RELEASE DATE 2020-08-31
LABEL Balkan Connection
CATALOG BALKAN0641

The latest release from Balkan Connection finds Serge Lander returning to the label for a new EP. The Ukrainian artist made his debut on the Serbian imprint in January of 2018 with the well received ‘Twilight’, before going on to release a second EP and a remix in 2019. Now following 2020 releases for Clinique Recordings and Electronic Tree, Serge returns to Balkan Connection with ‘Distortions’ alongside remixes from Donny Carr and Ed Steele.

This expansive pack begins with the title selection ‘Distortion’ which comes with a variety of smooth hypnotic concepts. Tough beats and detailed percussion lay the framework for a myriad of meandering synth motifs which combine for a uniquely ethereal journey. The second selection ‘The Elements’ follows suit with a similar vibe, quite melancholic with it’s pensive overlays and muted tones, but with a charged groove the message is sure to get delivered to the dance floor. ‘Time’ rounds out the originals with an eerie, effects laden narrative highlighted by luminous tones and cascading themes. Colourful and engaging, it makes for a quality late night vibe that should find favour with a broad range of old school progressive DJs.

The lone interpretation of ‘The Elements’ is provided by Ed Steele who makes his label debut. Releases on Sprout and One Of A Kind have highlighted a strong year for the UK artist who continues that momentum with a great remix here. Adding punch, drive and electricity have worked wonders in bringing Serge’s trippy concepts closer to the dance floor. Elastic-like synths highlight the first act, flowing through emotive chord changes and mind bending modulation, before an icy final break resets the groove for a driving finish.

Rounding out the release and providing the lone interpretation of ‘Time’ is Donny Carr who returns to the label for his second appearance. The US artist first appeared on the Serbian imprint in October of last year with a well received remix of Sam Scheme’s ‘Mrs. Zateeva’. 2020 has seen the Salt Lake City resident land releases on Juicebox Music and Mango Alley, with a remix on Droid9 also forthcoming. Here he brings his smooth progressive approach to ‘Time’ with great success. The hypnotic sensibility is high with a smooth yet commanding groove, charged rhythms and fiery percussion uniting for a stellar first act. The main themes get re-worked across the main break, bringing more of a surreal vibe, before the mood shifts once more as the groove drops for a chugging, atmospheric finale. A gorgeous remix from Donny which rounds out another great offering from Balkan Connection. Don’t miss it.

Serge Landar - The Elements (Ed Steele Remix)

From humble beginnings on belt-driven Soundlabs in the mid-90s to commanding crowds with his signature progressive house sound, Ed Steele's journey has been deeply intertwined with the evolution of dance music, his initials are even EDMS. This UK-based DJ and producer cut his teeth in the heart of the rave explosion of the 1990s, a formative experience that ignited a lifelong passion. Transitioning from decks to production in the early 2000s, Ed honed his craft, patiently sculpting a sound that is both intricate and captivating. He was also a driving force behind 'Fresh Out The Box', a beloved club night and festival brand that thrived for years, gracing the stages of the acclaimed Gottwood Festival for a decade. A chance encounter with D-Nox at Noisily Festival in 2018 proved pivotal, leading to his debut release, 'Your Move', on Sprout in 2019. This marked the beginning of a fruitful relationship, culminating in a full album, 'Killing Time', on Sprout in 2020, various remixes and a collaborative EP, 'Embrace Me', on Einmusika in 2024. Paul Van Dyke, Nora En Pure and Miss Monique all played tracks from the Embrace Me EP. Ed & D-Nox's recent remix of 'Uniqueness' by Tali Muss and Vakalbular on Holly Stone Records has been met with widespread acclaim, reaching the top 3 in the Beatport Progressive House chart, further solidifying his position as a rising force in the progressive house scene. With a steady stream of quality releases and an unwavering commitment to his art, Ed Steele's future promises to be nothing short of electrifying. Stay tuned to see what sonic landscapes he conquers next.
