Higher States opens the summer season by showcasing new interpretations of Roger Martinez De Machtige Trip. With a career now spanning well over a decade, Roger's transcendent style has long been a favourite of the world's top DJs. Cid Inc, Eelke Kleijn, John Digweed, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Sasha have all been steadfast supporters over the years, and remain as progressive music continues to grow and evolve. Sitting prominently on Roger's resume as one of his most well-received tracks has been De Machtige Trip. Released in 2013 via GEM Records, the production was beloved for its timeless musicality and pristine techno framework, ultimately finding a place in a wide assortment of DJ sets. Now, looking to breathe new life into the track for 2023's summer season, Higher States invites Alex O'Rion and Roger himself to re-imagine the production in their own essence.

Leading the release off is Roger’s 2023 rendition which once again proves his craft must be taken to heart. Rather than burst into a dancefloor whirlwind or electronic symphony, Roger’s update evokes its emotions through slow burn repetition. Dodging expectations and emphasizing its conceptual charm, it paints idyllic scenes of solitude, as hypnagogic arps unveil a semi-conscious dreamland powered by perfectly manicured beats and rebounding rhythms, before the Dutch artist's melodic attitude reveals itself during a second act of colourful synth phrasing and mesmerizing progression.

Making a return to the label with the second and final interpretation of ‘De Machtige Trip’ is Alex O’Rion. Rising out of a successful career as a trance producer, Dutch artist Alex O’Rion took inspiration from the likes of John Digweed, Nick Warren and Sasha, to forge a path into the world of progressive house. Alex’s groovy melodic sound found its footing quickly thereafter, as he notched releases via Nick Warren’s Hope Recordings and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music. Moving forward, 2020 proved to be a breakout year for the Nijkerk resident. On the strength of projects for Replug and The Soundgarden, Alex rose to Beatport’s #3 best-selling progressive house producer, paving the way for releases via Guy J’s Lost and Found and UK behemoth Anjunabeats. Having continued on an upwards trajectory moving forward, Alex now sits comfortably amongst the genre’s elite as he continues to tour the world, delighting crowds with his impeccable taste and exquisite programming skills. Having made his Higher States debut in 2020 with ‘Imagine’, an EP co-produced with Antrim, Alex now makes a welcome return to the label with a groovy take on ‘De Machtige Trip’. While maintaining the uplifting spirit of the
original, the Dutch phenom crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, a deep hypnotic journey where voluptuous basslines provide the backbone for invigorating melodies and balmy textures to surface from their rhythmic architecture, onwards to a finale of emotive grooves and speaker-buzzing revelry.

Progressive Astronaut Review: http://progressiveastronaut.com/luis-kiverling-dia-de-mariscal-balkan-connection/

In September of 2017 the progressive house underground lost one of its brightest talents and most pleasant personalities in Luis Kiverling. The Argentinean artist and Varona label boss had a passion for music that touched everyone who came to know him. Although the majority of Luis’ unreleased tracks and remixes have been given away since his passing, Balkan Connection has chosen to honour one of his last wishes and the assemble the remixer team of his dreams for his final single ‘Dia de Mariscal’.

Luis’ infectious personality always seemed to resonant through his music and this is certainly the case with ‘Dia de Mariscal’. Bursting with positive vibes it springs to life with a deep rolling groove and playful electronics. Emotive harmonics run through the piece, conjuring up visions of a summery, care free day before eventually stripping down into its second act. The dreamy, one minute interlude keeps the rhythm locked while dulcet hooks add their own charm before a quiet calm foreshadows a heavenly finale. No doubt one of many tracks Luis will be remembered for and one the progressive community will hold close to its heart.

Luis’ love for pure, timeless progressive house is evidenced by his remixer selection of Andrea Cassino, Matias Chilano, East Cafe, Ewan Rill and Lucas Rossi. Each artist has presented some of their best ever work in honouring Luis’ life and transcendent spirit.

Todd Terje - Ragysh (Kobana 'Private' Mix) * Free Download! *

Hot on the heels of his recent groundbreaking Fabric 64 compilation, Supplement Facts bossman Guy Gerber is now ready to get "Steady" with a brand new EP and worldwide tour.

Acclaimed photographer Martin Zalba Ibáñez has been tapped to provide a new series of B&W photos for the iconic Supplement Facts covers. The first one can be seen on Gerber's first release on his own Supplement Facts label in almost two years, which sees him pairing with dOP frontman Jaw for 'Steady,' a melodic track filled with soaring synth lines, Guy's emotional bass guitar chords, and Jaw's incredibly performance featuring his trademark eerie, distorted vocals.

Rounding out the release is a beefed up Midland remix of Steady - perfect for peak time dance floor destroying. The vinyl B- side is a re-edit of the Golden Sun & the Silver Moon, a dreamy standout track off of the Fabric compilation (and Guy's alternate name for the Fabric mix itself) featuring vocals by Clarion North of Footprintz (look for their upcoming album on Visionquest soon).
