Donny Carr steps into HIGHER STATES with a bold 2-piece musical statement.

Known for genre-blurring explorations that unite deep, progressive, techno, and classic house, Utah-based music producer Donny Carr is the latest artist to align with the HIGHER STATES vision. A former saxophonist turned producer, Carr brings over 15 years of live-performance experience to high-level studio precision, resulting in a sound defined by groove, atmosphere, and instrumental soul.

His debut on HIGHER STATES aligns seamlessly with Roger Martinez’s musical vision: deeply textured, emotionally resonant progressive music with heart and drive. Within this perspective Carr however completely weaves his own distinct sonic trajectory, balancing great technical finesse with profound emotive resonance. Expect this release to stand as both a creative leap for Carr and a milestone in genre innovation.

Jackie Jeff makes a powerful return to One Of A Kind with his five-track EP Ancient Planet. A true journey through organic and progressive house, the release showcases his versatility and emotional depth across two standout originals: the atmospheric title track Ancient Planet and the driving, introspective Don’t Look Back.

On remix duties, Salt Lake City’s Donny Carr delivers a masterful progressive rework of Ancient Planet, layering groove and emotion in equal measure. Swedish producer sond takes Don’t Look Back into deeper and more experimental territory with two unique versions—one a hypnotic reinterpretation and the other a cinematic Ambient Revisit that closes the EP on a meditative note.

Together, the five tracks form a diverse yet cohesive package, balancing club-ready energy with immersive soundscapes, and marking Ancient Planet as another essential release in the One Of A Kind catalog.

Watch the track breakdown here: https://youtu.be/Bs-IJjfXHQA

Californian born but now firmly ensconced in his adopted Salt Lake City home, Donny Carr is a leading protagonist in the area's dance music scene. An accomplished DJ and saxophonist, Carr's legendary performances behind the decks has left enraptured audiences across Utah and beyond. A fledgling production career that began in early 2018 blossomed throughout the year with his immaculate blend of deep, tech and progressive house. A debut remixing Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor for Jee Productions kickstarted a notable career, while further remixes of Stan Kolev for Freegrant and victory in Quivver's "8 Bit Eclipse" remix competition for Controlled Substance has found Carr seated at underground dance's top table.

Now debuting on Yang, the Donny Carr remix of "Final Round" takes the familiar cadenced foundation of T Raum & The Wash's original and treats it to a shaker-fueled percussive groove. Evolving elegantly, a swathe of emotive chord progressions and textured pads create atmosphere before a new arpeggiated motif produces a fresh hypnotic pattern. Waxing and waning with ease, Carr's skill is to take "Final Round" in a stunning new direction while retaining the original track's essence.
