• Pop-oriented Progressive House vibes • Clean sound design and expressive vocals • Emotional drop that plays it safe but works From Portugal, Dany Oliveira just released a lovely Progressive House track titled “Again & Again”. Still early in his journey, he only kicked things off in April 2024 with his debut single “Little Demon”,
• Seven Lions-style progressions with a sweet vocal twist • First half with Prog House influences • Second half dives into deeper Dubstep territory The melody in this collaboration really struck a chord with me. 9 Worlds and 3THOS, both from Canada, delivered something that feels instantly familiar yet still fresh. Think Seven Lions-style progressions,
• That classic progressive warmth done right • Vocals that cut through the usual EDM cheese • Complex melodies that still feel instantly inviting “Tell You Now” is exactly why I still get excited about Progressive House. Voster & Gallardo nailed that rare balance: their creation’s got all the energy you want from a festival
• 2015 vibes in the main drop • Strong vocal performance to valorize the breakdown • Excellent melodic switch in the second half “Go” by Winning Team is a standout Big Room track that hits all the right notes, blending great vocals, melodic shifts, and energetic bass to create a captivating piece of dance music.
• Modern lead, veering towards Piano House • Powerful vocal performance • Captivating melody with a Progressive twist I’m thrilled to discuss this pop piece on Revealed Radar, a label that, ironically, had slipped off my personal radar. Their focus on releasing hundreds of songs didn’t help, and I lost track of their catalog. They
• Solid signature sound in the drop • Great vocal performance for this kind of piece • The breakdown is Avicii-influenced It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed something from Syn Cole, the Estonian veteran who began his career on LE7ELS. Since then, he’s been on a long journey with millions of streams and
• Happy vocal, powerful drop • Sweeter kick than expected • Lots of beautiful details in the composition Today’s track is a delightful Melodic Hardstyle tune that truly impressed me with its sound design. “Wild Ones” is the first collaboration between Dutch producers Tim and Tom, known as TCM and Thymo. TCM has made a
• Consistent theme • Stellar vocals atop the instrumental • Catchy melodies that linger I’ve previously commended Jeriko’s work on the “Renaissancel” EP under Intensity Recordings, where he seamlessly melded modern Future Wave with the vibes of 2010. As I like to say, Jeriko delivered what I had hoped for from the return of SHM:
• Massive drop with both styles • Breakdown capable of building the right cinematic tensions • Oldschool sound still present In the current landscape dominated by Melodic Techno, AN21, under the banner of SIZE, manages to infuse this trend with the distinctive style that the label is celebrated for. “Into Dust” stands out within the
• Classic EDM combining indie elements and guitar riffs • Optimistic and high-spirited atmosphere • A radiant vocal performance by ruben. What happens when you combine Tollef’s funky guitar artistry and Nu Disco production skills with the eclectic Future House influences of Aiobahn? The answer is obvious: this joyful creation! Released on Don Diablo’s HEXAGON,
• Massive drop sequence à la BLK RSE • Something’s missing in the central breakdown • Kudos to the desire to innovate the sound It’s been a year since my last encounter with KAAZE and his power-packed Progressive gem of “Paradise“; here we are, with the darker facade to the Swedish moniker— one can hazard
• Rockish vibes in the breakdown • A dynamic and explosive drop • Easy to handle, but carefully crafted pattern around the vocal I’ve voiced my concerns about the predictable nature of Progressive House releases lately. While I do appreciate the genre’s classic formula, a breath of fresh air is long overdue. “Eye Of The
• Excellent vocals • Guitars as lead, with progressive drops • Truly experimental as underground meets pop A wunderkind, LUM!X is quite young (21) yet already packing millions of streams, several platinums and golds, and on my favorite list for having revived Bounce music with Gabry Ponte, making an impact in the otherwise saturated scene.
• Explosive lead, bassline, vocals • Capable of adding a dynamism spin! • Vibrant conditions in the buildup And we are back with some classic Progressive House, finally! Many of our readers are devoted to the genre, and we were looking for a gem to review… if you are acquainted with Intensity Recordings, you know
• More like an edit than a remix • Trumpets are enhanced, overall structure intact • Nostalgic choice for SIZE XX Anniversary “Valodja” holds an air of mystery that can only be crafted by masterminds like Steve Angello (during his pre-SHM phase) and AN21. With just two percussions and a set of trumpets, they conjured
• 2000s vibes • Progressive, melodic drops • Instantly appealing vocals Catching attention off-guard with unexpected team efforts is the unlikely duo of Benny Benassi and Goodboys: both names that have made strides in the dance music scene respectively. “Further Away,” which is their latest record, has an impressive production work that demands further attention.
• Too perfect to be true • That’s a chorus to sing along! • Avicii/Calvin Harris drop vibe “Endless Summer” is a great song: I would say there’s a 50% chance of becoming a dance music hit for 2023 (similar to “I’m Good” by Guetta the previous year). It includes everything from catchy vocals, Avicii-like
• Mix of liked genres • Twists in the drop • Small but considerable variations Breathe Carolina has dived into Bass House lately, as several releases such as “WIFI” or “Sick” came out on Spinnin’. I found them a bit conventional, lacking that spark of creativity that usually gets me to review something. Things are
• Guitar, violins, piano • Gorgeous vocals and lyrics • Nostalgic attitude with a desire for innovation After a lot of less impactful releases and a surprising re-emerging virality with “Astronomia” (power of the internet memes), I am finally back writing about Vicetone, this time for a good reason. It makes me proud to have
• Original vocal keeping its dynamism • Tiësto’s signature basslines, with a pinch of Progressive • Very clean and professional outcome Let’s say that this remix wasn’t easy to improve for the Dutch creator. British vocalist Allegra released a delightful Dance Pop tune last month, “Round & Round”, which alternates between a lively vocal rendition
• A delicate rework of the original • Superb vocals • Evolution in Sik’s signature sound A gorgeous original: that should be said before praising this charming Future House remix from Siks. The French alias has a distinctive sound that’s roaring in the Bass House scene lately, racking up millions of streams and achieving significant
