    • Orchestral melody • Something’s missing… Violins? • Fresh spin on the drop The trend of blending classical music with EDM elements hasn’t escaped me, and I like it quite a lot: probably because of the impressive results from different perspectives. It’s the case in several Sinphony releases, starting from the compilation released a few

    • Impressive and stunning twist in the finale • The rest is clichè, but well made • Hard-hitting kick on a minimal, reverberated bass It makes me delighted to review this track, considering that I am not a fan of both of these artists. Aoki has jumped on the crypto-NFT bandwagon with doubtful results for

    Is this how the Sinphony boss treats his collaborators? My relationship with Timmy Trumpet has been sweet and sour: The Australian performer has an entertaining persona during live exhibitions (at least on the mainstage), has a hallmark brand (his trumpet), and has always tried to bring out underground genres and names. He has synergies with

    Running a show alone isn’t easy peasy: for over a year, the Weekly Roundup has continued under a single writer. That’s about to change, however, as this edition breaks that monotony. Happy to announce that we have a special guest: I will take the lead in the first half with his four selections, followed by

    • Where’s Aoki? Busy playing with NFTs? • Superlative vocal and instrumental • Necessary comparison with Swedish House Mafia If even KAAZE says “I’ve never been so proud of a song in my life”, one has all the reasons to be hyped about ‘Whole Again’. Alongside the Swedish creator, Steve Aoki, and reputed singer John

    Wow, time sure does flies! “No Beef” is a classic that accompanied me from the early days of my musical experience, when Dirty Dutch/Electro House was trending. Luminaries such as Romero and Afrojack were rising, and that banger with Miss Palmer came at the right moment. The Dutch act created a marvellous breakdown paired to

    Going back again to the topic of NFTs, this time it is more of my subjective view or a little rant that has been popping in my head. If you missed out on our earlier posts about the notorious digital tokens, in short (and entirely inaccurate, for the sake of brevity), these items are same

    • Vocals – Low pitched, as usual • Catchy lyrics atop Slap House recipe • Alok – Ressurector of Brazilian Bass Happy new year, everyone! Start of 2022 hasn’t brought us lots of releases, so I had to rummage through last Christmas’s releases (going to ignore the rusty “but that’s past year bro!” jokes) in

    Well there. “Been some time” is a massive understatement to make, especially since the time last episode saw lights of the day. Anyways, tenth episode couldn’t happen at a weirder time, but here goes. Checked the previous Friday list as usual, and acts such as D.O.D., Steve Aoki and Love Regenerator and more have been

    For a content creator in this millennium, it seems more avenues are opening up for selling their craft. The recent hubbub has developed regarding the NFTs (Non-fungible token), as various esteemed names in Electronic industry are already diving into this trend. But a lot of common people are probably scratching their heads off now –

    It has been a while! In the last months I’ve been very busy with some other project and, since recaps are taking a lot of efforts, I’ve stopped the series. However, today I’m excited to be back with a new mini-recap to talk about some of the notable tracks of the week and touch on

    • 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

    • Signature Arty vibes • Tantalising pianoforte breakdown • Plenitude of Festival and summer vibes! Max Styler isn’t really a neoteric personage in the industry, as he’s been enhancing the Dim Mak roster since 2014. Over the course of the years, we’ve seen him making, playing & releasing almost every genre. Lately, the American artist

    • Sloppily insipid • Basic, generic, dull structure. • Imitates to be a catchy modern take, but remains forgettable Usually, we commend reworks: some antique melodies are the perfect material for a contemporizing twist! In the last months, we have preferred Olly James’ take on “Moving Too Fast” and “Life Is Music“, for instance. The

    A certain discontentment came for me. I have had many doubts and speculations about this project by Bassjackers, the first album from the eminent duo, released earlier Friday. A classic slideshow for “The Biggest” is what I was going to arrange for, reviewing it track by track, but my thoughts were becoming predictably repetitive. So,

    • More W&W than expected • Strongly festival-oriented • Originally a “Komodo” rework, then modified because of copyright issues Capturing the attention among other releases this Friday, we are dealing with yet another significant team-up. Today we will be expressing our thoughts about the collaboration between the supergroup “3 Are Legends” and the leading Dutch

    88/100 • Lots of genres combined together • Insane power • Creative approach for a festival edit 2018 has ended, leaving us great music, awesome performances, new undiscovered talents, some bad news… and, of course, the renaissance of some already consecrated artists in the scene. And yes, you are right, we are talking about W&W. This was definitely
