• Trance and Big Room • Mighty brass stabs • Throwback to 2010s Let’s press rewind for a while. It’s 2013. The so-called EDM era is in full swing— big room, progressive house— you name it. Among several hits that came out the said year, it was Armin van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels
• Catchiest vocals since a long time ago • Dr Phunk’s usual lead • Hard-hitting, very dynamic structure The idea, even if simple, is not unfamiliar for Dr Phunk to employ in his releases.

Summer’s over they say! Well, not mostly, but August has begun with a bang that I didn’t quite expect. There’s a lot on today’s roster to cover: hottest records from the likes of MORTEN, Third Party, MUST DIE! and more. Joel Corry x Becky Hill – HISTORY 82/100 Is it even summer without Joel Corry
• Similar to W&W’s version, but bouncier • Melbourne bounce and Italodance influences • Minimal yet equally robust If I were you, I would immediately take a mental note of the name: Ericovich. Even if slightly intricately spelled alias, more importantly, this Spanish producer knows how to do his work dutifully. Discovering him via the
• Sweeping vocal performance • Explosive and lively drops • Plenty of details to admire As I am suffering in the rather stifling heatwave dominating over my place with a boiling hundred and four degrees as the mercury keeps rising, it seems there are even more summer releases heading my way. Anyways, some of my
• Minimality throughout • Heavier kickdrums and pizzicato leads • Effective bassline presence Tech House and I aren’t the best mates, so consider this review as a step out of my comfort zone and a great sign for Wade’s future. If the Spanish creator has managed to convince me to write some lines about a
Here’s a fun fact for y’all out there: the first Weekly Roundup came out on the 3rd of June, 2021. And this edition covers releases from the same date a year later, which fell a day later on a Friday. Anyways, boatloads of music to cover from the likes of Kx5, Magnificence, Blasterjaxx, and more!
• An intense take on the original • Melodic and glitching dubstep drops • Overtaking the vocal slightly ILLENIUM’s set became my favorite during this year’s UMF, together with Timmy Trumpet (super fun) and the rather surprising one from Kygo… The American star has managed to present a lot of interesting ideas, including a superlative
• A contemplative album theme • Sefa’s instrumentalism shines bright • Classical music meets modern ideas It’s been a moment since my previous review came out. The dance music industry seems to be on the verge of a path that is unenjoyable personally, so I barely find a song that makes me think “damn, this
Just as the first major festival of the year is almost on the horizon, we have reputed aliases like Afrojack, Joel Corry, NWYR, and many others for this Friday. There’s much to unpack, so let’s dive into it! Joel Corry, David Guetta, Bryson Tiller – What Would You Do? 65/100 After a year since they
The summer of 2017 had its own list of hits from the likes of The Chainsmokers and Zedd, including Calvin Harris with his “Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1”. Under this creative endeavor, listeners witnessed bodacious RnB grooves scattered throughout the album with noteworthy collaborators present such as Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande, Khalid, A-Trak, John Legend, and
• Several months after the release of “The Core”, Caster remixed it • Amazing atmosphere with heavy Trance influences • Stunning melodic drop! I’m not feeling miserly in my life, but when it comes to 90+… They are so rare that I gave only one in 2021 (to the amazing “Symphony by” Aspyer). Fourteen months
• Easeful, dreamy progression • “Less is more” motif • Dissonant riff that merges later After having been enraptured by Echonomist’s oeuvre for months this year – my Spotify wrapped holding testament over that, it was clear the Greek performer has a sonic allure that can’t be eluded so easily once experienced. Consistently providing thorough
• 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”.
• Similar structure, but more dynamism in the drop • The Weeknd’s vocal remains astonishing • 2010’s familiar vibes in the lead While the dawn of the new era of Swedish House Mafia’s comeback has met roaringly approvals to great ends, some have found themselves disappointed with their clear departure from the sound they pioneered
After writing fifteen instalments of Weekly Roundup, I have come to notice a pattern: names who are working hard towards breaking through the industry are the ones with some of the best releases.

• Three beasts colliding • Brutal, no mercy • Timmy Trumpet is no more, it’s time for Timmy Guitar! It seemed the time to review a new Timmy Trumpet single wasn’t there yet, especially after the strange experiments in “Cardio”. Sinphony, however, was quietly publishing energetic releases from renowned artists, but I didn’t see this
There is a new mania ravaging out there, and I suppose most of you already know that we are talking about: the new Netflix show Squid Game is an exciting exploration of the human nature and its crazy, dark and egoistic sides. Also, no spoilers here! We are here to analyze its (underrated) soundtrack “Pink

Well, perhaps you can spare some attention to this edition of Weekly Roundup. Let’s see checks list: we have new singles from the likes of Afrojack, SaberZ, Nina Kraviz and more to talk about,
• Delvig’s futuristic sound • Future Rave fusioned with Big Room-Trance? • Hard-hitting melody This caught me unexpectedly, Antoine Delvig’s establishment in the scene slowly got his prize with a remix for the one and only David Guetta in his collab with reputed Galantis and the group Little Mix. With a more futuristic sound, the
• 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
