Staying in ‘The America’s’ for our next release, we head south, back to Buenos Aires, Argentina the South American nerve centre and heartbeat of Progressive House. 

There we are thrilled to welcome this next pair of artists to the onedotsixtwo family, Maximo Gambini & Q.A.T aka Leandro Maldonado.  These two very bright rising stars of the global progressive scene have been on fire of late with a string of remixes that have been getting regular plays on Hernan Cattaneo’s Resident show as well as his club and festival shows worldwide. This is their first original EP as a duo with both artists having had great success on labels such a Sound Avenue and One of a Kind. 

The lead track ‘Stochastic Process’ is a beautifully crafted melodic journey of sound that builds into a melancholic breakdown before the large drop, enough to make any dancefloor swing sideways. ‘One Sided Thoughts’ takes the path of a more hypnotic journey that weaves a softy gated vocal and smooth pads and effects with a whirring baseline that kicks like mule. 

On remix duties we welcome back long-time label afficionado Weird Sounding Dude who has applied his meticulous sound design to ‘Stochastic Process’ keeping true to the original whilst adding his signature sound, and Turkish artist Hakan Onuzur, who after a short musical hiatus is back in the studio, has a delivered an amazing interpretation of ‘One-Sided Thoughts’ showcasing to everyone, that he’s an artist who should be on your radar.

As Michael A continues his fruitful relationship with Proton Music, the Belarusian artist blossoms with a third instalment of his successful EP series. Adding to a raft of immaculate original tracks and powerful remixes, "Fantasy, Vol. 3" now takes centre stage.

Opening proceedings, "Spring Singing" is an aptly titled jaunt through smooth progressive house territory as a light percussive backdrop and deep kick pave the way for melodic touches to weave their way across the track in delightfully pitched variations. Building into the second half, the track hits its zenith with an effortless combination of rhythm and melody. "You Are Here" continues the intricate percussive top line arrangement of its predecessor before a rich sub-bass groove adds depth. Subtle melodic motifs wend their way at the mid-point as synth phrases shimmering in panned delays provide the perfect sonic colour. Developing, after the breakdown a scintillating dancefloor track erupts as the powerful kick creates a dynamic force. The third original track finds "Poison Pan" opening with a stunning combination of bass dominance and intelligently cadenced rhythm. White-noise fuelled pads add weight while a shimmering arp filters into sonic range, backed by counterpoint chords and raw LFO power at the breakdown. The delicate groove and sumptuous arp build once more in the second half to magical effect.

A newcome to the Proton Music catalogues, about : river have already demonstrated their flair talent via an array of labels including Nie Wieder Schlafen, Sound Avenue and Everything Will Be OK. Combining the craftsmanship of Oleg and Ervin Ivanov, the father and son partnership hit the ground running with June 2021's "Go Into The Mist" EP. Featuring a glorious musical triptych, the duo debut on Proton Music with a beautifully imagined interpretation of "Fantasy". Using the melodic themes inherent in Michael A's work, the about : river remix creates a sumptuous melodic tapestry that weaves golden threads in intricate sonic patterns to create a stunning new picture that pitches and falls in delicate patterns. Anchored by a driving beat and clicking, ticking percussive patterns, the result is an original and imaginative interpretation.

A second newcomer finds Alan Thomas Doyle creating another a progressive house gem through his amháin moniker. An artist who has performed in Europe, North America and across his native Australia, amháin has found his production talents in similar demand with work for The Purr, Sound Avenue and Meanwhile. A single remix for Particles in May 2021, remixing Loveclub, Mariner + Domingo, is now followed by a lilting progressive gem that takes the central melodic themes of "Silent Moments" and transforms them into a rolling groove-fuelled affair that is filled with delicate spot effects and pitched synth phrasing. Making clever use of the original components, a free-flowing interpretation waxes and wanes with ease across the 7-minute piece.

Michael A's "Fantasy" opens a new world of mystery and magic with three new originals and remixes from about : river and amháin.

The latest release from Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes label artist Ruben Karapetyan back for a new EP. Following a ten-year hiatus, the Armenian born, USA based artist made a triumphant return to electronic music in 2020 with a series of the releases via the Greek imprint. On the strength of his ethno-progressive sound and remixes from Emi Galvin, Matan Caspi and Stan Kolev, Ruben earned praise and support from the underground's top tastemakers, while enjoying an extended stay in Beatport's Progressive House charts. Additional releases for Droid9 and Eat My Hat landed with equal fanfare, making the Los Angeles resident one of the progressive scene's fastest rising artists to emerge in recent times. Now continuing on that upward trajectory, Ruben returns to his comfortable home of Movement Recordings with a two-track showcase entitled 'Sooner or Later'.

Beginning with the title selection, Ruben crafts a spiritual slice of progressive house with a tantalizing atmospheric narrative. Played out over eight minutes, its fluid groove, pulsating rhythms and otherworldly effects come together for amazing moments across the first act. Subtle and refined, this sleek storyboard proves to be the perfect prelude for a two-minute of cross-cultural vocals and mystical textures, beautifully juxtaposed and heightening the senses onwards to a stirring finale.

The release concludes with the equally impressive 'Ihy'. Well in line with the previous selection with its free flowing, trippy style; a marriage of muscular grooves, devilish effects and driving percussion set the stage for an enticing narrative. Once again, the main break is set to delight dance floors with its transcendent vibes and exotic motifs, tactfully building across a cavernous two-minute stretch and setting the stage for a charged final movement. Exhilarating and memorable, it rounds out a welcome return to Movement Recordings for Ruben, who continues to be one of the progressive scene's brightest talents. Highly recommended.

Sydney based Luka Sambe has created an impressive portfolio with his organic progressive house sensibilities. Here he joins forces with another Sydneysider, Zankee Gulati, to deliver a tree track EP that's impressive in scope and highly engaging.

'Civic Path' leads to a magical forest filled with organic sounds: chirping birds, falling water and rustling leaves soaked in reverb create a nurturing environment. Offset that fantastic breakdown with the bubbling, elastic bass and fresh sizzling percussion, and you have a track as effective as a holiday.

The narrative on 'Burning Sage' might be more linear; however, the devil is in the details. As the track title's ceremonial implications might allude to, various fierce sounds create an almost dizzying effect. But once the sage hits to exorcise the demons, a stunning melody is introduced to ground the bedlam, all anchored in warm drums and soothing energy.

If you're after a straight up cosmic jam, then scratch that itch with '7 Days'. A lovely bass and celestial samples join forces with running synthesisers, all seemingly frolicking on their own accord. Automation enhances movement alongside melodic motifs that work together even though they're not singing for the same songbook. This is one for a lovely sunny afternoon.

No wonder our biggest fan base comes from Argentina, when the genre of progressive house, in a way, "took root" in Argentina, and most of the performers of this genre come from that part of South America. This time the edition is signed by Pedro Bellardo and Andres Morris, in collaboration, called "Hope"! This release consists of two beautiful tracks and perfect synergies of deep sounds and progressive rhythm.
