South America moves differently. The rhythms are deeper, the nights longer, the dancefloors more connected. Out of Buenos Aires, EANP — Ezequiel Anile & Nicolás Petracca — are masterfully crafting the kind of progressive house that feels South American in its emotional weight, but universal in the way it connects.

EANP return to HIGHER STATES for another showcase of their audial skills and demonstrate enormous development in sound design. The EP features 3 idiosyncratic and truly original musical visions that don't shout, rather, they whisper, pull, transform.

Through this release EANP prove again why their sound resonates beyond borders: it isn't just beats, it's storytelling. On HIGHER STATES, their stories have room to unfold, to twist, to take you somewhere unexpected. This is progressive house at its most alive.

From Buenos Aires, FJL emerges with a sound that feels personal and unique in its kind. His new three-track EP on HIGHER STATES captures the essence of Future Progressive: emotionally subdued, hypnotic future funk.
FJL has been quietly building a name in the underground, sculpting grooves that breathe and evolve slowly. His music doesn't rush; it unfolds layer by layer, until you realize it's taken hold.

The EP's centerpiece ‘Mesh' is a collaboration with fellow Argentine producer Francisco Castro, a meeting of two artists who share the same language, musically and otherwise. Together they build something fluid, futuristic and cinematic: SFX shimmering like city lights through raindrops on windows, bass lines that carry a groove towards cinematic climaxes. A dialogue between friends who don't need to speak much to understand each other.

On 'Time Fades', FJL showcases his more melancholic side with definite Argentinian characteristics, but always staying original in the unfoldment of the arrangement and never choosing the obvious in terms of sample selection and sound design.

The last piece ‘Zaino', is a percussive, groove drenched monster, balanced by chord structures that preserve a balance in the light/dark dichotomy, and that slowly unfolds towards a maddening crescendo.

On HIGHER STATES, FJL finds the right platform for this sound: music that values depth over volume, impact over image. This is the sound of Argentina's new Future Progressive generation: subtle, patient, and quietly unstoppable.

Since forming their partnership in Rosario, Argentina, José Duque and Bruno Signorelli have spent more than a decade sculpting a sound that sits perfectly between deep progressive pulse and sophisticated melodic architecture.

Now they return to HIGHER STATES with a powerful three-track EP that guides the listener through shifting landscapes of bass, melody and feeling. The duo's chemistry is magnetic and unmistakable. They skilfully play with contrast in their sonic expressions — shadow against light, tension against release — holding that delicate balance between darkness and lift in every track.

‘Tear Drop' opens with restraint before tearing into an addictive, rolling groove. Melodic fragments and intricate effects bloom across the spectrum. The sounds are detailed, cinematic, and executed with a masterful sound design you feel directly upon hearing it.

With ‘Dizzy', Abity go straight for the body. Heavy kicks, driving groove, hypnotic arpeggios looping upward in controlled ascent. The track builds pressure, rising and rising before slipping into a deep, eyes-closed moment on the dance floor.

‘Modulare' closes the journey on a futuristic axis. Sharp rhythms, unexpected turns, an arrangement that keeps you moving even as it shifts direction. It's alive, and full of personality, showcasing Abity's instinct for keeping the listener in motion.

Abity's music is built on warm grooves, evolving textures and a strong narrative sense. On HIGHER STATES, they sharpen their vision, delivering a psychedelic edge that transforms their intricate soundscapes into full-fledged journeys.

Roger Martinez's Higher States rounds out the summer season by welcoming EANP to the label for their debut EP. Having worked together since 2014, it wasn't until 2018 that Buenos Aires residents Ezequiel Anile and Nicolas Petracca decided to coin the EANP alias for their collaborative efforts. Now firmly established, the moniker has become synonymous with quality club-effective progressive house, complete with a techy flair. Continued support from genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, along with key releases for Balance Music, Mango Alley, Meanwhile, Or Two Strangers and Replug have made the Argentinean duo a much in-demand act. Currently operating at their most prolific and creative to date, the beloved duo now add Higher States to their resume with a three-track showcase 'Hypersonic'.

Already in the sets of Hernan Cattaneo, it is ‘Hypersonic’ which leads the release off. Complete with many of the duo’s beloved production hallmarks, it’s a stripped down slow-burning groove which sets the pace for intriguing vocal samples, hopeful pads and uniquely polished percussion to create a timeless storyboard. Acid stabs steal the air, adding dynamic swing to the groove, while an array of orbiting effects perfectly prelude a heartfelt break, one where wispy sonics and decayed vocals build anticipation for a stomped-out finale, one that is sure to resonate across dancefloors for the remainder of the summer season.

Selection two ‘Hypnotica’ continues the duo’s dancefloor minded approach and complements its predecessor perfectly. With a tough percussive framework. EANP’s craftsmanship reveals itself across the expansive journey, one where techno-inspired beats and low-slung bass lines get peppered with skittering rhythms, glitched-out electronics and carefully placed atmospheric refrains.

The duo’s distinct aesthetic continues on the third and final selection ‘No Input’. Perhaps the most direct composition on the EP, its eight-minute running time quickly sets you adrift in a techno-inspired wasteland of retro-sonics and granular textures. Both intimate and wide-ranging, it's a trance-inducing break which engulfs your attention whole, creating a ceremonial backdrop for misty glitches and fog-like swells to paint a scenic storyboard onwards to a rejuvenating finale.

