• Guetta’s version wasn’t exactly a masterpiece • Missing chance to showcase their new styles • Techno kick, long buildup “Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi is one of those classics which we all are familiar with hearing in live sets often, owing to its simpler and effortlessly catchy setup that has remained timeless. Personally, the vocals
• Delicate breakdown section • Heavy and darker mood in the drop by ÜHÜ • Electro House influences in the old school lead It makes me glad to see ÜHÜ, one of the most competent talents from Controversia (Alok‘s label), receiving a well-merited team-up with the imprint owner himself. The pair has already remixed “It
• Hints of Melbourne Bounce on Techno • Typical, squeaky leads with old-school bass • A balance between the roots and trending sounds Since “Annihilate”, which left us with mixed reactions, the Australian producer has returned to Hardwell’s imprint with another Festival Techno release. Including the unusual schematics that have been popularized by Will Sparks,
TikTok is back at it again. It is abundantly clear that the social media platform is dominating in terms of trendsetting new styles of music. Think of it, and there are massive examples such as Lil Nas X, sea shanties, Slap House, and dozens of hits that erupted into virality from the short videos in
• A mix of Bounce, Hardstyle, and Techno • Brutal kickdrum and bassline • Minimalism, more than usual Being a hardcore admirer of Will Sparks, I observed his evolution in recent years with much curiosity. From a pioneering figure in the niche genre such as Melbourne Bounce, the Australian alias has explored several worlds in
Before I proceed, let’s begin with the initial thought of how I wasn’t as keen about reviewing Hardwell‘s hiatus-breaking album “REBELS NEVER DIE“. My opinion concerning his recent Festival Techno sound remains intact since the day the post-UMF article “Welcome back, Hardwell!” came out. Reiterating that here, in short, it’s simply not my cup of
• Techno twist with ‘Madox’ signature • Dirtiness that propels the energy • Huge breakdown before the final drop Following the events of reviewing a couple of Big Room productions from REOS, I remained curious as to his Techno release on Madox Records titled “SubHertz“. It’s quite the fun since I appreciated the recent Hard
• Techno-minded take on Soft Cell’s hit • A retro atmosphere to match the theme • Unexpected minimalism with fulfilling additives Declain bounds himself to experimenting with his ideal sound, this time bringing a darker Techno sound together with his trademark funky twist. Let’s be honest, “Tainted Love” adapts for the recent underground trend, without
• Lots of classic Ummet Ozcan influence • Will Sparks’ climactic twist at the end • Attention to detail toward the ambiance There was a certain time in the past that a collaboration deal struck between Will Sparks and Ummet Ozcan would have rendered me breathless… Now, after several disappointing projects from the Dutch producer
• 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
Before you irk away from reading this, here goes the disclaimer: there won’t be any spoilers for the Netflix show “Stranger Things”; far from it, we will be talking about the remixes that popped out after the fourth season began. It brought back the synth-pop classic “Running Up That Hill” from Kate Bush into charts
• 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,
• 90s Trance & Future Rave • Old-school intro, futuristic drop afterward • Simple structure brimming with energy It’s hard to describe exactly what’s catching my attention in such a hypnotic way in “The Return”; the newest and magnetic release by Mark Roma hit the jackpot with a splendid and proficient sound design! The tune
• Impressive structural changes on the drops • Emotional vocal unexpected, as per title • Top-tier sounds, in line with Rave Culture Ben Nicky wasn’t the name in the Rave Culture roster that caught my attention the most, which I must admit, since my preferences aren’t so greatly devoted to Trance… But the British producer
• A narrative opening by “Broken Mirror” • Driving/peak time techno with “Into The Unknown” • A step away from Big Room/Dirty Dutch The reappearance of one of the most beloved artists of our audience has left most of us thrilled, although, on that basis, I cannot casually lean towards any favoritism. That being said,
So, after 4 years, the beloved Dutch producer Hardwell is finally back! And with the complete package! An upcoming Album “Rebels Never Die“, a worldwide tour, this UMF liveset… And a new style. Love it or hate it, what’s sure is that Hardwell has abruptly changed his view of music, taking a different, way darker
• 50% Trance, 25% Techno, and 25% Big Room! • Robust set of percussions • Fascinating breakdown leading to a melodic drop Congratulations to Intensity Recordings on signing this high-profile release! SaberZ, with several Big Room releases on major imprints such as Rave Culture and Revealed Recordings, are very much veterans in the festival house
The twenty-fifth edition of Weekly Roundup isn’t any less crowded by stars, including names like Regard, Laidback Luke, Orjan Nilsen and many more! Armin van Buuren, Reinier Zonneveld, Roland Clark – We Can Dance Again 80/100 Trading his uplifting trance roots for peak-time techno, the Armind head-honcho paired up with leading techno act Reinier Zonneveld
• 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
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.
