• Wiwek-style drums over a Tech-y bassline • Anonymous breakdown and buildup • Festival-oriented composition, mostly for mashups You know, when “Balança” was announced, my expectations weren’t set high. I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised by what came out of the Hardwell and VINNE teamwork, the latter being one of the
• Khan’s bassline with Deorro’s lead • Long buildup replaces proper breakdown • Plain formula, exactly as expected It was only a matter of time after that resounding B2B set at Escape 2022: Deorro and Valentino Khan are proudly presenting “¡MAS CRAZY!”, a delightful festival explosive with 50/50 proportions on their signatures. I was craving
• Second release for MW’s new alias • Buoyant bassline, given as expected • Energetic and hard-hitting Tech House Mau P had the most successful launch in 2022, with the debut project racking up over 100 million streams with the virulent “Drugs From Amsterdam“. It is still hard to believe that a Tech House song
• Vocal samples from Aretha Franklin • A show of old and new sounds clashing gracefully • Delicate attitude unusual to Tech House I don’t know if it’s just me, but Wampa‘s production style is soo classy! The new project has already impressed us at EDM Reviewer with “Sweet Feeling”, and now it’s time for
• Hypnotic vocal loop from a reggae sample • Elegant twist of genres with a retrò vibe • Solid set of percussions On one side, I miss the Electro House style from the likes of Tom & Jame, the Dutch pair that were at the forefront of Revealed Recording’s peak… Their dirty drops were remarkably
Today I teamed up with @edmrevnik for reviewing two of Nicky Romero’s recent releases that we found worth of attention. In the past we have criticized the lack of creativity of the Dutch producer, who decided to focus on easy, cash-grabbing Progressive tracks… Something has changed, maybe? Back To Where We Started w/ Afrojack 83/100
• Delicate vocal, clashing with the underground rhythm • Fisher bassline against Future Rave lead • Experimental approach that works! Let’s be honest, Future Rave is rocking right now, and I’m thrilled to see many producers reinventing what Guetta & MORTEN have introduced to the EDM scene. This experiment by the Sidney-based Dizzie Dayze is
• Entertaining story behind a groovy beat • Great vocals to amplify the narrative • Tech House set-up with heavy percussions For all DJs, there always remains a common nuisance: that one guy or gal in the party that goes right in front of the console, in the middle of a set, and asks for
• East vs West • Flamboyant Indian lead over the drop • Soulful, looped-over vocal snippet After my colleague stated that he was used to eastern sounds such as these, and it would be beneficial if I gave it a try instead, I loved how baltaj crafted ethnic sounds in a Tech House structure! Mixing
• The drop… It’s missing something • Annoying vocals in both break and drop • Still deserves praise for leaving comfort zone. Perhaps it has become easier to bash the occasional Quintino‘s vapid releases, but hey, it’s much fun! We love and respect the Dutch creator, who is the mastermind behind several of our favorite
• Minimality throughout • Heavier kickdrums and pizzicato leads • Effective bassline presence Tech House and I aren’t the best mates, so consider this review as a step out of my comfort zone and a great sign for Wade’s future. If the Spanish creator has managed to convince me to write some lines about a
• Tech house design with trumpets • A vocal presence that blends well • Distinct from usual Heartfeldt releases While I don’t listen much to pop-leaning Future House/Bass produced by Sam Feldt, typical releases from Heartfeld records haven’t garnered my attention, until today, thanks to “Tequila”. Produced by the German artist XVW and the Italian
• Approach towards Festival Techno • Suspenseful intro from the vocals • Heavier kicks and low-end Following the events of last evening, when our IG followers suggested some great tunes, my attention was turned towards a gem from OverSky, almost by surprise. Even if I rarely enter the darker and sinister spectrums of Bass House,
• Came for Big Room, received gold • Mishmash of influences • Classy vocal performance Well, I am speechless to even begin describing what a fool, and eventually grateful I am for discovering this track. Fool, for I was ignorantly expecting some sort of typical Big Room, Progressive, or Bass House, since this label’s inclination
This Valentines weekend is not the only thing that’s exciting, as various electronic artists have seized the Friday before the romantic date to release brand new singles. This time, there’s DubVision, Fisher, Diplo and the list goes on. By the way, which EDM hits did you rewind this fourteenth? Diplo, Miguel – Don’t Forget My
• Explosive first drop • A mix of everything: Trance, Tech House, Big Room. • Ending on a melodic note Experimenting needs undivided commitment. This is something I have found soundly present within the discography of the scintillating Maurice West. I won’t mince my words that admire him anyways, as the Dutch act has harkened
• Heavy bassline • Presence of Fisher-type leads • Evolving percussions Tech House? I am definitely not the right person to comment on any tracks from the genre, committing to it only in rarest of circumstances. Yet, while listening to one of the promo submissions, “Legends” from Cyrus Khan and Launo was something that captured
The tag of “Future Rave”, as opined by two very notable acts involved at the mainstream front, has presented us with a brand new flavor of festival music. However, the nomenclature should equally act as an umbrella term for other efforts, one such done persistently by Blinders. The STMPD signed producer has, time and time
• Evil Borgore be like: Not Dubstep • Reminds of FISHER’s style • Tech-Bass fusion of elements Life does take you in circles, and Borgore is a recent example of getting signed by Armada after four years, after having focused on his own imprint: Buygore. This time he left that crazy ass evil dubstep version
• Funky instrumental • Repetition of an unneeded sound • Pianos? Mhhhhhhhhhhhh Complaints are rarer from my side when it concerns Afrojack’s music catalogue. He’s still one of the veterans who has pursued consistent quality in releases, still experimenting with his signature sounds, but man.. was this week brutal (sort of) for the Dutch sensation!
• Effective with simplistic means • Hybrid of both tech and bass elements • Lesser innovations in the schematic Being a well-known label, Hysteria unfortunately suffers from a disease impeding its true marketing potential: bad artworks. Extremely forgettable, it poses a problem as this label actually publishes quality records and obviously focused on quality over
