Album Review: Infinity by DJ Square
Alright, let’s talk about Infinity by DJ Square. Released back in 2008 on K-Trax Digital, this UK-born electronic album is a wild ride through Happy Hardcore and Hardcore vibes. If you’re into fast beats, euphoric melodies, and that old-school rave energy, this one’s for you. It’s not perfect, but it’s got some bangers that’ll stick in your head for days.
First off, the title track, Infinity (Original Mix), is an absolute monster. I mean, how could it not be? The beat hits you right away—hard and relentless—but there’s this sugary-sweet synth line layered over it that just screams “happy hardcore.” It’s like being punched in the face by a rainbow. You can’t help but bob your head or maybe even bust out some awkward dance moves if you’re alone. What makes it memorable is how it balances chaos with melody. Like, yeah, it’s fast as hell, but it’s also kinda emotional in a weird way. Feels like running full speed toward something you can’t quite reach but loving every second of the chase.
Another standout is Neon Dreams (or whatever it’s called—I’m going off memory here). This one slows things down just a smidge compared to the rest of the album, giving you room to breathe while still keeping that high-energy vibe. The breakdowns are lush, almost dreamy, and then BAM—it slams back into this pounding rhythm that feels like your heart skipping a beat. Honestly, I think this track would’ve been huge at festivals back in the day. It’s got that “hands-in-the-air” moment that every raver lives for.
Now, not every track on Infinity hits the mark. Some feel repetitive after a while, and there are moments where you wish DJ Square had pushed the boundaries a bit more. But hey, when it works, it REALLY works. And honestly, isn’t that what good music’s all about? Those little bursts of magic that make you forget everything else?
Here’s the thing though—listening to this album now feels kinda nostalgic. Not because I was there in 2008 (I wasn’t), but because it reminds me of a time when electronic music felt raw and unapologetic. These days, so much of it feels polished to death, like they’re trying too hard to be cool. Infinity doesn’t care about being cool. It just wants to make you move—and honestly, that’s refreshing.
Oh, and random thought: I bet DJ Square has a killer vinyl collection. Just saying.