Presenting their second release of the year, Roger Martinez’s Higher States welcomes Montw to the label for his debut EP. Since first appearing in 2017, Russian artist Stanislav Prokofiev aka Montw has enjoyed a steady rise within the global progressive house scene. Noted for his blend of hypnotic rhythms and captivating atmospheres, the Moscow resident has excelled at creating his own brand of electronic futurism, making him one of the more unique artists to emerge from Russia across the last decade. Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and WARPP have been vehicles for his creative swell over the last three calendar years, in turn earning support from genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. After opening the year with his latest Mango Alley project ‘Zemer’, a single recorded alongside Italian duo Moodintrigo, Montw now makes his much anticipated Higher States debut with a three-track showcase ‘Mantle’. 

The enthralling sounds of ‘Mantle’ crash in and set any preconceived ideas of Montw’s music alight, forecasting rubbery bass lines, jet force propulsions and a hypnotic percussive cadence. It’s quirky synth modulation and glacial effects make for a break that is both memorable and emotive, before melting down into a grooved-out finale.

‘Chronal’ follows in fine style and further hammers down Montw’s elusive vision, with a groovy club-effective quality carrying the piece throughout. Chunky sequences of rhythm, glacial pads and granular textures travel to the very edges, while maelstroms of deconstructed vocals, shimmering synths and contorted effects highlight a high-octane second act.

The third and final selection ‘Bloom’ finds Montw crafting a feel-good excursion that’s nicely suited for those uplifting club moments. Booming yet dreamy, its swing-heavy hypnotism instantly commands your attention, through snatches of fiery synth mutations and quirky chord stabs, eventually culminating in a finale of effects-laden euphoria.

Roger Martinez's Higher States opens the new year by welcoming Ra Duh to the label for his debut EP. Best known for his The Real Experience artist moniker, Romanian artist Ra Duh has been a fixture of the progressive house underground for over a decade. Releases via Aboriginal, Balkan Connection and Laika Sounds sit as discography highlights, showcasing a dark groovy sound favoured by a wide assortment of genre tastemakers. Also a highly regarded DJ, Ra Duh has played an active role in his country's nightlife, programming music for some of Romania's trendiest events and venues, most notably Pârtia Cârlibaba, RoBurn and Untold Festival, amongst others. With the final Real Xperience release coming in 2022, the Romanian artist has spent the last two years retooling his sound for the launch of his Ra Duh alias. Now, as 2025 begins to take shape, he embarks on this new production journey, notching the moniker's debut 'Sigma / Ganymede' via Higher States.

Lead track ‘Sigma' finds Ra Duh collaborating with fellow countryman Hadrian aka Audio State. The Cluj Napoca resident has achieved measurable success under his Audio State alias, with a superlative string of releases featuring a club-effective approach to modern techno music. Pan Pot's Second State and Mistress Barbara's Terminal M have been landing spots for Audio State's premiere projects, in turn earning praise from the underground's elite guard. Now debuting his new artist moniker Hadrian, he teams up with Ra Duh on ‘Sigma'. Full of darker monochromes, the duo's creative synergy shines across this deep chuggy cut, one complete with tension filled builds, swing-heavy rhythms and a devilish effects narrative which pushes the journey to the very edges. Vibrant chord stabs provide an enduring main theme leading into the break, tactfully percolating as the interlude evolves, before melting down to a finale of looping hypnotism.

The release concludes with ‘Ganymede' which finds Ru Duh operating in solo capacity. The Romanian expounds his progressive vision here, with spacious rhythms and wispy sonics blanketing tough kick drums and chunky basslines. Clever percussive co-actions marry squelchy stabs and orbiting effects, while an inventive break highlighted by mediterranean motifs and an understated build preludes a finale of charming overlays and carefully controlled sonic manipulations.

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.

With their first collaborative project Alex O'Rion and Antrim debut on Roger Martinez's Higher States with 'Imagine'. Hailing from the Netherlands and Argentina respectively, Alex and Antrim have found favour amongst progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while finding a home on Sudbeat Music, Hope Recordings and Cid inc's Replug Records. Now presenting their first ever joint productions, Alex and Antrim present a two track artist showcase via Roger Martinez's Higher States.

Alex and Antrim show the fruits of two artistic minds coming together on the title cut 'Imagine'. Fluid and inviting, it's well contoured groove is full of character, shape and warmth; while a band of hip-swinging rhythms put your emotional centres on high. Ghostly fragments add an air of anticipation, perfecting setting up a cascading lead theme which effortlessly weaves it's way in and out of the framework. Lying gently below surface, it's emotive charm is hard to resist, juxtaposed against a storyboard of timely effects, before rising to prominence following an expertly executed break.

The companion piece 'Round Trip' follows a similar sonic ethos but with a dubbier quality overall. In crafting a smooth rolling groove, the cross-continental duo have fashioned another powerful foundation, complemented with hypnotic pulses and percussive drive. Ethereal in design and poignant in delivery, harmonic phrases descend over the framework, carrying the piece into a hopeful second act, before getting washed away in a rush of beats and drums for a pulsating finale. It caps off a hugely successful collaborative project from two of progressive music's most beloved talents, making for another outstanding offering from Roger Martinez's Higher States.
