Alexander Popov x Paul Oakenfold - Love You Back [Review]

February 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, House, EDM

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This time Alexander Popov and Paul Oakenfold come with a slow build and emotional track that builds into an energized dance number that is hard for your body and mind to refuse. More tranquil than you might expect from the pair, ‘Love You Back’ is a definite vibe of love and dance that compels the listener to surrender to the moment just as we all have to do when love becomes inevitable. ”

    ZUSO - Melt Like Gold [Review]

    January 14, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, House, EDM

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “ZUSO captures a bit of magic with the track, ‘Melt Like Gold.’ The track has an ethereal dreamlike vibe, but instead of leaving you in a trance of disassociation the song calms and mesmerizes in a way that relaxes and keeps you engaged at the same time.

    At just over 5 minutes the song is long, but still I found myself wanting more. A mood setting track to reset your mind and body.”

      Steerner - Rush [Review]

      January 03, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, EDM

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Offering an intriguing build, ‘Rush’ from Steerner is a track that sweeps you up and in. Much like the rush of any addiction, it is hard to turn away from and that is exactly what the lyrics here are about. Be it drugs, love, or simply the thrill of a the beat on the dance floor this track is about chasing that vibe and feeling. A clean production and talented delivery brings it all home.”

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “This collaborative effort has a light airiness that swept me up and into yhe build. The vocal talent and clean production behind it are both top notch, making this is a track that simply pulled me in with its jaunty energy and infectious build.

        A single that is easy to connect to and stay with making it feel uplifting and light in all the best ways. ”

          Jenny March - SCREAM (Remix) [Review]

          September 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, EDM

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “I was leaning in on this one from the start as Jenny March delivers an emotive energy that speaks to her own passions. The build is varied and hooks you in bringing an EDM almost Disco vibe at times. Other sections of the track come with more of a Pink vibe giving it a Pop quality.

          ’SCREAM’ is a track we can all relate to not only because of the last year and a half, but simply as a result of life’s demands.”

            Paul Oakenfold - I'm In Love ft. Aloe Blacc [Review]

            July 20, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Commercial, Contemporary R&B

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Paul Oakenfold and Aloe Blacc. What could possibly go wring with such a talented pairing?

            Absolutely nothing judging by the first single to be released from Oakenfold’ upcoming album.

            ’I’m In Love’ is the first taste from the album to be titled, Shine On, and shine it does with rich textures and a smooth build and progression that epitomes the dance music sound to perfection.

            This might be the first time you are hearing the track, but it won’t be the last. Add it to your playlist early and tap in on the infectious sound whenever you like.”

              Dezabel - I Don't Wanna Wait No More! [Review]

              February 12, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in EDM, Electro Pop, Pop

              Rating: 4 out 5

              “Dezabel comes in smooth but allows anyone listening to be engaged. ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait No More’ is Electro Pop meets RnB. He speaks on how he is becoming impatient with anticipation. I like how a female’s vocals was introduced after the two mark to give a strong feeling of emotion. ”
              — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

              Swiss songwriter and producer Dezabel kicks off 2021 with his latest single 'I don't wanna wait no more'. Blending analog and electronic elements, Dezabel sets the scene for this emotive, yet hooky track. With a more than ever relevant message about friendship, the lyrics reflect a feeling that the world over can relate to. Irish singer Calvin Biasi takes the lead vocal role with his powerful and unique tone, with further layers coming from the incredibly talented American based singer Jazelle Paris making 'I don't wanna wait no more' a song that will be echoing in your head from the first listen.

                R3HAB - Ones You Miss [Review]

                December 22, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, EDM

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “As one year fades into the next, we all tend to take stock of the year that was, as well as the progression of our lives in general. After such a year as 2020, this is all the more true so R3HAB has created the very track we needed to serve as the backdrop for these thoughts.

                The musical build is subdued yet provocative enough to invoke that reflective side. Lyrically, the track does a good job of turning our minds inward.”

                  “Platinum-certified artist and producer Dillon Francis releases a remix of ‘Be Somebody’ featuring Evie Irie and it is spot on perfect. The vibe comes through in the build and progression, and is intensified with a nicely compiled video created from footage gained from the artists mom. The track is simply a vibe that works and pulls you in as you listen.”

                      In a track that brings in a wealth of styles and sounds across multiple genres, MIghty gives us a track that feels big, bold, and inventive. The fact this arrangement was able to pull off such a mix without coming across as a song trying to do too much speaks loud of the talent involved.”

                            “When you hear the name Wingman you think of someone who helps or guides others. However, Artist Wingman is full of aviation. In his new single ‘One Foot In’ he is talking about how he comes in grabbing everything he wants. The west coast rapper’s sound is a unique blend of EDM and Rap that will have you vibin to it . As he is leading a career with ‘One Foot In’ he is picking himself up from the dirt and piloting his own aircraft.”

                            Wingman is an LA-based electronic/rap artist at the intersection of big beats and daring aviation. Makes absolutely no sense, and yet makes perfect sense. Weird New Feelings, the debut album from Wingman, is an energetic coming-of-age story about becoming a flashy west coast rapper who pilots insane aircraft. I'm taking off at LAX while filming a fire music video. Who does that? Wingman does that.

                                GATTÜSO & Laidback Luke - Heart On My Sleeve feat. Sarah Reeves [Review]

                                “Offering everything you want out of a big bold dance number, ‘Heart On My Sleeve’ is guaranteed to get people out on the dance floor. Hopefully we can all return to dance floors soon and find our groove to these soaring vocals, infectious beat, and tantalizing drops. Until then, I say crank this one up and dance by yourself or with the ones you keep close, because this track is too sweet to let sit idle until the world rights itself.”

                                  “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.”

                                    “Elodie Rêverie offers a haunting, almost vulnerable tone to her vocals that draws the listener in and instills the level of connection that can come only from a strong emotional response.

                                    ’Crush’ establishes an imagery to go along with those emotions that plays out in the mind like a soundtrack for our own pasts. The EDM style production on the single gives the track enough energy to keep it above a melancholic path.

                                    This is a track you can dance to, or vibe alone while your mind travels through your own experiences.”

                                      “Dzeko and Keith Urban combine here to give this track true life. The powerhouse DJ producer and the iconic Country guitarist and star come together to give us “Both Still Young.’ The beat and progression are energetic and uplifting whereas the vocals deliver Urban’s trademark sound in a slightly different light than most of us are use to. Lyrically this is a track about the power of love that comes with a pledge to never let those embers die. ”

                                        “Inspired by the unlikely source material of Mötley Crue’s track, ‘Wild Side,’ this big bright Electro Pop single comes alive instantly with its own bit of wildness.

                                        Digrasso is a 24 year old POP/EDM music producer from Stockholm and on this track his talent shines through. ‘Make It Last’ simply feels like sunshine and energy and we all need a bit of that. ”
