• UKG meets dance-pop • Appealing vocal hooks • Dreamy and energetic At this point, it is well-established that Tiesto doesn’t hesitate to switch genres; not often, the Dutch icon has frequently come up with memorable tracks when transitioning between styles. “Waterslides,” his latest venture with the UK trio Rudimental and vocalist Absolutely is surprisingly
• Future rave oriented • Interesting inputs from Seth Hills • Typical features Unpredictable collaborations can turn heads— and so it did with David Guetta and Seth Hills pairing up for remixing Tiesto’s “Both” (featuring 21 Savage and BIA). An uncanny but intriguing scenario, but true to their styles, the original song got re-shaped for
• Linear and predictable • Brazilian Bass groove, big room synths • Short duration Two powerhouses in the EDM scene getting together isn’t commonplace— especially considering Tiesto and R3HAB– who have rightfully pioneered and shaped the dance music scene at its peak. So when two first-rate artists finally decide on an official collaboration, expectations are
• Great blend of Trance and Prog • Enchanting vocals and lead • Solid sound design Further setting their indelible imprint on Armin van Buuren’s endeared label, Hel:Slowed has become a favorite for many with their excellent releases in Armada Music. Consistency and quality seem to be their motto at the moment, as they introduced
• BOOM vibes in the vocal loop • Lots of details towards the end • Great showcase from Tim Hox Greatly satisfying, “The Blonde One” is a Bass House release on Spinnin’ Records that might not garner the same magnitude of success equal to past hits from Mike Williams (being a wunderkind of the Dutch
• Harsh transitions between violins and Hardstyle • Lush vocals, potential hit • Wise and experimental festival remix It’s not hard to grasp the motive behind this rework of Issey Cross, which got a brand new vocal from The Verve’s unforgettable violins at “Bitter Sweet Simphony” and a DnB bassline. I like the original, which
• Close to Bicep’s sound • Deep House elements • Appealing vocals For a while, Tiesto’s eclectic catalog has become even more dedicated towards commercial dance-pop, as his recent album “Drive” signals this move further. Breaking this pattern is his most recent release “Drifting,” which takes a different turn from the usual routine. The song
• Original vocal keeping its dynamism • Tiësto’s signature basslines, with a pinch of Progressive • Very clean and professional outcome Let’s say that this remix wasn’t easy to improve for the Dutch creator. British vocalist Allegra released a delightful Dance Pop tune last month, “Round & Round”, which alternates between a lively vocal rendition
• Back to 2014 • A fewer changes, otherwise the same • A potential club hit for this year The infamous Tiesto edits are becoming almost unbearable these days, but every week or two I wonder where exactly the Dutch star is heading towards with his style, as I can’t figure out what exactly he’s
March has initiated with plenty of music, as the festival season has started picking pace. This roundup is featuring music from this week and the last (since there wasn’t any), with tracks released by 3LAU, Alesso, Left Lucid, and more! Swedish House Mafia ft. Sting – Redlight 85/100 After a few months of keeping hush,
Last few months has presented us the opportunity to touch on multiple genres that once were rampant in the 90s, and especially in the 2000s era. For this month, I decided not to touch upon any House or Trance gem, but rather an underrated style that output many iconic songs consistently: Hardstyle/Hard Techno. If you
Before proceeding, a brief introduction of the topic feels to be placed prior further discussion regarding them. Last year was difficult for everyone, but lockdowns unveiled many artist’s creativity and helped rising acts make a name in the scene. At the time of writing this, few countries have restarted festivals (for majority, online alternative is
We have a great community of supportive readers, but perhaps even that won’t save us from some dose of hating on this article. However, transparency has been the core motifs of EDM Reviewer since day one. That being said, we want to share our thoughts without cowering from negative reactions. If there is any chance
• Co-produced by CamelPhat • Slower, hazy and nostalgic production • Sequel to “10 Seconds Before Sunrise” It is really happening, something fans have anticipated for a really long time. The lockdown has brought out the best for many artists in different ways, be it live-streaming, showing massive support and taking things to the next
In this industry, there are only few who truly nail the branding aspect. And we aren’t talking of the mundane marketing ploys (seriously, why is everyone doing giveaways recently?), but presenting an idiosyncratic image of themselves (such as our beloved Norwegian Jonas Aden), arresting audience’s attention and transforming them into their super fans! Today’s figure
It’s unbelievable that few people discussed about it, as Tiesto has just released a collaboration with 433, leaving me absolutely surprised. I’ve already discussed before how, in my opinion, the Dutch legend is slothfully capitalizing on current trends without any signs of effort, but this case is different. 433 is a citable Soccer Digital Agency,
This article may seem inequitable, as twenty tracks (or better 18, since two were already reviewed) are difficult to analyze. Musical Freedom launched their first compilation for this year, “Unlimited”, and we are here, ready to analyze this huge selection. Overall, this has been a great occasion, with many interesting twists unfolded with that typical
• Successful hit with house vibes, following the current trendy sound • Unnecessary presence of Tiesto, since it’s “co-produced” by Gorgon City • Stunning vocal performance by the reputed Becky Hills This review is arriving slightly late, as I’ve thought a lot about whether to write it or not… I usually avoid to let negative
10 years of Musical Freedom… Let’s do an example for making you understand how much time is a decade. I discovered it in 2011, with “Mush Mush” by Bassjackers (considered a classic, nowadays), and back in the days, Tiesto’s label had already gathered more experience than this blog has now! There have been sporadic dark
• Percussion driven sound • Minimal yet energetic approach • Refreshing and creative schematics Like any plebeian summer, this year has also provided us some tantalizing Dance hits from heavyweights and uprising names in the industry. However, our concern will rather be directed on a productive remix of a summer-hit, none other from the native
• Symbolic release, tribute to Avicii • Despite being excited to see Tiesto in there, I didn’t feel his presence very much • Important milestone for DJs From Mars 6 years ago, I got hit by a car while listening to “Call Me Spaceman Maybe“ (Carly Rae Jepsen vs. Hardwell). A terrible event in my life, but I
