Sascha Dive - Dark Movement EP (CUEV004)

An established artist on the Proton Music roster, Michael A and his "Fantasy" series marked a high point as volume 1 hit the shelves in September 2020. Now returning with a quartet of new original tracks, "Reverie" opens with an intricate rhythmic and melodic framework as shimmering pads and filtered synth melodies provide an earworm moment. Aptly titled, a crystalline arpeggio pierces the heady rhythms at the breakdown before the track evolves in the second half with poise and grace. "Obsession" is a typically vibrant affair with sophisticated percussive groove blended with syncopated motif and immaculate bass pattern. Building with ease, a meandering synth line flows across the upper frequency range with ease while white noise washes and effects aplenty add depth and dancefloor prowess. "Reminisce" is characterised by a light and intricate percussive groove, anchored by cavernous sub-bass pattern. As it develops, an array of textured layers pulsate across the piece before a delay-rich arpeggio and rasping bass line hit their stride at the mid-point onwards. A dark pulsating gem, "Bloom" powers forward with pumping bassline muscle while a dizzying array of shakers and hats pan the stereo spectrum. Melodic intrigue is provided by soundtrack strings and an array of sparkling synth phrasing, wrapped in a delicate piano shell.

Another regular on the Proton Music and Particles roster, Imran Khan has continued to carve out a continuing presence in the underground scene with a clutch of tracks across 2020. With his "Organik" and "Sunsweat" EPs gracing the flagship imprint in 2019, remixes of Lanvary, GMJ and Dmitry Molosh throughout 2020 have enhanced the UK artist's already impressive reputation. Returning to remix Michael A's "Silent Moments" from "Fantasy, Vol. 1", Imran Khan illustrates why his production skills are much sought-after with a trademark reworking that sees a characteristic rich and dark groove complemented by smooth arpeggio sequences and soaring pads. Building throughout, an array of original production material and intelligent use of Michael's remix components creates a gloriously contemplative offering that is a tribute to Khan's craftsmanship.

A newcomer to the Proton Music ranks, Lucas Rossi has seen his reputation grow steadily since a debut on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden in mid-2018. A seasoned DJ in his native Argentina, the South American has continued to find his music signed to such high-profile imprints as Balkan Connection, onedotsixtwo and Armen Miran's Hoomidaas. The latter with his three-track "Meeting Point" EP in March 2020. Reworking the title track from "Fantasy, Vol. 1", Lucas Rossi has created a rich sonic tapestry that centres around a hypnotic rhythmic bed of hi-hats, shakers and toms that provide the perfect vehicle for melodic tropes from the original to float across the eight-minute track with ease. Gradually building in intensity, the breakdown provides the perfect moment for a more detailed melodic study to take place while the second half drives forward with percussive intent, thickly textured pads and sympathetic attention to Michael A's original.

Four new original tracks and superlative remixes from Imran Khan and Lucas Rossi find Michael A continuing his sonic "Fantasy".

Mystic Mind - Del Sol (Rodrigo Lapena & Gonzalo Sacc Remix) [3rd Avenue]

Taken from 'Electrique Boutique compiled and mixed by Steve Marx'

(onedotsixtwo) ODST0041
Beatport Exclusive: 29 January 2021
All Stores: 12 February 2021
Format: Digital 
BeatportPre-Order: https://www.beatport.com/release/electrique-boutique-compiled-and-mixed-by-steve-marx/3257291

‘Electrique Boutique’, has been meticulously curated and crafted throughout the past year by Steve Marx, a highly respected and in demand Sydney based dj with decades of experience playing around the world, and an integral part of onedotsixtwo’s A&R and management team. He has enlisted the talents of a wide spectrum of producers from across the globe, both established and up and coming, to contribute exclusive and previously unreleased material which he has expertly selected and mixed to form a unique and dynamic mix bursting with energy and individuality.

onedotsixtwo’s mantra is ‘Proper Progressive’ and there is no better advocate than Steve Marx for this. Using his innate understanding of the progressive sound he has compiled a stunning collection of tracks from a diverse group of immensely talented producers, a number of which were created specifically for the compilation.

Nick Newman’s ‘Oracle’ sets the scene perfectly with it’s deep rolling groove and haunting pipes, giving way to veteran Belfast producer Chris Cargo’s ‘Wolfie’, setting the tone for what is undoubtedly going to be a wild ride. Next up, Buenos Aires’ Santi Cebrero’s ‘El Canto de la Calandria’ brings the Argentinean progressive flavour into the mix with it’s beautiful soaring melodies and chugging bassline.

The recent hotbed for the progressive sound, Sri Lanka, has given us SAJAY and the stunning ‘Pareidolia’ with it’s sweeping and warped FX, carried forward by a deep rolling bassline and shimmering melodies. Australia’s Zankee Gulati is up next with one of a number of the tracks written specifically for this mix compilation. Zankee has seen a meteoric rise in the past year thanks to universally praised releases on highly respected labels and his track ‘Who Are You?’ demonstrates exactly why with it’s laidback but powerful groove, euphoric melodies and muted, yet wildly infectious vocal hook. 

Now the mix comes into full flow with a duo of Argentine duos back to back, both also with tracks produced specifically for this compilation. First up, Analog Jungs’ ‘Saturnia’ takes us into orbit with a tight galloping kick and razor sharp shakers underpinned by a swooping bassline, sublime keys and a topline with enough energy to power a city. Fellow countrymen Oliver & Tom take the reins next with ‘Skyscraper’, a stunningly crafted piece that soars effortlessly and drives with intent simultaneously. 

The suspenseful and percussive beauty of ‘Sweet Melancholy’ from Colombia’s Zalvador gels effortlessly into the hypnotic and atmospheric ‘Lockdown’ by Russia’s Rise & Fall. Steve Marx then turns the dial back up to 11 with another Argentinean injection of power from Cordoba’s Ivan Aliaga and his beast of a track ‘Mysterious Stranger’. The penultimate track on this outstanding mix compilation comes from Missouri’s Will DeKeizer who’s masterful and emotive ‘Karma’ demonstrates perfectly why he is a name to watch this coming year. Last but not least by any means, and very fittingly, we head back to Sydney, Australia with Balad and his ethereal opus ‘Day and Night’ to close out this progressive masterclass.
