From his home in the beautiful port city of Cartagena on Colombia's Caribbean coast, Gux Jimenez is an artist with a rich and varied musical history. Regular appearances on Balkan Connection, UV and fellow countryman, Juan Pablo Torrez's Clubsonica Records, have enhanced an already substantial reputation as Jimenez returns to Particles after a successful debut remixing Juan Deminicis. Now making his full EP debut, "Run Only Run" is a rip-roaring opener that combines gloriously emotive symphonic passages with growling bassline and driving rhythm. Rising and falling with ease, complementary arpeggios emerge in the second movement before extending further into a bright and breezy second half. Continuing the strong bass presence into "La Noche Y Tu", a thumping kick and off-beat percussion sit tightly around a smooth synth motif that glistens with delay. A counterpoint phrase makes its presence felt, full of emotion and sensitivity, as a stripped back breakdown allows the melodies to blossom before a bass driven final section hits its mark. The third original track sees the contemplative, "Colapso" enchant with sustained chord progressions and modulated pads. Spiky synth phrases provide a marked contrast as the track revels in head-shaking bass groove and intricate percussive programming. A changing sonic tapestry is gently revealed across the epic 8-minute piece to showcase Jimenez's skill and craftsmanship.

Filip Kaczmarek has created a long and storied history within the electronic music scene with his Kobana moniker. A regular on Particles and Proton Music with countless remixes and original production work, the Polish artist's full-length album, "The Riddle" was a notable highlight for the latter in 2014. A stellar array of powerful dance material has found its way onto Particles, not least with early production partners, Yan3dots and Mario Hatchet. Returning to the label for the first time since 2016, the Kobana remix of "Run Only Run" creates a gloriously textured reworking that cleverly uses the central themes of the original and transforms them into new melodic phrases that dip and climb in perfect sonic waves of filtered intensity. Enveloped in dancefloor knowhow, Kobana's skill is reinterpret Gux Jimenez's work with skill and ingenuity.

Hailing from Buenos Aries, Soulkeys has seen a clutch of releases since a 2013 debut for Balkan Connection South America, spread across such esteemed imprints as Aethereal, Stellar Fountain and One Of A Kind. A pair of remixes for Particles saw reworkings of Sam Heyman in 2019 and Rayomand in 2020, as the Argentinean now returns with a third remix. Taking on "La Noche Y Tu", the Soulkeys remix is built around the central melodic motif from the original as he develops a sublime array of additional production material to showcase his own talent. A 4/4 beat and shaker-propelled percussion provides dancefloor character while an emotive new piano sequence is a glorious highlight at the mid-point and into the beatless breakdown. The resultant interpretation is a tribute to Soulkeys' talent and craftsmanship.

Accompanied by Kobana and Soulkeys, Gux Jimenez has sprinted into the spotlight with his "Run Only Run" EP.

Ewan Rill - Stars In December

Rounding out the month of October, Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes Dabeat to the label for his debut EP. Sitting as one of Colombia's premiere progressive house talents, David Barragan aka Dabeat has enjoyed a steady rise since first emerging in 2008 with a release courtesy of Beatfreak Recordings. The next decade saw David perfect his craft with a sound that many describe as groovy, dynamic and emotional. Now laying claim to an impressive discography, the Santiago de Cali resident has showcased his music via Cid Inc's Replug Records, Nick Warren's Hope Recordings, Clubsonica Records, Mango Alley and Proton Music, while continuing to receive play and support from the genre's premiere tastemakers. Now continuing what has been an inspired year, Dabeat makes his Movement Recordings debut with a four-track showcase entitled 'Resonance'.

Getting the release underway with 'Istila', Dabeat collaborates with fellow countryman Zalvador. As occasional studio partners, the duo have recorded joint productions for D-Nox's Sprout, Mango Alley, Univack and more. Aiming squarely at a peak time dance floor 'Istila' sets the tone for the release with its infectious grooves, buzzing effects and warm, breezy overlays. Tantalizing arps emerge leading into the main break, acting as a perfect bridge into an interlude where emotive melodies marry placid pads onwards to a heartfelt finale.

Selection two finds Dabeat collaborating with frequent studio partner and progressive music star Kamilo Sanclemente. Long regarded as one of Colombia's foremost electronic music talents, the Cali resident has found a home on Anjunadeep, Clubsonica, Songspire and The Soundgarden, while earning continued support from Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J. Now paired with Dabeat once again the duo deliver the EP's title selection 'Resonance'. Tight and rhythmic in all the right ways; fiery percussion and wavy arps set the course for aural enlightenment. Emotive chord changes transcend time and space across the first act, providing a poignant anchor for metallic motifs and shapeshifting melodies to work their magic during a thrilling conclusion.

