow them here. Mike Williams and Hardwell, together in “I’m Not Sorry”. A collab that I’d have never expected, and the result is pretty good. Let’s begin with the track itself, which is catchy as hell, you will automatically remember the vocals and

    • Easily identifiable Mike Williams vibe • Dynamic and powerful drops • Portentous break The EDM scene is saturated these days, and one of the most important qualities of every producer is to have a recognizable signature sound without staying repetitive. As you can imagine, this is not easy at all, but some people are
