When Words Fail

KAYINDA When Words Fail (Original Mix)

Phi Phi & Manu Riga - Shadow In The Woods (Bonzai Progressive)

The hugely successful studio partnership between Manu Riga and Phi continues with yet another top quality release. Shadow In The Woods is their latest effort on Bonzai Progressive and raises the bar once again. Since their last full release, Voyage A Goa, they have churned out a raft of top remixes for the likes of Jaydee, Matan Caspi, Jon Voorn, Crocy and many more.

The title track, Shadow In The Woods, is a sublime, slow burning, chunky groover. Hypnotic pulsing basses and darkly sinister sounds combine to the backdrop of a tight, beautifully crafted drum and percussion arrangement. Sharp Intellect follows, closing the release in style thanks to its no-nonsense, straight up progressive groove. Something of a signature sound for this duo, wholly captivating with expert beats and percussions, a chugging bassline, striking melodies and topped off with intriguing voices.

KAYINDA aka (Manu Riga & Phi Phi) - Perdu Dans La Masse (Original Mix)

The 31st release of the label comes out of the hands of the Greek Antimatter Particle (@antimatterparticle) and is called ‘Gloomy Winter’. The EP includes three minimalistic and dark melodic techno originals, with emphasis on techno. Besides, we are happy to announce Heîk (@heik_ofc) is contributing to this EP with an energetic and more melodic orientated remix.

The first track of the EP is also the title track, called ‘Gloomy Winter’. The icy and dark vibe, which is sensible throughout the full EP, immediately comes forward. With tight and minimalistic percussion elements Antimatter Particle is giving a rapid groove to the track. On top of this groove, lingered pads and atmospheric synths are laid down.  

‘Floating’ is the banging second track. The lower part is a bit heavier and is giving a lot of groove and body to the track. The cold synth work is a nice example of eccentric sound design. Combined with the mysterious background percussion, it results in a very compelling composition.

The third track of the EP is called ‘Tar’. In the track the compelling vibe evolves to captivation. Founded by an acidy lower part, the ethereal pads are taking you to another dimension, where they keep you until communicating synths are taking over in the breaks. Together those elements are setting a haunting mood. 

The final track is Heîk’s remix of ‘Tar’. He took the compelling parts and main melody of the original and built his own world around them. The remix has a lot of energy with an ongoing flow. On top of this flow, interesting sound designs are taking shape, providing unexpected moments. Sometimes it makes you think twice about what you are hearing. So, HeÎk closes the EP in a dynamic and powerful way.

PREMIERE: Antimatter Particle - Tar [Infinite Depth]

Phi Phi returns to Bonzai Progressive alongside label debutant Ignace Paepe, with the superb ‘Luminous Waves’. Over the years, Phi Phi has been a constant force in the progressive and trance music scene, remaining deeply connected to his musical origins. With numerous residencies, club sets, and festival performances under his belt, he has earned a legendary reputation among his peers. His passion and steadfast dedication to the genre are evident in every track he produces. We are delighted to welcome him back once again. Belgian DJ, producer and actor Ignace Paepe realised their passion for electronic music at age 15 and their love for House and Techno music led them to iconic venues like Cherry Moon, inspiring a lifelong connection to the scene. After acquiring their first DJ equipment in 1994, Ignace became a regular in Belgium's music scene but eventually stepped back to pursue a healthier lifestyle in 2000. In 2019, they returned to music with a radio show on Villa Bota, blending vinyl and digital DJing. Today, Ignace shares their journey of self-acceptance, promoting individuality and self-expression through music and film.

‘Luminous Waves’ opens the release with driving beats, plucky bass notes and airy FX. Shuffling percussion patterns add a rhythmic complexity the powers the groove. Dreamy atmospherics unfold, with ethereal pads and delicate melodies for an otherworldly feel. The bassline is warm and plucky, balancing the low-end while a gritty, bassy synth injects a dose of energy. The break opens up the spectrum, shepherding in infectious dreamy textures that give way to a short build-up and back into full-on mode for the duration. ‘Radial Flow’ concludes the release and bursts with intensity from the start. Driven by powerful beats and spritely hi-hats that keep the rhythm crisp and lively, Infectious percussions add to the groove, while a rolling bassline shores up the low-end with steady momentum. Gritty stabs inject a rawness, contrasting with emotive melodies that bring a touch of euphoria. Playful arpeggios dance through the mix, adding brightness and movement, creating a dynamic flow that will keep you hooked.

Jaydee is joined by two iconic artists, Manu Riga and Phi Phi, also known as Kayinda, who return to the label with their Dub Remix. After collaborating on multiple projects over the years, the duo officially formed Kayinda, gaining recognition through a series of standout tracks and remixes released on respected labels. With each release, they continue to solidify their presence in the music scene. The remix here takes us into darker territory, driving forward with solid, punchy beats and shimmering hi-hats, creating a deep, hypnotic groove. Layered with rhythmic percussions and droning basses, the energy builds in a moody undercurrent as dark stabs echo in a call-and-response pattern. Trippy, Hammond-style riffs swirl through the mix while Infectious synths pull you in, evoking nostalgic vibes reminiscent of the mighty Plastic Dreams. A truly immersive, late-night journey that is not to be missed.
