• Textbook structure, but very entertaining
• Gorgeous melody and dynamic bassline
• Solid vocal performance with a club-ready drop
New week, time for a lightweight track to kick off with the right dose of positivity! I’ve chosen this bouncy Slap House release from German duo FR3SH TrX and O’Neal for a simple reason: it’s fun. “Dreaming of You” is a lot of fun, and sometimes, that’s all you need to set the tone for a great day (or night).
I loved how this EDM track takes off with a straightforward structure and an instantly entertaining drop. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, and that’s perfectly fine. Sometimes, all you need is a beat to dance to, and this delivers just that. The production is clean, the energy is high, and the vibe is unapologetically feel-good.
The duo specializes in this club-friendly Slap House sound, leaning almost into Melbourne Bounce territory. You might recognize them from their previous collab, “You Got Me,” which racked up a respectable 7 million streams. Clearly, the winning formula hasn’t changed, and why fix what isn’t broken? FR3SH TrX and O’Neal know their lane, and they drive it with confidence.
If I had to nitpick, “Dreaming of You” does feel a bit familiar, riding the wave of the current Slap House trend. It doesn’t stray far from the genre’s signature elements, which might make it blend into the crowd for some listeners. That said, it’s undeniably entertaining, hooking you immediately with its gorgeous melody, dynamic bassline, and a solid vocal performance. The vocals, in particular, add a layer of warmth and accessibility that elevates the track beyond just a dance floor filler.
The drop bounces, the melody works, and I had a genuinely good time listening to this one. It’s the kind of track that’ll light up your night… Something you’d expect from big names like Gabry Ponte or Timmy Trumpet, but instead, it comes from these two lesser-known yet talented artists. A lovely surprise!
