Echomen - Perpetual (Guy J Remix)

STAND STILL

Featured on Hernan Cattaneo's Balance 026 CD and out now on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat label as part of the "Temazcal" EP.

After having released a track on "Sudbeats Vol. 2", the always consistent Cid Inc makes his long over due Sudbeat solo release.

"Temazcal" is a groovy little number, deep and chunky and full of swagger. The muted bass sounds encapsulate your mind, before a luscious soundscape unfurls as the dreamy tinkles cascade like a warm blanket of sound. The combination of these elements generates a mystical hazy feeling of beauty, and is mesmerising.

"Response" is a hypnotising and warm, subtly layered gem. This is a masterpiece for the mind as it crystal clear production leaps out at you, creating an almost 3D vortex of sound, and all the while, the track is gently building creating tension and atmosphere as it meanders effortlessly and beautifully as a perfect dance floor moment.

And the already known ‘Fragile Circle’ closes the package. This track doesn’t need much of an introduction, as it was one of the gems included in the outstanding Hernan Cattaneo’s Balance and has been played by Hernan himself all over the world during the album tour.

Cid Inc - Fragile Circle (Original Mix) [Balance/Sudbeat]

Omid 16B is one of those names that seems to have been on the cutting edge of cool house and techno for as long as you can remember, and thats because he is a consistent provider of the finest music and is loved by the Worlds biggest DJs, Omid 16B is the epitome of coolness.
His debut on Sudbeat sees Omid 16B introduce the cross numeric title “Nu1' taking you on an underground voyage, with railroad like horns sweeping across the intro before the hypnotic bassline creeps in, adding drive and energy, complimented by clever fx and delays to create tension and atmosphere.
This sublime yet subtle gem seems to pack above its weight, as its mysteriousness locks you in to its mystifying vibe, before its tale explodes into layers of what one would describe as a ‘melodic masterpiece’ whilst still being restrained and most certainly raising a smile on the dance floor.
Darin Epsilon is a perfect choice for remix duties here, with his rich vein running in respect to the original, adding warm and carefully programmed sounds to add a variation but holding the vibe beautifully here, as warm subby bass meets the gorgeous melodies to create an end of night moment to leave your dance floor beaming with delight.
And if that wasn't enough for you, Kevin Di Serna who has previously appeared on Omid 16B's Alola and the mighty Sudbeat was chosen by Omid & Hernan personally as the the obvious choice to fulfil this package.
His tasty rework cuts things rights back, chills the vibe, and creates a fantastic escape for the mind and feet.
A superbly musically balanced package, impossible to over look this gem!

Outliers (Remix Contest Winners)

Cid Inc vs. Darin Epsilon - Outliers (Solid Stone Remix) [Perspectives Digital]

Presenting our 11th release is Sri Lanka's very own - Subandrio, with a stunningly soulful 2-track EP titled 'Lost In Sigiriya'. Relatively new but highly in demand with his impeccable production skills, Subandrio has been rising up the ranks as one to watch out for. Quality releases on Replug, Perspectives Digital & Sudbeat with support from the who's who in the industry are a testament to his output. The consistency continues with his debut on Juicebox Music. 'Sigiriya' pays tribute to Sri Lanka's famous Lion Rock, also referred to as the '8th Wonder of The World'. Swarmed with arpeggiated riffs, phased pads & leads on a bed of shuffled percussive grooves along with a smooth rubber-bassline carries the track towards an attack of soaring stabs for the final moment. 'Lost Soul' continues the homage with ethnic flutes & darker undertones leading the way while keeping the arpeggiated riffs and chords on a lighter context but equally intense. 

We called upon two of our favorite producers at the moment for remix duties, both of whom have been equally consistent as the other and both of whom knows how to compliment the original in their style. First off is the Polish underdog - Monojoke, who touches 'Sigiriya' by beefing up the groove, adding his signature flair on top of the original parts and signing off with an epic climax. 'Lost Soul' gets warped interpretation by Serbian - Vlada D'Shake, who infuses twisted sounds and mind-bending surgical edits while resting, restlessly, on a tight groove with an aggressive drive.

Coming soon to Particles

In a world where the creative arts are fluid, influencing each other via film, music and theatre, the world of Desaturate brings a passion for the creative process matched by a dedication to musical craft. As the lines between art forms become blurred, "The Unholy Mountain" draws inspiration from the world of cinema and musical storytelling.

A man with a rich history within the underground music scene, the Progress Inn name saw Janko Dragovic partnered with Igor Kadic in a string of impressive releases allied to the industry's most respected imprints. Thus, Vapour, Stripped and Temporum provide the backdrop for Serbian production know-how and a platform for DJ performances across Europe and their adopted Perth home on south-western Australian coast.

