• This is not Harris & Ford • Generic Slap House patterns • Annoying vocal over a Slap House style The duo is one of the rising star in the Spinnin’ roster, and for good reason. Like other talented names (notably LNY TNZ), they managed to bring their version of Hardstyle into a commercial environment.
• Blend of distinctive styles • Melodic and resonating synths • Lively vocal performance matching the theme As the world gradually moves into fall, Norwegian hotshot Tungevaag is teaming up with ‘Bigroom To The Future’ duo Bassjackers, as they present their after-summer single, “Written In The Stars”. This collaboration was an unexpected occurrence when they
When analyzing a label, I am aware to have a big prejudice: I prefer entities with few, well-selected releases, privileging the so-called “Quality Over Quantity” approach. I’m speaking about Rave Culture or Intensity Recordings (1 song each week), where there is a clear project and strategy behind every choice. Speaking about a different situation, I
Riddle of the week – This singer’s vocal was sampled by Avicii in his all-time hit electronic song “Levels”. Who is he? (Hint: Featured in the article) Six episodes already?! You got to be kidding me. No, I am not going to make another cliched remark “oh TIMe PaSses SO faST”. Absolutely not. Instead, having
The Big Room icons Blasterjaxx have been on a roll, releasing a bunch of singles including “Rulers of The Night”, which celebrates a decade of their formation. Further, they also plan to release fifteen tracks on top of the other that they released since this year’s onset. Thanks to them, the upcoming artists have a
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
• Contrasting and different style • Repetitive vocal, even with pitch alterations • Catchy but predictable melody Being a producer that has always been focused on offering unique material to the masses since 2016, Sikdope has been meandering to either find a new style or attempting to give “back to the roots” sensation. “Myself” is
• Generic, unnecessary vocal loop instead of SASH! original • Downgraded version of Olly James’ original twist • Why, and how is this being released again on Spinnin’? You missed our negative reviews, didn’t you? It was time, finally, to release a good old rant blast. The protagonists of this particular travesty are Quintino, a
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
• Bass-Tech House hybrid with twists • Catchy bassline, as expected • Minimal attitude to emphasize the rhythm After mentioning him for multiple times on our blog-space, especially on the artist focus series a few months back, ELYX has ranked upwards on the support and recognition ranks since then. The immensely talented youngster has proved
• Minimal Techno presentation • Simplistic and linear arrangement • A delightful revisit to SvD’s roots For the longest time, Doorn Records has an underrated (but iconic) status among its other colleagues housed under the leading imprint of Spinnin’ Records. Whether that is a flaw in marketing or having releases not affiliated to the mainstream
Out of all the classics, do you know what remains as my favourite drop till date? If I have to be brutally objective (excluding tunes that I love because of sentiments attached to them). It is, surprise, a nearly forgotten TWIIG x Pitchback ID that premiered on Tomorrowland many summers ago. While this might not
• Ten years of Maxximize • Melodic Big Room signature • A nostalgic yet anticipated creation 10 summers ago, two distinctive individuals from the Dutch electronic scene decided to team-up, and the rest remains history. Thom and Idir decided to move forward with Blasterjaxx, perhaps creating on of the most influential names in the festival
• Playful and melodic • Individual styles hard to distinguish • Radiant vocal presence In the articles preceding this one, I noted often that Spinnin’ Records is in doldrums, releasing a barrage of commonplace and generic tracks. A few rare exceptions make their entrance now and then, one of the latest being the team-up between
Not one, not two, but three “Wellerman” reworks have surfaced this week! Even if I found myself preferring all of them, my growing intrigue by this singular coincidence has convinced me to focus on the theme instead of making separate articles. First version, my favourite, is the Haohinh, KENNY MUSIK & Jawny Sparklez version published
• Commendable vocal performance • Stale and predictable drop • Can artists stop copying Alan Walker’s style? Tungevaag had my admiration a few months ago, his bouncy style being catchy and he was settling as one of the recurring main figures in Spinnin’ Records. Singles like “Knockout” (honourable mention to Da Tweekaz’s remix) and “Peru”
Hate it or love it, the Maxximize founders are back! For this entire year, the Dutch veteran Blasterjaxx have released over ten tracks, joining forces with the likes of Armin van Buuren. Especially admirable is that they wrapped up two separate EPs after the enormous “Perspective” album that came out last year. Despite all the
• Funky vibes, Hysteria’s classic style • Speed House segments, snappy • Creative trap vibes After experimenting with his alter-ego JeeCee, the leading Dutch figure John Christian is here again! I somehow happened to miss his earlier release “Dos” a few months earlier, but it is rejoicing to see him back on Hysteria. His funky
• Sublime and exquisite composition • Atmospheric vocal • Stand-out Tech House tune Before I begin with the usual, there is an amusing backstory on why I haven’t reviewed any Bass-heavy House production, knowing that I am a “bass-head”. Just some time ago, I was stuck in a dilemma between a DnB offering from Dropgun
• Unexpected but promising collaboration • Fusion of Progressive and Big Room trademarks • Decent release with requisite energy Last week, the renowned Mexican natives ANG decided to publish their studio joint-efforts along with Portuguese act, KEVU. This time they crafted a festival worthy hybrid of Progressive-Big Room, titled as “For Our People”. The pair
• The bizarre return of METAFO4R • Standard Electro House layouts • Appreciable breakdown section For the last few decades, music has witnessed unprecedented amount of band break-ups in all sorts of genres, while some even conducting a reunion after years. Electronic scene addicts would most remember the goosebumps striking from the homecoming of Swedish
