Dial P for Progressive [progressive | melodic | organic | deep | house music]

Goud (Gold) is about that magical moment when you close your eyes facing the sun, everything turns red, and then (when you open your eyes) gold comes rushing toward you.

Luke van Veen captured this familiar sensation in a poem, which eventually became the foundation for this song. When Engelbert & QuiQui heard the lyrics, they immediately recognized a connection with a track they were working on at the time.

The collaboration between Engelbert & QuiQui came together quickly after just a few messages back and forth. Not long after, they met in Engelbert's studio, where the foundation for the EP Goud was laid.

In the studio, they shared their favorite and nostalgic tracks, which sparked a shared musical vision. From that mutual inspiration, songs like Signal and Reflections were born.

Argentinian producer Hernan Cerbello makes a welcome return to Manual Music's MNL imprint with his latest release, Modulated. Featuring two warm and smooth cuts of progressive house, this release showcases Cerbello's refined touch and deep musicality.

The title track Modulated leans into a hypnotic groove, subtly evolving with intricate rhythms and a laid-back flow. On the flip side, Black Scissors brings a more melodic edge, layering harmonies with lush textures that elevate the atmosphere.

Following closely on the heels of his Save My Drive contribution to the Seasons | Spring 2025 sampler, this release further cements Cerbello's place among the genre's most tasteful and consistent voices.

Argentinian artist Sabrina Rivas returns to Magnitude Recordings, the label run by Francesco Pico under the esteemed Manual Music banner, with her latest EP Turbo Beat. After turning heads earlier this year with her remix of 'Indigo' by Yves Eaux & Azpecialguest, she now steps into the spotlight with a powerful three-track release.

The EP kicks off with the title track 'Turbo Beat,' a dark and rugged late-night progressive house bomb packed with raw drive and underground flair. Next up is 'Hypnotic Vibes,' a deeper and more introspective cut that explores the smoother, hypnotic side of progressive house while maintaining a steady groove. The release is rounded out with a remix of 'Turbo Beat' by Tirso Enriquez, who injects a dose of uplifting energy into the original, turning it into a groovy, infectious peak-time roller.

Turbo Beat is a bold and versatile release that further cements Sabrina Rivas' growing presence in the progressive house scene.

Originally featured on the Manualism XVII compilation, 'Drac Trac' by Riigs and Paul Hazendonk stood out with its unique blend of indie deep house and obscure bass guitar grooves, paying homage to the raw underground disco spirit of the late '70s.

Following a remix contest hosted on the Finishmoremusic platform, and a sneak peek with Northcat's remix on Manual's sister label MNL, the full remix EP is now here, showcasing fresh and imaginative takes on the original.

Debuting with his first ever release, Edgeways delivers a driving melodic/progressive house rework that unfolds with powerful momentum. Eko Centrik offers a standout version, layering her own written and recorded vocals for an emotional, genre-blurring journey. Joe Prang rounds out the EP with a leftfield twist, diving deep into electronica and broken beat textures.

'Drac Trac (The Remixes)' is a bold reimagining of a standout track, with each remix offering a different lens through which to experience Riigs & Paul Hazendonk's creation.
