• Perfect amalgamation of signatures • Playful but catchy breakdown • Intricate drop hook with Dyro’s influence There is a reason why I wanted to review “Warp Speed” and not – let me search through this week’s releases – the 22Bullets “collab”. Balance. What do we (or at least, I) expect from any collaboration? We
• Maddix’s trading Big Room for Techno signature • Hypnotic breakdown, manipulative atmosphere • Huge hit or miss with the drop There was a lot of hype gathering around Maddix in the past weeks. Mysterious teasers, social pictures turning pitch-black, rumours about albums, collabs, a new label… Too much noise for a “normal release”, in
Another year, another sampler. 2020 is the year of Coronavirus and the meetings in Miami Music Week are essentially not happening (considering that Ultra is cancelled), but, luckily, we have the samplers! They are online, they can’t damage us… Unless in rare cases. Overall 66/100 Jokes apart, like every year we put our dirty hands
• 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
Before the insults get hurled at us, we would like to explain our progressive change of opinion towards W&W imprint, Rave Culture, in the latest months. Re-branded in 2017, the Armada sub-label initially didn’t convince us. At first, it consisted just of W&W and Maurice West releases, a problem which haunted the antecedent brand in
• Atmospheric presence • Lively vocal performance from David Shane • Engaging drop segment developing a pumping bassline We concluded our critic to Revealed new design with a phrase: “Never judge a book from its cover“. We judged the cover, now it’s time for the book… In this case, the release, one from the specialists
• 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
2020 is underway and labels are getting back to their offices to release new music. Revealed Recordings has announced a rebrand but ended up shooting itself in the foot. Protocol returned to its roots but no one started off the year as strong as Loca Recordings with their massive collaboration which we covered over the
Our top story this week is that Borgeous ripped off Cheyenne Giles’ signature sound in his latest bass house track. In other news, Loca Recordings released a track from Declain, Noiz Van Grane introduces a fresh new sound on Nik Cooper, and Thomas Gold shows his label is nothing more than average. Additionally, Lucas &
• Sequel to “Not Alone”; we tried to compare the two songs • Another vocalist, Nevve: great performance • Entrancing vibes in the Pre-Drop I love how Sick Individuals are “connecting” some of their songs, using a visually appealing style, added to the musical aspects. “Luna” and “Kodi” had both a planetary landscape in their
Busy week, with ADE, samplers, new music, DJ Mag, and various news… But we had time to cover some (more or less disappointing) collabs for you guys. As always, we’ll be compiling a short recap of notable tracks that we didn’t have time to cover during the previous week. We hope you enjoy our selection
• Organic and alluring breakdown • Playful and refreshing drop segment • Leading vocal presence Since the esteemed Dutch label Revealed Recordings unveiled their community label, we have ended up writing for a lot of compositions getting a release there. Various uprising talents have made their mark with this imprint, even getting to the main
We have had a hard time with Revealed ADE Samplers’ in recent years with a lot of heavy debate between our team. I can still remember my boredom at the ten similar big room tracks in 2017. Anyway, the 2019 EP took many steps forwards from the previous editions, presenting a wide variety of EDM
If I had to describe “Dreamchild” in a single sentence, I would say that “it’s the album that the industry needed“. I must be honest, I’m not a big fan of rock, but, if you use to read my articles, you know that I really appreciate innovation and risk, and “Dreamchild” is full of both
• Delicate, sweet vocal • Unexpected vocal chop scheme • A sparkling personality, combining different vibes altogether “Follow Me” was unusually promoted and pushed by Revealed, despite being a community release, with the exclusive publication of an official video (rather generic for me, unfortunately). However, I can see why this gem by Vessbroz and Mark
• Clean, powerful and dynamic drop • Predictable structure stuck within dark progressive boundaries • Excellent quality level, next step: uniqueness Oskah is such a fascinating figure. I barely managed to find something from his social channels; he seems like a producer that prefers keeping on his own, without exposing too much. A strategy that,
• Dannic is back on Revealed! • Splendid vocal presence, accompanied by a sweet guitar • Alluring and emotional structure After three long years, the veteran Dutch native Dannic is surprisingly back on Revealed (if we exclude his last collaboration with Hardwell, released last February) as a solo. This time, he has chosen to work
• Alluring Future House twist • Charming vocal from Harrison (uncredited) • Modernistic, yet nostalgic While the days of sunshine and intense is almost at its dusk for this year, it seems that the notable DJ/Producers are taking no hiatus from providing a further score of hits for this season. Today our attention will be
• Also known as “2010 ID” • Oldschool vibes, inspired by “Encoded” in particular • Dedicated to long-term listeners I had many ambiguities while writing this review, as this is the first 90+ with a new design, and a one from me after almost half a year. I constantly fiddled with the rating, until I decided to
• 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
• Charismatic vocal performance by David Shane • Nostalgic powerful melodies to signify the golden era aka 2015 • Happy and positive atmosphere David Shane’s rise as vocalist this year has been an ongoing trend especially in the melodic side of electronic music, progressive house to be specific, singing in songs produced by Manse, Olly
