TWO LANES - Eyes

The latest release from Clubsonica Records finds the label showcasing the 2022 edition of its MMW Sampler. Long a testing ground for some of the underground's freshest new music, Miami Music Week sees artists, DJs, labels and industry brands travelling to the long-standing event, searching for what will be the spring and summer seasons biggest records. The global pandemic cancelled the event's previous two years but now with the world opening back up, the 2022 installment moves forward with great anticipation. Pre-covid 19, the MMW Sampler was a staple in Clubsonica's release schedule, and now makes a triumphant return with exciting new music from (in order of appearance): Alex Bessofen and Pablo Arbelaez, Andre Moret and NAHS, Emegepe, Mir Omar and Ric Niels.

Opening the release are Alex Bessofen and Pablo Arbelaez. Also finding favour with world class DJ Hernan Cattaneo, Alex and Pablo continue on an upwards trajectory with 'Mezcal'. Aimed squarely at a peak time dance floor, the duo marries electric rhythms and striking percussion with driving beats and pulsating grooves. A stunning array of effects delights across the first act, sweeping in and out of the stereo-field as crunchy arps add texture and momentum leading into the second of two breaks. Rising modulation continues to elevate mood as the interlude builds to a sonic sizzle, before giving way to a vortex of noise as the groove drops for a thumping finale.

Selection two finds Andre Moret alongside NAHS. Now, joining forces for the first time, Clubsonica serves as the perfect landing spot for the duo's collaboration entitled 'Brava'. Deep and fluid throughout, the duo's sleek designs are mysterious yet hopeful, tactfully merging for a momentous mindset-style groover. Looking to bring greater emotional depth, the main break adds colour through arpeggiated phrasing and cinematic overlays, gently building anticipation onwards to a glowing apex and purring final movement.

Next up is Emegepe. Presenting his first project of 2022, Emegepe now makes his Clubsonica debut with 'Multicoloured Puff'. Played out over eight minutes, its tightly-knit groove and hypnotic rhythms set the foundation for an evolving atmospheric narrative. Ghostly wails and timeless chord stabs come in waves across the first act, playing off layers of driving percussion, while sweeping effects carry into the main break. Stripping down to a cavernous ambience, the interlude builds anticipation through striking overlays and colourful arps, before giving way to a stripped-down drop and intoxicating finale.

The sampler's lone remix is provided by Mir Omar. Now with the demand for new material at an all-time high, Mir makes his Clubsonica debut with a gorgeous rendition of 'Induction' by Mental Order and Tim Othy. Opting for a bigger, more peak-time approach, the American artist focuses on a strong rhythmic narrative, with layers of hip-swinging percussion and buoyant tonal themes fueling its infectious drive. Landing in a timely fashion, the main break resonates with great strength, juxtaposing shape-shifting atmospheres over warm sub bass, onwards to a driving finale.

The release concludes in fine style with Ric Niels. Ric returns to round out the MMW Sampler with 'Who Knows'. Well in line with the previous selections, its striking beats and free flowing, energetic style conjures up colourful clubland images. A marriage of trippy effects and driving percussion blankets a tight, compact groove, perfectly setting the stage for a cascading lead theme. The main break is set to delight dance floors with its whimsical charm and mesmerizing build, the latter of which smoothly shifts energy into a chunky, percussive finale. Mature and well composed, it rounds out an excellent 2022 edition of Clubsonica's MMW Sampler, one where a combination of new and veteran talent come together for several magical moments.

Chris Drifter & MB Project - Remember

New Opportunity (Original Mix)

Hungarian producer Chris Drifter burst onto the global progressive house scene in 2007 when several of his initial productions were picked up by the legendary Plastic Fantastic label. He's also been running Sound Tribe Records since 2007 where the label has built a solid reputation for releasing club friendly music that leaves the genre tags behind. Chris made his first appearance on Movement Recordings in July of 2010 with his 'Drifting Diamonds' EP that earned huge support from: PVD, Matt Cerf, Harry Lemon, Kasey Taylor, Michael and Levan, Soundexile and Sezer Uysal to name just a few. For Movement's 4th release of 2012 and 41st overall we see Chris returning to the label for an EP entitled 'The Puzzle' with fellow Hungarian producer Steve Valentine who is a regular on Chris' Sound Tribe imprint. The EP leads off with the drummy groove of 'The Puzzle', a chugging tech house cut that comes on in a percussive storm. Shortly thereafter some processed vocal snips meld their way into the tight groove for a superb hook. The sharp builds and dynamic cuts keep the dance floor energy quite high and this one should see a wide range of plays from house to techno to progressive DJs alike. The second cut 'That Sound' follows with a similar chugging groove that's loaded with boundless energy. A brief section of chopped up vocals leads to the introduction of a massive rolling bass line and some prominent electronics. As the composition progresses the vocal loop builds the energy higher and a wonderful melodic section comes to the forefront which should provide a great dance floor moment before the shuffling groove storms in again for an impactful conclusion. The EP closes with the romping 'Dead On Arrival' which comes with stomping beats, chopped up female vox and some excellent glassy keys. As the piece builds and extra synth elements get added into the mix the track takes on a much funkier nature, main room house bomb in the making here! The main drop reveals a short spoken word sample which is a play on the 'Dead On Arrival' title of the piece. A serious bumping cut from Chris and Steve to close out this amazing 3 tracker.
