• Clear distinctions between their respective styles • Two drops bursting with energy and aggression • Infectious melody and lively basslines The Rave Culture roster has started to feel somewhat predictable, with the same familiar names consistently delivering quality productions, but lacking that spark of innovation that new talent often brings. That’s precisely why I’m
• Classic big room twist • Saberz-W&W influences • Linear but energetic Oftentimes, there are considerable comments on artists who once pursued Big Room— when it was trendy that is— and have since moved on to greener pastures, so to speak. Good thing we have independent producers who are willing to stick to their roots
• Only the riff is part of the Olive’s original • Futuristic drop over a nostalgic theme • Clear passion felt on the tribute’s work In 1996, Olive released the hit “Not Alone”. In the next 25 years, the track has been reworked many times in the EDM world, from names like ATB, Saberz and
• Presence of Bonka • Abrupt mood switch between break and drop • Generic piano that doesn’t convince In the last few years, I am not been as committed to Revealed Recordings with the same passion as earlier, but occasionally there are standout releases that make me jump on my seat, like “Escape”. Thank god
Onto the forty-eight episode of the Weekly Roundup, and we have scores of tracks from monikers such as Don Diablo, Audien, Zeds Dead, and plenty more. Genres covered this time you ask? The latest from Big Room to Dubstep, the list has it. Alright, enough small talk, let’s see what the second week has in
• 50% Trance, 25% Techno, and 25% Big Room! • Robust set of percussions • Fascinating breakdown leading to a melodic drop Congratulations to Intensity Recordings on signing this high-profile release! SaberZ, with several Big Room releases on major imprints such as Rave Culture and Revealed Recordings, are very much veterans in the festival house
So, SaberZ released a track via the NFT route, titled “Konoha”. The aftermath was various negative reactions from the fans. Candidly, they had a twenty-minute or so of a livestream explaining the rationale behind this decision. Since the song wasn’t approved by labels, and with these times being the toughest for any live-performing artist, they
• A dream collaboration from both duos • Equal teamwork on a banger • Homage to earlier Big Room As Rave Culture continues dominating the current scene, leading acts KEVU and SaberZ haven’t stopped striding with a strong ensemble of hits. The genre-bearers have released multiple club-weapons out in a short span already; the Hungarian
• Third release from AXMO in Rave Culture • Two artists adeptly sharing their signature • Euphoric collaboration after festival hit, Rave Love Almost a couple of months ago, the Rave Culture team decided to début themselves at the 808 Songkran Festival in Thailand. Among the talented roster included KEVU, Andrew Rayel, MORTEN and obviously
Welcome to our first exclusive series for this year, “Lost Labels Of Yesterday”. In this trilogy, we will remind ourselves of music imprints that decided to hit the brake; whether long-forgotten or recently abandoned. While this would not be an in-depth analysis, we will attempt to find the reason on why these once thriving labels
• Elegant sequence in the break’s transitional phase • Standard drop structure, considering Tranceroom’s boundaries • Potentialities found in this underrated gem Outrave Recordings is a smaller and independent imprint which has already impressed me Psy-Trance release by Chainix some weeks ago. It’s always a pleasure to discover the hidden gems that up and coming
• Sturdy and dark production, inspired by RC vibes • Constricted melodic pattern that didn’t fully convince me • Exciting potentials exploited in this entertaining style While crate-digging in internet for new songs from unheard and underrated talents, I happened to come across “Mindwave”, an enjoyable Trance Room production from one Chainix, and thus helped
• Six years of camaraderie • Fourth collaboration between Saberz & ANG • Unique studio-chemistry at display Following its unanticipated introduction at Parookaville 2020 by Dutch titans W&W, fellow reputed Hungarian Electronic act SaberZ and renowned Mexican duo ANG have shown mettle with their newest creation titled “Home Run”. In this particular opportune, the latter
• Sandro’s 1st solo release on Rave Culture • Well-suited for festivals • Old school Big Room in a new fashion Despite all signs telling us that the summer of this year is well done for, it is yet to be over for many Dance music performers. Dutch solo Sandro Silva knows that and has
If we were caring about “engagement” and “page clicks” (spoiler: we don’t, since we don’t run sponsored ads), we could have just presented Elon Musk’s outlandish decision of naming his son “X Æ A-12“ (there are some reasons, but let’s give a pass on that) and joke about it like the other EDM media channels
• Unusual assortment of samples • Tranceroom (Trance + Big Room) scheme • Experimental and independent attitude Despite an upcoming management change that leaves many doubts about Loca‘s undetermined future, its rich catalog continues to deliver EDM gems like “Awakening“. The creator, REOS, is a young Italian creator with a couple of releases on minor
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
• Classic Big Room arrangements • Appreciable distribution of signature sounds • Dismal appellation If our readers would reminisce for a while, they will recollect our concern towards Rave Culture, erstwhile known as the esteemed Mainstage, of being scarce of any other cognomens other than the heavyweight W&W and their dynamic protégé Maurice West. But
This week saw a new round of disappointments on many fronts but also the rise of some interesting players. 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 and if you have any tracks you’d like
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
It was definitely hard to just talk about nine tracks this week because there were so many things to discuss! As always, we’ll be partnering with The QR Network to compile a short recap of notable tracks that we didn’t have time to cover during the previous week. We hope you enjoy our selection and if you
