Progressive House

::: Progressive :::

Returning to Meanwhile with a full debut EP, Zankee Gulati continues his journey as a rising progressive house talent with the “Mind Opener / Magnetic Island” EP. A single remix comes from Argentinean duo, Analog Jungs.

A recognised force in his Sydney hometown, Zankee Gulati has continued to see his star shine increasingly bright within the underground dance firmament. An artist and promoter renowned for his spellbinding sets across Sydney’s clubs and for bringing the likes of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Ben Bohmer to New South Wales, the Australian’s performance in the studio has only cemented a rapidly growing reputation. A mounting catalogue of sumptuous offerings has increasingly featured on the likes of Sudbeat Music, The Soundgarden and Balance Music, plus a standout contribution to John Digweed’s “Futuro” compilation on Bedrock, with “Low Tide” in collaboration with fellow countryman, Jamie Stevens. Two appearances on GMJ & Matter’s imprints in December 2022 saw “The Magic Spoon” feature on “Beyond The Horizon, Vol. 2”, while “HereAfter” found its way onto the flagship label’s, “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 3” in July 2023.

Now hitting the heights once more, the light and airy tones of “Mind Opener” reveal themselves over a strong kick and ticking percussive top-line. Rippling arps and a strong motif keep the energy high as analogue edge gradually develops within the latter with an open filter creates a range of harmonic frequencies that shine over a beatless breakdown. Dropping back into the hefty rhythmic groove, the track then draws to its meticulously sculpted conclusion. “Magnetic Island” is a deep, chugging powerhouse. Full of rhythmic prowess and building elegantly through thumping kick and shaker-driven groove, a beautiful melodic passage develops within a hypnotic arp that filters to a powerful denouement in the final stages. The strong rhythmic narrative of its predecessor then finds its place once more in the final stages.

A single remix comes from Argentinean duo, Analog Jungs, who first came to Meanwhile prominence on their 3-track “Surrender” EP in March 2022. Already regulars on blue-chip labels that include Mango Alley, Hope Recordings and Manual Music, the Córdoba-based pair excel once more with a chunky interpretation that creates a trademark rhythmic foundation and driving bassline groove. Adding tropes from Zankee Gulati’s original, they turn “Mind Opener” into an exciting and dynamic new track that is redolent in additional production material and melodic invention. The result is a powerful remix that is an exceptional addition to the EP.

New music from Zankee Gulati and a remix from Analog Jungs pull “Mind Opener / Magnetic Island” into the centre of the Progressive House map.

Paul Deep is back on Sudbeat with that signature sound that helped him building a solid reputation within the progressive house Argentinean realm.

A creative powerhouse with music signed to everyone from All Day I Dream to Beat Boutique via The Soundgarden and more, Paul's tunes have soundtracked plenty of dance floors worldwide thanks to his natural instinct  in creating chunky grooves and mental riffs that are super effective in a djset.

Opening with 'Rea', tough kicks and icy atmospherics create a machine funk vibe layering percussions and dark sonics. Groovy and uncompromising, there's no let up in the break which powers forward for the darker floors.

'Pulsa De Nura' continues apace. Dark drums light up the floor as squelchy bass and sparse percussion introduce us to the melodics before bursting into life. Heads down to the break, a keyed hook adds light relief before we plunge back into the depths of the peak time night.

French DJ and producer Arias has announced the release of his new single, ‘Elephant’ on 11th August via Steve Angello’s SIZE Records.  
Having caught the attention of Pete Tong, Axwell, and Eric Prydz with previous single ‘Magenta’, Arias’ latest serving ‘Elephant’ is set to propel the beatmaker into the next chapter in his music career.

The single features his progressive tones, as a rumbling build-up gives way to a thumping drop backed by a powerful bass line. The resulting anthem looks set to dominate dancefloors and festival stages upon release.

Arias says, “It's one of my tracks that I'm most proud of. The emotions that come from the track is exactly the music I like to create and listen to.”

Arias has also released a flurry of Beatport Top 100 tracks, including ‘Andromeda’, ‘Pegasus’, ‘Majoris’, and ‘Solar’, on his own Olympia Records label. 

Arias is part of a new wave of leading progressive house producers to come from France in recent times. ‘Elephant’, is a solid example of his cleverly-crafted style and positions Arias as an artist to watch.
