LODATO - Good [Music Video Review] February 22, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial, EDM Rating: 4 out of 5 “The vocals engage early on which offers an early hook before the beat and energy ramps up and infuses the need to move in your bones. Lyrically the track intrigues, moving in and out of your soul with solid emotion and a defiant spirit. A single you can sing along with while you let the music take over and and guide you to the dance floor. ” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
Anthony Sceam - Louder (ft. ATARII) [Review] January 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Trap, EDM, Future House Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “There are a lot of tracks out there claiming to be bangers, but not a one holds an edge on ‘Louder’ when it comes to being a true banger. The team of Anthony Sceam and Atarii deliver Hip-Hop influenced vocals over the top of a thumping production that rises into a series of sick drops. This is a track to test your speakers and the energy of your party, because if this doesn’t get everyone pumped you need a new crew to hang with. Trap, EDM, Hip-Hop, Bass House. This single is truly a blend of styles and in this case Frankenstein is no monster, but rather a banging bad ass.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)

MEUTE - Rej (Âme) [Review] October 04, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “Had you told me I’d be intrigued by a German Techno marching band, I would have been dubious to say the least, but this epic track sparkles from start to finish and given it’s nearly seven minutes long, that is saying something. A little of the marching band vibe carries through, but this is a dance number plane and simple. A dance number that takes endurance and stamina, but the beat is infectious and the groove outstanding so I encourage everyone to march out of their comfort zone, and give this live recording a go.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
Venessa Michaels ft Leslyn & Outlaw The Artist - Spell On Me [Music Video Review] October 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Electronic, EDM Rating: 4 out of 5 “In contradiction to the fun pop vibe that bubbles on the surface, this track brings an underlying darkness in both the message and video. a darkness that taps into a truth, because unfortunately, what you see isn’t what you truly get in this world — not with people, products, or the motivations behind them. This single and video do a great job of exposing that fact in a fun entertaining way.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
