PREMIERE Oscar Vazquez - Northwest [Droid9].mp3

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Juan Sapia back to the label for a new EP alongside Hasith who makes his label debut. Hailing from the progressive house hotbed of Argentina, Juan Sapia has been on a steady rise since first appearing in 2017. As a favourite of progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Buenos Aires resident has compiled an impressive resume, landing releases on top tier imprints such as Beat Boutique, Or Two Strangers and Sudbeat. Meanwhile, enjoying similar success is Sri Lankan talent Hasith. Now based in Oman and heading up the Serendeep imprint, Hasith has also had his music championed by Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, with releases coming courtesy of onedotsixtwo, One Of A Kind and Stellar Fountain. Having collaborated once previously on a release for Mango Alley, Juan and Hasith now build on their creative synergy with 'Masana | Embrace', alongside remixes from Sean and Dee and Mariano Favre.

Beginning with 'Masana' you get a feel for just how strong the creative synergy between these two talents is. Featuring a dark progressive minded narrative, Juan and Hasith craft a foundation of tough beats, crunchy rhythms and devilish effects. Its robust low end is full of character and shape, positively charged and perfectly playing off the duo's shapeshifting electronics. Coming to full fruition during the main break, a haze of vivid harmonics and emerging pads unite for a rousing crescendo, perfectly setting up a finale of astral synths and metallic melodies. The companion piece 'Embrace' follows suit with its ominous yet exhilarating energy. Darker undertones power the undulating groove, while esoteric effects and timely tonal shifts should make for some epic dance floor moments. Playful arps lighten the mood across the first act, playing off a wave of buoyant rhythms leading into the main break. Tense and exciting in equal measure, the centrepiece melts down to a bed of colourful textures, paving the way for a finale that is both electric and emotive.

Providing the first interpretation of 'Masana' are Sean and Dee who make their label debut. The Italian duo have impressed since forming their partnership in 2017. Key releases on Beatfreak Recordings, FSOE, ICONYC and UV have established them as one of progressive music's most talented duos. Continuing what has been a prolific 2021, Sean and Dee now make their much anticipated Clubsonica debut with a powerful rendition of 'Masana'. Taking a cue from the original while adding a melodic techno state of mind, the duo carves out a muscular groove adorned with fiery sonics and charged rhythmic themes. Sweeping effects and crunchy arps push the momentum forward, before melting down into a cavernous break. Tension filled, the centrepiece is one of many highlights, with its cinematic flair and exhilarating build ending in a trail of sonic decay and commanding re-entry.

The second and final interpretation of 'Masana' is provided by Mariano Favre. With a career that now spans well over a decade, the Argentinean artist is a veteran of his country's electronic underground. Releases on Balkan Connection, Dopamine White and Perspectives Digital highlight his short but well-kept discography. Having made his Clubsonica debut with a contribution to the label's 'ADE 2020 Sampler', Mariano now returns with a rousing rendition of 'Masana'. Engaging from the outset, warm beats and meditative pulses converge for a sultry foundation, while crisp percussion and hazy overlays bring rhythm and texture to the groove. Building an engaging narrative, the main arp and sizzling underbelly segue smoothly into the main break, where the arp percolates amidst a rising wall of noise, before a rush of drums sparks an energy bridge into an epic finale. A powerful remix from Mariano which rounds out a must have collaborative project from Juan Sapia and Hasith. Don't miss it.

003 magellanic cloud dowden remix
004 magellanic cloud controlwerk remix

Shimmering in distant skies, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way provides inspiration for Steve Slight and his "Magellanic Cloud". Rocket-fuelled percussion thrusts relentlessly onward while a filtered motif echoes across space and time. Intensity and passion are rolled into a powerful vision of the future. Iconic names from dance music's past come fully to the fore as D-Nox and Beckers coalesce in common purpose across Germany's industrial heartland. New melodies emerge in intelligent fashion from a commanding club-infused rhythm and a new "Magellanic Cloud" forms through exquisitely crafted motifs that evolve elegantly from familiar themes.

