Sub Zero Project: 2025-2026 in three tracks
Read more . . . →Sub Zero Project has been releasing at a rate that should be illegal and somehow the quality hasn’t dropped. They’re back on the Defqon.1 mainstage this June — again — and these three tracks from the last twelve months explain why nobody’s surprised. 1. Sub Zero Project - Our World Most recent drop from Sub Zero Project and it sounds exactly like what they’ve been building toward for the last few years: full mainstage energy, production that leaves nothing on the table. Not subtle. Doesn’t need to be. 2. Sub Zero Project & Dual Damage - It Will Be OK...

Eynka feat. Låpsley - Promises
Read more . . . →Låpsley’s voice does something specific to electronic music — it cools it down by a few degrees in a way that makes the warm parts hit harder by contrast. Eynka have clearly understood this and built an entire track around it. Promises is melodic trance but it doesn’t push into the overwrought territory a lot of melodic trance tends toward. The restraint is what makes it. There’s a sense of longing running through the whole track that the production matches without overselling it. Armada puts out a lot of music and a lot of it blurs together, but this one...

Skytech & ANG - Shadows In The Night (AJSE Remix)
Read more . . . →STMPD RCRDS putting out an AJSE remix of Skytech & ANG is the kind of release that sounds more complicated than it actually is. What you get is a clean, driving house track that takes the original and gives it a harder, more purposeful edge without sacrificing the melodic core that made it worth remixing. AJSE has been putting out a lot of material lately and the consistency is genuinely impressive — this doesn’t sound like a commissioned job, it sounds like someone who actually heard something in the source and wanted to do something with it. The groove on...

Rawstyle vs euphoric: the two camps you're walking into
Read more . . . →Three weeks to Defqon.1 and if you’re new to this, hardstyle has a civil war inside it. Rawstyle is the darker, harder, more industrial side — distorted kicks, aggressive energy, not interested in making you feel things in a warm way. Euphoric is the other thing: massive melodic builds, soaring vocals, the stuff that makes people raise their hands at 3am and mean it. Defqon.1 has room for both and so does the lineup. Here’s what each side sounds like. 1. Brennan Heart - Interstellar Brennan Heart is closing the Spotlight this year — the closing set of the entire...

ryscu - BOYS
Read more . . . →ryscu dropped “BOYS” on Proximity and it’s been living in my head in a weird way — not just the hook, the whole mood of the track. The production has that hyper-polished Proximity sound you recognize immediately, but there’s something slightly off-kilter about the arrangement that stops it from becoming pure background music. It builds slower than you’d expect from a Proximity drop, which is actually a compliment — most tracks on that channel sprint straight to the payoff, this one actually earns it first. When the drop arrives it’s genuinely satisfying rather than just loud. ryscu is clearly not...

NAVARA - FALLEN ANGEL
Read more . . . →NCS releases are a coin flip — you either get something genuinely good or you get background music for a gaming montage you didn’t ask to watch. NAVARA’s “FALLEN ANGEL” is firmly in the former category. The name sounds like it should soundtrack a speedrun but the actual track has more going on than the typical NCS formula delivers. The bass hits harder than you’d expect for a free-music-YouTube drop, and the melody riding over it is dark enough to feel like it belongs somewhere more credible than that ecosystem. NAVARA has a consistent catalog on there and this is...

MADDS & Dainjaa - Chasing Bodies
Read more . . . →Dim Mak has been quietly putting out some of the better dark electronic stuff lately and MADDS & Dainjaa’s “Chasing Bodies” is a strong example of why the label’s still worth paying attention to. The title matches the energy — this track moves with a kind of purposeful aggression that somehow never tips into full chaos. There’s a tightness to the production that a lot of harder electronic doesn’t have, like every element was placed with intention rather than thrown at the wall hoping something sticks. The breakdown mid-track doesn’t overstay its welcome, and the build coming out of it...
