Armed with their accessible and cheerful form of Future House, Raven & Kreyn just arrived at their next stop: ‘You & I’ on Hexagon Records. This duo became known in the scene partly because of their collab with Blasterjaxx in 2020, but mainly because of their enormous workflow. You’ll be amazed by the number of tracks they released. Apparently, it’s really easy to work with the two Frenchmen. The collabs with Dante Klein, Laidback Luke & Robert Falcon show that the sound of Raven & Kreyn suits a lot of different other sounds. ‘You & I’ is something we haven’t heard from them before. We like it a lot! We hear that they worked on the track with great care. On critical moments, the producers show an astonishing sense of momentum. A lot of details got strengthened and the guitar chords come along fluently. You can’t ignore the somewhat too loud kickdrum in the drop, but that delivers an even greater danceability!

Secret Spade – Towards The Skyline EP
Electronic music duo Marcus & Johann, better known as Secret Spade, just released an outstanding EP called ‘Towards The Skyline’. Besides the tracks which have been released already a while ago, they put a dope revamp of their track 2016 track ‘Gallows’ into the EP. Solid work by team Spade!
With ‘Towards The Skyline’, Secret Spade shows that they found a steady sound to build their reputations with. Their fine, timed tracks contain a remarkable, late-night vibe that gives you the right wake-up call. In a few tracks, we think there’s a clear breakdown of chapters. Like the chapters are telling their part of a story. The connection between EP title, artwork, and sounds is sensible by hearing and seeing. What’s also special, is that an old track called ‘Gallows’ (2016) has been recreated. This demonstrates a high measure of self-reflection and the desire to take things to the next level.
