    • Eccentric craftwork • Excellent breakdown atmosphere • Techy influence with the lead Together with aliases such as Will Sparks and Timmy Trumpet, Joel Fletcher is one of the most recognizable faces in the Melbourne dance scene and its bounce subgenre, which is characterized by upbeat basses and a distinct darker sound: all available in

    • Strong start with vocals • Melodic breakdown, techno drops • Robust, but predictable The festival version of techno continues to take over the mainstage spectrum, thanks to key aliases devoting their skills and branding to the genre. Hardwell did it with his rebellious changeover, and likewise with Will Sparks, trading his usual bounce trademarks

    • 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,

    • 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

    Running a show alone isn’t easy peasy: for over a year, the Weekly Roundup has continued under a single writer. That’s about to change, however, as this edition breaks that monotony. Happy to announce that we have a special guest: I will take the lead in the first half with his four selections, followed by

    • 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,

    • Gargantuan collaboration in one gigantic track • Combination of drops with two different kicks • Rave Culture advancing further with non-stop quality releases The Dutch imprint of Rave Culture have taken the scene with gusto since their rebranding. Starting with W&W delivering “Wizard Of The Beats” to the newest additions “Ibiza 7am” and “Home

    • New underground label, CLUBWRK • Evolution of Will Sparks sound, beyond Melbourne Bounce • Sampled from Ryan Riback’s hit Alright, Will Sparks is back once again. This time, he started his new label, CLUBWRK Records, and introduced his new single, “Kids These Days“. This dark hard-techno sound was actually quite a huge surprise for

    Before the insults get hurled at us, we would like to explain our progressive change of opinion towards W&W imprint, Rave Culture, in the latest months. Re-branded in 2017, the Armada sub-label initially didn’t convince us. At first, it consisted just of W&W and Maurice West releases, a problem which haunted the antecedent brand in

    • Sweet, delicate vocal sample • Hard-Psy vs. Melodic Hardstyle • Arduous challenge, yet well-schemed I’ve been frankly discontented by “Mona Lisa“, a commercial collaboration between Will Sparks and Lost Boy, and I was extremely curious about Toneshifterz’s twist on it. He’s one of the most affluent Hardstyle artists and considering that he’s working on

    • Everything fits, in a complex yet entertaining composition • Significant trio, efficient show of styles • Rework of a classic club-weapon by Sequenza No, you haven’t misread. The driving reason for a solid ninety to this is because of the fact I’m finally happy to see an essential collaboration that has been made because

    • Hypnotic “mumbled” vocal loop • Unique drop structure, Bass House bedrock with various influences • Difficult to handle at first but worth the time later! “Nu Flava” isn’t one of the generic tunes present in abundance, but a complex composition with a great personality and a pinch of mystery. Many elements used by Chris

    • Pulsating drop segments • Entrancing breakdown • Amalgamation of different styles After his spine-tingling release in the Dutch imprint of Rave Culture, the renowned Australian Producer Will Sparks has come up with yet another bumping tune, embedded with his distinctive and pulsating signature. Titled as “Egypt”, the energetic production features striking basslines and atmospheric

    77/100 • Psytrance structure with ethnic tones • Fitting vocal snippets • Predictable yet intense Among various releases this week, in this article we are going to divulge briefly about the new release from Dutch talent Maddix, who has kept his constant name on the Big Room house genre via his productions on Revealed Recordings, and the Australian

    Psy Trance and Bounce are just like pizza and beer: they fit well together. Timmy Trumpet, for example, switches between the two genres continuously. The basslines are quite similar; the structure is compatible, the wild energy emanated is comparable. However, we don’t see a high number of collaborations between Psy and Bounce artists. That’s why

    84/100 The notable Australian DJ/Producer Will Sparks has once again proved his unique and intense signature sound with an energetic rework of the notorious “Leave The Lights On” by Meiko. This remix adds a dynamic twist to the original and both the vivid vocal and the powerful electro sounds swirl together to account for an

    80\100 Will Sparks continues to show his good music shape with his last 2017 release, “Bad Connection”, out now on Maxximize! The dark song follows a similar “underground” structure of the previous Will Sparks release on Spinnin’ “What I Do”. It’s clear that the Australian star is experimenting a slightly minimalistic approach to Bounce, a

    74\100 The Australian Melbourne Bounce producer Will Sparks is back with another wonderful tune, “What I Do”! Will Sparks decided to present something more deep and introvertial than expected: forget his usual festival anthems! “What I Do” is unexpectedly calm and dark. It still keeps the Will Sparks bouncing bassline during some parts, but the

    82/100 With psy-trance dominating the EDM scene this year, we have got some impressive tracks! A prime example can be “Chakra” from W&W and Vini Vici, which we reviewed a few weeks ago. We have another imposing tune, crafted by the well-known Australian producer Will Sparks and Ben Nicky, from UK. Both the artists have a

    74\100 To eradicate any misunderstanding, I wanna say now that I love what Will Sparks produces. And this track isn’t an exception but there are some problems in “Take Me” that annoy me a bit. The intro isn’t that long, but it’s very plain and it’s way too similar to ‘Militant‘ with Tyron Hapi and
