'Opening 2022 by adding new talent to their roster, Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Anaqram to the label for their debut EP. Hailing from Russia, the Anaqram duo has achieved measurable success since first emerging in 2020 with a trio of releases via Ruben de Ronde's Statement! imprint. It proved to be an auspicious debut for Moscow residents Anton and Maxim, who had conceptualized the project just a year prior. The duo cast traditional genre blueprints aside and were quickly recognized for a sound that carried the melody and emotion of progressive house, along with the groove-centric rhythms of tech-house and techno. Two years on and Anaqram now finds themselves with an impressive resume, highlighted by releases for Anjunabeats, Freegrant Music, Mango Alley, Songspire and UV, while electronic music icon's Above and Beyond, Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta and Miss Monique continue to champion their sound. Continuing that upward trajectory as 2022 begins, Anaquam presents their much-anticipated Replug debut entitled 'Conjunction'.

Getting the release underway and sitting as one of Anaqram's most heady productions to date is the title selection 'Conjunction'. Warm beats and a full, rolling groove set the foundation for a narrative of whimsical arps, uniquely tailored percussion and shimmering overlays. Pushing a poignant mood into the break; the duo marries ghostly vocals, warm bass swells and placid pads across the expansive interlude, building emotion with each successive pass as melodies open up, before eventually giving way to a thumping drop and key changing finale.

Rounding out the release are the pulsating grooves and intoxicating atmospheres of 'No Matter'. Mysterious and uplifting throughout, it's a collage of wavy rhythms and fuzzy stabs which captivate leading into the break. Charming vocal phrases and delicate arps further the story as the centrepiece unfolds, bringing with them hopeful moods and transcendent vibes, before a breezy drop puts your senses on high for an emotive conclusion. 

Operating at the peak of their creative powers, Anaqram continues to impress with their Replug debut 'Conjunction'. A two-track showcase which sets the course for what promises to be another stellar year for the Russian duo.'

Remixer: DJ Samer 
Artist: Hall North
Tittle: Guarana
Label: Pangea Recordings
Catalog: PANG128
Release date: 30 November 2023

...........................................................................................................................……........…...…...………...….........……...............

Pangea's last release of the year comes courtesy of the UK's Hall North.  His distinctive musical style has gained the attention of some of the best the scene has to offer, such as Lee Softley (Blue Amazon) and Krafted's Paul Sawyer. Hall North's musical style can be described as versatile and rhythmic. He also doesn't like to stay pigeonholed in one style or genre. ‘Guarana' is an example of just that, showcasing Hall North's more melodic techno and proggish side. A track pulsating with rhythm and energy, ‘Guarana' is the right play for any DJ with a peak late-night crowd.

On remix duty is label boss DJ Samer and Seth Vogt. DJ Samer, fresh off a release for Australia's Vapour Recordings, turns in a chunky and vibrant rendition of the Original he called his ‘Ode to Simon's Cub' Remix, held together by a memorable bass line and one-of-a-kind breakdown designed to shake the walls off any venue (including Simon's)!  Seth Vogt also brings the progressive energy with another remix well worthy of the Pangea name

Tagträumerei shifts the EP into a brighter, more flowing phase. Hypnotic synths and airy textures float above a confident rhythmic drive, giving the track a sense of orbiting movement. Faster and more propulsive than the opener, it embodies the balance of dreamlike atmosphere and assured momentum, at the same time creating a sense of forward motion without losing its ethereal quality.

With the excellent Lost & Found imprint from Guy J, you know you are always assured of quality goodness, and this time Stereo Underground makes his debut on the label. His recent productions have graced Sudbeat, Plattenbank and Crossfrontier Audio, gaining a large fan base of clubbers and DJ's alike.

'Northern Lights' is a beautiful warm vibed gem, that oozes quality and coolness, as subtle layers merge effortless, as intricate melodies float over washes of warm, underpinned by a subby bass that adds depth.

'Glacier Meadows' continues the dreamy story, as this restrained and sophisticated first half of the tracks lulls you in, before a filthy kick in with growly bass and emotional melodies will take the roof off. Don't say we didn't warm you!

LF038 Stereo Underground - Glacier Meadows Preview

Andrea Cassino is an artist with a rich musical heritage to his name. With a long and distinguished career in the underground music industry, he has consistently shone brightly under a number of production soubriquets. Now making his solo Proton Music debut, we are proud to welcome Andrea Cassino to the label with his outstanding, "Divine" EP.

With his then production partner, Cassino and Laben found themselves at the vanguard of a burgeoning progressive house scene in the mid 2000s. Regulars on Baroque, Tilth and Proton Music, the "Don't Be Afraid" full-length album for the latter was high-tide watermark of downtempo quality. Furthermore, Particles also played a significant part in the career development of the Cassino sound with the duo hitting the heights via a wealth of original material from 2009-2011, supported by the likes of Sasha, Markus Schulz and Hernan Cattaneo.

Finding his own musical path, Andrea Cassino then launched a highly successful solo career that has seen him become a notable contributor to the likes of Soundteller, Balkan Connection and Lowbit. Fired by a desire to see his music founded more upon the "techno and tech-house" genres, Cassino saw support for his releases from such celebrated quarters as John Digweed, Nick Warren and Nic Fanciulli.

Forming a partnership with fellow Italian, Danny Lloyd, Cassino has once again found success in a collaborative approach to his craft. Thus, under the Nocturna pseudonym, the duo has seen their original music find favour with Balkan Connection, while the "Big Bang" EP for Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat in June 2014, was yet another notable highlight in the Andrea Cassino production portfolio. November 2016's "Pigmental" EP signalled another highpoint for the Nocturna name as remixes from Rick Pier O'Neil and Desatuate and GMJ followed, with Andrea Cassino now making his long-awaited solo debut for Proton Music with the twin track, "Divine".

The title track is a wonderfully constructed slice of melodic mastery as a strong beat and clicking percussive groove lay the foundations for a delicately evolving piece to revel in reverb and delay-drenched effects. A wonderful bass line progression emerges in the second movement that then sees a sublime lead line, rich in counterpoint melody, find its mark in an evocative breakdown, before joining forces with its rhythmic partner in the third movement climax. The resultant track is a "Divine" and classy affair.

"Charlotte" continues the clicking, popping percussive variants of "Divine", while a sumptuous blend of chord progressions emerges through thickly textured pads and rippling arpeggio lines. A warm and sustained bass rises and falls with consummate ease in the lower frequency range as a stripped back breakdown provides a pause for aural reflection in a moment of contemplation, before the dynamic rhythmic foundations once again anchor proceedings.

A pair of original tracks from the multi-talented and multi-faceted, Andrea Cassino, are simply "Divine".
