Album: Horizons Artist: Bag Raiders Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Electronica, #Synthpop, #SunshinePop Label: Modular Recordings Pty Limited Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Description: One of the things that I love the most about the music industry, is its unpredictability. From the listeners’ perspective, this unpredictability might come in the form of an artist or band, experimenting with a style that may seem strange, but very lovable. From the artists’ perspective, this unpredictabi

Album: Deleter Artist: Holy Fuck Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Electronica, #NoiseRock, #ElectroIndustrial Label: Holy EF Music Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Description: When it comes to separating the elements of dance music and electronic music, the line that divides them is not always easy to detect. It seems like from one angle, the line may seem straight; but from another angle, it seems like both genres intertwine. Sometimes, a dance track may incorporate the eccentric sounds of

Album: Places People Artist: Ross Henry Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #IDM, #experimental, #ambient Label: Irene Feleo Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Description: When most people think about electronic music, they probably picture a DJ laying down some hardcore beats atop of an overwhelming bass line. While this is the most popular sound, there is a sub-genere of dance music called intelligent dance music (IDM) that focuses more on calming people down instead of getting them to dance. S

Album: From The Back (Single) Artist: Pat Lok Genre: #Electronic Sub-Genres: #Dance #RPM Label: Kitsune Musique Non-Airable Tracks: N/A Description: I’m normally not exposed to most club music but hearing Pat Lok’s recent single: “From the Back”. However in my personal opinion, I thought this was a good dance mix that you could play at a lounge or bar. This single will make you want to get down with the bass groove. Listening to this makes me think more about MSTRKRFT’s “Boun

Album: Atlantic Oscillations – Single Artist: Quantic Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Funky #house Label: Tru Thoughts Records Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Description: Over the past few years, it seemed like funk was making a small comeback. Calvin Harris’ 2017 album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 helped initiate this revival with the hit singles, “Slide” and “Feels.” Two years later, however, it seems that funk’s resurrection has hit another speed bump as hip-hop continues to dominate the c

Album: Atlantic Oscillations (SINGLE) Artist: Quantic Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Dance #Electronic Label: Tru Thoughts Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Description: This is the song to play at a hip beach club. It has summer vibes and is very happy overall. It is a good song to dance to, and is for a crowd who are looking for a less traditional EDM song to party to. The violins and orchestral sounds make it more unique, but those elements actually made me like the song more as it was a

Album: Flying By Candlelight (ft. Marty Longstaff) Artist: Above & Beyond Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Vocal #Trance Label: Ajunabeats Non-Airable Tracks: None Description: For those of you know don’t follow EDM, Above & Beyond is among the upper echelon of talent in the world.

EP: Free Your Soul (3 tracks) ARTIST: AC- Slater GENRE: #Basshouse SUB GENRE: #EDM, #house #RPM LABEL: Night Bass NON- AIRABLE TRACKS: IFU Description: There are a total of 3 tracks on AC-Slater’s EP, Free Your Soul. I enjoyed this EP alot. However, all of the tracks sound very similar. There are a lot of good drops. If you are into the hard bass drops this EP is for you. The EP makes you want to head bang, and shuffle. It is very energetic so I would not suggest playing this

Album: 3 Singles (1. Hear From You, 2. Stand By, 3. Over There) Artist: Branko Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Electropop Label: Enchufada Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Description: 3 singles, all recommend! 1.

Album: Get Well – Single Artist: Donna Missal Genre: #RPM Sub-genre: #Downbeat Label: UMG Recordings, Inc. Non-Airable Tracks: NONE In a perfect world, everyone would have someone to express their love to on Valentine’s Day. However, we don’t live in a perfect world, and unfortunately, some of us do end up alone on Valentine’s Day. The interesting thing is, although we may feel alone, we have to remember that there are thousands of other people like us who are going through t

Album: Into Clouds Artist: Luttrell Genre: #RPM Sub-genre: #Trance, #dreamhouse Label: Anjunadeep Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Back in 2011, the alternative dance trio The M Machine formed. They went on to release their debut album, Metropolis, which was split into two EPs. The EPs received wide acclaim and attention, with both reaching the #1 overall spot on Beatport. In 2015, Andy Coenen left the group to pursue his own interests, but he still produces music under the moniker,

Album: Fall For You Artist: Futosé Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #FutureHouse, #DeepHouse Label: DeeVu Records Non-Airable Tracks: Description: I think both versions of the song are good, however, I prefer listening to the extended mix because I like hearing the lyrics of the song. The radio mix would be good to play if you want to play a minute shorter track, however, it seems too rushed for leisurely listening–it would probably do better at a club or a be nice track to create a c

Album: Crashing (feat. Bahari) – Single Artist: Illenium Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #MelodicBass Label: Astralwerks; Nick Miller, under exclusive license to UMG Recordings, Inc. Non-Airable Tracks: N/A Description: This review will at best be biased towards Illenium. Through personal agony, his music has helped me push through the difficulties of life. Many others feel the same way, and the connection he makes with emotions is the reason Illenium has risen to the top of EDM, clo

Album: Carried Away – Single Artist: Manatee Commune Genre: #RPM Sub-genre: #Dancepop Label: Bastard Jazz Recordings Non-Airable Tracks: NONE Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good dance-pop song every now and then. However, since hip-hop songs are still dominating the charts and very few EDM artists can score a hit nowadays, I think it’s time to admit that the dance-pop era is coming to an end. Since most dance-pop songs fall back on cutesy lyrics about finding love or experienc

Album: A Moment Apart (Deluxe Edition) Artist: ODESZA Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: Chill #Trap, #Electronic #EDM Label: Foreign Family Collective Non-Airable Tracks: 11. Divide (feat. Kelsey Bulkin) Description: In 2017, ODESZA broke out of isolation, tweeting a short compilation video of fans asking for another album before fading out to a single date. The EDM community blew up. No one had heard from these guys in over two years and now something special was about to happen. On S

Album: “Dead and Gone” (Single) Artist: DRAMA Genre: #RPM Sub-Genres: #Synthpop, #altpop, #RnB Label: Drama Music Non-Airable Tracks: N/A Description: This song is the kind of track that needs to be played as you drive into the sunset with your windows down. The humming bass progression that provides the foundation of the song gives it a constant forward motion, and the soft, yet powerful, vocals create a calm, introspective mood. The chorus lyrics are a bit repetitive, but t
