excellent track to detonate the dance floor¡¡¡

Breaking the mould with another EP of high-quality original material, blended with a pair of outstanding remixes, Particles welcomes back K Nass to the label after success at the start of the year. Reprising that success, "Oedipus Complex" is now joined by a trio of original tracks as "Praiano" takes centre stage.

Part of Egypt's growing dance scene, a classically trained pianist saw K Nass with a strong musical background. Inspired by legends of the underground dance fraternity, Sasha, Digweed and Cattaneo became the template for K Nass to delve into the production arena. Quickly establishing a reputation, success followed with material for such leading imprints as Balkan Connection, Electronic Tree and Superordinate Music. Opener, "Sensory Deprivation" shines with its glittering arpeggio sequence that builds effortlessly, backed by strong beat and offbeat hi-hats. A loquacious vocal sample adds to the intrigue and slightly sinister air while the aptly named "Praiano", delights with its beautifully sculpted beats, carved from the musical rock face. In tandem, shimmering melodies glitter like sunlight off azure waves on the Amalfi Coast as, building hypnotically, counterpoint melodies emerge in a wonderful aural collage. "Patagonia" continues the sublime melodic themes of its predecessors, immediately placing a unique aural stamp on K Nass' work. Steeped in layers of melodic intrigue a languid groove and subtle vocal cut add to the track to create a sultry and breathless offering.

Argentinean DJ and producer, Matias Chilano, has grown steadily in stature and renown after an early introduction to electronic music production. An accomplished musician, a 2008 debut for LuPS Records has been followed by a host of production material that has seen more than a triple century of credits pass through Chilano's fingers for Balkan Connection, Soundteller and Mistique Music. A renowned DJ with appearances alongside John Graham, Jimmy Van M and Nick Warren, it is an honour to welcome Matias Chilano to the label with a debut remix. Working his customary magic, his remix of K Nass takes, "Sensory Deprivation" down a stunning new path that ripples with seething menace as a dominant kick and offbeat percussive cadence provide the hypnotic vehicle for a host of melodic components and swirling, delayed effects to drift airily across the mid and upper frequency range to perfectly juxtapose the oppressive beats and bass below.

The iconic figures of Pacco and Rudy B, have been writing music together for a decade. With a distinctive style that has drawn support from all quarters of the underground dance community including Eelke Kleijn, Henry Saiz and Ricky Ryan, the Croatian duo have continued to find success with a distinctive sound that has found its way onto A Must Have, Superordinate Music and Balkan Connection. Finding a home on Particles, classic tracks that include the timeless "Coral Castle", are testament to the duo's outstanding talent and craft. Returning, the Pacco and Rudy B remix of "Praiano" excites with its carefully constructed groove that echoes the melodic themes of the K Nass original while taking the track in an entirely different direction. A head-shaking percussive cadence creates dancefloor joy as layers of additional production material that build into the third movement with a new melodic variation, make the remix another standout work in the Pacco and Rudy B portfolio.

Lighting up the underground coastline with its glittering sonic architecture, "Praiano" sees K Nass at a spectacular landmark.

Praiano

Sensory Deprivation (Matias Chilano Remix)

An EP with its origins in the island nation of Sri Lanka, "Yavapai / Horus" brings together a trio of outstanding talents. Combining across two distinctive tracks, Dimuth K, A-JAY (SL) and Shannon Davin create a collaborative masterpiece.

From the Colombo capital, Dimuth Karunaratne has beguiled the underground dance fraternity through his Dimuth K contraction. Involved in music throughout his life, Dimuth quickly became a sought-after DJ, "transfixing crowds with his groovy, progressive house sets". Moving into the production arena with his unique style, Dimuth K quickly found his work reaching the catalogues of the finest underground imprints after a debut for Big Toys Production in mid-2015. Going on to feature on the likes of Balkan Connection, Movement Recordings and Max Graham's "Cycles 8" in January 2017, Dimuth K continues to strike a chord with support from Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Gai Barone.

An accomplished DJ with performances alongside such notable figures as Jeremy Olander and Above and Beyond, A-JAY has been a regular across the clubs of his Colombo home city with his tech and deep house infused music. A production career has brought similar success after 2015's "The Monks Haunted" debut for Egothermia. Further work for Patent Skillz, Suffused Music and Occultech have continued to find the Sri Lankan in much demand in both the live and production arenas. Another early adopter of electronic music, Shannon Davin's early dreams blossomed into realisation when he found techno. Founder of the 'Reverb Underground Movement' which created a DJ collective of young artists developing entertainment for young audiences, Davin's production career finds him with almost a century of production credits. Patent Skillz, Lethal Dose and Mistique Music have all featured the Sri Lankan's work since June 2015's collaboration with Eightfold on Diamond Blu and January 2018's "Hildr" EP on Plazma Records showcasing highly impressive production credentials.

