► Release Info:

Micheal and Levan and Stiven Rivic return once more to homebase for an exciting new release with remix support from Circulation and Noel Sanger. The trio set up Kunai back in 2013 as a place to release their own productions with some their close friends. A safe space of collaboration and creativity away from the cut and thrust of the industry, and their latest release 'Never' is a prime example. In original form, its elegant lines and uplifting vibe is the kind of track that saw them take the progressive house scene by storm landing them signings on Balance, JOOF and Mistique Music. Soaring pads and emotive adlibs abound on 'Never' which twinkles with delicate arps and squelchy sonics. On remix duties, a revitalised Circulation hit the ground running in 2021 after a short hiatus, quickly breaking new ground with releases on Bedrock, Selador and their own Recurculate. Here they darken the mood with a deep reese-led vibe that figuratively hugs the edge of the dance floor, while celebrated artist Noel Sanger adds his unique deep trance flavour to 'Never' taking it into warm up territory.

TAU proudly welcomes Sam Shure to our planet of musical wonder and discovery. The Berliner has been making waves since 2016, carrying on his family lineage by taking up music (his father is a renowned Egyptian jazz musician). Over the past seven years, Sam’s upwards trajectory has been buoyed by his natural talent and ability to weave organic sounds from a variety of sources into his productions. As a DJ and a producer, he embodies a worldly approach, utilizing a myriad of sounds from around the globe to bring a distinctly human element to his compositions. The Deviated EP is Sam’s introduction to the TAU fraternity and it’s a stunning entrance from the Berliner…

The title track kicks off this four-tracker with a menacing, though pensive vibe. A combination of jaunty digital elements and a vicious riff gives the track balance. Before we know it, there’s a haunting, string-led breakdown, which gives us a little breather before we return to the ominous atmosphere.

‘Frontal’ is next, rolling out with a more pumping, tribal rhythm. Vocal clips and sounds are joined by the familiar funk of a ‘wah wah’ guitar,
creating an effortless groove. Sam’s technical ability and musicality really comes through with the short breakdown and gnarly second half, with a superb switch up.

After that it’s ‘Maybe’, which features more of Sam’s exemplary drum programming. A soulful female vocal pops in and out of the background to give us a serenade. As the track progresses, it becomes more energized, an urgent riff drops in, and the vocals gain more prominence. By the time we enter the second half, the vibes are high and there’s unbridled dancing…

Lastly, ‘See Yourself’ takes it back to those primal, tribal elements with the beats going to work from the very beginning. A dense low end rumbles away, and a vocal clip appears intermittently to add dynamism to this cut. In typical style for Sam, this one progresses in a mesmerizing manner. As he adds new layers of melody and harmony to the cut, the tension increases, and we’re locked into its groove.

Mia Mendi return to their melodic roots for another strong two-tracker on Watergate Records. 
 
The Manchester duo have been in plum form, previously enjoying credits on the Oberbaumbrücke imprint with the excellent ‘Ubi’ EP with Thomas Gandey and last year’s ‘Robosynapse’ outing, which saw them explore nostalgic-tinged soundscapes including nu wave, synth pop and cosmic house.  
 
‘Enter Machina’ sees them coming full circle to craft a pair of sleek melodic gems. The title track is a gutsy rollercoaster that swings between dreamy soundscapes and full-bodied psy-laced progressive with loads of builds and drops along the way. A thrilling cut. ‘Distant Present’ doesn’t let up the spicey intent. A stunning composition that touches on tech, psy, prog and vocal-led electronica that’s made for big moments.

Mia Mendi - Distant Present

Techbrainers is a brand new project formed by Sculptor, who you might remember from his two previous release on Magnitude Recordings, and his brother. With 'Valhalla EP' they release their debut.

The EP kicks off with the title track, a deep intelligent and intense progressive house cut, whilst on the flip side you'll find 'Mushroomseating', an infectious funky and playful track. The final track is titled 'Revolt' and is the deepest of the three, perfect for building up the night.

A superb debut for Techbrainers, a new name to watch!

► Release Info:

Celebrating its 50th release, Balance Music sees the return of Danny Bonnici to the label alongside German production wizard, Sanoi, where the duo showcase their 'Infinite Horizons' EP. As a successful engineer and producer over a 25 year period, Danny Bonnici has consistently dined at dance music's top table with a feast of delicious offerings, and now, he joins forces with the talented New Zealand based artist Sanoi for the first time as a collaborative pairing. Danny Bonnici & Sanoi perfectly illustrate their combined skill and craft on 'Infinite Horizons'. Anchored by a chest thumping kick, and head shaking hi hat percussion, a huge growling bassline supplies low end aplenty for a gloriously twisted and distorted motif to evolve into an immaculately cadenced dancefloor centrepiece. Metronomic in execution, the mid point breakdown provides the perfect opportunity for the central phrase to shine before an influx of counterpoint and complementary motifs create vibrancy. Hitting its stride again courtesy of a fizzing shaker pattern, 'Infinite Horizons' bristles with potent dancefloor intent. The second track, 'Reflections Of The Other Side' revels in wondrous muted synth phrasing in the early movements. Freeform analogue sequences coruscate in swirling patterns to create a spine tingling melody that is enhanced by a mirrored bassline pattern. Through a stripped back breakdown, redolent in swirling delays and melodic intensity, the track picks up the pace again on the other side with resplendent rhythmic intensity. Also mixed in Dolby Atmos, the Danny Bonnici & Sanoi's immaculate production skills are given a sonic treatment that must be heard to be believed. Melodies fire overhead enveloping the listener in a tapestry of sound that entwines percussive elements and a chorus of effected sounds in stratified layers that are so sharply defined that they become precision instruments in the hands of aural engineers at the height of their powers.