Across the Atlantic, from Toronto to Berlin, a masterclass is served courtesy of Dowden's grace and technique. A cavernous bass groove looks deep into the heart of the "Magellanic Cloud" as endless synth delays spiral across the stereo spectrum to create a new syncopated universe. A resonating force of nature echoes into the infinite distance before Polish flair rises across the UK. A fizzing, crackling surge of energy swells into a new sonic cloud that explodes with life through glittering arpeggios and raw elemental power. Rumbling bass notes and heavyweight beat inspire a new "Magellanic Cloud" to form across Controlwerk's musical galaxy.

STEVE SLIGHT Magellanic Cloud (D-Nox & Beckers Remix)

'An artist with a cast-iron reputation within the underground dance fraternity, GMJ continues to chart a stratospheric upwards trajectory with an ever-growing production portfolio. Now returning to Proton Music, the Australian star presents a pair of new tracks through his "Rise Above" EP.

A Particles and Proton Music veteran with a stellar cast of original and remix material over both labels, Gavin Griffin continues to provide the flagship imprint with a regular supply of increasingly high-quality music that saw "Sovereign Reality" and "Catharsis" released in October 2017 and May 2019. Now returning with his third solo original EP, the title track is a typically sumptuous offering that is characterised by a head-shaking groove and expertly crafted bassline that evolves imperceptibly over time. Through a panoply of white-noise effects, multi-layered pads and subtle synth phrasing, "Rise Above" reaches a rousing denouement with spine-tingling moments expertly placed throughout. Continuing the atmospheric narrative of its predecessor, "Unbound Reality" finds free-flowing melodies meandering across its 7-minute voyage alongside intermittent vocal sample. Wrapped delicately around a crisp rhythmic shell, syncopated motifs and powerful beat are the perfect juxtaposition to the unencumbered melody.'

Particles gets back to work following a short holiday break! For its next release, the label, once again, features Lucas Degiorgi. His original debut, “Journey,” consists of six new tracks. Bringing up the rear, Stranger Tourists hatch another placid remix. Their take on “Charger” gives off a distinctively melancholic vibe. Rich in ambiance, it also makes use of divine plucks, vox and flutes.

Premiere: Lucas Degiorgi - Charger (Stranger Tourists Interpretation Mix) [Particles]

Tracklist:
01. Cid Inc. - Ground Control (Original Mix)
02. Cid Inc. & Orsen - A Blessing in Disguise (Original Mix)
03. Orsen - Continuum (Original Mix)

Release Info:
The first release of 2021 sees Replug Label Managers Cid Inc. & Orsen join forces once again to release a three track EP of previously unreleased music, entitled 'Unreleased'.

After the success of their chart topping '10' collaboration, which celebrated the label's 10 year anniversary, Cid Inc. & Orsen delved into the hard drives to pull out their most sought after, unreleased tracks from the last 2 years, which had been heard and ID'd in DJ sets around the globe.

Cid Inc. starts the EP with the earth moving, acid fueled 'Ground Control'. A 303 ladened juggernaut which evolves and accumulates energy and anticipation over a meticulously produced 9 minute journey. The summit of the track is reached after a nearly 2 minute long break which twists and turns as the distorted filters and envelopes work their magic, reaching their crescendo with a thunderous re-entry which drives the track back to its core fi nale.

The second track is the long awaited follow up collaboration from Cid Inc. & Orsen entitled "A Blessing in Disguise". Leading on from 'Ground Control' it sets the mood once again, with a driving yet more subtle build, a metronomic presence and pulsating rhythmic stabs lead us to the evolution of a held back but anthemic edged melodic breakdown. Both elegant and designed in nature, it has all the hallmarks of what to expect from Cid Inc, Orsen and Replug.

Finally is the previously unreleased 'Continuum' from Orsen. With flavours of tracks of old, it is a no nonsense peak-timer, which grows in presence as the track opens up with repeating cyclical 'hoover' stabs and arpeggiators, leading to an 'old skool' infused, single melodic line just before the track heaves back in to run to its energy ladened conclusion.

Another sublime outing from both Cid Inc. & Orsen to start the year and surely to be another standout Replug release.
