Ricey - Years
Read more . . . →Second mau5trap pick in a row because the label is just cooking right now and I refuse to apologize for it. Ricey’s Years is the more emotional cousin to the usual progressive house template, the kind of track that sounds like it was made at 4am about a specific person. The melody does this thing where it almost resolves and then slips sideways, which keeps you leaning in waiting for a landing that takes its sweet time. I’m a sucker for a lead that sounds slightly sad even when the BPM says you should be dancing. The bassline underneath is...

7 Minutes Dead - SWEET OUTSIDE
Read more . . . →7 Minutes Dead landing on mau5trap is a little funny if you remember them from the grimier corners of the internet years back, but SWEET OUTSIDE earns the deadmau5 stamp. This is progressive house with the patience the genre keeps forgetting it’s allowed to have. It builds slow. It does not panic. There’s a synth line that just keeps unfolding, adding one more layer every eight bars until you’re somewhere completely different from where you started and you can’t point to the moment it happened. That’s the whole trick with good prog house and most producers fumble it by rushing...

Gabriel & Dresden x Blake.08 - Velour
Read more . . . →Gabriel & Dresden have been making grown-up dance music since most of today’s festival headliners were in grade school, and “Velour” on Anjunadeep proves they still know exactly how to build a long, patient groove. This is progressive house in the truest sense, where the reward comes from the slow climb rather than a fireworks drop. The track lives up to its name, soft and plush, all rounded basslines and pads that wrap around you like the fabric it’s named after. Linking with Blake.08 keeps it from sounding like a nostalgia act, adding a fresher edge to the duo’s veteran...

Eelke Kleijn - Feel It, See It
Read more . . . →Eelke Kleijn operates in this beautiful space between melodic house and progressive that few people do as well, and “Feel It, See It” is a masterclass in patient, emotional dance music. The Dutch producer builds tracks like an architect, every element placed with intent, the tension accumulating slowly until the release feels genuinely earned. There’s a cinematic depth to his work that goes way beyond standard club fare, the kind of music that scores a moment rather than just filling a dancefloor. The melody here is gorgeous and slightly melancholy, the sort of thing that hits different at 3am with...

Guz & Mischa Daniels - Take Me Higher
Read more . . . →Three trance tracks from Armada in one batch — the label clearly had a productive week. Guz & Mischa Daniels’s “Take Me Higher” is the most straightforward of the three, which is not a knock. Sometimes a track that simply does the job cleanly is the most valuable thing in the pile. The melody is big without being overwrought, the drop lands with the kind of satisfying inevitability that good trance is built on, and nothing overstays its welcome. Guz has been consistent in this lane for years and Mischa Daniels brings the right energy to a collaboration that could’ve...

Dyro - The Light
Read more . . . →Dyro and Revealed Recordings is one of those pairings that makes sense on every level — the label built its reputation on big-room energy and Dyro’s been a reliable source of it for over a decade. “The Light” is not a pivot or a reinvention; it’s Dyro doing what Dyro does and doing it well. The production is crisp and loud in exactly the way Revealed tracks need to be. The melodic element riding over the main progression gives it more emotional weight than a lot of tracks in this genre bother to attempt — most big-room stuff is just...

Lamorn - Dead Internet Theory
Read more . . . →A track called “Dead Internet Theory” landing on deadmau5’s label in 2026. The joke is almost too on the nose. We’re at the point where half the internet is bots talking to other bots, and here’s a progressive house tune named after exactly that, dropped on mau5trap of all places. I went in fully expecting a wink and a shrug, a clever title slapped on a forgettable beat. Then the music actually slaps, which I did not see coming. Lamorn isn’t some random signing either. He’s a genuine deadmau5 protégé, discovered during the mau5trap Monday streams back in 2020 and...
