Nikko.Z's Dopamine White opens the fall season by welcoming Bob the Groove to the label for his debut single. David Prie aka Bob the Groove first emerged in 2015 with a release via 238W, before going on to land projects with Massive Harmony Records, PHW Elements and Stellar Fountain. A defining moment in David's career came last year with the release of 'Was It' via Solomun's Diynamic imprint, a track which still sits atop his Beatport best sellers. Now following projects for 3rd Avenue, Another Life Music and Skanda Records, Bob the Groove adds Dopamine White to his resume with 'Rays of Life', alongside a remix from Aurel den Bossa and Ias Ferndale.

Continuing to explore emotive narratives within progressive house frameworks, Bob the Groove delivers one of his finest productions to date in 'Rays of Life'. Timeless grooves, poignant piano stabs and heartfelt melodies are the order of the day here, making for a spectacular setup leading into the break. Looking to bring more emotion during the interlude, Bob the Groove expands on the piano motif through tasteful clusters, while a glowing backdrop rises, hitting all the right emotional centers in order to spearhead a nostalgic sounding finale.

The release concludes with Aurel den Bossa and Ias Ferndale returning to the label with the lone interpretation of 'Rays of Life'. Hailing from France and Germany respectively, Auren and Ias have been frequent studio partners of late, with a string of quality offerings coming courtesy of Massive Harmony Records, Neonius Records and Superordinate Music. The duo's melodic sound has delighted both progressive and melodic house and techno fans, while the genre's tastemakers have championed their music along the way. Having made their Dopamine White debut in June of this year with a well received take on Jorge Viana's 'Olivia', the duo returns with an equally impressive rendition of 'Rays of Life'. Hugely creative, it's a mix that takes square aim at the dance floor with rolling beats, progressive minded grooves and a wealth of inviting atmospherics. Smooth chord changes and a soulful vocal motif provide the bulk of the emotional response, while the second of two breaks seals its heartrending appeal with a warm cinematic glow ushering in a goosebump worthy finale. A powerful remix from Aural and las which caps off another excellent release for Dopamine White, one where Bob the Groove gives us one of his finest tracks to date. Don't miss it.

Rays of Life

Rays of Life [Dopamine White]

A pair of remixes for Particles in December 2022 and February 2023 showcased Wolfframm's talents with sparkling interpretations of OHMZ and Juan Deminicis as he now returns to the label with his debut original EP. "Lucid" is an atmospheric gem that combines a heavy rolling beat with a tight percussive hi-hat backdrop. A stellar array of melodic effects, piano phrases and light motifs punctuate the rhythmic foundation before a deep penetrating bassline adds to the club-friendly character powering its way forward with low-end gravitas and deep intensity. Heading towards the breakdown, a stereo-panned LFO'd synth effect makes its play, before dropping into a full-force third movement where the complete cast of characters combine to devastating effect and melodic sensitivity. "Before You Go" is another bassline-driven gem that creates a smooth melodic backdrop from the bass sequence that is then mirrored through the other synth phrasing. With more than a touch of class, another beautiful piano sequence brings coherence to the EP narrative, as it finds its focus at the mid-point before the second half blossoms into life. A powerful driving beat, analogue bass groove and shaker-fuelled top line create a stunning piece of work in a pair of original tracks to define the Wolfframm sound.

Darling of the progressive house scene and long-time friend of Proton, the award-winning, Jamie Stevens, continues his impressive range of remixes on Proton Music for Petar Dundov, James Monro and Hrag Mikkel, with another genre-defining remix for Particles. With trademark aplomb and meticulous attention to detail, the scattered and panned LFO sequences from "Lucid" create dizzying aural patterns while new melodies generate a new direction full of atmosphere. As hypnotic as it is technically proficient, the Australian icon's skill is to create a unique dancefloor cadence that builds through its phases, ably complemented by whip-cracking kick, rolling low-end groove and fizzing hi-hat top line. The result is another Jamie Stevens masterclass.

Ireland born but Australian-based, amháin, is an artist with a rapidly growing reputation and production portfolio. Making his mark with remixes for Erdi Irmak and Michael A on Proton Music and April 2023's "Evaporate" EP on Particles, amháin now follows up with a progressive breaks-inspired reworking of "Lucid". The aptly titled "Broken Reality Remix" is a tour de force that cleverly plays on the powerful bassline found in Wolfframm's track by creating a groove that extends into a rumbling and sustained sequence over the 7-minute piece. Simultaneously, sounds from the original are liberally spread over the amháin remix as it retains the essence of the original but taken in a low-slung new direction courtesy of the inspired breakbeat backdrop and myriad additional production work.

Nikko.Z's Dopamine White opens the spring season by welcoming Nikola Jovanovic to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Serbia, Nikola Jovanovic has emerged from his country's progressive house scene with a sound that showcases driving rhythms and melodic hooks. 2023 proved to be a breakout year for the Belgrade resident, with a creative swell of releases landing on BCSA, Deep Down Music and Future Avenue, and in turn earning support from some of the genre's tastemakers, most notably Nick Warren. Now, continuing what has been a prolific start to the new year, Nikola adds Dopamine White to his resume with ‘Deception', alongside a remix from Influence (IN).

Taking cues from the nostalgic sounds of the genre, Nikola crafts a groovy journey into the darker depths of progressive house with ‘Deception'. With a mysterious and deeply compelling architecture built around around chunky basslines, buzzing sonics and catch synth hooks, it's a series of peaks and valleys which ultimately makes for such a memorable dancefloor experience, one where an emotive break cleverly coaxes delicate melodies and glowing atmospheres for a groove-centric finale. The companion piece ‘Elemental' finds Nikola delivering another quirky progressive excursion that's nicely suited for those uplifting club moments. Squelchy synth lines and ghostly vocal gates combined with a smooth rolling framework and nicely manicured percussion provide a path into an atmospheric break. Here, Nikola builds anticipation through further synth mutations, nicely set against an airy backdrop of radiant textures, before perfectly segueing into a hip-swinging conclusion.

The lone interpretation of ‘Deception' is provided by Influence (IN) who makes his label debut. Based in India, Influence (IN) first emerged in 2021 with his ‘Lost Path' EP. Coming courtesy of Kash Trivedi's Lohit Deep, it was an auspicious debut for the newcomer, one which showcased his affinity for deep organic grooves and cross-cultural themes. Projects for BCSA, Future Avenue, Magic Room and more landed with much praise across the next two years, making the Indian artist yet another rising talent to watch. 2023 proved to be the most impactful year in the evolution of Influence's sound however, recording projects for Droid9, Juicebox Music and John OO Fleming's JOOF Aura. Now, presenting his first remix of 2024, Influence (IN) debuts on Dopamine White with a huge rendition of ‘Deception'. With a creative approach, Influence (IN) remodels the track into a thunderous slice of progressive house. Bound together by a hypno-architecture, it's a blend of muscular beats, shapeshifting effects, panning vocal fragments and hopeful overlays which ultimately carries this cruising journey, one where Influence (IN) unlocks a refined part of his studio repertoire.
