A curious title, a comeback after decades, and a blend of sounds coming from both US and Lithuania.“Inperimental” is a mix of vibes, old and new, and a profound project that impressed me. Both visually and musically. Behind the album is Plasma, a Lithuanian electronic duo that lit up the Baltics’ ’90s rave scene with
• Psy bass, classic Trance, dark Techno buildup • Dreamy atmosphere but still hits hard • Kinda eerie, kinda beautiful Spectral Trance, anyone? This new one from nilsix, aka Ørjan Nilsen + Mark Sixma showed up on Dreamstate and immediately caught my ear. “Ghost in the Machine” has that exact balance of weight and weirdness
• Brazilian Bass and a blend of genres • Elegant strings add unexpected sophistication • Professional production that shines in the details RadWulf continues to be one of the most interesting characters in EDM right now. The guy literally claims to be from the future, and I like the whole cyberpunk aesthetic in his trippy
• Focus on the melody, non on the kick • Good fit for workout playlists • Balance between old-school and new trends STISEMA‘s latest track is taking over my gym playlist in a big way. Titled “Energy“, it’s a killer release from the Norwegian DJ, together with The Rocketman, released via Maddix’s Extatic label. Our
• Contrast between harsh techno and soft orchestral breaks • A massive lead melody cuts through gritty basslines • Lana, reimagined Cedric Gervais’ remix of Summertime Sadness is iconic. A Progressive House anthem that defined an era. So, when Nik Stone, Lazard & Averro took on the challenge 13 years later, I was intrigued. The
• A dark, modern Techno vibe with a captivating atmosphere • Smooth transitions and a funky 90s vocal touch • No-frills, effective drop that hits just right Let me introduce you to a fresh pair of names: Dovble V and Karl Oksari. These two have already teamed up on tracks like “Rockt Den Groove” (worth
• A bold fusion of 60s soul and futuristic Hypertechno-Trance • Nostalgic 90s synths meet frenetic Hardstyle energy • A chaotic yet oddly cohesive dancefloor weapon This is quite a strange rework, both in its final outcome and its choice of source material, which comes from a very different era. The Marvelettes’ “Please Mr. Postman”
• A fresh take on a 2004 Eurodance track • Squeenzie‘s vocals are warm yet vivid • The drop fuses aggressive Techno with Hardstyle vibes This Hypertechno cover starts off strong, choosing the underrated 2004 Eurodance track “Lonely” by Deep.Spirit. While I wish I could dig up more about the original artist (there’s not much
• Good balance between nostalgic and contemporary EDM • Impressive vocal presence • Pushing the genre boundaries The classic “Up & Down” by Billy More now showcases a Techno vest! Very curious rework today, as the Rave Techno genre is entering the music world with more and more revisitations of the classics, often with disappointing
Hold on! New remixes just dropped! SEVEN is a queer, FLINTA*-leaning label blending house and techno, focused on providing a new blend of House and Techno to the scene, which feels rather saturated lately. And that’s why I’m so pumped. The debut single is very promising: “Hold On” by CRYME, the founder. It features 4
Fritz Kalkbrenner is no stranger to us. The German icon, first known to the masses for the global hit “Sky & Sand” with his brother Paul, and then for a sequence of Gold and Platinum hits, is a stable member in the Techno olympus of stars. He has performed at some of the world’s biggest
• Clean sound design • Trance-inspired buildups create dark, ethereal tension • Powerful bassline progression Today I want to talk about “Solus”, a very interesting Mainstage Techno release from Mannie Sapra. This talented producer from Rotterdam has already built a solid foundation with a volcanic Guest Mix for Laidback Luke’s Mixmash Records, following a third
• Unique techno • Strong vocals over solid beat • Kick doesn’t impress, the idea does Sure, purists might argue that “Historia de Amor” isn’t the Hard Techno we’re used to hearing from Techno star Deborah de Luca. Call it what you will – Melodic Techno, Techno, Bass House – but I’m penning this review
• Dark, underground Techno with a modern twist • Eerie vocals and distorted organ create haunting atmosphere • Fusion of styles results in a powerful festival anthem ORYMA, POLTERGST, and danzen have conjured up a “monster” of a banger with their latest collaboration, “Teufel.” Released on Spinnin’ Records, this track fearlessly ventures into underground territory,
• Raw, aggressive sound • Signature distortions and dark drops • Pushing Techno boundaries Dada Life’s label, “Crash & Smile,” is all about pushing the limits of EDM, never sticking to just one style and always delivering fresh, unexpected sounds. Alex Mueller & Kaoru‘s latest track, “Techno Drug,” fits right in, bringing a new twist
• The whistle is the king of the track • Blended with Revealed’s essence • Frenetic and energetic as usual If you listen to the drop of “Remedy,” it’s quite funny at first. It’s a whistle, like the one lifeguards use. Then, if you give the track a few seconds, the bassline kicks in, adding
• Natural feeling, very underground vibe • Didn’t notice Lucas & Steve • Top-notch vocal and atmosphere For this review, I must apologize for my ignorance on the matter, since I’m not a player of the game Zenless Zone Zero. I see that its studio, MiHoYo, has gathered impressive results with its HoYoverse series of
• The vocal is overwhelming • Something’s missing in the drop • Solid structure, loved the second breakdown It’s great to see Wiwek back on Rave Culture. As one of the most intriguing figures in the EDM scene, Wiwek initially gained fame with Jungle Terror, a genre he pioneered. In recent years, he’s shifted towards
• Modern lead, veering towards Piano House • Powerful vocal performance • Captivating melody with a Progressive twist I’m thrilled to discuss this pop piece on Revealed Radar, a label that, ironically, had slipped off my personal radar. Their focus on releasing hundreds of songs didn’t help, and I lost track of their catalog. They
• Rework of the Nomad (and Bingo Players) hit • Not-so-predictable approach • Homage to 10 years of career “Devotion” marks a significant milestone in KSHMR‘s illustrious career as he celebrates 10 years of the project. Teaming up with 22Bullets, the duo delivers yet another stellar performance, showcasing their collective genius and creativity. The choice
• Melodic Techno meets Tropical House • Original vocal loses some charm • Stunning job with the percussions It’s intriguing to witness, five years later, the transformation of Axwell Λ Ingrosso‘s “More Than You Know” into a completely different vibe—a more laidback interpretation courtesy of Mount Rouge’s unique blend of Melodic Techno and Tropical House.
