Nutty T [UK] - Hard Dance & Hard Style
MUSIC REVIEWS
Septyme - Dear Questions [Spoontech] - Zone Top Tune - 10/10
As a lot of people know I am on the look out for new talent all the time and my god Septyme has got my attention. His new track Dear Questions is explosive and will is released courtesy of the mighty Spoontech on the Punch Patrol 2 Album.
The track takes you on a journey from past to present and flows nicely with a monsterous bassline and some great industrial style screeches, that is reminiscent of early Hardstyle tracks.
The track is filled with gated pads, big reverse bass and a fury of blistering kicks.
In the breakdown your hairs will stand on end with some really nice strings, choirs and a melody that builds into an epic climax. Which make this my TOP TUNE.
Keep an eye out for more from this great talent, my question is are you ready for Septyme?

D-Verze ft. Yuna-X - Painting Perspectives [Spoontech] - Zone Recommended
Tune - 9/10
The emotion in this track is unbelievable - and the angelic vocals makes this the total package.
The Australian label Spoontech deliver again with this hard kick stomper from D-Verze feat. Yuna-X. The track is like time itself has stopped in a dream world, with awesome atmospheric sounds, pads, big kicks and fearsome synths.
After listening to this track I instantly fell in love with the breakdown and the emotion behind it. You will definitely have the chills and when the track drops, all you can do is put your hands in the air.
This tune will be in my sets and on the Underground Sessions Radio Show for a long time.
Neko - Legend [Nutty Traxx] - Zone Rating - 9/10
Hailing from Germany, Neko brings forth his newest track Legend.
Crossing over from darkness to light this track is a solid in ya face monster that is filled with dark distorted
pitching stabs, big kicks rolls and a big vocal that gives this track some serious drive.
The breakdown hits you with some in with some reverberating battle drums - combining choirs and pads and a vocal that just makes the
track just flow absolutely brilliantly.
There is only one word to describe this track and that is legendary.

Charter - Mowgli/Evil Is Near (The Raw District 2016 Anthem) [Activa] - Zone Rating - 7/10
This two-tracker from Activa comes with two Raw Hardstyle bangers.
The first is entitled 'Mowgli' with eerie bells and pitching screeches which make this a really menacing track that can only be described as evil. The second track Evil is near has a mid intro that hits in like a machine gun, combined with growling stabs and acid laden synths. The break consists of big industrial battle drums and a maniacal vocal that is just pure darkness.
Both tracks are very gritty dark numbers that will suit any Raw Hardstyle event.

CGK - Agony [Nutty Traxx] - Zone Rating - 9/10
American born Hardstyle DJ and Producer CGK brings forth this Hardstyle bomb, that is featured on the Decade Of Darkness CD Album.
I have always been a fan of CGK and his unique production style, there is absolutely no one that does hardstyle like him and this track is definitely no exception.
The only way to describe this track is unique, deep, dark, rough Hardstyle. It starts with screaming screeches, big bellowing kicks and awesome searing synths. In the breakdown the atmosphere is like something straight out of a horror movie with a menacing vocal, spooky bells and deep drone noises that are as mad as hell. The phat detuned saw lead then kicks in and takes the track to a new level pitching up to an almighty climax. Then to finish things off brings in comes a glorious breakbeat that is just out of this world.
