New Releases and Standout Tracks
In the most unanticipated of collaborations, Ukrainian duo ARTBAT have worked on “It’s Ours” along with two renowned hotshots, David Guetta and Idris Elba. The outcome is a moodier, sparse song that you can expect from the Afterlife-supported pair, although it is hard to evaluate the contributions from the bigwigs involved.
Heldeep Records has mostly featured various figures from the house music scene, but this time around, they welcomed the trance veteran Orjan Nilsen alongside up-and-coming alias Tasadi and vocalist Maria Mathea. “Hung Up [Night Version]” is a stimulating tune that verifies the Norwegian artist’s capability to take up other genres and prove his dexterity regardless.
Over the years, the evergreen gem of “Need to Feel Loved” by Reflekt has found itself remixed various times. Swedish DJ/Producer Laureano ingeniously transformed it into a deeper, melodic rework that captures the dreamy soundscape from the original.
There’s a strong contender for melodic techno tune of the year in town. The super pair of Kaskade and Deadmau5, known as Kx5, unveiled their latest record “Alive” with band The Moth And The Flame. Operating on a undulated offbeat groove and heady vocal, the pensive production slowly builds up a tempting ambiance.
The Texan DJ/producer Riot Ten is well known for breaking necks at festivals with his frenzied productions, and “Check This” with Kuhlosul is another example. The track is bound to create utter havoc with roaring synths that bark ferociously, with snappy changes and variations in the rhythm that are meticulously prepared.
