The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White finds the label showcasing new interpretations of D-Rhapsody's 'Rip Current' EP. Released in 2017 on parent label Dopamine Music, it was the Italian duo's debut on the Greek imprint. Spread across four tracks the EP showcased D-Rhapsody's unique blend of deep grooves, progressive rhythms and charming atmospheres. Fast forward four years and the Italian duo are now primary contributors to the Dopamine Music labels, with a second EP in 2018 and two star-studded remix editions. Now as the summer season approaches Dopamine White revisits D-Rhapsody's 'Rip Current' EP with new interpretations from Gabo Martin and Jesuan M, Andre Moret and Ric Niels.

Leading the release off and providing the lone interpretation of 'Rip Current' is Gabo Martin and Jesuan M. The Argentinean duo made their Dopamine White debut to begin the year with the release of their 'Mirage' EP in January, the lead track of which now sits atop their Beatport best sellers. Continuing to build their creative synergy, the duo now returns to the label for their first remix, taking 'Rip Current' into pure progressive territory. Fluid rhythms, mountainous bass tones and driving percussion set the course for this peak time journey. Mounds of perfectly contoured bass roll forward with momentous swing, as striking electronics, aquatic effects and emerging atmospheres smoothly shift energy into an emotive break. Cinematic and poignant, the centrepiece furthers the enchanting narrative with harmonic refrains and hopeful overlays, before muscular breakbeats reset the groove for a charged finale.

Returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of 'Mad Spirals' is Andre Moret. The Brazilian artist and Hernan Cattaneo favourite made his debut on the Greek imprint in November of 2019 with his 'Instant Mind' EP, before returning the following year with a well received remix of Rafa'EL's 'Neon Dreams'. A strong start to 2021 has seen the Campinas resident record remixes for Balkan Connection, Clubsonica, Nature Rec and more. Now continuing to delight progressive music fans Andre returns to Dopamine White with a stellar take on 'Mad Spirals'.  Smooth yet groovy, the creation flows through a storyboard of undulating bass, charming tones and sweeping effects, before shifting energy into a grandiose break. Concise and heartfelt, the centrepiece is nostalgic in nature, projecting waves of emotion as poignant pianos and spine-tingling atmospheres set up a feel-good final movement.

Rounding out the release with the lone interpretation of 'Cycles' is Ric Niels who returns to the label following his 'Savon' EP from March of this year. Only a year into his journey as a producer, the Argentinean artist has already compiled an impressive resume, highlighted by releases for Clubsonica, Mango Alley, Movement Recordings and Soundteller Records. Now furthering his bond with Dopamine White, Ric returns to the label with an exhilarating interpretation of 'Cycles'. Smooth and powerful, it's a mesmerizing journey into the depths of peak time progressive house. Tougher than the original, its muscular framework is offset with crunchy rhythms, astral artefacts and effervescent effects. It's dark narrative slowly draws you in as the first act evolves, perfectly setting up a sinister, effects laden break which should not only light up your dance floor, but perfectly sets up a commanding drop and energetic finale. A massive interpretation from Ric Niels, which caps off an excellent remix edition for D-Rhapsody's 'Rip Current'.

Rip Current (Gabo Martin & Jesuan M Remix) [Dopamine White]

An artist consistently at the cutting edge of the underground dance scene, Juan Deminicis returns to Proton Music with another outstanding twin-track offering courtesy of his "Water / Rebellion" EP.

From the bustling metropolis that is Buenos Aries, Juan Deminicis has become one of dance music's most celebrated and respected names. Inspired by the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Warren and fellow countryman, Hernan Cattaneo, Deminicis has since risen to dine alongside such legends at electronic music's top table. Regularly hitting the heights with a sparkling array of original and remix production material, the Argentinean has seen his work signed to such leading imprints as Guy J's Lost & Found, Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas and Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music.

A regular on Proton Music since 2012's "Downshifting" debut with Pablo Acenso, a trio of original EPs for Proton Music in the shape of 2013's "Behind the Sun", 2018's "Life on the Moon" and 2020's "Synchronicity", have all contributed to Juan Deminicis' ever-growing reputation within an ever-changing industry.

Now returning to the label with his fourth original offering, "Water", featuring the vocal talents of Mila Belini, is a velvety smooth affair that envelops the listener with hypnotic melodic percussion and sumptuous pads. Wrapped within a crisp rhythmic shell, Mila's ethereal vocal phrases meander delicately across the 7-minute piece while a beautiful piano sequence is revealed at the mid-point breakdown and into the third movement. The resultant combination of rhythm, melody and vocals is the perfect illustration of Deminicis' skill, craft and technique.

"Rebellion" continues the smooth elegance of its partner track as ticking percussive hats and powerful beat merge with subterranean bassline groove. Having established the perfect club-friendly foundations, textured pads gently pulsate in time while a glorious array of counterpoint melodic phrases tumble over each other to create a rich sonic tapestry. The golden threads woven into the aural fabric create a vibrant and shimmering picture that is certain to find favour among the world's finest DJs.

Another pair of scintillating tracks find Juan Deminicis once again firmly in the spotlight with his "Water / Rebellion" EP.

Michael A - Returnal (Original Mix)

Considering that almost every one of their songs is directly supported by one of the greatest progressive producers, Hernan Cattaneo, it is no wonder that this trio comes into force together and produces ideologically perfect music in the opus of the melodic progressive house.

Niceshot, Larrosa & Gardoqui for the first time on our label, with the beautiful single "She" and great remixes, for which Stranger Tourists and Lupe Republic were in charge!

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.
