• 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. I am a big fan of the Dutch Hardstyle creator, even though he’s releasing plenty of music that comes packaged with
• 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
• Arrow‘s originality is completely gone • Unrecognisable results from these aliases • Generic, generic as hell Note: This is a more detailed review of the song from another perspective. The earlier mention can be found on the Weekly Roundup LI. Oh, Timmy… teaming up with the Rave Republic seemed like a pragmatic choice, as
Before I proceed, let’s begin with the initial thought of how I wasn’t as keen about reviewing Hardwell‘s hiatus-breaking album “REBELS NEVER DIE“. My opinion concerning his recent Festival Techno sound remains intact since the day the post-UMF article “Welcome back, Hardwell!” came out. Reiterating that here, in short, it’s simply not my cup of
Pop music stalwarts have always tested the waters in myriads of Dance music, be it Lady Gaga’s enthusiasm with electro and house or the Weeknd’s recent endeavors involving Swedish House Mafia, to varying degrees of success. The world of EDM has intertwined (and once ruled) over the pop industry time and time again, leading to
• First team-up between two giants of the current Bass House scene • Very similar to “Hyper”… • Excellent job on the breakdown’s loop Expecting something more from the talented names involved here, and not something similar to “Hyper”, unfortunately, the EP contains similar naming and hence coincidences remain here. Released a couple of weeks
• Genial rework of Alestorm’s hit • An innocent bagpipe that provides a hilarious contrast • Frenchcore with heavy “classic Hardstyle” flavoring Whatever knowledge that I have acquired so far about the tenacious world of Frenchcore stems solely from Sefa (thanks to Beatmad’s critics of his songs) and his colleague Dr. Peacock, so excuse my
• Delightful vocals • Inspired by MEDUZA’s deep house sound • Catchy samples throughout Review written by @headsoverdreams From the land of mesmerizing landscapes, enticing chocolates, and luxury watches, I am happy to bring forth a new house single that will prove sumptuous for your fine Saturday evening. This solid club record comes from the
The second week of March is no stranger to notable releases: Chainsmokers, Blasterjaxx, MAKJ, and more are in this week’s Instalment of the roundup! Armin van Buuren, R3HAB – Love We Lost 72/100 After dabbling with Techno in “We Can Dance Again”, the Dutch heavyweight took a sharp U-turn towards radio-ready sounds, and even he
“It’s intense, high-energy, and fun”. While only two people found it helpful as a lonesome brief review for a vinyl edition of Matrix 1999’s score, this excerpt will perhaps be met with an endearing affection among the avid fanatics. Roll back to the final day of the last March before the turn of the 21st
• Delectable pop influences • Soulful presence from Arcana • Cracking dubstep sounds in Trap twist Hey everyone, it’s been some time! Finally, I am back with my batteries recharged and a metric tonne of new music to share. Anyways, “Into The Wild” is NCS’ final offering for this year, a hard trap tune made
A year ago, the beautiful “Christmas Time” by DV&LM, Brennan Heart, Armin van Buuren and Jeremy Oceans came out. I was rather sure that the song would become a Christmas hit of sorts… However, one rotation around the sun later, the collaboration hasn’t achieved great results, with “only” 500k views on YouTube and way lesser
• Nostalgic and creative • Darker first impression • Future Rave drop with Big Room undertone The relatively less-known Revealed sub-label BODY WRMR has reappeared again. After a brief look through, I found out that Jeffrey Sutorius is the brains behind the operations (the logo reminded me slightly of the Dash Berlin). In fact, “Hypnotized”
Humour me this: What rhymes with new music and friday? Well, don’t ask me, but stars like Alesso, Dom Dolla and furthermore are warming up this eighteenth. Nothing much left to say, so best to get into what you’re here for – the roundup! Alesso – Somebody To Use (Toxic Mix) 82/100 Striking balance with
It is not hard to imagine the harsh reactions that await from some readers after this review is published out there, since the forenamed American alias has an incredibly devoted audience (especially in US) to nearly a fanatic point, and I can comprehend why: his take on Melodic Dubstep can be outer-worldly. This is why
Let’s be straightforward, shall we? In this fast-moving world, nobody’s got time. Information relayed short and sweet is most welcomed among Internet dwellers. I am aware that our reviews appear in midst of the multiple heart-stealing animal pictures or something more eye-catchy (ughm!). Plus as we discussed just a few weeks back, listening and writer’s
A few months ago, I happened to present my views on some of the latest and affordable audio production/editing plugins: One being Ummet Ozcan’s Genesis digital synth and the other an all-in-one mixing software from KSHMR, in collaboration with Splice. After these, I couldn’t find any other major competitor providing economical plugins worth mentioning until
The inception of this special article was because of a singular review for Deagon’s production, but while listening to HOA I finalized that another artist could also share this article and would be beneficial: Quando. It has been some time since I enjoyed not one, but two Radar releases in the same week! The Greek
It’s unnervingly difficult to keep a calm tone while penning this article, but today we want to discuss a particular group of people we dislike the most. The infamous ”Copy-Pasters”. One would know that most big artists are using marketing agencies for submitting their songs to promotional networks, including blogs. These agencies attach “press releases”
77/100 • Relaxing and solemn breakdown • Magnetic vocal by Devon Graves • Surprising funky drop The keyword of today is RELAXATION. Cloud 41, with the help of the singer Devon Graves, managed to create that relaxing mood we were looking for, ideally. Their new single called “Letting Go” luxuriated us like a warm sheet during a cold,
