BIGGEST GENRE INFLUENCE OF 2014

This year we saw the rise of diversifying genres, though some may argue they all fall under the same umbrella, there are clear distinctions in how different genres have emerged. If 2013 was the year of progressive house, then 2014 was by far the year of the Bounce Generation. The bounce track, originating down in Melbourne, Australia, is a progression of the up-tempo horn-infused dutch stylings, with incorporation of their own raucous horns.


 If you need any example, check out one of the OGs of the genre, Will Sparks. 

A close second in this category goes to Big Room. Particularly here in the states, the rising popularity of electronic clubs and festivals has given rise to the genre - taking the melody progression from house and combining it with the energy of electro-house and trance to create emotional build-ups, followed by an energetic, melodic drop (i.e. any Spinnin' Records release). 

We expect next year to be the year of Deep House - get your vocal chords ready.
