Tuneboy – La Musica Del Futuro/100% Tuneboy

Tuneboy a.k.a. Antonio Dona is a true legend in the hardstyle scene. If you’re a fan of him at Facebook, you would’ve noticed that he’s been very busy with his music and keeping everyone up to date about it. That’s why I’ve decided to take the time out to review two of his latest productions.

Digital Punk & MC Jeff - Can't Be Stopped/Keep It Bouncing (The R3belz Remix)

It has been a while since I’ve done a review but I couldn’t resist writing about the newest release from Digital Punk entitled “Can’t Be Stopped E.P.”. This release is a 2-tracker, the first track is from Digital Punk together with MC Jeff, and the second track is a remix of their older track “Keep It Bouncing”, by Leonardo Toni aka The R3belz.

Review Qore 3.0 2-CD

Artists and DJs like The Outside Agency, Mindustries, Counterfeit, Tymon and Ophidian (and a few more) have always had their own style of producing. You can try guessing how records by these guys might sound, but it’s always a surprise until the actual release date. Their style is not your ordinary ‘cup of hardcore tea’, but rather a combination of Mainstream, Industrial, IDM, Breakcore, Dubstep and Drum and Bass. Read the full review here.

Tha Playah - On the Edge

Jim Hermsen is a man with many faces. He started out as a young and promising producer with a questionable repertoire of tracks like “Weird Clit”, “Keep Them Titties Jumping” and “Fuck the Titties”. Should we take this guy seriously? Is he going to stay? A one-day sensation or an, as of yet, unrevealed genius? In time his tracks became better and better.

DJ Thera vs Geck - O - Help Help

We all know that each music style has certain rules to fit in its specific style or substyle. It doesn't matter if you are listening to hardstyle, trance, techno or even classical or country; each style of music has his own limitations and common grounds in sound. Of course nobody is obligated to comply with those rules, but then you are just making another style of music right?

The Pitcher - Ain't Nobody / Kick It To The Bone

The Pitcher is a name that's got a tight stronghold on the scene. Michel Pollen, the producer behind The Pitcher can probably be called the modern day Mozart of Hard Dance music. Although we don't see The Pitcher (DJ) perform at too many large gigs (who knows why?) the tracks that flow out of the studio are top notch, which makes my choice for this review very simple.

Tatanka - Afrika E.P

Tatanka. Named after the sturdy Bison, it's a name well given to this Italian "Bison" who, like the beast is very quiet, but when he makes an entrance, he does it with great, almost unstoppable force. That's exactly what Tatanka has done with his new E.P - Afrika.

Noisecontrollers - Stella Nova

Today Noisecontrollers have released the 10th track on the Digital:Age label. As far as I know, this will be the last track in the weekly release marathon and I'm not quite sure on their release schedule, so we'll need to see what the near future brings.I have to be bluntly honest as I force this through my lips, but this is the first time I've heard "Stella Nova" so I guess that's a good way to start a review.

Noisecontrollers - Big Bang

Last week, Pavelow (half of the Noisecontrollers) treated us to something different, something which, in my opinion, is great to chill out to. Dubstyle, in the form of "Beautiful and Rich". I could appreciate this change, as it's something fresh and there aren't many (or maybe not at all) Dubstyle releases. However, after all these funky tracks being released at Digital:Age, I guess I needed my dose of good ol' Hardstyle.

Psyko Punkz – Bassboom EP [DWX-034]

“We make the beats that go boom papi!” This track is very popular and a great one. The vocals from Starkillers – Discotheka are used. The mid has a flowing drive in it because of the vocals and phat kicks. The break is good, but not very special, although I like the way they bring in the melody. The most distinctive part of this track are the vocals. The climax is decent, but not very special in my opinion, but I like the way they bring in the second climax, the second melody doesn’t really appeal to me. But overall this track is very nice.
