Continuing a strong start to the year, Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint welcomes Domingo + back to the label for his first solo EP. As one half of the Mariner + Domingo duo, American artist Chris Domingo has compiled an impressive resume across an eighteen-month stretch. Upon making his debut on Balkan Connection in July of 2020, the Florida resident went on a remarkable run, landing releases via 3rd Avenue, Proton Music, RYNTH, and The Purr. Perhaps his most comfortable landing spot was Madloch's long-standing Sound Avenue imprint, where Mariner + Domingo released ten originals across ten months, none more impactful than ‘Another Life' and ‘Inertia', which earned play and support from Lee Burridge and Sebastien Leger respectively.
Now embarking on his future musical endeavors in solo capacity, Domingo + returns to Sound Avenue with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Hardway'.

As Domingo + continues to operate at a creative peak, it is the jubilant sounds of ‘Hardway' which set the course for this new career path. Played out over seven sun-drenched minutes, a storyboard of vocal fragments and Mediterranean motifs gets intertwined with chunky bass tones, clustered chimes, and dusty percussion. Sitting at the heart of the journey, a spirited interlude carries the youthful spirit of the vocal, set against a backdrop of aquatic cascades, before eventually melting down into a glowing finale.

Coming in deeper and more organic is the companion piece ‘Falling Apart'. Acting as an ideal complement to its predecessor, a forest of exotic drums and juxtaposed vocal phrasing paints a contemplative narrative. Mysterious and mystical, the main break furthers the affectionate vocal, sitting amidst muted tones and flickering percussion, before giving way to an unassuming drop and tastefully restrained conclusion. It rounds out two exceptional tracks from Domingo +, who not only makes a triumphant return to Sound Avenue, but gets his solo endeavors off to a tremendous start.

Domingo + - Hardway [Sound Avenue]

A new artist to grace the Particles roster, Nassif Abi Jaoudé has found his music featured on the likes of ICONYC, A Must Have and Hydrogen in a nascent portfolio under his NorCal Junkie moniker, stretching back to a March 2017 debut. Now making his Particles debut, "Gaya Revisited" is a beautifully sculpted track that develops a range of melodic themes and vocal hints across a backdrop of deep driving beat and shaker percussion. Adding a filtered and stereo-panned arpeggio to the mix adds dancefloor energy, while a sumptuous bass groove and layered soundscapes create a smooth and emotive affair. Partner track, "Bolonia" immediately impresses with its hypnotic arpeggio and intermittent motifs. Adding a chorus of effects and newly minted synth chords in the second half adds to the sonic picture as the driving rhythmic character of the title track is in full evidence throughout the rousing 9-minute aural collage.

A name that has become synonymous with the early success of John Digweed's Bedrock, Pole Folder is an iconic name within the underground dance industry. A Proton Music and Particles regular with a score of credits dating back to 2006 and including the "A Glimpse into the Past", "Serengeti" and "Mara" EPs for the former, plus their corollary remix editions on the latter, Particles now welcomes back the Belgian star with a very special reworking of "Gaya Revisited". Full of the trademark melodic prowess that has made Pole Folder such a celebrate name, new flowing melodies entwin easily with NorCal Junkie's original components to create a stunning new arrangement. Evolving through a strong beat and offbeat hats, an elegant piano sequence drifts through the second half as subtle strings and themes resonant in the original find their place in a sublime and evocative new remix.

Michael Chihaka is no stranger to the Particles imprint with a score of original and remix material that has seen the "Nyarara", "Pinda", "Ndarasika" and "Hupenyu" EPs span a 4-year period after a 2019 debut. Remixes for the likes of Ric Niels, Pole Folder, about : river and Maudlin have shown another side to the South African's skills as the Chihaka remix of "Gaya Revisited" enthrals with a majestic and emotive arrangement that uses the central synth refrain from the original and builds a new melodic soundscape around it. Centred around a spine-tingling piano phrase, the track lilts enticingly along its path, accompanied by a sublime vocal counterpoint melody that flows into the breakdown before blossoming on the other side with skill, poise and delicate energy.

With melodic grace and elemental vibrancy, NorCal Junkie radiates warmth with "Gaya Revisited".

Gaya Revisited (Pole Folder Remix)

Opening 2024 with a bang from one of the finest modern progressive house artists, Sebastian Sellares returns to Meanwhile Horizons with his “Uncertainty / Dark Omen” EP.

A producer with a century of production credits for a selection of premium underground dance labels, Sebastian Sellares has been a regular contributor to the likes of Anjunadeep, Proton Music and Dmitry Molosh’s Proportion. Appearances on GMJ & Matter’s Meanwhile have been centred around April 2021’s 3-track “Dunes at Dawn” with high-profile remixes of GMJ, Alex O’Rion and Ivan Aliga adding to an impressive portfolio.

Making his Meanwhile Horizons debut a year after first appearing on the flagship label, the Argentinean star now returns with a brand-new twin-track offering. “Uncertainty” is a brooding, gem that bristles with an industrial-sounding percussive groove. Developing with mute melodic phrasing, a powerfully sustained bassline note drives the track forward with immaculately placed pads and counterpoint motifs adding to the evolving sonic soundscape. With a beautifully conceived palette to provide a sense of unease and incongruity, the opening track is a powerful statement.

Continuing the industrial-sounding narrative of its counterpart, “Dark Omen” builds effortlessly with a strong sense of purpose and identity. Redolent in delays and reverbs, the atmosphere created ensures an uneasy intensity to the track as ticking shakers add a traditional club-friendly urgency. Repetitive motifs progress easily in parallel with a chorus of textures, effects and building pads. A strong bassline motif makes its play at the breakdown before things build once more into the second half; a sharp-edged stereo-panned effect creates a piercing sonic layer with the track showcasing another side to the Argentinean’s production persona.

Through a finely conceived and multi-faceted aural collage, Sebastian Sellares has discovered another winning formula with “Uncertainty / Dark Omen”.
