DMX Krew - You Can Do It!

Hibernation is at an end: it’s 2023 and Aniara Recordings are back. Dorisburg delivers the first of three new Aniara 12” releases. A-side ”Voices” continues right where the Swedish label left off with its signature sound in 2019: 9 minutes of evocative minimalism that’s as entrancing as it gets. On the flip side we find ”Skulptur 7”, a haunting, atmospheric dancefloor cut in the inimitable style of Dorisburg.

Releasedate vinyl/digital: February 14 / March 3, 2023

Comet Premieres proudly presents Summerslam, a standout progressive house weapon from Rockka on Brisbeats. The original drives forward with rolling grooves, a powerful low-end, and bright melodic lifts, striking that sweet spot between summer warmth and underground intensity.

On the flip, Matt Black turns up the heat with a peak-time rework built for full-throttle club moments. From early-set build-ups to main-room madness and sunrise finales, Summerslam lands as a must-have cut for every progressive house arsenal.

Sri Lankan producer Rockka has become a standout force in the progressive house realm, shaping a signature sound defined by deep atmospheres, emotive melodies, and powerful, flowing grooves. His music strikes a rare balance  cinematic in feeling yet built with the energy to captivate any dance floor.

With releases on respected imprints like Mango Alley, Juicebox Music, and SLC-6, Rockka has solidified his place among the genre’s most compelling new voices. His tracks have earned heavy support from tastemakers including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Nicolas Rada, consistently appearing in influential sets around the world.

From the North East to the South West, Matt Black’s three-decade journey defines unwavering passion for electronic music. A move to London in 1991 ignited his connection to dance culture, later solidified in 1994 when a John Digweed mixtape set his musical direction. In the studio, Matt became a respected producer, with releases on Perfecto Black, Bonzai Progressive, Balkan Connection, and Krafted Underground.

Supported by global icons like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Guy J, his sound consistently resonates across the progressive community. His radio residencies on Frisky Radio and Proton Radio showcase his deep musical range to a worldwide audience. With fresh material in the pipeline, Matt Black continues to shape the progressive landscape with his evolving artistic vision.

Does the world needs more acid? Yes it does! the R-A-G trio aka Dutch producers Ma Spaventi, G-String & Aroy Dee deliver three raw acid-jams with Aroy on the couch working the mic. The lyrics of Dreadfully Nervous are based on a Edgar Allan Poe story.

'Dreadfully Nervous (Aryd's Acid Mix)' is a gurgling brew of squelchy acid with dark vocals and pinging cowbells pulling you in all directions. Coarse claps and ever more wild synths encourage you to cut loose and make for another timeless cut. 'Dreadfully Stoned' is more stripped back, with a rubbery arpeggiated synth the main hook over subtle, supple drums. Those dark spoken word vocals are back again and the whole thing is freaky and unsettling as a result. Last of all is the bright and glistening 'No Soul' with metal hits and claps and prickly acid all bursting out of dusty Chicago drums. It's raw and sure to fire the synapses just like R-A-G productions always do.

Nadia Struiwigh is an electronic music DJ & producer from Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Sitting somewhere between Biosphere and Boards of Canada, Struiwigh's refined downtempo electronica takes you on a journey full of synthesized soundscapes that flirt with ambient techno.

Awash with melody and warm electronics, Lenticular is an expertly crafted piece from an artist who has found her sound and is now effortlessly outputting inspiring compositions.

Reminiscent of Warp's Artificial Intelligence series, this is electronic listening music for quiet nights and club drowsy dawns.

We are especially pleased to be able to offer you the official re-release of this 'lost' 6-track mini
album by New Yorker Ben Cenac (of Newcleus fame). It was recorded and released in 1990 and is
an absolute gem of a record, which is very much in the vein of Larry Heard's best recordings.
Electronic soul classic! Now available again for the first time in 22 years, remastered + full artwork.
'A truly, dreamy, beautiful classic deep-house mini-album from the golden-post-Larry Heard era.
New-yorker Ben Cenac, who was also member of electro pioneers Newcleus (and part of Sha-lor,
who had a cool jazzy garage-house hit in the late 80's), shows a great sensibility and delicacy here
in following mr Heard's path.
His approach is perhaps slightly more sci-fi in the synths and pad sounds, and perhaps a tad less
crafted and mercurial in production than the master (ie less timeless), but this adds in realness and
charm.
So, past the classic deep-garage dream "My Love Turns To Liquid" (in the vein of these sultry
garage productions from Peter and Vanessa Daou), the rest of the record shows constant quality,
with song titles that could have been (or actually have been) used by Mr Heard himself, and a
content oscillating between warming deep-house, sweet acid, lush garage and relaxed spacejazz
piano parts, the whole thing also evoking the Beloved's better 'rave' moments ("The Sun Rising"
etc).
This record could be studied in university as the synthesis of the deep-house scene of the early
1990s. Classic.' (Review by Restless, taken from Discogs).
