• Rework of the Nomad (and Bingo Players) hit • Not-so-predictable approach • Homage to 10 years of career “Devotion” marks a significant milestone in KSHMR‘s illustrious career as he celebrates 10 years of the project. Teaming up with 22Bullets, the duo delivers yet another stellar performance, showcasing their collective genius and creativity. The choice
• 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
• Massive PsyTrance bassline • Tokyo Drift vibes in the break lead • Fierce and bouncy Today, there’s another beast prowling that needs your attention: “Tiger Style” is not afraid to roar and pounce when needed! Created by the Australian moniker Dixie and released in the wild by CZLR Records; the Psy-trance banger is an
• 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
• Shibui is gone, with same vocal style • Flute, violins, and Big Room leads in the mix • Hard-hitting Psy While I couldn’t admire “Hurricane”, a very predictable bouncy Psy-Big Room style that soon becomes exhausting, I feel that “Coconut” effectively attempted to take a step further. The protagonists on this stage remain the
• Turkish vocals working surprisingly well • Lots of experience behind the structure • Hard-hitting psy bassline It’s been a while since I heard from Faruk Sabanci, the Turkish producer with a great discography, especially the ones on his erstwhile label Metanoia Music. I distinctly remember “:)” and “Be The One” on the said imprint
• 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
• Unique blend of Midtempo and Slap House • Elegant vocal and pizzicato lead • A refreshing take on the Slap House genre The duo MAD SNAX has been making waves in the electronic music scene in recent years with their signature bouncy Psytrance style, similar to that of Gabry Ponte and LUM!X. I had
• Blend of the two styles • Dark atmosphere in the breakdown • Exclusive attention to the details Do you say we don’t review enough Dubstep? Let’s reply with this massive collab from Wooli and Calcium, “Restraint”. Since Halloween is near, I felt that the duo has decided to add a lot of dark elements
• Explosive Hardstyle drop • Orchestral section with elegant chords • Lots of space for both different styles The Australian creator Dimatik is in great shape for this 2022, with interesting collaborations with Restricted, Und3rsound and Dr Phunk. As I declared several times, I love his ingenious mix of Hardstyle, Psy-Trance and Bounce, often with
• Four well differentiable drops • Easily distinguishable styles • Too much Psy-trance… Celebrating its hundredth release with megalithic proportions of synergy, Ophelia has assorted great minds to its roster! Paint me surprised, as the artists involved here belong to different fields of genres and yet came together to craft a five minute-long record. Usually,
• Hammering kick enforcing a brutal aura • Exotic vibe kept intact • Higher dynamism, thanks to Dimatik’s experience When Deva guest reviewed the “IV EP” from the Dutch duo Blasterjaxx, the unmentioned vocal of Zafrir’s collaboration came as a surprise to me. If there’s a recurring detail from his catalogue, it’s that he always
• A true festival weapon • Mexican-Hispanic themed instrumental • Resonant vocal unleashing power NAEMS and WYKO don’t require any sort of introduction. Both upcoming aliases have built-up meticulous reputation from ground-up, well known and deemed esteemed in the Festival music community. They have collaborated on a previous occasion before, having supported by the fine
• 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
• Sweet, delicate vocal sample • Hard-Psy vs. Melodic Hardstyle • Arduous challenge, yet well-schemed I’ve been frankly discontented by “Mona Lisa“, a commercial collaboration between Will Sparks and Lost Boy, and I was extremely curious about Toneshifterz’s twist on it. He’s one of the most affluent Hardstyle artists and considering that he’s working on
• An amalgamation of styles palatably • Robust presence of Ethnic components • A missed potential at an idiosyncratic breakdown “GURU” is a pleasant, unforeseen surprise. A capable team of seven people poured their efforts and mettle on this: dynamic triad Marnage, the trio Maski & Banga and NAEMS. All of them are stable and
• Refreshing but spry arrangements • Melodic and suspenseful breakdowns • Robust display of synth-power Over the years of our existence as a music blog, we have often encountered artists who flat-out deny sticking in one genre. Sure, comfort zones polish the experience, but it is experimentation where one can truly search their potential multifaceted
• Everything fits, in a complex yet entertaining composition • Significant trio, efficient show of styles • Rework of a classic club-weapon by Sequenza No, you haven’t misread. The driving reason for a solid ninety to this is because of the fact I’m finally happy to see an essential collaboration that has been made because
It is undeniable that Dutch heavyweight Armin van Buuren has been a household name among the Dance music crowd. This year has seen no difference either, with varying exquisite creations like “La résistance de l’amour” to “Show Me Love”. Concluding the year, the dexterous mastermind has compiled his endeared singles and newer music into one,
• Can we stop remixing Holocaust psalms? • Appears to cash in on trending keyword and success of Marnik’s version. • Heavy doubts about its flat personality Do you know which review of us has been read the most in 2018? My negative take on “Gam Gam” from the Italians Marnik and SMACK, the
• Fabulous orchestral intro • Psytrance drop fitting unexpectedly well with the rest • Italian track of the year? I’m Italian, and by and far I have been ashamed to see what my co-nationals contribute to the EDM scene. Bots, scandals, copied tracks, scammers (I see you, GLDN), VINAI… But my country also has some
