Ralvero – District [September 22 – Revealed Recordings]

by JP Hadley · September 12, 2014

The talent pool that Revealed Recordings has been able to recruit appears to be limitless. The catalog has dozens of releases, and is always able to bring the most relevant talent and sounds to the industry’s forefront. As part of the Hardwell Presents Revealed Vol. 5 compilation, the label tipped its hand and unveiled a plethora of upcoming releases, and another one is heading towards its full release. The latest tune comes in from Holland’s Ralvero, and this effort is titled “District”. We’ve been hearing this tune since EDC New York back in May, and have since heard it played in radio shows all over the planet. The wait has finally come to a conclusion, and “District” is set to drop on September 22 through Revealed Recordings.

Ralvero has worked very hard on his recent tunes to ensure that his sound stays fresh, but still clues listeners into his signature sound. His progress since tracks like “Fuck What U Heard” and “Rage”. He begins “District” with a rather mysterious and complex melodic progression using a very progressive synth. As the melody progresses onward, it builds in its sound from just simple plucks into a full-bodied rave-killing sound. The next step is the addition of a simple bassline, and then the buildup sends listeners hurdling towards the drop. A quick breakdown leads into a pounding drop, featuring a wild bass kick and perfectly executed big-room synths on top in one of Ralvero‘s best tracks to date.
