Francesco Pico's Magnitude Recordings welcomes rising star MXV on board for his label debut release. You might have spotted the London based producer's work already, as he debuted on Gabriel Ananda's Soulful Techno label last year, swiftly followed by great releases on Saturate Audio and Droid9.

The release kicks off with the title track, 'Tropics', an energetic but dreamy piece of progressive house music. It sounds both modern and fresh whilst grabbing back to some classical influences, making it widely appealing for the fans of the genre.

Then it's time for one of Francesco's favorite producers, Brandon Scarbrough, to make his first appearance on Magnitude. He stays close to the main theme of 'Tropics' but gives it a subtle deep and warm touch. Classy rework!

To finish things properly it's time for the second original by MXV, 'Late Change'. A nearly 10 minute long proggy builder. One of those 'close your eyes and live in the the moment' tracks. Proper late night rugged vibes here!

A modern music phenomenon with his distinctive sound and prolific output, Erdi Irmak has established an exciting platform for his music with the "Hidden Arcadia" series on Proton Music. Now in its fourth incarnation, "Vol. 4" resonates with the series debut as a clutch of new original tracks mark another milestone in the Turkish artist's portfolio.

Retaining a vision for the future with a combination of cross-cultural influences that permeate through his music in a blissful wave of synthetic and organic sounds, Erdi Irmak continues to operate at the cutting edge of underground dance music with his unique approach and distinctive sound. A regular on the likes of Movement Recordings, Where The Heart Is and Balkan Connection, the Istanbul native is quickly able to harness thoughts and ideas into a rapidly growing collection of original music. Thus, his "Hidden Arcadia" series on Proton Music has come a long way since its debut release in December 2012.

"Lost Youth" opens Vol. 4 with its hypnotic percussive framework and flowing melodic passages that meander across eight-minutes with consummate ease and lightness of touch. Waxing and waning as beats drop and reappear, the relaxed groove makes for a sublime opener. Continuing with style, "The Floating Bridge of Heaven" provides the opportunity for occasional vocal phrases to pepper the nine-minute piece with a dynamic narrative that carries the track. Coupled with a rich array of musical sequences, a central arpeggio sits proudly atop proceedings giving a strong mesmerising character that works well alongside the more freeform elements. A strong kick and trademark acoustic tom percussion find "The Moment" blending elegantly beside emotive piano chord progressions. With its soulful character and rich musical narrative, Irmak's inherent craftsmanship shines through with ease as counterpoint elements blend effortlessly to create a wonderful whole.

An underlying deep house vibe infuses "The Things That I See" with its heavy kick and traditional off-beat hi-hat pattern. Acoustic guitar ripples across proceedings in partnership with intricate piano phrases as the track picks up pace with its dynamic percussion and vocal flourishes add further intrigue in an imaginative piece. A gloriously layered percussive gem finds "Vent" delighting with its combination of grooved bassline elements, plucked guitar and shimmering arpeggio. A strong glissando lead and tremelo character and adds weight and interest as all elements come together in a groove-laden joyous whole in the third movement. "Wake Up Call" draws Vol. 4 to a conclusion with its smooth bassline sequence. Shuffling hats add subtle urgency while a vibrato monophonic lead and gated analogue pad supply glorious depth. Hitting the heights in the latter stages, the combination of melody, rhythm and bass fully showcases Erdi Irmak's extraordinary talent.

Six new tracks find Erdi Irmak very much at the fore with his "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 4".

For our fourth edition of "Untold Stories", a series where we feature new remixes and interpretations of our back-catalogue, we invited a few very special producers from our home country - India, all making their debut appearance on the label. Please welcome Dharmalogy, Midnight Traffic, Nosh & SJ and Ninesh Babu.

After releasing on Renaissance, Choo Choo Records & more in the past, Chris Cargo made a smashing return into the scene after a decade of silence and since his debut appearance with us through the track "Crystal" (part of 'Elements - Volume 2') in 2017, he's gone on to release music on Nick Warren's "The Soundgarden", Paul Thomas' "UV", DJ Zombi's "Beat Boutique", Pena's "Flow Vinyl" & John Johnson's "ICONYC" to name a few, as well as starting up his own imprint - 'If You Wait'. Stepping up to remix "Crystal" is Hyderabad (India) based - Midnight Traffic. Relatively new but with a strong slew of productions under his belt, namely his EPs on Qilla, a collaboration with Kohra on Brian Cid's "Endangered" and his recent single on Click Records' 'Click Loves India Compilation', Midnight Traffic's work has been slowly getting the recognition it deserves. For his remix of Chris Cargo's "Crystal", he swings his strength in creating infectious grooves and hits home. A warm yet chugging low-end, crisp percussive work and the right amount of counter-harmonies to play along with the original melodic riff makes this combination a match made in heaven.

MIDNIGHT TRAFFIC Light Year

001 light year
002 light year ampish remix
003 light year ewan rill remix

From a city that never sleeps, Midnight Traffic surges through Hyderabad. A "Light Year" that sparkles and shimmers. Melodies become frozen in time, weightless and timeless they flow in never-ending patterns. White-noise washes and dizzying stereoscopic sensations converge again in hypnotic rhythmic cadence.

Egyptian skies reflect a new vision with striking beat. The rhythm of the earth's pulse reflected in clear night air. Amplified through a new sound palette, familiar pads sweep across time and patterns appear through new sonic architecture. Ampish travels a new "Light Year" where rolling bassline frequencies resonate in hypnotic dancefloor fashion in the flash of an eye.

From north-western Russia, Ewan Rill creates a new vision of St. Petersburg beauty. Dark intensity pervades the deep space of echoing bassline pattern that drifts effortlessly. A star-field of twinkling lights sonically reflected in delayed synth notes fade into the distance, colliding occasionally in reverberated openness. Power and clarity represented in mathematical precision through space and time.
