The 5th release on Juicebox Music sees Argentina's new kid-on-the-block, Diego Azocar, making a debut on the label. Rising to fame with his hit single "Recall" in early 2013, Diego has managed to capture the attention of many DJs as well as ensure that his productions are well worth taking notice. He presents the label's first ever EP with two powerful tracks that are destined to cement his sound in the industry. 

"Homenaje", the first of the two original productions, steers itself to a more dramatic atmosphere with it's airy melancholic pads & subtle hypnotic melodies, while steadily thumping the floors with a heavy groove. The lone remix comes from 'Alex Nemec & Nik Feral', a fairly new duo, but the two have been doing some stellar work separately. Alex, known best for his earlier work as 'Alex & Filip' as well as running his stellar label - Mirabilis, has had chart topping productions on well respected labels like Tronic, Flow Vinyl & Respekt amongst many others. Nik, on the other hand, has been churning out his tough productions on the MUM UK, Cubism as well the mighty 1605. Together, their remix of "Homenaje" takes the groovier approach with quick stabby chords, futuristic synth lines & rhythmical percussions while still capturing & complimenting the original's magical atmosphere.

"Technology", the second offering from Diego, quickly establishes its melodic characteristics from get-go. A simple plucked melody, joined with a growling bassline, spaced chords stabs, airy pads drive the track forward to meet a gorgeous arpeggiated riff during the second half of the track. We give the sole remix duties to a fellow Argentinian, 'Demian Moreno', that has been making quite a name for himself through his productions on Particles, Bermudos & Balkan Connection, leading him to be charted quite frequently on many top players in the industry. Demian provides his 'Space Dub' interpretation, completely taking the original to another territory, more specifically - astral. Dreamy lullaby-like arpeggiated melodies, soaring lead synth lines and clever percussive bits aided by dashes of reverb place itself as the backbone while the deep bass & heavy kick creates a dubby groove.

DIEGO ACOZAR 'Homenaje' (Alex Nemec And Nik Feral Remix)[JUICEBOXMUSIC] lo q clip

Continuing their assault on the underground progressive house scene, with over half a century of high calibre releases, Suffused Music now turns to Bulgarian, Andrez, as he basks “In Your Afterglow” with four impressive remixes.

Born in the Sofia capital, an accomplished pianist and student of The State Academy of Music, began to establish himself as a dominant force in the city’s dance scene with appearances that would lead to inclusion to the InSound Promotions DJ agency. Production work quickly followed and almost 250 credits sitting proudly next to the Andrez name for such luminary imprints as Kansak, Enhanced and Balkan Connection South America. A deep bass vibe at its heart, the original mix pushes relentlessly forward with dynamic percussion arrangement and hypnotic, pulsating beat. Rise and falling with consummate ease, the track delivers with brooding intensity.

Former drum and bass star from the Greek capital, Athens based producer, Advent's Rising turned “360 degrees” to find a home within the progressive scene. A decade of experience on the DJ circuit within his homeland laid the foundations for a raft of releases since 2011’s debut on No Border Recordings. Over 20 production credits already for Suffused Music now sees Advent’s Rising take on Andrez with a slick reworking that combines the deep vibe of the original with additional urgency in the shape of subtle melodic variation that brings a new level of intrigue to “In Your Afterglow”.

Formerly half of the iconic pairing of Alex and Filip that dominated the underground scene with remixes of Dave Seaman, Trafik and Kassey Voorn, Alex Nemec needs little introduction to the musical cognoscenti. His work supported by the leading lights from Marco Bailey and John Digweed to Tiësto and Mark Knight, the head of the successful Mirabilis records now teams up with UK producer, Nik Feral. From his home in Manchester, Feral’s growing reputation was quickly cemented after signing to UMEK’s 1605 - MUSIC THERAPY imprint in 2011 and supported by the likes of Pig&Dan and Laurent Garnier. Thus, a plethora of credits can be found under the Mancunian’s name with a quarter of century alongside Nemec. Reworking Andrez, the duo’s remix of “In Your Afterglow”, reveals a dark hypnotic rhythm that lurks menacingly with strong house beat and cavernous bass, resonant of the original. A cleverly worked riff plays on the omnipresent darkness creating a techno driven monster.

After years spent studying the techniques and inspired by the sounds of Sasha and Digweed, Dutch producer, Jaap Ligthart, saw a passion for electronic music translated into appearances on Dutch national radio and support for his work from some of the industry’s finest names. Dave Seaman, Hernan Cattaneo and Jody Wisternoff have all featured DJ Jaap Ligthart’s work in their sets for labels such as Black Hole Recordings and Manual Music. Taking driving rhythms as a starting point that propel his work forward, Ligthart’s remix of Andrez fills “In Your Afterglow” with a clever interpretation of the melodic themes present in the original mix to create a throbbing, filtered version to keep club floors full.

Final offering comes from Australian born producer, Matter. A student of the dance floors of Melbourne and London, time spent in his studio crafting “deep synth lines, driving bass and pulsating rhythms”, has been rewarded with recognition from such imprints as Stellar Fountain Records and Balkan Connection. Making his debut on Suffused Music, a deliciously bouncing bass line provides the foundation for intricate and immaculately programmed percussive rhythms to create a tightly locked groove. Echoes of the motif so prominent in the original are then treated to extra sheen as glitch and stutter provide added dimension to create an impressive rework of Andrez.

