If you’re beginning to feel the winter blues, Maximals have your antidote with their new ‘Reset’ EP. Featuring three brand new tracks, the veteran Italian duo brings a spectrum of Funky House grooves to the table that definitely don’t disappoint. The lead single “No More” opens the sonic venture with piano melodies coupled with reverberating synths, all complemented by soulful vocals that make for a groove-worthy track to sing along to. Afterward comes “So Good,” delivering deep instrumental basslines for a more underground sound, followed by the disco-influenced “You Got Me,” which provides an energetic and feel-good finale to the EP. ‘Reset’ marks Maximals’ 11th Protocol release, following “What Are You Waiting For” with Chad Kowal released on Protocol earlier this year, and “Back To You” on Showtek’s Skink.

YARO & Trilane return to Protocol with their new single “Unlove You,“ featuring Swedish singer EEVA. After opening with haunting vocals that set the stage for the track’s emotive vibe, YARO and Trilane employ their signature touches to deliver UK garage-inspired, piano-driven basslines and uplifting melodies. The result is a catchy house track with plenty of groove that is another perfect fit for Protocol. “Unlove You” follows Trilane and YARO’s previous collaboration “Way Out,” which got support from BBC Radio 1’s Party Anthems and British KISS FM. This release marks Trilane’s 12th on the label, which have included successful singles, such as “Bittersweet” with Nicky Romero himself, “I Want You To Know,” “Come Back Down” and more.

Nicky Romero’s Protocol Recordings has quickly become a renowned, taste-making imprint with a diverse roster of artists who all have one thing in common – the ability to excellently produce forward-thinking electronic music. Enter Trilane and YARO, the veteran duo and talented up-and-comer who regularly combine forces with tracks that always knock it out of the park. Trilane counts legends like Swedish House Mafia among their inspirations, the influence of which is nuanced in the larger-than-life feel of their productions. Their past releases include releases on Dirty South’s Phazing, Afrojack’s Wall Recordings, and Mirage Records, to name a few. YARO began his music career more recently, but the young prodigy is already one of the best percussionists in his native Sweden; his talent was recognized when he was just a little boy touring around Europe accompanied by the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra. He now works with artists such as Icona Pop, Benjamin Ingrosso, and many more. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for both of these talented members of the Protocol crew!

There is something exotic and extraordinarily enigmatic about this new song titled “Shiva” by Volt’R. Hailing from Lyon, France, the prolific producer used to be a member of the IMAGINE collective. Not to mention, this allowed him to perform with notable DJs in the music industry like Magda, Miguel Campbell, Catz N’ Dogz, Tiefschwarz, among others. He started creating tunes in 2010 due to his love for the Progressive House genre. Nevertheless, shortly after, he felt intrigued by Melodic Techno and House rhythms to date.

As the title suggests, “Shiva” is a great example of oriental-esque elements mixed with driving electronic beats. Certainly, this club banger also works as a powerful mantra to listen to on the dancefloor. A 9-minute cut that gives off positive energy geared toward making you enjoy the best night out.

In case you didn’t know, Volt’R has signed plenty of tracks on worldwide labels such as VFTR, Central Dogma, Sound On Sound, Dolphin Records, etc. If you think he’s already demonstrating impressive soundscapes on “Shiva,” you can’t wait to hear what’s next for party lovers. Stay tuned on his socials down here, and grab your free download.

Featuring incredible artists such as ARCTRIK, Fakdem, Maxi Vega, Rafael Cerato, and Who Else, the ‘Hush’ EP becomes the 50th release of Truesounds Music. Likewise, this Melodic House & Techno material is a testament to the label’s continued search for fresh and exciting talents. It took them 7 years to position themselves as one of the most beloved labels by DJs who work in the underground electronic scene.

Both the original and remixes distance themselves from the mainstream EDM sound. Here the production quality is hypnotic and dark as it integrates a mix of lo-fi beats and pounding rhythms. Add to this, an underlying sensuality in the vocals accompanied by a touch of mystery. All the producers behind this project weave together well-crafted tunes with a meditative yet driving late-night groove. Therefore, the ‘Hush’ EP is one of the most triumphant offerings in the genre. No doubt, Truesounds Music shows appreciation to the clubbers, bloggers, and radio stations who have supported their releases over the years with a special EP that glows with fascinating sounds to get lost in.

A-Trak and Armand Van Helden aka Duck Sauce are known for the legendary track “Barbra Streisand”. If you missed them, watch this mind-blowing music video for their new single “Mesmerize”. As a matter of fact, this is the first clip in six years. The duo has premiered this housey banger accompanied by hilarious visuals that look cheap. It includes a weird storyline that will make you laugh a lot. You can even expect different cameos from Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, Daniel Craig, and even Morgan Freeman DJing some vinyls. 😆

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, their Coachella performance was canceled. Nevertheless, I think this amazing release compensates for that type of setback. No one can deny, this dancey jam is also a masterpiece that will remind you of the crazy 90s. Without further ado, just enjoy it.