The release concludes with two solo productions from Dabeat, beginning with the meditative sounds of 'Holofractal'. Its pulsating groove is perfectly contoured, adorned with rhythmic waves, delicate arps and colourful chord stabs. Glowing pads advance narrative, moving through poignant chord changes, while adding depth and emotion leading into the main break. Moving from placid soundscapes to cosmic creativities, the interlude not only shifts mood but builds tension towards a thumping drop and playful finale.

The final selection 'Sacrana' follows suit and is well in line with the previous track with its free flowing, trippy style. A marriage of emotive harmonics dazzle across the first act, sitting atop a fluid, progressive minded groove and layers of driving percussion. Once again, the main break is set to delight dance floors with its emotional disposition and tasteful build, which perfectly shift energy into a fluid, key changing finale. Exhilarating and memorable, it rounds out a welcome Movement Recordings debut for Dabeat, a highly talented artist who continues to be one of Colombia's most exciting progressive house producers.

004 tejomaya paul hamilton remix

North and South America converge in stunning clarity as Dimuth K and Berni Turletti hit new heights with "Tejomaya". Crystal clear melodies flow in cascading torrents beneath a riverbed of rock steady rhythm and heavy bass intent. Hypnotising patterns emerge in liquid formations that surface in a breakdown of intent, and glistening delays reflect in shimmering patterns in the second half. A Dutch master provides a new interpretation of purpose and intent as familiar melodic phrases filter through Alex O'Rion's "Tejomaya". A sublime new groove rolls in easy percussive sequence as motifs build amongst an array of multi-faceted soundscapes and white-noise waterfalls.

An iconic name full of sonic juice returns to familiar alleys where Praveen Achary signals new resolve. Reverberating bass echoes in cavernous waves across a rhythmic force of nature. Subtle references to "Tejomaya" reveal themselves at the mid-point in spiralling delays and recognisable motifs. From the edge of the Persian Gulf, Paul Hamilton charts a path through the familiar waters where tumbling melodies flow in rivulets that shimmer and shake in sonic glory. Anchored by chest-thumping kick and head-nodding hi-hats, sultry rhythms showcase a glistening new edifice.

DIMUTH K & BERNI TURLETTI Tejomaya (Paul Hamilton Remix)

Providing a progressive masterclass in November 2020, Matter’s “Amanita” was a powerful platform for the Australian to release his solo debut EP on Meanwhile. Now, returning to the three-track offering, a trio of remixes create a new perspective.

Matias Chilano is an artist with an impressive and varied portfolio to his name, dating back to a debut for LuPS Records in mid-2008. Over 400 production credits followed as the Argentinean found his work allied to the likes of Roger Martinez’s Higher States, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and a pair of tracks on Patrice Bäumel’s ground-breaking 2019 mix for “Global Underground #42 Berlin”. Another Meanwhile debutant, the Matias Chilano remix is a typically powerful offering, redolent in the wonderful rolling rhythms and delightful melodic patterns that have become such a feature of his work. Rippling arps hint at the motifs found in “Hikikomori” as immaculate and imaginative use is made of Matter’s remix components. Building though a fusion of white noise and snare rolls, the track rises and falls with ease in club-friendly manner before a new delay-fuelled synth lead makes its mark in the second half to devastating effect.

A renowned Sri Lankan producer with over 150 production credits to his name, Dimuth K has found himself featured on such renowned imprints as Plattenbank, BeatFreak Recordings and Proton Music. An award-winning DJ with performances alongside Guy J, Sahar Z and Guy Mantzur, Dimuth makes his Meanwhile debut with a driving rhythmic interpretation that treats “Hikikomori” to a ticking percussive groove and seismic kick drum. Using elements of Matter’s bassline to intelligent effect, a beautifully shimmering arp makes its presence felt while a unique sonic tapestry weaves elements from the original into new production material from the Dimuth K production arsenal. The result is an evolving melodic gem that flourishes post-breakdown to mesmerising effect.

An iconic name with a tidal wave of success, GMJ returns with another outstanding remix. A regular contributor to his co-owned label, the Melbourne based star has already lit up Meanwhile with a plentiful supply of original material over 2020 that includes “Mood Medicine” in solo guise, and the “Lost on Origin”, “Eldarin” and “The Path / Perfect Storm” EPs with Matter. Reworking “Wormhole”, the GMJ remix thus continues the rich, rolling groove that forms such a central tenet of his production ideology. Building in pace, melodic references to the original make their play, accompanied by pulsating white-noise washes and trademark reverb and delay-soaked synth lines that extend into the third movement. A deep sub-bass adds weight aplenty and the track waxes and wanes with ease across its near 10-minute timeframe.

Mushrooming into a new sonic adventure, Matter’s “Amanita” is transformed via remixes from Matias Chilano, Dimuth K and GMJ.

PREMIERE: Hobin Rude - Travectio [Another Life Music]

Between polarity and balance, light learns to expand beyond resistance. Every paradox dissolves into rhythm, every shadow reveals an ordered structure within movement. The universe expresses itself through invisible patterns: its pulse harmonizes opposites, transforming rising tension and silence into radiant equilibrium.
