Borgeous - In Da Booth
Read more . . . →Borgeous is still alive and making festival bangers, which in 2026 counts as a genuine plot twist. “In Da Booth” is unapologetic big-room throwback material — the exact sound that ate EDM alive around 2014 and then got laughed straight out of the room a couple years later. Here’s the thing though: played this confidently, it still works on a lizard-brain level. A nagging vocal chant, a supersaw lead built for a hundred thousand phone lights, a kick you feel in your sternum. There’s no reinvention on offer and Borgeous clearly wants none of it; this is comfort food for...

Domeno - Where I'm From
Read more . . . →Where I’m From has a chip on its shoulder and I’m here for it. Domeno turns in a piece of festival electronic with an actual point of view — there’s a vocal running through it about roots and not forgetting where you started that could have been corny and instead comes off defiant. The production is big-room adjacent but smarter than the average main-stage banger, the drop at 1:25 leaning on a gritty, almost industrial lead instead of the usual polished supersaw. There’s a real physicality to the low end, a kick that thuds rather than clicks, and the whole...

Digital X - The Night
Read more . . . →Some tracks are built for headphones and some are built for a field at 1am, and The Night is unmistakably the second kind. Digital X delivers a widescreen piece of festival electronic that’s made to be heard through a wall of speakers with a few thousand people around you. The vocal is anthemic and slightly anonymous in the way these things always are, but the build is where the craft lives — a full ninety seconds of tension-winding before the drop at 1:35 finally lets go into a huge, euphoric lead. It’s big, and it only really makes sense at...

Tujamo x Chester Young - PYRO
Read more . . . →PYRO is exactly as subtle as its title, which today is precisely what I wanted. Tujamo builds it for the front row and nowhere else, all coiled tension in the verse and then a drop at 1:30 that detonates like the name promises. Chester Young’s vocal gives it a spine so it isn’t just a sound effect with a BPM, and that’s the part that elevates it above a hundred interchangeable festival weapons. I’ll admit big-room can feel like a solved equation at this point, every track hitting the same beats in the same order, but there’s a reason the...

Matisse & Sadko - Endless Sunrise [Extended Mix]
Read more . . . →Matisse & Sadko have been Martin Garrix’s go-to collaborators for so long that people forget they’re genuinely excellent on their own, and “Endless Sunrise” is a reminder that the Russian duo can build a progressive house cathedral without anyone holding their hand. This is the extended mix, which is the only way to actually hear what they’re doing, because the radio edit chops out exactly the patient build that makes the payoff land. The intro takes its time, layering pads and a plucked melody until you almost forget a drop is coming, and then it arrives wide and golden like...

MatricK - Can't Stop Us Now
Read more . . . →Revealed Recordings is Hardwell’s house, which usually means festival fireworks engineered to detonate at exactly the right second for the drone footage. MatricK plays that game but doesn’t sound like he’s reading the manual. Can’t Stop Us Now front-loads a vocal that should be corny and somehow isn’t, then drops into a lead that’s all teeth. I went in expecting the usual big-room paint-by-numbers and got something with actual snarl in the low end. The kick hits like it has a grudge. There’s a moment around the second drop where the whole thing tightens up and you realize he’s been...
