*New Digital EP* Insignia

Thomas + James are a DJ & prodution duo from Glasgow’s West End. Growing up surrounded by electronic music, they began experimenting with production apps at just 10 years young and mixing on decks by 13. Clubbing in Glasgow has nurtured, shaped and matured their sound, with the backdrop of world renowned clubs like Sub Club, The Berkeley Suite and La Cheetah where they have flourished over a year long residency.

Following an introduction by a well known native, it was obvious the duo's sound was highly aligned with Verdant Recordings, fusing deep house, dub techno and minimal grooves. For  a teenage duo, their sound is refined, seasoned and well informed.

Insignia EP drifts between hazy dub techno textures and stripped-back deep minimal house with a 'wee hours' dance floor focus. Patiently arranged tracks swell with warm low-ends, atmospheric pads and precision tuned percussion. Ulf & Ralf revise the title track in their unique and unpredictable fashion for a gentler comedown.

Gavin Griffin, better known as GMJ, has been a consistent force in the progressive community for nearly a decade. Kicking his GMJ moniker off in early 2008 through Jesse Kuch’s “Open Records” & Kasey Taylor’s “Vapour Recordings” and further through the years with appearances on “Sudbeat”, “Balkan Connection”, “Flow Vinyl”, “Particles” & “Proton Music”. His style gravitates towards the atmospheric, melodic side with a partiality towards a strong groove, and he’s clearly taken that direction with his remix of Luke Sambe’s “Becoming”. Along with taking cues from the original, he’s added his own little magic through extra vocal bits, complimenting drone & groovy basslines and atmospheric fillers, all supporting a riff that runs through the track. Goosebumps moments ensued.

Tripswitch's onedotsixtwo label continues to unveil its abundance of “proper progressive” house music with another essential package in the form of the debut artist release from rising Sri Lankan star Nishan Lee. Nishan’s remix talents were the perfect accompaniment to Sonic Union & Chris Cargo’s recent ‘Depth Charge’ (ODST0015) release, so excitement levels are super high for this one.

The package is further enhanced with an array of superb remixes courtesy of Argentinian DJ/Producer Matias Chilano, fellow Sri Lankan Subandrio, and Russia’s Anton MAKe. Holding true to the onedotsixtwo philosophy, ‘Poised For The Future’ is an impeccable addition to the label’s vital catalogue, that already features some of the most forward-thinking and well-produced proper progressive house out there.

PlattenBank Records proudly presents the long-awaited sixth part of the
bestselling edition compiled by Guy Mantzur. Secrets #6 is a wonderful
testament to innovation that expands boundaries and delivers a collection of
exclusive tracks that make up the most perfect 80-minute playlist. From the
intelligent introduction by Mariano Montori & Gespona to the ever-evolving
"Promises" by Tash the sound is continually shifting. New ideas are found on
every single second. The release has a consistent, yet rich sound contrasting
Lake Avalon’s contemporary synth stabs providing sharp attacks, inventive
motifs and dreamy pads with Antrim’s signature groove that varies from
driving bass lines to hypnotic structures. Eric Lune takes things to a whole
new level filling "The Void" with an anthemic vibe and layers of breathtaking
rhythms, but still leaving room for other artists to shine. Talking about Michael
& Levan, Stiven Rivic, Rick Pier O'Neil, Paul Deep & Nicolas Ruiz, Romrez,
LOM and Sha-ullo? Respect! But don't just take our word for it. Have a listen
yourself!

Tantum is a Karlsruhe-based producer launching his first ever release on Lost & Found, the leading label run by Guy J. 
Not everyone deserves your attention! But Tantum definitely does! There are two tracks here 'Entropy' and 'Vor Augen', clocking in at about fifteen minutes of mesmerizing passion-driven music. 
The hypnotic arpeggio sounds and percussive Afro instruments
combined for an extra portion of excitement. 
It couldn't get any better until Chicola got his hands on ‘Vor Augen', creating a grandiose remix with something of a science fiction movie soundtrack atmosphere. 
What makes this version exceptional is that it takes ‘Vor Augen' in another direction, but still keeping it recognisable at its core.
This has been a year of amazing music releases. 
We should be celebrating the abundance of creativity we’re here to
witness. 
Tantum’s new release definitely fits the bill!