Through Desaturate, success has continued for Dragovic as work for Sudbeat, Sound Avenue and Balkan Connection testifies, often through the collaborative partnership formed with French dance music legend Rick Pier O'Neil. Now returning to Particles after the success of the "Spirals" EP with O'Neil, Desaturate embarks upon a new musical chapter.

Influenced by the 1973 film, "The Holy Mountain" and accompanied by exquisite art from the hand of Ben Mautner, Desaturate draws inspiration from the, "fascinating work of art" directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Filled with religious imagery and stunning visual cinematography, Desaturate's "The Unholy Mountain" is a musical vignette of the highest order through a sweeping cinematic narrative that paints a vivid aural picture.

Opening track "Detract" is a warm, bouncing, bass-fuelled gem that is enhanced by a striking percussive cadence and richly textured pads that pulse gently throughout the eight-minute work. Reverb and delay drenched chords play their part in a brooding and hypnotic piece that evolves elegantly from the third movement.

"Frostbite" maintains the hypnotic flow of its predecessor as metronomic groove quickly finds its feet amidst a melange of evocative chord progressions and sumptuous pads. A delicious riff adds aural bite from the mid-point onwards in a work that revels in strong rhythmic accent.

Characterised by a strong, thumping beat, final track, "Unholy" develops with impressive guile and subtlety through its side-chained pads and acid-tinged riff, building in momentum to a superb zenith. Effects layers redolent in filtered and flanged delays swim across the stereo spectrum to supply additional depth in a work of skill and poise.

Scaling unprecedented heights at the summit of "The Unholy Mountain", Desaturate has further enhanced his reputation at the high altar of underground dance music. "We began in a fairytale and we came to life, but is this life reality? No, it is a film."

Sudbeat favourite Cid Inc. returns with this new package including three originals that have been pushing up dance floors worldwide!

'Moonstruck' is bubbling warm powerhouse, a throbbing mass of warmth, with slightly darker hints underpinning, as we drive ahead at full speed. Punchy and yet with a party edge, this is a biggie.
'Contrite' slows the pace a tad, with beautiful layered melodious cascading, wrapping around you, like a big hug from a good friend. A slight wonkiness adds to the tension and sophistication, as this gem unfurls its magical spell.
'Formation' is all about the bass, as its top line strides forward, before the warm tripped out stuttery effected drop that encapsulates your mind, before sheets of dreaminess ooze effortlessly glaze this sound cape of coolness.

Israeli rising star Khen returns to Sudbeat, after his recent appearances on microCastle, Lost & Found and Plattenbank. This young promise is causing a fuss with his devastating productions, and delivers two gems here for your listening pleasure.

'Never Lose Your Innocence' is full of groove with its sultry bassline paving the way, shrouded in warm pads, cool percussion and nice fx that gel wonderfully as this builds and the arpeggiator develops before unexpectedly changes key, delivering added warmth and lifts the track again. This accomplished gem oozes quality and it’s a real winner.

'Bustan' picks up the energy levels as this dreamlike powerhouse goes hell for leather! The bassline frantically paves the way, while its lushness wraps around your mind, delivering a fantastical effect. Solid stuff!

Release Title: Schneeweiß VI Presented by Oliver Koletzki
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT174
Release: 2016-08-05

Over the years, Oliver Koletzki has continuously cited Berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. Two of his albums Großstadtmärchen and Großstadtmärchen 2 have been a direct ode to the capital. Friedrichshain, one of Berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in Olivers heat. This is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. Schneeweiss, one of Friedrichhain's best and most loved restaurants, is just around the corner. Over the course of eight years, the stylish eatery has impressed many a Berlin foodie with its contemporary take on alpine cuisine and attention to detail. 

Music is part of the experience here, which is no surprise due to one of the owners extensive background in Berlins club scene of the early days. Pairing striking award-winning interior design with a homely laid-back atmosphere, Schneeweisswelcomes everyone with open arms: Kiez locals and celebrities, students and businessmen, hipsters and families all can be found here, Oliver Koletzki among them. Thus, after many a late-night label dinner an idea slowly formed. Why not join forces and collaborate on a compilation that represents both, Oliver Koletzki's and Schneeweiss taste? Compiled specifically with the restaurant in mind, SVT174 once again convinces as a tasty treat for the music connoisseur and a musical treat for the culinary aficionado. Bon Appétit!

An ear’s delight is what we’d call it. And we sure as hell wouldn’t be lying.

