Alex O'Rion returns to the label with the sensational 'Castle In The Sky' EP.  

Alex's influence on the modern scene is significant. Ranked Top 3 selling producer on Beatport during Covid ravaged 2020, plus a regular 25 thousand listeners tuning in on streaming platforms, the Dutch maestro has come a long way since experimenting in his childhood bedroom as a teenager. Now signed to all the important labels, Alex's tracks soundtrack club nights the world over. 

Opening with 'Castle In The Sky', a chuggy mid-set bubbler, skippy hats and rubbery bass form the undercarriage on which Alex lays out orchestral pads, keyed hooks and upbeat feels. Piano nuances in the break add yet more class to this classy groover. Tribal rhythms get 'Avalanche' off to a flying start. Hypnotising from the off, melodic elements take their time to fade into earshot, but once there, fill out the track effortlessly. Delicate and thoughtful, critical mass is reached in the break where the drop brings boundless energy and soul.

Clubsonica Records continues a strong spring season by welcoming K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren to the label for their debut EP. Russian artist K Loveski has been a beloved figure of the progressive house underground for well over a decade. A series of releases for Omid 16B's Alola Records spearheaded what has been a thirteen-year creative swell. The Saint-Petersburg resident now boasts a resume highlighted by releases via Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Balance Music, Mango Alley and Or Two Strangers, while also earning the support of Hernan Cattaneo and Guy J along the way. Meanwhile, Argentinean artist Geronimo Eguiguren has also made his mark since first emerging in 2019. Longstanding imprints Balkan Connection, Droid9 and Soundteller Records were comfortable homes for Geronimo early on. However, it was 2022 which proved to be a breakout year for the Buenos Aires resident, with a release via Antrim's Or Two Strangers yielding play and support from Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Sebastien Leger. Now, combining their extensive forces for the first time, K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren make their Clubsonica debut with 'Chaia | Kamikaze', alongside remixes from Simos Tagias and Ruben Karapetyan. 

Beginning with 'Chaia' K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren masterfully synthesize their talents into one singular progressive minded vision. Warm beats and a full, rolling groove set the foundation for a narrative of youthful vocal fragments, cosmic effects and heartfelt harmonics. Pushing a melodic mood into the break; the duo marries emotive chord changes with balmy synth phrasing; building emotion with each successive pass as additional vocal fragments tease the senses, before eventually giving way to a thumping drop and groovy finale. The companion piece 'Kamikaze' continues the groovy lean of the release and lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship. Smooth and uplifting throughout, it's a foundation of warm pulsating beats and chunky bass stabs which set the course for effervescent effects, whimsical vocal elements and panoramic synths to captivate leading into the break. Charming synth phrases and choir-like pads further the story as the centrepiece unfolds, bringing with them reflective moods and serene qualities, before a tasteful drop puts your senses on high for an emotive conclusion.

The first interpretation of 'Kamikaze' is provided by Simos Tagias. Clubsonica has been a comfortable home for the Greek artist, having remixed two projects for the label beginning with his debut in 2018. Now, following his latest vehicle for GMJ and Matter's Meanwhile, Simos makes a welcome return to Clubsonica with a poignant rendition of 'Kamikaze'. While maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, the Greek artist crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, one where redolent themes and heartfelt sonics blanket voluptuous grooves and flashing percussive arrangements. Coming to full fruition across the main break, it's a bucolic college of texture and effects which serves to elevate mood onwards to a thumping finale. 

The release concludes with Ruben Karapetyan. Now, following a contribution to The Soundgarden's Winter Sampler, Ruben makes his Clubsonica debut with a powerful take on ‘Kamikaze´. Smooth and inviting across the first movement, Ruben continues his stylized ways with rippling grooves, precise percussive arrangements and whimsical melodies creating a colourful path into the main break. Sitting comfortably in an emotive yet thought provoking space, luminous effects and sweeping harmonies rise out of calming atmospheres as the interlude evolves, eventually breaking off as a flurry of drums sparks a pulsating drop and charming finale. A stunning remix from Ruben, which rounds out an impressive label debut from K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren, an artist duo who continues to impress and rise in the world of progressive house.
