• A mix between Bass and Future House • Calmer and experimental winning take from DMNX • Honorable mention: BLUK’s aggressive remix As promised, we have reviewed the victor for the “Pass Me By” charity remix contest. Published via swerve collective, the original from Jake & Alvar (who has delighted us, yet left craving for
While reading the fourth instalment of Weekly Roundup from my colleague, my attention was warranted by “underground” remixes by artists such as Martin Garrix and Ryos. It’s hardly a rarity to see “Festival mixes” wisely released a couple of weeks after the radio-friendly prototype, intending to satisfy both sides of the fanbase: EDM centered and
Riddle of the week This DJ/Producer revealed his own synth plugin in 2020 almost after eight years of teasing. Who is he? (Hint: Featured in this article) Ahh, look who is here. Yes, you there, looking for another edition of Weekly Roundup™, aren’t you? (I don’t take the emoji lightly, paid lavishly for the trademark
My relationship with Revealed has been on a steep downhill in the last months, since I am not a big fan of generic Bass House, yet my respect remains untainted for the label. For celebrating its 10th year of existence, there is a brand new Remixed EP that comes with a bunch of Hardwell classics
As stated a few days ago, I temporarily shifted my focus on artists and not the music entirely, since the so-called established names are having a hard time to release impressive tracks as before. Let’s talk about one of my favorite producers around: Zafrir. He reminds me of KSHMR for some specific reasons, albeit there
• A classic brought back to life • Bass House arrangements with dynamic elements • Short yet effective production We are in a point of history where nearly every electronic artist seems to be doing lazy reworks of either modern hits or yesterday’s evergreen, just to accumulate further attention (and royalty) by getting placed on
• Future House meets Future Bass • Predictable yet effective sound-selection • Helping a great cause in the process (read below) I rarely happen to feature releases older than two weeks, so that our content is more up-to-date, but today I am satisfyingly making yet another exception. “Pass Me By” from Jake & Alvar comes
• Animated and catchy beat-work • Heavily edited vocal performance • A revamp worth a discussion and listen Second chances are a rarity these days. Especially in the music scene, if the audience deems an artist as utterly “worthless” or “uninspired”, nine out of ten times the vox populi will negatively influence the overall perception
• A perfect synergy between Hybrid Trap and Dubstep • Vo’s vocals shows its total potential in this remix • Best remix of this EP?! After perusing through your comments in the “3 Dubstep picks” article, it was clear enough on how admired SWARM is in the community. Also, I discovered that he had a
• Originally a pop single by Tigerlily • Overlapping elements in the breakdown • Creative design in drop with distorted vox An unusual remix for my standards, this re-work presented by the LA denizen bloody white has impressed me to better extents. It’s been a while since I heard about Tigerlily, an Australian DJ/Producer known
• Another useless, generic Slap House rework • Loud kick, usual bassline • Nothing valuable added to the pop hit The grand winner of this time’s bash is Wasback, with orthodox and untimed Slap House release; trust me, “Tik Tok” has ticked all the boxes in my checklist. – Cover of a famous pop song?
• Refreshing and invigorating twist • Progressive Trance nuances with stand-out features • Doesn’t dilute the emotions of the classic When the popular website of 1001Tracklists came out with its top 101 producers for last year, the first name was surprising for me but gradually making more and more sense to me. Oliver Heldens has
• Idiosyncratic vocal befitting Warden’s darker mood • Intricate melody that follows experimental schematics • Elegant and engaging arp synths “I just want people to forget about their problems and be happy“. This phrase by David Warden immediately caught my attention: with a genuine simplicity, the young German producer shows what he wants to achieve
• Monolithic rendition of the original • French icon re-tracing to darker Techno tones • The next super-duo in the Dance scene? Without much hiatus, the reputed personages David Guetta and MORTEN have returned! The pair have been displaying splendid studio-chemistry lately with collaborations, especially the recent “New Rave EP” that came previous July. Today,
Almost a year ago, I happened to talk about “Endemic 2”, a powerful trap compilation from Tribal Trap, and it is a pleasure to work on the third chapter today. I still listen to the top five artists of the preceding edition, and following many of them involved in the project.. so you can understand
• Generic Slap or generic Progressive House? • Predictable and mundane • Better production in the original track Having become a recent favorite of many online curators and radio jockeys, it is safe to say “Lovefool” is a successful hit by Berlin based act twocolors, and I am going to review the festival rendition done
• Return of the Dutch act on Spinnin’ Records after eight years • Contradictory decisions in the arrangement • Hasteful approach Every artist has their share of defining and significant moments, either it be a chord-striking performance or that one particular ground-breaking hit. And this sets a standard thereafter, which fans and critics look back
• Fast-pitched vocals, awesomely rude • Real bass house vibes akin to Jauz • Definitively festival-oriented version Ironically enough, the latest revelation from Parisian heavyweight DJ Snake “Trust Nobody”, did not manage to convince me entirely on its own. The rework from Malaa and Valentino Khan explore further experimentations, but I was on the lookout
• Classic vigorous SAYMYNAME style • Annoying bridge between the two drops • Outdated and unnecessary vocals The underlying causes on why this production was created and how it was finalized to be released are easily and certainly debatable. Premiered last year with couple of delays to offset the hype for this otherwise significant team-up,
• Tech House base under a Rap vocal • Short and lazy RTK performance • Focus on the original and its potential The fun part of owning a blog is that I can review whatever I want… So, today my Italian side is in charge and I’ll speak about “Bando“. Being transparent, I wasn’t thinking
• Conspicuous melody, typical in Nicky’s remixes • Cut-and-dried structure, feels repetitive • Drop that drives the track into an emotional spiral As many of you know, leading Dutch act Martin Garrix releases complementing remix packages of his well-known tracks, say “Dreamer” or “So Far Away”. This is not an exception and as the occasion
