Album Review: Trippin by R3SPAWN & Mutiny
Alright, so let’s talk about Trippin, the 2019 banger from R3SPAWN and Mutiny. If you’re into bass-heavy beats that slap harder than your morning alarm, this one’s for ya. Released under Revealed Recordings (you know, the label Hardwell built), it’s got that Dutch electronic vibe but with its own twist. The album—or more like a two-track EP—features “Trippin (Radio Edit)” and “Trippin (Extended Mix).” Yeah, they didn’t go overboard with track variety here, but honestly? It works.
First up, the Radio Edit of “Trippin.” This version hits different because it’s tight and punchy, perfect if you just wanna vibe without getting lost in layers of sound. I remember spinning this while stuck in traffic once, and dude—it made bumper-to-bumper feel kinda fun. The drop? Insane. Like, proper head-nodding territory. It’s got that electro edge mixed with some serious bassline wobble, which is probs why it sticks in my brain even now.
Then there’s the Extended Mix, which feels like someone took the Radio Edit and said, “Nah, let’s stretch this out and make it wilder.” And wow, did they deliver. This version lets the synths breathe more, adding these trippy little details (pun totally intended) that sneak up on you. Around the three-minute mark, things get next-level chaotic—but in the best way possible. Feels like being inside a kaleidoscope where every color pulses to the beat. Honestly, I’ve replayed this part so many times I could probably hum it in my sleep.
What’s cool about Trippin is how simple yet effective it is. No frills, no filler tracks—just two solid tunes that do their job. Sometimes less really is more, y’know? Plus, coming from the Netherlands, you can tell R3SPAWN and Mutiny were channeling some legit club energy here. These tracks are festival-ready, hands-down.
But here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Why don’t we see more artists releasing short, sharp projects like this anymore? Like, instead of throwing 15 songs at us, give us two absolute heaters and call it a day. Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes all you need is a couple of tracks to remind you why you fell in love with music in the first place. Anyways, check out Trippin. Trust me, your speakers will thank you later.
