• Creative trap with high energy • Remarkable world building • Abundant variations Fresh off his outstanding debut EP earlier this year, WINK is back with yet another heater that will blow your mind (and your speakers!). Called “WHERE2GO”, his newest single released the prior week is all one wishes in a quality Trap song:
• Explosive lead, bassline, vocals • Capable of adding a dynamism spin! • Vibrant conditions in the buildup And we are back with some classic Progressive House, finally! Many of our readers are devoted to the genre, and we were looking for a gem to review… if you are acquainted with Intensity Recordings, you know
• Signature retro vibes on the composition • Switching between Trance and Techno • A bit short in duration Starting 2023 the independent way, Declain has proved he can transverse genres boldly without sticking to please any cut-and-dry label stipulations. This has given him a greater opportunity than ever to experiment, something the German artist
• Bad? No, just… Generic • The usual recipe • No traces of R3HAB It is distressing to give such a low score to W&W, who are doing great endeavors in the Happy Hardcore scene and running their label excellently, but I am tired of these releases always following the same formula. “Million Places” comes
• Lo-fi touches throughout • The vocals synergize with almost everything • Passionate, serene experience There’s a sense of calm and serenity while experiencing “Another Life” from JINGBY, Zach Fox, and Emma Castellino! This enticing Deep House number has been published on Afrojack’s WALL Recordings, an unusual choice considering the Dutch icon’s affection for underground
• Close to AvB’s roots • Space race themed • Unconventional kickdrum There’s a massive appeal for the underground sound more than ever: look no further from Calvin Harris, who scored two potential 2023 summer hits by devoting to the late 90s sound. There are many other similar instances, and as of latest, Armin van
• Familiar bassline and vocal loop • Different changes in schema • Glitchy Trap switch, surprising! It was about time for some experimental Phonk record to be featured on this blog, and who if not Tribal Trap coming up with such fresh ideas? The amount of quality on their releases is overwhelming, and this time
• Glitchy elements, experimental drops • Misleading title • Hypnotic aura with a mysterious allure Whales (aka Sex Whales) has returned to our blog with another smasher, made in cooperation with producer CURE97. Honestly, the title got me intrigued as I am an avid listener of “Big Room”. Don’t be fooled – this one is
• 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
• Mix of liked genres • Twists in the drop • Small but considerable variations Breathe Carolina has dived into Bass House lately, as several releases such as “WIFI” or “Sick” came out on Spinnin’. I found them a bit conventional, lacking that spark of creativity that usually gets me to review something. Things are
• Sam from Moksi joined forces with Nostalgix. • The bassline is excellent and packs a punch. • The melody gets a bit repetitive. It’s quite disheartening to learn about the split of the Bass House duo Moksi, with Diego venturing into his independent project, SUMMUM. However, there’s still excitement in the air as Sam,
• No experiments from Dimas • Repetitive melody with an energetic bass • The pair reunited after 12 years. My respect for Angger Dimas has always remained particularly because of his unconventional and particular style. Give a listen to “Phat Brahms” with DV&LM and Aoki (not the 2.0) to get an exact measure of what
• Turkish vocals working surprisingly well • Lots of experience behind the structure • Hard-hitting psy bassline It’s been a while since I heard from Faruk Sabanci, the Turkish producer with a great discography, especially the ones on his erstwhile label Metanoia Music. I distinctly remember “:)” and “Be The One” on the said imprint
• Laney with a crazy vocal show • Elegant and heart-breaking strings • Genres and ideas unified in the drop NCS has struck back again by “discovering” great talents. Well, discovering might be a bit of an exaggeration, as it’s been years since the talented Clarx has released bangers on the label, but only recently
• Spooky vocal, well balanced • More melodic bassline than expected • Out-of-the-box idea It has come to my notice that I have been quickly transitioning to Phonk during my chill-out and car-driving sessions, as this hypnotic and looping genre never ceases to fascinate me. Many Tribal Trap releases, a real industrious warehouse of Phonk
• Familiar lyrics quickly played in the first and central segments • Not that innovative • Gangsta motives featured in the Trap drop Two genre veterans are featured on this one today, with an interesting rework of Snoop Dogg and Pharrells’ “Drop It Like It’s Hot” in an underground Trap salsa! The vocalist Blvkstn has
• Spontaneous beat • Exciting vocals • Minimal yet groove-heavy Some tracks get instantly set into your mind due to their vivid and quirky nature, and “Bussin” elegantly falls into that creative niche without hesitation. Mikey Barreneche might very well have a potential viral hit in his discography now, for this release packs quite the
• 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
