• Not your typical “one in a million” track • Stunning vocal-guitar duo • Added bounce in the drop Welcome back, Rory Hope, the vocalist behind “Location Unknown” by Hogland, which we recently reviewed! This time, his enchanting vocals team up with Marc Benjamin‘s stellar beats in “One In A Million.” Released via Future House
• Heavy bassline • Snappy arrangements • Lively vocal presence After the fans desperately begged for its release (and some delays later), Mau P finally decided to let it out: “Beats From The Underground” is a low-key, adrenaline-spiking tech house; a solid first release for 2024 from the genre phenom. Securing the Bronze Spot in
• 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
• The vocal loop is amped up • Hyperpop and 2000s Trance, with a nostalgic piano • Look at how the trend’s evolving! This remix from P.A.F.F. makes me so happy— not only have I rediscovered “leavemealone” from Fred Again (a certifiable masterpiece)— but it’s a suitable case of the potential held by the “Euro
• Dark and ominous Hardcore • Screechy, upbeat, and downright bizarre • Chaotic breakbeat at the end Honestly, when I first experienced this, it downright blew my mind— it HAD to be talked about! Just A Gent and Hailure delivered something so intriguing and special that I or anyone else would probably never see it
• Gem of a final drop • Engaging vocals • Wobbling lead balancing the bass Remember “BOOM” and “BYOB“? Then you probably shouldn’t be surprised to hear that the California-based artist Sevenn has formulated another hefty Future House hit! This time, he crossed over to the Future House music label with a rather introspective result,
• Massive drop sequence à la BLK RSE • Something’s missing in the central breakdown • Kudos to the desire to innovate the sound It’s been a year since my last encounter with KAAZE and his power-packed Progressive gem of “Paradise“; here we are, with the darker facade to the Swedish moniker— one can hazard
• Insanely catchy and memorable bassline • Exciting wordplay in the rapping • Unexpected trap-drill switch-up Releasing imprints such as Magic Records and Tribal Trap, South Korean producer 4URA has established his aptitude for creating anthemic and melodic Trap productions. This time, although, 4URA has taken a different route with his sound; his infectiously addictive
• 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:
• Too short! Too short! • Loved how Kobe Mane avoided tropes and followed the original outline • Trumpets are “free to breathe” Generally, easy formulas are hard to praise especially when it comes to Phonk, where I have observed artists picking up literally everything from Beethoven to Rihanna, slapping a Phonk bassline and calling
• 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
• 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
• Explosive drops • Distinctive Bass House lead • Catchy melody, less impactful the second time The metallic, dirty lead of “Need U” has earned my admiration as the drop struck: a concentration of energetic sounds, the climax brings with energy when it explodes! This creation from the Spanish BLAK is intriguing and immediately finalized
• Short but vicious • Intense buildup • Leaves abruptly Back to Disciple Round Tables and its entertaining, fun-packed dubstep releases! This time I have a familiar name for you: Whales (also known as Sex Whales). I discovered him some years ago with “Dead To Me” (feat. Fraxo and Lox Chatterbox), still on the top
• Future Bounce à la Brooks • Solid, well-designed structure with breakdown • Less innovative, but delivers a sound performance We are back here talking about Poylow and MAD SNAX after their splendid “Drop In The Ocean“, made available again by NCS! This trio is impressing me, and now there are the polyvalent skills of
• This isn’t your typical Phonk track… • A brilliant fusion of melody and rhythm • Debut on Tribal Trap that sets the bar high When I first heard that Angemi had released a track on Tribal Trap, I was pleasantly surprised. Having made a name for himself on Smash The House and with DV&LM,
• Brutal kicks from the get-go • Familiar sounds, blended in a balanced way • Slight tweaks from the Defqon 1 version Fun fact: This collaboration between such prominent monikers in the Hardstyle scene arrived only after 15 years of their careers, but wow, the result didn’t disappoint and it was certainly engineered meticulously. Years
• Can we call it Euphoric Rawstyle • Familiar vocal and familiar melody, with a twist • Brutal kick, as expected While listening to “Outside”, I felt that the vocals shared a resemblance somewhere, and just when the first drop smashed my ears….Yep, the lyrics were indeed from Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s “Outside”! This
• Lots of different elements together • 8-bit surprise in the finale • Difficult to grasp at first, but impressive result When it comes to special collaborations, we’ve seen some incredible ones in the past, like “Pantheon” and “We Rise Together”. But “Crystal Cave” is something peculiar – it flew under our radar for a
• Big Room rendition of Darin • Excellent blend of DANÊL and JaySic • Intensity Recs and Glow Records blending their personas! Honestly, I wasn’t aware about “Step Up” By Darin, a Swedish artist that released this hit in 2005 (fun fact: produced by RedOne, who was recently involved with 2022 FIFA soundtrack). It has
