• Quality tune with commonplace schematics • Emotional and energetic vocal • Noticeable influences from Matisse & Sadko As the Spanish electronic artists are rising in number holistically, their genres of preference seems to favour both Future and Progressive domains of House music, gaining expertise from similarities they brought from top artists. “Something”, today’s selection,
• Heart-warming melody • Usual structure but effective • Kody’s performance is memorable Giving me a lot of love-or-hate feelings, Progressive House has rarer reasons nowadays to be invested in entirely. However, there are tracks now and then which click instantly with the mind and heart, and “Love Again” falls in that category. It is
• Third collaboration shared by the aliases • Usual warming breakdown to a rhythmic drop • A mixture of Electro and Future House nuances By this time around, Declain is no stranger to our blog. He has been one of the hottest names around for a while, as the young producer has managed to completely
• Exotic flute bringing a breath of fresh air • Big Room-ish, clashing low-end • A real experiment with Future House, interesting! Can I take a moment and be brutally honest? Oh yes, it’s my article after all. Lately I have considered Thomas Gold as one of those many top honchos who are just here
• Delicate composition • Sweet but robotic vocals • Progressive House with Chill influences Upon deciding to take a peek into the millions of sub-labels that Hexagon has conceived (yes, yes I said it ironically but we all know there are tons) I stumbled upon a Spanish artist deserving of a mention here. Again, it
• Positive message and atmosphere • Emotional vocal performance by the veteran Max Landry • Energetic melody with a classic Progressive House schema Not only is negativity a bad thing, Voster and Gallardo used it to bring out this festival banger “Savior” on TurnItUp Muzik, with Destin. The song brings awareness of the impact surroundings
• Progressive House with robust features • Lighthearted breakdown, energetic drop • Well complementing vocal presence Progressive House remains as a preferred genre for me, even if it has been struck with mundane schematics, as more producers are opting for copy-pasted, predictive structures that doesn’t dare experiment (say, having a pinch of aggressiveness). “Clubs are
• Great enigmatic atmosphere • Soft vocal performance • Ophelia-esque drop style, peculiar approach Two weeks without reviewing any bass release. Wow, strange. I missed so much my favourite genres but the latest releases weren’t clicking with me (referring to bass, dubstep…) and, suddenly, I received a DM from Rivio with the right pick for
• Ambitious début from a new, unknown name • Sweet and emotional vocal presence • Dreamy atmosphere, highly appreciated This review is sort of shot in the dark, as I have little to no idea about who Mavela is: his social media presence has just embarked with a début on Bedroom Movement imprint. I sympathize
• Cosy vocal performance • Distinctive DV&W drop • Demure break After a considerable time without writing reviews, I’m finally back at it! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I guess there’s no better comeback than reviewing a beautiful piece of progressive house, especially if the title is “We Are Here Now” (yes, my bad
• Solid performance by Kat Nestel • Melancholic melody… but more than asked? • Redeems Smash’s sub-label After what seems like a long six months, I decided to explore Progressive House again, a saturated sector on which I have partial thoughts for but still manages to surprise me from time to time. Talking about it,
• Easy-to-remember melody • Heavy 2015 old-school structure • The drop seems rather boring, isn’t it? Who remembers Basto? If you happen to be an old-school EDM fanatic then you must have heard his name, especially with major releases in imprints like Spinnin’ and Kontor in the past decade. Anyways, Basto has come back unexpectedly
• Avicii inspired with solid enrichments • Lovely and narrative vocal alongside the melody • Unusual complexity in such a radio-friendly environment Yes, I am leaning slightly towards the commercial spectrum today, it will be quite a surprise if you have already guessed the style of my pick. I had chance of listening to this
• Great rave-ready spin on a vintage hit • Influences from Melodic Techno • Atmospheric and dynamic schematics Partnership can bring about the best of everyone involved, and the same can be stated about the latest studio chemistry being shared between the French icon David Guetta and Danish hotshot MORTEN. Since their earlier collaborations, the
• Classic Future House schema with sweet vocal chops • Progressive House twist in the Club Mix • Common schematics, but engaging experience This a sort of “double review”, because I first came across with the original mix of “Dream“, and then I discovered the Club Mix, which is a Progressive House version… Thus, I
Hate it or love it, the Maxximize founders are back! For this entire year, the Dutch veteran Blasterjaxx have released over ten tracks, joining forces with the likes of Armin van Buuren. Especially admirable is that they wrapped up two separate EPs after the enormous “Perspective” album that came out last year. Despite all the
• Yeap, you’ve read the rating. I took my meds, I swear! • Excellent execution of the Christmas theme • Short Progressive House drop with the recognizable bells “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, they say. Textbook Progressive House songs have found way into top of my “to-avoid” list, but I have found

And I am proudly writing down these lines, mainly because of two important reasons. Blackcode has shown imminent growth and
• Promising self-release début! • Homage to the 80s Disco scene • Creative to greater ends As many readers know, my standpoint and views about the festival-friendly genre of Big Room was always fixed, a “love or hate” relationship. My latest reviews didn’t urge me to give it a score higher than 65 points… until
The inception of this special article was because of a singular review for Deagon’s production, but while listening to HOA I finalized that another artist could also share this article and would be beneficial: Quando. It has been some time since I enjoyed not one, but two Radar releases in the same week! The Greek
