GIFTBACK and UNA lay down some absolute rhythms on Generation Smash this month with the beastly club groover, ‘Baddest On The Block’.
 
Filled with grunting energy that, when unleashed with spill into the dancefloor, creative waves of euphoria, ‘Baddest On The Block’ is a dose of speaker damage emanating with a distinct party anthem aura! 
 
Promising electronic artist GIFTBACK has proven his talents worthy of big things with some key moments already. Having collaborated with the likes of Olly James, Kevu, ANG and SaberZ, the young producer/DJ has released on labels like Revealed and Reaching Altitude. 

His collaborator UNA is a new face on the scene. Although having worked together back in 2019 on ‘Angry Birds’ and then in 2020 on ‘Need You’, ‘Baddest On The Block’ is their first official release in over a year. Both landing on Generation Smash, ‘Baddest On The Block’ starts a new journey for two artists who have exciting careers ahead.

Beatreker, real name Li Yang, is a producer on the rise based in Shangai and Melbourne, merging future rave with melancholic, feel-good vibes that straddles genres leaning into big-room and trance sensibilities, he now returns to Generation Smash after the smash ‘Guerra’, this time with the impressive ‘Soma’!

Entering into the fold with guitar instrumentation that stirs and rouses, deeper fluctuations of synapse-snapping synths and progressive tones envelope the listener into what is next to come; hyper-fixating melodies and weight, bolshy beats that lean into big-room, main stage energy. With audio announcement-style vocals that come in in a spoken-word fashion, barley distinguishable through the haze and distortion, it’s a classy element that is executed well with its experimentation, before the high-intensity kicks back into overdrive.

'When You Hit It' is the vibrant bass house from two of the scene's most versatile Dutch producers, Vito Mendez, and Don Cartel.

The two show their adaptability stunningly on this record, blending a light-hearted drum pattern with some ear-splitting hardstyle synth work upon the drop, creating a soundscape that is as impressive as it is unique. Although Cartel was born in Colombia, the renowned selector was raised in Amsterdam, which is evident in this record. Cartel forgets his roots and joins forces with Dutch native Mendez to create an undeniably Dutch hardstyle anthem that fits any dancefloor across Amsterdam and the rest of Europe.

Vito Mendez is an upcoming Dutch producer and DJ who isn't even close to reaching the peak of his powers at the tender age of 24. Mendez started DJing in 2011 at just the age of 14 after being exposed to trance music through friends and family at a young age; skip to 2022, and Mendez is slowly but surely making his name in the illustrious yet cut-throat EDM scene. Mendez blends energetic dance music with hints of moombahton and hardstyle, manufacturing a unique and original sound. Through this sound, Mendez has played to huge crowds worldwide and worked with his mentor Sidney Samson and ‘Cannonball’ producer Justin Prime.

Don Cartel, as mentioned, has his roots in Latin America and Bogota, Colombia, to be exact; however, he was raised and still resides in the wonderful Amsterdam, which has undoubtedly affected his musical prowess. Cartel had his big break in 2018 and 2019 when he released 'Lupa' and 'Control Your Body' on Spinnin' Records. Since then, Cartel has consistently released new music, mastered his craft and worked with huge names like DJ Jean, Carnage and The Partysquad.
