• This isn’t your typical Phonk track… • A brilliant fusion of melody and rhythm • Debut on Tribal Trap that sets the bar high When I first heard that Angemi had released a track on Tribal Trap, I was pleasantly surprised. Having made a name for himself on Smash The House and with DV&LM,
• Reworks “The Riddle“, again • A decent Slap House take • Pleasant vocal cover Bassjackers are a pair that I have been following for years now, and while reserving great surprises, they also have their share of forgettable releases. Lately, in great shape with Les Pays Bass EP Vol. 3 that is stuffed with
• Afrojack-type dirty lead • Festival banger for live performances • Minimal melodic pattern It is harder to rationalize the titling on Bassjackers’ latest EP, as they didn’t specifically name it “Vol. 3”, but yes, the duo migrated to Smash The House after two editions on Spinnin’ Records. Sincerely curious about this third installment, the
• Steel drums on the drop part • Classic mysterious buildup in Techno style • Excellent fusion of different styles A familiar name for us at EDM Reviewer, Karasso has several great releases on Smash The House label, yet this time the Israeli act has something very interesting for us! “Focus & Concentration” is showing
• Subtle rework on the drop part • The first section is still intact • A fitting bassline for the peculiar vocal “Disco Pogo” from the German duo Die Atzen has always fascinated me back in the days as perhaps one of the noisiest songs to date. The dirty Electro House lead charging the whole
• Future bounce, as usual • Clever, small details in the drops • Admirable vocal delivery from Mona Lisa “I Said Too Much” has been looping for a while in my library, and it’s time to sum up my thoughts about this beautiful endeavor! It’s surprising to see Mike Williams away from his home turf
• Vocals, the pinnacle of this track • Minimal techno characteristics • Basic but effective schematics Usually, Smash The House’s uploads go unnoticed by me. The same can be said about their underrepresented sub-labels. For some obvious reasons, my interest in the label founded by Dimitri Vegas and Dis-like Mike has waned over time. So,
• Repetitive and tiring vocal • Generic slappy drop • Not so much differentiable styles, considering the names involved Hi everyone! We are back in such a good shape (honestly no, I have gained weight this summer) and with energy to review the latest EDM tracks out this week. I thought this comeback would be
• Solid performance by Kat Nestel • Melancholic melody… but more than asked? • Redeems Smash’s sub-label After what seems like a long six months, I decided to explore Progressive House again, a saturated sector on which I have partial thoughts for but still manages to surprise me from time to time. Talking about it,
• Yeap, you’ve read the rating. I took my meds, I swear! • Excellent execution of the Christmas theme • Short Progressive House drop with the recognizable bells “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, they say. Textbook Progressive House songs have found way into top of my “to-avoid” list, but I have found
Today, I will analyze one of the leading Australian veterans around, Timmy Trumpet. Thanks to his 2014 hit “Freaks”, Timmy broke through into the mainstream scene, and in the consecutive years constantly kept a coveted position in the Melbourne Bounce niche with many underground releases. That’s when I was properly introduced to his work and
• “Peer Gynt” gets a modernistic rework two centuries after creation • Excellent idea that loses charm ipse facto its business relation • Intriguing hybrid experiment This article has been made possible solely on the basis for completing a bet I waged with the fans on reviewing the first suggestion in a poll on Instagram,
Shooting a fish in a barrel, they say. It’s unnecessary to point out the problems that a project like Smash The House, and, more specifically, Generation Smash has, but people usually miss the big picture in these cases. Today we are analyzing the 19 months of growth of the DV&LM sublabel, that, starting from its
• Old-school melody • Commonplace structure, surprisingly generic considering the talent • Bereft of Japanese vibes or references By this time, you probably know the mentioned artist. Vito Mendez specialises in Big Room and perhaps some Electro House exceptions, influenced heavily from Smash The House record label signature. His latest composition “Banzai” did catch my
• Brutal kicks, a trademark of Dimatik • Mature and vicious composition • A bigroom weapon, floor warmer Despite our thoughts about the label, is Smash The House still worthy? Yes indeed, as its probably lesser known sub-label Generation Smash (rarely) has some interesting tracks by underrated producers, one of those tracks being the “Wild”
• Implausible involvement of the un-mentioned triage • Prototype version better than the final one • Only efforts from the Dutch creators in this project On Friday, thousands of fans from all around the world patiently waited to listen to the huge collaboration titled as “Raver Dome” from the so-called ‘3 Are Legend‘ alongside the
• Dark, aggressive atmosphere • Big Room structure introducing new sounds • Unexpected surprises with distinctive samples It is exciting to see Loca Recordings always supporting new, talented and important names (even if I rarely can keep up with that steadily aggressive release schematic). Like a grizzly catching a fish with his claws in a
This week, we’ll be remarking on a few trends we’ve noticed before perhaps a bigger article on the topic. 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
At the commencement of every one of these “negative reviews”, I always specify my opinion and verdict about them. This is not antipathy, and most of the time if we don’t appreciate a composition we disregard it, but at times it falls in our raison d’être to warn our readers about the extremely despicable things
• Incoherent song • “Co-produced” by WILL K and Eddie Thoneick: not exactly two amateurs • Complete absence of personality I already have my prejudices about Smash The House and Danny Avila, but “LaLa” gave me such a bad impression that I needed to write about this release. I have strong, strong, strong doubts about
• There is no need for three highlights, please read the full review It would be futile to admit that you are reading this review just for the amusement, but rather because you want to see BLOOD. Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed. I am usually really cautious with negative reviews, because disapproving someone’s else
