William Black x Baby Blue - Monster [Music Review]

August 20, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM
“William Black hails from Orange County and the So Cal native is joined here by Baby Blue to give us a theatrical and magical Future Bass track that builds and soars with artful precision. ‘Monster’ is the kind of track that you can dance to or simply close your eyes and feel as your reflect on your own life.”

    TSKI x Donna Tella - Give It To You [Music Review]

    August 08, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, Pop
    “TSKI teams up with Donna Tella on this Future Bass track with definite Pop sensibilities. The vocal side soars and carries the track forward ont he wings of the Pop performance, but the musical beat and build offers its own surprises and the drops certainly pay off in a satisfying way.”

      William Black x Fairlane x AMIDY - Nightmare [Music Review]

      June 13, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM
      “William Black teams up with Fairlane and AMIDY to give us all a ‘Nightmare.’ But don’t worry this one won’t leave you with cold sweats or a bad night’s sleep. This Future Bass track will instead get you on the floor moving your body and relating to the foreboding lyrical build as your prepare for that next drop and breakdown.”

        yetep - Hate It When It's You (feat. Trella) [Music Review]

        May 30, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM
        “yetep enlists the help of Trella to deliver this Future Bass track and the pairing is perfect as the two side compliment each other perfectly to create a smooth groove.

        ’Hate It When It’s You’ is a track that you can hold tight to your partner and move as one to, or that you can sit alone and reflect about life and love. Either way you will feel this one as much as hear it. ”

          Rating: 3.5 out of 5

          “xoxodubstep unleashes a Future Bass love song with ‘I Will.’ The track has a big soaring theatrical vibe and would be great as the backdrop of a movie montage scene, but it also works as an emotional standalone track. Perfect for dedicating to the one you love, or getting in your feels out on the dance floor this track is deeply commercial and should find audiences across several gernes. ”

            Luci - Loner [Music Review]

            November 05, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM, Electro Pop, Dance, Pop

            Rating: 3.0 out of 5

            “Luci began her career as a an EDM producer and that influence is clear on this track, though the vocal side certainly has Pop sensibilities.

            ’Loner’ is an emotive and vulnerable track in its best moments, though for me the harder drops and production that turned toward a Future Bass/EDM style got in the way of the emotions at times.

            For me this track shined the brightest with Luci’s emotive delivery and less production behind it clouding the song. ”

              Dead Rose - Losing Oxygen (ft. Stella Smyth) [Music Review]

              October 31, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Dance, Future Bass, Pop, Trap

              Rating: 2.5 out of 5

              “This track is a classic example of so many submission we receive here at LA on Lock. There is clear and obvious vocal talent, and even the arrangement has musical potential, the overall track lacks a clean production and build.

              From a few pauses and skips that at least felt unintentional, to the mix, which left the vocals feeling too distant at times this track just didn’t quite realize its full potential for me. And yet, I can tell the artistry and talent it is simply a matter of getting it all put together in a tidier package.”

                “SABAI teams up with Linney to bring this track to life. ‘Are You Happy Now’ is a Future Bass track with clear Pop influence.

                The lingering ghosts of past relationships can haunt us all and it is normal to sometimes wonder where they are now and if they are happy. I suppose what we want for that other person all depends how things ended but this track does a great job of allowing us to feel both sides of a complex array of emotions. ”

                  ’Metamorphosis’ was inspired by their collective experiences in abusive relationships and the track captures the emotions well for the genre without sacrificing the energy and builds you’d expect from a Future Bass offering such as this.”

                    The buzz effect did grow stale for me at times, but the vocal tone and engaging lyrical build overcame that for me.

                              “With a theatrical build and a slow vocal build, ‘Ritual’ is the combined effort of Parisian duo Adrien & Thibault who are known together as Digitalz. The track unfolds like a well written Electro Pop story with the music and production conveying as much emotion as the lyrics and vocal performance. ”

                                “Rick Miller drops a new single, ‘Atmosphere’ which is the kind of track that simply feels right for the moment. The big Future Bass production offers hope and encouragement in for what many is a dark time. The build and progression offer reassurance without resorting to any sort of cheap gimmicks, just a steady determination that mirrors what we all need right now.”

                                  Maple St. - Rockstar (Remix by CakeKnife) [Review]

                                  “I am not familiar with the original mix, though when I heard Cakeknife’s remix of Male St.’s ‘Rockstar,’ I was instantly captivated.

                                  The energy and build of the track is perfectly matched to the emotional thread of the lyrics. The vocal performance also delivers an emotive gut punch that hits you hard and overwhelmingly. This is a good song brought further to life by an engaging production.”

                                    “An emotional break up song with well-produced melody and beat. The vocals here are soft and tender, and truly bring out the power of the words. With one foot in the world of EDM, and another in the more commercial vibe of Pop music, ‘Love Always Ends in Goodbye’ is a track that will resonate across multiple genres to engage listeners with a sharp distinct sound.”

                                      Mia Vaile - Chasing California [Review]

                                      “California has long been associated with the idea of chasing Golden Dreams, but for anyone eager to take that leap, there comes an underlying fear of failure.

                                      Mia Vaile captures that trepidation with her dark and gritty track, ‘Chasing California.’ The vocal performance is haunting and beautiful, and a touch sorrowful, while the beat and production qualities of the track bring out the emotion with build perfectly instep with Indie Electronic genre. ”

                                        “This track is a Future Bass love letter written to a distant lover. An ode to the longing inspired by a long-distance relationship, the track brings an emotional resonance. The beat and melody are soft for the most part, with enough build to make the track interesting and engaging. The production, lyrics, and vocal performance compliment each other to create a seamless, emotional thread.”