Returning to Particles after remixes of Simply City and Tim Penner, "Yavapai" is Dimuth K's first original material for the label. Teaming up with A-JAY, the track is characterised by a strong, rolling groove filled with percussive intricacy. Building impressively, a swathe of incongruous melodic lines twist and turn together in stuttered and freeform glory. Through a coruscating array of rhythm and melody, "Yavapai" is a study in technique and innovation. 

Partnering with Shannon Davin on "Horus", Dimuth K continues with a strong rhythmic groove on "Horus" as a huge analogue bassline fills the lower frequency range in raw sine wave power. Introducing melodic components in the second movement, delayed chords criss-cross the stereo spectrum in hypnotic glory while a chorus of sixteenth shakers and off-beat hats supply dancefloor urgency in a track that evolves intelligently over its near nine-minute voyage.

Sri Lankan underground dance talent is in full evidence as Dimuth K, A-JAY (SL) and Shannon Davin provide a golden sunlit touch with "Yavapai / Horus".

It's time to introduce a brand new artist to you, as this isn't only his Magnitude Recordings debut, it's his first ever official release. Please give a warm welcome to Buenos Aires based artist Maezbi, the latest to emerge from the ever delivering Argentinian progressive house talent pool.

When Francesco Pico heard his demo he didn't have any doubt, he wanted to sign Maezbi to his label right away! And the result is the double A-sider you've got in front of you right now, including the songs Pangea and Panthalassa.

Rolling and funky but smooth and dreamy at the same time, these songs tick all the boxes and we're pretty sure these will be gathering a lot of support from the progressive house community.

What a release by this debutant, and let's all hope this is only the beginning for him!

In 2019, Serendeep catapulted to progressive house stardom. Hernan Cattaneo, Tripswitch and Roger Martinez provided seals of approval through remixes and live support. The Sri Lankan label nears its one-year anniversary with renewed vigor! Mixmag called Anton MAKe “one of the most worthy adherents” to Russia’s original sound. Based in Kazan, he now debuts alongside a local neighbor and friend. As half of Road Work Ahead, Hatewax brings minimal/deep tech vibes to “The First History of Man.” Its final mix, “Piligrims,” seamlessly blends thunderous lows, intricate rhythms and cosmic nuances.

The First History of Man

Premiere: Anton MAKe & Hatewax - Piligrims [Serendeep]

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Gux Jimenez back to the label for a new EP. Upon making his label debut in February of 2019 with a remix of Moveme's ‘Traumtanz', the Colombian artist then went on to release his first artist EP for Clubsonica in March. The year yielded many other successes, with outings for Balkan Connection, Droid9, Juicebox Music, Soundteller Records and UV being the most notable. Now presenting his first project of 2020, the Cartagena resident returns to Clubsonica with ‘El Inicio | El Fin' alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente, Juan Pablo Torrez & Dabeat and Giovanny Aparicio.

Beginning with ‘El Inicio', Gux sets the tone of the EP with a storyboard of pulsating grooves and euphoric motifs. Anchored by a warm, redolent foundation and waves of fragmented melodies, it's an evolving atmospheric narrative which first captures your imagination. Haunting vocal choirs and trance inducing arps add perfectly to its exhilarating nature, before eventually melting down into a charming break and perfectly setting up an energetic finale. The companion piece ‘El Fin' follows suit with charged beats, rolling rhythms and joyous melodic concepts. Built around a series of tantalizing, trance inspired arps, the first act is well fashioned for peak time play. Stripping down into the main break, poignant chord changes add further fuel to its emotive core, before an unabashedly epic build sends the energy into overdrive.

The first interpretation of ‘El Fin' is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente, Juan Pablo Torrez & Dabeat. Operating from the heart of Colombia's electronic music scene, this trio of artists have collectively showcased their music on Nick Warren's Hope Recordings, Beatfreak, Parquet Recordings and UV. Beloved as their country's foremost progressive music talents, Kamilo, Juan and Dabeat now unite for a special collaborative remix of ‘El Fin'. Fluid and groovy in equal measure, its perfectly contoured foundation moves with a powerful yet buoyant drive. Fresh design qualities make for a commanding rhythm core, while pensive atmospheres add anticipatory vibes leading into the break. Processed vocals and striking tones make for a hugely impactful centrepiece, as mind bending modulation fully saturates your senses leading into a classy drop and ominous finale.

Rounding out the release and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘El Fin' is Giovanny Aparicio. Having made his Clubsonica debut in December of 2019 with a remix of Jan Dalvik's 'Mahat', the Colombian artist also released several well received collaborations with fellow countryman Kamilo Sanclemente earlier in the year. Now making a welcome return to Clubsonica, Giovanny provides a stunning rendition of ‘El Fin'. The groove gets reworked with great warmth and flow, while a complement of clattering drums, hypnotic arps and misty effects fill in the framework. Musically less pronounced, the Cali resident opts for a meditative yet powerful approach, building tension subtly across the main break though timely modulation, before smoothly segueing into a purring finale.

It caps off another impressive collection of music from Clubsonica and a welcome return to the label for one of Colombia's fastest rising stars Gux Jimenez.
