Prez’s latest EDM drop Love Tonight is a globally inspired, romantically hard-wired track which fuses dance floor euphoria with the sultry soundscapes of R&B. The tentatively slow pacing of Love Tonight provides the perfect level of ambience around the hype and kick of the 800 beats as they create a solid level for Prez to lay down his vocals upon.

Vocally, the track could have been stronger but there’s no disputing whether Prez’s voice is evocatively powerful, yet, in parts the vocals were allowed to bleed into the track a little too much for you to keep full attention and keep up with the lyrics. However, with a beat so lucidly cathartic, that is hardly a crime. Love Tonight is packed with plenty of inviting harmony which has got me psyched to hear what Prez cooks up next with his inventive genre-mashing aural offerings.

Dionne Blaize may not have created anything all too prodigal with her latest single Intoxicated, instead she created something timelessly anthemic. The up and coming Soul-inspired vocalist layered her overwhelmingly resounding vocal talent over a high-vibe Dance House mix for the ultimate rapturous effect. There certainly aren’t many artists around on the scene today putting out her rare mix of Soul and euphoria which has the ability to take you right back to the nineties. It’s clear that Dionne is an artist creating music with the pure agenda of giving people soundscapes which can make them just as euphoric as the mix. Even the lyricism to Intoxicated serves to amplify the momentum behind the beat, if by the time the track fades out you don’t feel like an absolute queen, you may have to hit repeat and listen to the harsh hits and drops around one of the strongest voices in EDM I’ve heard this side of 2005.

You can check out Intoxicated as well as the other eleven tracks from Dionne Blaize’s latest album Contagious via Spotify now; it may just prove to be the most infectious Dance mix you’ve checked out this year.

I’ll admit, I wasn’t much of a fan of Kygo & Miguel’s hit single Remind Me to Forget, yet when Twalle got his deft hands on the mix to amplify it under his unique EDM styling the track was completely transformed. Twalle instilled all of the hype and dizzying drops that Remind Me to Forget clearly should have already contained in the first place. Somehow the lyrics became even more resonant after the up and coming producer riddled in plenty of smacks and snares of the 808’s over the previously down-tempo mix and the vocals were shunted up a few pitches. As for the drops, well, they can speak for themselves between the bridges which are now home to euphoric ecstasy and wouldn’t sound out of place on a crowded dancefloor.

You can check out Twalle’s remix of Remind Me to Forget along with his earlier remixes by heading over to SoundCloud now.

Keep up to date with Twalle’s latest remixes by heading over to Facebook and following the artist who definitely doesn’t deserve to remain on the underground.

Emdykay’s deubt EDM drop ‘301’ is perfect for anyone looking for a melodically fluid arrangement which has plenty of hooks and drops which collide through the otherwise ambient mid-tempo mix.
301 is the first single Emdykay has released so far, as first drops go, I’d say they don’t get much more promising.

The harsh smacks and snares of the EDM work in contrast to the synth in this digitally rendered offering of pure anthemic summer-soaked hype. How Emdykay managed to riddle that amount of breakdowns and build ups into a three minute track I’m not all too sure, but what I am sure of is that Emdykay is the ultimate testament to his talent and command over euphoric soundscapes.

There’s little room for vocals in the instrumental only beat which carries plenty enough emotion through the momentum of the progression. In short, 301 won’t fail to leave you hyped, so check out Emdykay’s latest single which dropped July 2018 on SoundCloud now and whack it where it belongs; on your EDM Dance playlists.

As someone who grew up on the music of New Order and Depeche Mode, it was practically impossible for me not to fall in love with Paul Alty’s latest EDM Dance album.

The Liverpool, UK based artist may be up and coming but his command of electronica is something that all too many mature EDM artists would die for. Vocals are rendered unnecessary in his compositions which carry so much emotion through the synthesised effect they tell you all you need to know about the motivation behind the sound. There’s a brilliant amount of resistance carried within the multi-layered beat which carries a dizzying amount of momentum. The drops may be relatively subtle in comparison to Deep House mixes, but the end result still has the same rollercoaster effect where you feel as though your stomach lining has been replaced by rocks.

The self-confessed synth geek has proven that all of the time invested pawing over synthesisers and drum machines has paid off with his ability to create tracks as momentously euphoric as the one’s contained in his latest album.
