Originals / Remixes 2021

The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White finds the label showcasing new interpretations of D-Rhapsody's 'Rip Current' EP. Released in 2017 on parent label Dopamine Music, it was the Italian duo's debut on the Greek imprint. Spread across four tracks the EP showcased D-Rhapsody's unique blend of deep grooves, progressive rhythms and charming atmospheres. Fast forward four years and the Italian duo are now primary contributors to the Dopamine Music labels, with a second EP in 2018 and two star-studded remix editions. Now as the summer season approaches Dopamine White revisits D-Rhapsody's 'Rip Current' EP with new interpretations from Gabo Martin and Jesuan M, Andre Moret and Ric Niels.

Leading the release off and providing the lone interpretation of 'Rip Current' is Gabo Martin and Jesuan M. The Argentinean duo made their Dopamine White debut to begin the year with the release of their 'Mirage' EP in January, the lead track of which now sits atop their Beatport best sellers. Continuing to build their creative synergy, the duo now returns to the label for their first remix, taking 'Rip Current' into pure progressive territory. Fluid rhythms, mountainous bass tones and driving percussion set the course for this peak time journey. Mounds of perfectly contoured bass roll forward with momentous swing, as striking electronics, aquatic effects and emerging atmospheres smoothly shift energy into an emotive break. Cinematic and poignant, the centrepiece furthers the enchanting narrative with harmonic refrains and hopeful overlays, before muscular breakbeats reset the groove for a charged finale.

Returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of 'Mad Spirals' is Andre Moret. The Brazilian artist and Hernan Cattaneo favourite made his debut on the Greek imprint in November of 2019 with his 'Instant Mind' EP, before returning the following year with a well received remix of Rafa'EL's 'Neon Dreams'. A strong start to 2021 has seen the Campinas resident record remixes for Balkan Connection, Clubsonica, Nature Rec and more. Now continuing to delight progressive music fans Andre returns to Dopamine White with a stellar take on 'Mad Spirals'.  Smooth yet groovy, the creation flows through a storyboard of undulating bass, charming tones and sweeping effects, before shifting energy into a grandiose break. Concise and heartfelt, the centrepiece is nostalgic in nature, projecting waves of emotion as poignant pianos and spine-tingling atmospheres set up a feel-good final movement.

Rounding out the release with the lone interpretation of 'Cycles' is Ric Niels who returns to the label following his 'Savon' EP from March of this year. Only a year into his journey as a producer, the Argentinean artist has already compiled an impressive resume, highlighted by releases for Clubsonica, Mango Alley, Movement Recordings and Soundteller Records. Now furthering his bond with Dopamine White, Ric returns to the label with an exhilarating interpretation of 'Cycles'. Smooth and powerful, it's a mesmerizing journey into the depths of peak time progressive house. Tougher than the original, its muscular framework is offset with crunchy rhythms, astral artefacts and effervescent effects. It's dark narrative slowly draws you in as the first act evolves, perfectly setting up a sinister, effects laden break which should not only light up your dance floor, but perfectly sets up a commanding drop and energetic finale. A massive interpretation from Ric Niels, which caps off an excellent remix edition for D-Rhapsody's 'Rip Current'.

Gavin Rochford makes his long awaited return on Manual Music's MNL label with two fresh sounding originals in his trademark sound. The Irishman's productions always have a very distinct flavor to them. A certain kind of melancholic moodyness versus playfulness, Gavin's productions are truly unique and exciting!

On remix duties we welcome the amazing German / South African duo LADS for their MNL debut. They take the title track in a mystique and mysterious direction and instantly show why they are one of the hot names to watch at the moment. Not that they have to prove themselves anymore; their releases on Lost & Found, Rebellion de Traümer, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Magician on Duty pretty much speak for themselves.

Equally, Belarusian pioneer Dmitry has been trailblazing for nearly a decade and continues to have a gig diary taking him around the world. 

Opening with the title track, 'Impending Storm', the pairs unique influences find a perfect middle ground in subtle tribal drumwork. Gathering pace slowly over the first half with some nuanced layering, the track really fires off as the main break hits. With tension building throughout, the second half is trademark peak time. 

Next up, 'Coalition' takes a deeper path. Twinkling arps and rising pads draw you in as the percussive underbelly becomes more pronounced. Proper journey prog, the sonic tale they unfold keeps you hooked until the final beat. Finally, Dutch favorite, Navar reimagines 'Impending Storm'. Sub heavy drums and a skippy percussion framework clever sonic reconstruction, as Navar takes us down a dark, late night trail full of dirty synths and grimey intentions.

Making its annual pilgrimage to the Dutch music capital, Mango Alley provides a virtual tour of sonic highlights that represent the global gathering of Amsterdam Dance Event. Another year of isolation and restricted contact culminates a sonic congregation that showcases emerging and established talents in a melting pot of creativity. Pulsating beats criss-cross the Amsterdam waterways where musical works of art provide a new beginning for autumn's artistic centre.

Roaring to life as knight and day collide in an explosion of sound and colour, a new nirvana emerges. The stars shimmer over the Melkweg and rippling arpeggios take Shelter on the north side before analogue synth motifs find a sweet spot in the Sugarfactory. Imperceptible melodies fade away on the still night air, anchored to their rhythmic foundations that are infused with history and aural narrative.

Manual Music proudly presents Jaap Ligthart's debut album 'Itaka'.

In Jaap's own words:
Itaka stands for ‘influence’. On this album you can hear the different influences cities, countries, styles and artists had on me. In the 20 years I’m DJing and producing I developed my taste in music by traveling the world, meeting new people, seeing old friends and listening to new artists but also the living legends among us, which I tried to translate into this album. 

I began producing the album early 2020 in Prague, right after my last gig before the lockdown. And now, things in clubland are opening up little by little and it’s time to get it out in the open…

Here's part 1. Keep an eye out for the other two!

DJ San & Sebastian Moore - Raindrops (Aaron Suiss Remix)

Next up, we welcome Simos Tagias to the label with the 'Mantis EP'. 

A prolific producer, Simos Tagias has released with everyone from FSOE and UV to Replug and Mango Alley. Based in northern Greece, he made his breakthrough with Lynx Records a decade ago, and has gone on to create an enviable back catalogue with support across the progressive scene from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Cid Inc.  and more. 

Opening with lead track, 'Mantis', we are quickly swept up in Simos' epic soundscape. Dirty bass and gunshot stabs playfully work against shakers and sidechained pads growing the tension over time. Midway, new synthlines add meat to the bones of this chunky groover before the main break cools things off a touch. 

'Daydreamer' begins apace with gated bass and eerie atmospheres. Dark and moody, the sound design creates powerful mental images as the tracks takes hold. Closing the EP, the tribal rhythms of 'Breath' feel extra funky. Synth washes and sparse percussion give the track acres of space to breathe(!) creating a light breezy vibe. Solid work from one of the scene's unsung heroes.
