Nick Warren - This is Love

Ezequiel Arias returns to the label with three amazing originals. 

Widely regarded as 'the future of progressive house', Cordoba's primary musical export continues to impress on the world stage with a string of releases on luminary labels including Anjunadeep and Replug. With events now in full swing again, gigs in North and South America prove he's lost none of his creativity and showmanship behind the decks. We look forward to what he'll do next with baited breath. 

Opening with 'Magic Fields' a tough rubbery groove gathers pace with claps, percussion and melodic layers organically flowing into the mix. Shimmering FX and grubby bass notes add style and grit in equal measures. Airy pads around the midpoint give a cinematic feel alongside the keys and off-kilter sonics that sound like bouncing balls before the beat hits and were back on solid ground. 'Far Above The World' continues apace with a tribal groove that quickly mutates with off-beat bass into a driving gem of epic proportions. Finally, 'Arcadia' completes the triptych with another melodic masterclass. Growing slowly over the opening section, icy keys and powerful low end grunt combine for a growling, musically diverse mindset stomper.

Clubsonica Records rounds out a successful year by unveiling the second edition of their Sampler Series. The Colombian imprint's popular MMW and ADE Various Artists releases have become an annual highlight for progressive music aficionados. Operating under a similar ethos, Clubsonica's Sampler Series made its debut last year to resounding praise from fans and tastemakers alike. Spread across five tracks the label showcased music from trending newcomers like Ric Niels alongside long-standing veterans such as Solid Sessions. Now, presenting the much anticipated second edition of the series, Clubsonica features new music from (in order of appearance) Alex Daf and Stas Underhill, Franco Camiolo, Kamilo Sanclemente, KAZKO and Vicissu and Satya-Loka.

Selection one is Alex Daf and Stas Underhill. Aimed squarely at a peak hour dance floor, the duo marries trance-inducing rhythms and striking percussion with punchy beats and rolling grooves. An array of effervescent effects steals the air across the first act, sweeping in and out of the stereo-field as heartfelt melodies add texture and emotion leading into the main break. Rising modulation continues to elevate mood as arps open up and the interlude builds to a colourful symphony of sound, before giving way to warm bass swells and a tension filled build, as the groove drops for a charged finale.

The second selection welcomes Franco Camiolo. Plush beats, pulsating bass tones and rolling percussion set the piece in motion, as clustered motifs and effervescent effects encase the framework. Soaring overlays and whimsical arps further the narrative as the first act evolves, adding depth and emotion leading into the main break. Melting down to a gentle sonic sizzle, the interlude rebuilds itself as percolating arps play off timely effects, as modulation reaches a tasteful apex and the groove re-engages for a melodic final act.

Selection three is longstanding Clubsonica artist Kamilo Sanclemente who returns with the charmed sounds of 'Fable'. Prolific and consistent in equal measure, Kamilo has earned the praise of genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while showcasing his music via Anjunadeep, The Soundgarden, Replug and more. Although beloved for his progressive creations, Kamilo reaches into his organic repertoire for what is sure to be a daytime dancefloor delight. Developing in waves, dusty percussion and warm atmospheric phrasing blanket buoyant beats and chunky grooves before an expansive break shifts the narrative further into emotive territory. Shapeshifting vocals and fragmented textures unite across the one-minute centrepiece, bringing with them a childlike exuberance, before eventually giving way to a playfully melodic finale.

Selection four is Sri Lankan artist KAZKO. Enticing from the start, its organic lean proves irresistible, as low-slung grooves anchor impassioned overlays and charming musicality. Layers of exotic percussion are blanketed with hopeful pads, calming effects and fragmented vocals. Emotion peaks as the main break unfolds, with a strummy lead and chanting vocals uniting for goosebump worthy moments, eventually getting washed away as the dulcet groove returns for an elegant finale.

The release concludes with Vicissu and Satya-Loka. Smooth and fluid throughout, the duo's sleek designs are inviting and hopeful, tactfully merging for a momentous end of the night mood, as commanding beats and key changing grooves keep things firmly on the dance floor. Vicissu's vocals ring out in timeless suspension across the main break, bringing with them colour, texture and emotion, gently building anticipation onwards to a glowing apex and purring final movement. Tastefully epic, it rounds out a must have second edition of Clubsonica's Sampler Series, one where a unique amalgamation of artists touch on organic, progressive and melodic house trends.

Argentinian star dub.format makes his debut with a sparkling EP. 

Known for his lengthy sets as a DJ first and foremost, dub.format has built a solid career over the last ten years from his homebase of Mar del Plata becoming resident at one of the worlds best beach club (Mute) in 2020. His productions are regularly found in the boxes of everyone from Solomun to Hot Since 82 due to signings for Time Has Changed, The Purr and Particles. 

Opening with 'Fallen in Acid' chuggy beats and acidic undertones power forward from the off. Hypnotic and groovy, the vibe is late night and deliberate. As the acid begins to flourish midway all hell breaks loose! 'Melted' opens in similar style with bubbling acid and upbeat percussive drums. Vocal adlibs add depth to the story as the acid ebbs and flows.
