The Mad Game are an electronic two-piece whose song “Funny” is pleasing electronic music listeners worldwide. The duo is still in the early stages of their career, and it’s always exciting to hear a track from a band on the verge of something big.

The song’s title suggests that the track is amusing. It is indeed! But not in the form of criticism, considering that the pair appear to have sought this reaction. Furthermore, the noises are frequently humorous, but a serious demeanour emanates from the music, making it an exciting delight for new listeners.

It begins with a gripping beat rhythm and a strangely throbbing synth drop. It has lost its high frequency and now emits a pleasant glow that is difficult to resist. In addition, a female vocal lead appears in the opening stanza, paving the way for the rest of the song.

The Mad Game cleverly incorporate their own vocals into the mix, which blend well with the primary female lead. Furthermore, the melodies flawlessly complement the beat of the music, resulting in an earworm that you will have a hard time getting out of your head once it ends. The music develops in excitement as well, and just when you think it’s going one way, it reroutes and creates a massive instrumental bridge that would shake speakers at even the most prominent festivals.

German-based Roberto Bates is back, and he sounds as potent as ever with his new EDM release ‘Fire Walk With Me’.

The track features vocalist VIOLA, and between them, they smash through the industry noise with vigour. The flow is captivating with a soundscape that grips like a bikers mitt. It finds influence from 80’s gems, but it does not sound like a replica of anything which has come before.

Soaked in ethereal synth hooks, ‘Fire Walk With Me’ drives with passion. Also, the vocal from VIOLA is inspirational.

Zipten is becoming one of my favourite electronic producers. I have been following his journey throughout 2020, and as the year comes to an end, I have to say, Zipten has evolved and grown massively. His talent keeps on giving and his new release ‘Midnight Walk’ is an early Christmas gift.

Kicking off, Zipten takes us to another world with a beat tap which stays away from the norm and a lead hook which meets a funky summer guitar rhythm. The rest is history from this point, and Zipten unleashes the goods like never before.

Zipten unleashes an instrumental gem like no other with ‘Cube Escape’. It is a track which drives forward with bite and the quality which the Milan based producer has put on display is refreshing.

Taking us on a journey from the get-go, ‘Cube Escape’ kicks off with a thumping rhythm with a beat which will knock you off your chair. A synth arrangement then rises to the top of the mix with a cinematic angle. The structure then changes entirely with a myriad of new sounds popping out left, right and centre.

As the track progresses, it becomes even more potent, and it hits the sweet spot impeccably.