ANDREZ - In Your Afterglow (Alex Nemec & Nik Feral Remix) [SUFFUSED]

Our Barcelona brethrin, Uwe & Scarhand's much heralded 'It Works EP' has been a continuously shining light of 2014 for us at DPR, with continued support from the likes of Andreas Henneberg / The Glitz, Tomy DeClerque, Terry Francis, Spartaque & Dandi & Ugo. To which we approached some of said supporters and asked if they'd like to do the duo justice and remix their work for them. Up stepped some amazing artists in the shape of Manchester's Nik Feral [MUM/Cubism] and Slovenian Alex Nemec [Blufin/Baptism], Sydney resident Arkadia [Baroque / Death Proof] and Dutch duo Diction [Funk'n Deep / Death Proof]!

The first of the EP is Nik Feral & Alex Nemec's remix of 'It Works', and boy does it! A brutal, low-slung production. Immaculate bass work leads the way with an undercurrent of well laid beats and distant synth stabs; theres no denying this was made for relentless lazer-enduced dancefloors.

Arkadia's dropped the tempo a huge amount on his efforts for 'It Works', punchy simplistic tech-house allows a magnificent undercurrent of synth work to flow through the track, the bass is polished and the new synth work breathes a new vision into the production allowing it's acidic tendencies to shine through. Some would say a nod to the works of Daniel Avery, what do you think?

Diction finishes off the release with a bang with their take on 'Dub Voices', a devilish slice of big room techno, shows yet another immaculate, punchy, wobbling bassline, periodically growling with a gutsy detuned and dropped vocal whilst being stabbed at with ethereal cymbals and glitches. Something to truly get that top lip riding up!

ALEX NEMEC & NIK FERAL 'Friction' (Facundo Mohrr Remix) [SOUNDS OF EARTH]

Release number 80 and label head Alex Nemec returns and delivers a special collaboration with Alexander Madness titled "Good Enough" and we called in two exceptional remixes from the ever busy Vazik and Ian Dillon, who is in top form lately!

The original is a groovy mixture of techno meets tech-house meets progressive. A crisp groove that builds slowly up layer after layer combined with the driving percussions and a potent bass line get the whole thing going properly, while the synth lines and various sweeps and pitched down vocal samples build up the tension.

Vazik add a deeper touch with softer groove, but cleverly using the potent bass line from the original and adding some warm pads and spaced out effects. the result is a hypnotic and versatile version that will appeal to a plethora of djs!

Ian Dillon cleverly chops up the main bass riff and backs it up with a razor sharp groove and adds some mad synth lines that add a proper rave-y feeling which keeps building and building to a mad effect in the second half till the main break where a gentle female chant comes in before the groove and synth lines start building up again to cause some more mayhem.

Great to have all of the artists involved on this one, we hope you get your choice & show us some love with your support!

Alex Nemec comes from the small country called Slovenia, the same little country that brought Umek, Laibach and few other biggies to the world!

Starting to play out in clubs in 1998, he is an experienced dj and most surely best know as being one half of Alex & Filip. The duo has been working together since 2005 till late 2012 and their list of originals and remixes is quite sure impressive.
In the time being they had remixed artists like Dave Seaman, Inkfish, Trafik, Kassey Voorn, Jeff Bennet, Tim Andresen, Autophase, Fiord, Subfractal, Ran Shani, Sonic Union & Bastards of Funk and Soulwerk to name a few. Their originals and remixes appeared on highly respected independent labels like Tronic, Respekt, Rekluse, Baroque, Freshin, Flow Vinyl, Lowbit, MUM, Tulipa, Inkfish, Stripped and many more!

Together they have received the support and respect from well established DJ's from all over the dance music scene including tastemakers like John Digweed, Spektre, Fergie, Dave Seaman, Joseph Capriati, Marco Bailey, Tom Hades, Tiesto, Mark Knight, Miniminds, Nick Warren, Loco & Jam, Jim Rivers, Mr. Henry Von, Eddie Halliwell, Dubfire and Tomy DeClerque to name but a few!

Due to different musical views the duo split up in late 2012 just after completing their latest remix for the greek based Movement label.

In the recent years Alex has performed in all the major clubs across Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Bulgaria and shared the decks with some of the world's finest spinners such as; Umek, Johannes Heil, Gabriel D'Or & Bordoy, Petar Dundov, Satoshi Tomiie, Desyn Masiello,Valentino Kanzyani, Adam Beyer, Scarlett Etienne, Paul Woolford, The Beginerz, Steve Porter, Cristian Varella, Technasia among others.

Alex is also the head honcho of Mirabilis Records!
The label was born in 2009 and has created a worldwide buzz in the underground scene since its very first release. Support within the industry has been well received from artists such as; hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Nick Warren, Henry Saiz, King Unique, Fergie, James Talk, Jody Wisternoff, Paolo Mojo, Oliver Moldan, Mark Knight, Funkagenda and Dave Seaman.
Mirabilis Records was truly catapulted to the stars when Sasha and Digweed dropped Ran Shani's "Classics" on the boat party at the World Music Conference!
So far the Mirabilis family includes Paolo Mojo, Ran Shani, Oliver Moldan, Miniminds, Jet Project, Tom Budden, Ian O'Donovan, Cid Inc, Fiord, Dibby Dougherty & David YoungSteve Haines, Ignas, Facundo Mohrr, Liz Cirelli & Minski, Stu Hirst, Kastis Torrau & Donatello, Sebastian Davidson, Andrea Fissore, Weepee, Cristior, Robot Needs Oil and many more talented producers from all over the globe!
This label is definitely the one to watch!

Alex decided to stay on the techno and prog route which was the sound that they pushed as Alex & Filip and best fits to his mind and musical apeal.
He is now focusing solo on studio work and with originals and remixes coming soon on Natra Viva, Da Fresh's Freshin records and MUM beside others there is definitely no stopping him!
