Album Review: You Don’t Stop by Block & Crown
Alright, let’s talk about You Don’t Stop by Block & Crown. Released in 2018 on the Rawtone Black label, this Dutch duo came through with a house banger that still slaps. If you’re into electronic music—specifically that deep, driving house vibe—you’ll wanna give this one a spin. It’s got energy, groove, and just enough edge to keep things fresh.
The title track, You Don’t Stop! (Club Mix), is where it’s at for me. This tune grabs you from the first beat and doesn’t let go. The bassline? Ridiculous. It’s the kind of thing that makes your chest vibrate if you’ve got good speakers. What sticks out though is how smooth they keep it—no over-the-top drops or cheesy effects. Just solid, dancefloor-ready house music that feels like it could’ve been made in the '90s but somehow sounds totally modern. You can tell these guys know their stuff.
Another standout is Track Name Goes Here (because I don’t have all the details, lol). But seriously, whatever else is on here complements the vibe perfectly. There’s this moment around the halfway mark where the synths swell up and just... hit different. Like, you’re not sure whether to close your eyes and soak it in or lose your mind on the dance floor. That balance is what makes this album so replayable.
Block & Crown nailed something special with You Don’t Stop. It’s not trying too hard to be cool; it just is. And honestly, isn’t that what house music should feel like? A little raw, a lotta soul, and impossible not to move to. Shoutout to the Netherlands for keeping the scene alive!
Random thought: Listening to this album feels like finding an old vinyl record in a dusty shop and realizing it’s exactly what you needed—even if you didn’t know it yet.
