As I mentioned in my previous review of “Eye Of The Storm”, Ironheart has a remarkable talent for creating not just stories or tales, but entire journeys through his music. With a unique blend of Dubstep, PsyTrance, Electro House, and orchestral/medieval elements, his latest EP, “Outremer“, released by New Dawn Collective, delivers a solid 90+
• Three separate drops • W&W melody on an SZP structure • Not the smoothest experience, but lots of fun Alright, I was waiting for this team-up to occur for a long time, as Sub Zero Project is among my favorite producers in the Hardstyle scene and they have become a regular at W&W’s Rave
• Native American chant, on a loop • Psy elements in the first drop and breakdown • Darker atmosphere “Rave Tribe” has got me excited plenty, which happens to be a Big Room Trance production from the up and coming Kaotix, excluding room for potential development in a genre that has stuck to specific boundaries
• “Blah Blah Blah” with a different vocal • Lazy collaboration from artists who clearly have expertise in Psy-trance • Somewhat elegant breakdown, presenting orchestral elements Ummet Ozcan has unfortunately landed himself again in midst of this little rant, but I am done and tired of these lazy Spinnin’ Releases. I have nothing against the
• Sturdy and dark production, inspired by RC vibes • Constricted melodic pattern that didn’t fully convince me • Exciting potentials exploited in this entertaining style While crate-digging in internet for new songs from unheard and underrated talents, I happened to come across “Mindwave”, an enjoyable Trance Room production from one Chainix, and thus helped
• Another Ethnic Psy-Trance tune, with the typical vocal standards • Frenetic and attention grabbing melody • Surprising hard kicks in-between Second Psy-Trance review for this week and we have another unheard-of title I had to take assistance of Google to understand its meaning. “Vastuni” should mean “goods” in Sanskrit, more or less. This creation
• Precisely crafted bassline • Ethnic vocal loop, a staple of the Psy genre • Creation that plays around with familiarity and personality Teaming up for an unusual and attention grabbing Psy Trance creation are the upcoming acts Naems and FearZ, which has been titled as “Mukti“! The stereotype of naming of any main-stage song
• Cliffhanging rating, thanks to unsure factors • Vigorous drop, with two hard psy-kicks • SINPHONY’s near perfect genesis While deciding to share my experience for the newest release “The Prayer” with you guys, I had an evergrowing dilemma on whether to talk about this production. Thus, I moved rather slowly on this, and at
It perhaps would have been better to review the entire Dharma Sound of Summer Vol 2, but after near colossal and exhaustive article for the Musical Freedom album, I desired to do something more detailed this time. Nonetheless, Dharma grabbed the opportunity and dropped a splendid compilation, showing its various hallmark ethnic vibes and excellent
• Original drop idea, consisting of a vocal loop • Short duration and minimal essence • Trancy vibes accompanied by a bouncy structure One of Rave Culture’s initial problems was that they only signed two artists: W&W and Maurice West. As you can imagine, it was a bit boring. Luckily for everyone, some time ago
• Perfectly built atmosphere in the cinematic breakdown • Sudden, darker transition • Psy-Trance drop fused with classic schematics Dear Japanese fans, pardon me for my incomprehensible effort at translating the title, but “Togu” should mean “sharpen“. The cover art in fact, represents some buckets. Anyway, today I’m amusing myself with Trance. Quality Trance. It
• Unexpected twist in the drop • Club-oriented structure, less focused on the breakdown • Effective fusion of the two styles It’s been a while since I’ve been so impressed by a Revealed release, what a splendid job by Olly James and the major-debutant GIFTBACK! “Side To Side“, their latest creation, specifically targets live exhibitions
• Aggressive Psy-Trance Electro hybrid • Majestic breakdown segment • Cut-and-dried structure but energetic There would be no disagreement about Psy-Trance’s involvement in live gigs, whether it be clubs or the leading festivals! The genus has spread widely over the years, having its modest roots in the underground scene until modern reformations. Various acts indulge
• Quality Hardstyle mixed with Psy-Trance • Captivating old-school vocal • Softer structure than expected, suitable with Revealed Radar While expressing our displeasure with the Revealed Radar re-branding, we got strangely fascinated by the new Hellblasterz’s track on it. Thus, almost ironically, we are speaking again about the Revealed sub-label whose motive focuses on promoting
• 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
• 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
• Incoherent song • “Co-produced” by WILL K and Eddie Thoneick: not exactly two amateurs • Complete absence of personality I already have my prejudices about Smash The House and Danny Avila, but “LaLa” gave me such a bad impression that I needed to write about this release. I have strong, strong, strong doubts about
73/100 • Psy-trance elements infused with Electro house • Curious vocal sample • A breath of freshness in the Spinnin’ catalog I’m not primarily a psy-trance listener, but “Gaia” deserved a review. This new collaboration between the psy-trance bosses and Blastoyz has some fresh elements that we must analyze with caution. Little note aside: there
77/100 • Psytrance structure with ethnic tones • Fitting vocal snippets • Predictable yet intense Among various releases this week, in this article we are going to divulge briefly about the new release from Dutch talent Maddix, who has kept his constant name on the Big Room house genre via his productions on Revealed Recordings, and the Australian
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
31\100 • Inexcusably misleading • Standard psy-trance structure • Lazy rework attempt I’m personally confused by some aspects of “Gam Gam” by the Dharma veterans MARNIK and SMACK. The cover makes you think that it’s a Halloween song, but it is not related to it. The original, which is a musical version of Psalm 23, has become a