Premiere | Kevin Di Serna & Ditian - Crystal Forest (Lost & Found)

Matt Holliday returns to Bonzai Progressive with the fantastic Godforsaken which features three quality remixes from Rise and Fall, Crocy and metrONomes. A firm favourite at Bonzai, Matt has delivered some fine tunes over the last few years, including his last outing Pipe Dream as well as sublime cuts alongside friend and studio partner Manu Riga. 2016 has proven to be a very busy year so far for Bulgaria based Matt. Several radio shows, DJ gigs and a raft of top notch releases have kept him busy. But it's his recently released album - Phase Of Life (JOOf Aura) - that was his main focus. A truly forward thinking artist with a lot to offer, we always look forward to his new sounds.

On the Original Mix Matt Holliday demonstrates a mature and cultured take on the progressive sound. He digs deep on this one combining many elements to get us into the depths. This one is surreal, sensual and simply stunning. A solid drum section drives the track while a beautifully warm low end powers the groove. Swirling, panning pads deliver trippy sequences that draw us in further while distant melodies offer a light at the end of the tunnel. Fantastic yet again from this guy, this one will not disappoint.

Rise And Fall step up to the remix desk with another fine slice of progressive. A highly respected artist on the scene, his last outing for Bonzai - Genetic - gained a great deal of support as did his remix for Nico Parisi's Attica. On the remix here we are treated to a pumping progressive beat which is laced with a techno edging. Chunky kick drums lead the way as deep droning, gritty basses fill up the low end. A solid groove ensues and is shored up by a tight rhythmic flow, courtesy of some tight drum arrangement. This one goes deep and we soon find ourselves locked on for the duration, wanting more and more. Top notch once more form this awesomely talented artist.

Bonzai stalwart Crocy delivers another one of his emphatic remixes for our listening pleasure. Just recently he unleashed his own latest cut - Valve - which proved very popular indeed and solidified his stance on the progressive scene once more. Never one to miss a beat, we know we're in for some top notch sounds when this guy gets to work. On the remix here Crocy does what Crocy does and delivers a super fine quality progressive house joint. Nice and chunky kick drums are front and centre as rhythmic percussions layer up to take us to the floor. A punchy, stabby bass comes through to dominate the sound and is joined by various subtle melodies that combine beautifully to0 take us higher. The main melodic part is super sweet and stands out brilliantly amongst the lower frequencies. Another fine slice from the main man, not to be missed.

The dynamic duo metrONomes are back on remix duties to take us on another trip with their brand of deep grooves. With a penchant to blow our minds with their creative wisdom, it's no wonder these guys are much sought after when it comes to looking for quality vibes. Their last outing on Bonzai - Crocodile Tears - turned a few heads and showed up on many playlists, which is no surprise really. Much more to come from these guys in the future so stay tuned. The guys offer up a techno fuelled take on the original and as you'd expect they do an absolute outstanding job. Big punchy kick drums lead the way and are backed up with trippy FX and subtle synths. A monstrously deep, pulsating bassline is the big hitter here and no doubt the bassbins will take a hammering from it. Minimal, powerful solid techno grooves to set the floors alight, this one is a monster.

Celebrating a landmark achievement of reaching 100 releases, Sudbeat pull out all of the stops with a star studded release, featuring many of the labels favourites in one smile inducing swoop and introducing a new graphic restyling that mark a new era for the label!

Not much needs to be said about Guy J, who is the perfect choice to proclaim this Centenarian landmark.

'Algorithm' is a stunning musical workout, a lesson in how to create tension, with its subtleties being its crowning glory. The pulsating rhythms create a mystique, matched only by its beautifully layered and carefully crafted harmonious tones and tripped out effects. Understated sounds cascade, creating a powerful soundscape that packs a mighty punch, that all adds wondrously to this magical musical meting pot.

The first remix steps up label heads Hernan Cattaneo and Graziano Raffa, who of course are the ideal candidates to try represent the label sound. Their fine rework utilises the original elements superbly, whilst also adding further drama and energy with its sweeping pads, beautiful chords and dubby overtones. A pacey affair ensues as things intensify elegantly, drawing you in to its striking climatic breakdown. Layer upon layer seem to collectively erupt as we peak to a crowd frenzying occasion thats sure to raise the roof.

If you hadn't been spoiled enough, then the Spanish emperor Henry Saiz is up next, bringing all his usual class to close this package beautifully. Henry's hallmark epic sound is represented in full effect here, as a dramatic and invigorating workout ensues. Locking you in to its groove and then swamping you with a profound lead synth, reminiscent of film scores and conjuring up sci-fi images delivers the powerhouse to be reckoned with. This tale unfurls further as the vivid breakdown delivers another turn its saga.
