Review: Frontliner – The Summer Of Frontliner (3/14) (2014)

Audio

Frontliner & Kristina Antuna - Galaxies Collide (Original Mix)

Frontliner has released a three songs of his new project titled, “The Summer of Frontliner”, which, as you can imagine, is a good addition to a summer playlist. The most enjoyable songs on Fronliner’s new EP were, “Galaxies Collide” and “TBA 2” which is currently #2 on Hardstyle.Com’s top tracks. The melody on “TBA 2” is borderline memorizing, interrupted only by the drop with the hard hitting kicks that Hardstyle is known for. What I enjoyed the most about “Galaxies Collide” was how the instrumental and the vocals came together, especially on the build ups.

Q-Dance Releases Their Cinematic “X-Qlusive Legends” Trailer

Instead of typical slow-motion compilations of girls with flags on people’s shoulders, Q-Dance has taken a different approach with their trailer for X-Qlusive Legends event.

The trailer features Headhunterz, Brennan Heart and many other Hardstyle super-stars that will be part of the line up at X-Qlusive Legends, an event held in Amsterdam this October.

4th of October 2014 – Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam.

Blasterjaxx and D-Block & S-te-Fan Working On A Track

Dblock S te fan Blasterjaxx

Both duos shared photos of themselves in studio working on a collaborative track. It is speculated that a 128-130 BPM Hardstyle, or ‘House-style’, tune will be created but, nothing yet has been confirmed.

On the fan side, feelings are a bit mixed. Some fans welcome the collaborative effort while others bash it and bash it hard. Hardstyle is growing at a fast rate since it’s introduction to the ‘EDM Scene’ in the United States creating collaborative tracks like Krewella and Headhunterz and Coone on Dim Mak Records. Hopefully as this trend continues to grow Hardstyle doesn’t lose too much of it’s identity to Big Room-like fads — it would be a tragedy to lose those hard hitting kicks man.

Tempo’s Latest Track “Desperte” Aimed At Cosculluela & Tito El Bambino

Audio

Tempo - Desperte

Artillery Music is back with some great beats this time with recently released Puerto Rican rapper, Tempo. The Latin Hip Hop track produced by Artillery’s Nely “El Arma Secreta” takes aim at another Puerto Rican artist, Tito El Bambino, where Tempo refers to him by name. In addition to Tito, Tempo takes aim at Cosculluela, mocking his flow in a part of the song.

The flow was kind of forced by Tempo to fit the instrumental but, overall the song isn’t half bad. Although the song was good, something was missing — maybe a featuring by someone?

Charli XCX Releases An ASTR Remix of “Boom Clap”

Audio

Charli Xcx Boom Clap ASTR Remix

Charli XCX, whose voice you’ve probably heard at least once or twice on the radio every hour, has released a remix of her single, “Boom Clap”, which is currently in the top 40 of Billboard’s “Hot 100” The remix was produced by ASTR, a New York City based producer who has worked with Big KRIT, Neon Trees and other notable artists in the past.

“Boom Clap” on iTunes featured on “The Fault in Our Stars” Movie Soundtrack

MUSIC VIDEO – “Boom Clap”

ASTR brings his unique style while still keeping some elements from the original song to the remix which combine with Charli XCX’s vocals quite well. Although this remix would technically fall under Twerk / Trap (taking advantage of the name I guess), the way the mellow melody and Charli’s vocals come together you wouldn’t realize it’s a trap remix until you hear the high hat rolls and Lex Luger climax lasers.

Still no word on when the remix will be released but, you can stream it below today!

E-Lusive & Skeets – Roll Out [Hardstyle / Trap / Freebie]

Audio

E Lusive Roll Out

E-Lusive and Skeets roll out with their new single, “Roll Out”, a Hardstyle track straight out the trap house! What I really enjoyed about the song is that, besides being a free download, the Hardstyle kick isn’t watered down or crappy — its actually quite nice. The trap section reminds me a lot of Baauer’s early trap style and blends in well with the Hardstyle drops too.

“Roll Out” is a great track for those who need a high energy song in their music library or that extra push at the gym. Download it today!

Review: Moska – Duma EP (2014)

Audio

Moska Brazil

Moska was not shy on merging various genres into single tracks with this EP. From Moombahton to Big Room and even a little Bounce and Tech house elements this three track EP is jam packed full of genres. What I really enjoyed about the EP was how Moska went about merging all these styles without it feeling ‘boxed’, everything just flowed so well you won’t even notice when those hips will begin to move.

Buy exclusively on Beatport

My personal favorite was the track for which the EP is named, “Duma” Although at times it does have a Big Room house sound, Moska didn’t over do it. The melody was like listening to 8-bit Punta or similar Afro-Latin tropical sounds — it’s a great merge of Electronic and Tropical Latin sounds. Moska really took advantage of his Colombian background on this track. If you don’t want to buy the whole EP, I would recommend “Duma” as a must have.

Tough Love Release Their Upbeat Deep House Track “Dreams”

Audio

Tough Love 'Dreams' artwork (low res)

London based producers, Tough Love, have come out with their latest single, “Dreams” The upbeat Deep House tune is a perfect Summer release; great vibes and a melody that you can dance on the beach to.

If upbeat Deep House isn’t your thing and want something more laid back and chill, Audiowhores have remixed the single to suit your needs. Out of the three remixes that form part of the release, my favorite has to be Amtrac’s remix with a faster paced funky melody that puts it over the top.

The single and the remixes are currently available on Beatport and will be up on iTunes later this month on July 21, 2014.
