the college semester of techhhhhh

DJ/Producer Praveen Achary has developed into one of India's most recognizable electronic music figures. His list of achievements is quite staggering; from regular DJ gigs, organizing Juicebox Underground events, running his Juicebox Music imprint to hosting one of friskyRadio's most loved shows and an ever growing discography Praveen has made a huge impact on electronic music not only in India but worldwide. The 17th release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music imprint sees Praveen making his debut on the label with a new single entitled 'Suspended Animation' which includes remixes from: Luis Bondio and Taisuke Chiba.
The 'Suspended Animation' original gets underway with some tasteful beats and delicate electronics. Hazy bell-like accents, swirling synths and washed out vocal stabs work in combination for a fresh sounding harmonic theme which builds nicely towards the main break. The well crafted interlude creates some lovely tension. A foundation of pulsating hypnotic waves sets the stage as the break begins to take shape. As the atmosphere slowly builds alien-like electronics and glacial sounding swells provide the necessary dramatic resonance for a gorgeous conclusion that goes down as Praveen's best musical production to date. 
The first remix is supplied by one of electronic music's brightest and fastest rising stars. Luis Bondio has grown into one of Argentina's most recognizable progressive house producers. With appearances on Renaissance, Hope, DAR and Mesmeric combined with the continued support from international DJs like Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo Luis has become one of the genre's most loved artists. For his 'Suspended Animation' interpretation Luis has provided a superb complement to the original. Distinctive beats, grainy electronics and a much spacier atmospheric component all combine for what would have to be Luis' freshest and most unique sounding production to date. 
The second and final remix is provided by Taisuke Chiba who is making is first appearance on Dopamine. The Japanese producer has been a fixture of the DJ circuit in his home country since the mid nineties and he also runs the Laif Art Music imprint. A single on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music in 2012 put Taisuke's name on the global scene and here he's delivered a superb rework of 'Suspended Animation' to close the release out. A much more tech house inspired framework has put an entirely new spin on Praveen's original. The deliberate groove and offset piano stabs and unique, powerful and create a dynamic presence throughout. Simple but incredibly effective rhythms get introduced during the main drop and once the piano hits come back in it proves to be the perfect prelude to a musically satisfying finish.

Praveen Achary - Suspended Animation (Original Mix)

The 19th release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music sees Dale Middleton returning to the label for his third appearance. The UK producer helped launch Dopamine with a remix of the labels first release from Nikko Z in late 2012. Dale followed that up with an incredibly prolific 2013. As the year is drawing to a close Dale's discography now includes appearances on Sound Avenue, Perspectives, DAR and Afterglow. Dale's first single for Dopamine is entitled 'Daylight Darkness' and it comes with remixes form Progress Inn and Daneel.
Dale's UK house sound has become more and more refined this year and 'Daylight Darkness' might be the ultimate musical culmination of that. The UK producers pristinely polished beats seem to have an extra bounce here and the warm walls of sub bass create a wonderful harmonic underbelly. Angelic vocal pads and gleaming electronics accent the energetic groove as a larger atmospheric presence begins to enter the composition. These melodious synths cast a wonderful harmonic sheen which sees the piece reach a dynamic conclusion that goes down as one of Dale's best musical productions of the year. 
The first remix on the release is from the hugely up and coming Progress Inn. The Australia based duo have quite a unique thing going at the moment. Their 'Currents' EP (on 3rd Avenue) was one of the freshest sounding releases of the summer season and they continue to knock out impressive remix projects as 2013 comes to a close. For their 'Daylight Darkness' interpretation Progress Inn have provided a deep, dubby rework that complements the original perfectly. Delicate hypnotic themes and a warm funkiness combined with an effortless flow make this an ideal warm-up or back room tune.
The final remix on the release is provided by Daneel who is making his first appearance on Dopamine. The Argentinean producer has been a long time favourite of Hernan Cattaneo who has supported a long line of Daneel's bootleg productions in his live sets, radio shows and charts. For his 'Daylight Darkness' remix Daneel has crafted a spacey progressive interpretation. Trippy electronics and a deeply rooted funkiness combine with the understated themes from the original and carry the track to the main break. The drop showcases some subtle musicality which adds a marvellous touch of class. The bubbly bass textures, celestial vocal pads and panning effects are an absolute delight here and set up a strong melodic conclusion for the tracks second act.

Dopamine White welcomes PASINDU & Noise Generation to the label with Synthetic, a compelling three-track EP featuring a remix by Sinan Arsan. Emerging from the Sri Lankan and Indian progressive scenes respectively, PASINDU and Noise Generation have been making waves through labels such as AH Digital, Eat My Hat, Freegrant Music, Mango Alley, SLC-6 Music, and Univack. Known for their emotionally resonant and rhythmically rich productions, the duo now brings their sound to Dopamine White with Synthetic—an EP that explores the shadowy edges of progressive house, infused with groove, subtle melody, and introspective textures. The title track Synthetic opens the release with a dark and hypnotic flow. Driven by a brooding low-end and crisp, intricate percussion, the piece builds slowly, unveiling distant melodic phrases and atmospheric flourishes. The mood is intense yet restrained, with moments of brightness piercing through its dusky character—perfect for deeper dancefloor moments or solitary listening. On remix duties, Turkish artist Sinan Arsan delivers a beautifully restrained version of Synthetic, pushing it further into deep, meditative territory. Known for his organic grooves and emotional soundscapes, Sinan adds his signature touch through soft pads, nuanced textures, and a flowing structure that feels both expansive and grounded. Rounding out the EP is Eclipse of Silence, a more groove-oriented take from PASINDU & Noise Generation. Anchored by tight percussion and a steady pulse, the track evolves with subtle melodic cues and shifting rhythmic energy, delivering a hypnotic yet uplifting finale. With Synthetic, PASINDU & Noise Generation deliver a mature and immersive journey into the deeper side of progressive house, while Sinan Arsans remix brings emotional depth and fluid elegance to complete the story.
