Blusoul - Modular Memories

Henry Saiz - Not Last Words (Guy J Remix)

If 3 is, indeed, the magic number, then theres something very special going on here. Those initials will immediately give the game away to anyone who is a fan of exciting, forward-thinking electronic dance music, as 3 of its most talented exponents have ganged up for a studio session and cast a musical spell that is nothing short of extraordinary.

Fresh from his exceptional remix of the classic Circulation track Turquoise (Mesmeric), and brand new track Genesis coming on Sven Vaths Cocoon later in June, who else but the melodic maestro - Guy J - could be the perfect creative studio partner for John Digweed and Nick Muir, producers of the finest electronic dance music, who have been involved in many pivotal moments in the world of club music over the years and have in many ways helped to define genres &amp; push the boundaries ever further forward?

As with all their releases, TREZZZ shows that no one is resting on past laurels but always developing their sound in an exciting direction. Those with fingers firmly on the pulse of innovative electronic music will have noted TREZZZ as being a major highlight on John Digweeds latest Live In Cordoba (Bedrock) mix album. Now its time for this collaborative stroke of genius to shine in its full spine-tingling glory. 2 versions. 2 masterpieces. 3 is, indeed the magic number!

Release Promo Review

Roger Martinez’s new Higher States imprint launches this week with three stunning tracks from the man himself. With a career now spanning well over a decade, the Dutch artist’s transcendent style has long been a favourite of the world’s top DJs, landing him releases on some of progressive music’s most esteemed imprints in Lost & Found, Replug and Sudbeat. Now starting a new journey, Roger presents the inaugural release on Higher States.

Having spent the first month of 2019 touring Australia the ethos of this collection draws on inspiration from Roger’s experiences there. Beginning with ‘Dreamtime’ we get a free flowing journey of redolent rhythms and effervescent electronics. It’s near ten minute running time is fluid throughout, showcasing delicate motifs and organic designs. Mystical yet emotive, these aesthetics are backed by a warm, pulsating groove, underpinning the track and translating it’s spiritual message to the dance floor. Meanwhile, the collection’s second selection ‘Songlines’ comes across a bit deeper with a more spacious groove sitting at the foundation. Smooth and dynamic, Roger’s attention to detail is once again at a premium, with evocative themes building subtly into a glowing main break that ultimately sits at emotional core of the EP. Rounding out the release is the quirkier ‘Billabong’ which once again showcases Roger’s nomadic style. Quite fresh and rhythmically buoyant, it’s also esoteric in mood and delivery, thus a fitting end to a spiritually uplifting collection from Roger. It rounds out what is a stunning debut for Higher States, with Roger crafting some of his most inspired productions to date here. Highly recommended.

Alice In Chains - Would (Sebastian Busto Unofficial Remix)

Making a mark on Proton Music on a regular occasion, GMJ and his "Mystic Sea" showed the Australian artist at his finest in late 2019. Returning to the title track, remixes come from UK and Israeli talents.

Imran Khan is a rapidly rising force in the world of underground dance music. Able to generate a beautifully original sound palette from the production tools available to him, the UK artist has shown a desire and passion to learn from his peers, understand his craft and apply new techniques to his work. Khan has subsequently amassed over a century of production credits in a three-year period that has seen him feature on a raft of high-profile imprints including Clinique, Stellar Fountain and Balkan Connection.

In addition, Particles and Proton Music have become a regular home for Khan's music with 2018's "Arrival" for the former and 2019's "Organik" and "Sunsweat" EPs for the flagship imprint in the latter half of the year. Taking "Mystic Sea" on a typically impressive new voyage, the Imran Khan remix glistens with rich a rolling groove tied to a subterranean bassline that carries the track dynamically forward. Retaining the feel of GMJ's original, a hypnotic lead riff echoes throughout while multi-textured pads fill the sonic space behind. Pulsating white-noise washes usher in a third movement as rhythm and bass take hold once more combined with melodic riff.

Following in the footprints of such luminary producers as Guy J, Khen and Guy Mantzur, Golan Zocher continues to forge his own path from his Israeli home with a growing collection of music that totals over a century of production credits. A respected DJ with a degree in audio engineering and his own Bloom Records, Zocher has found his work featured on such blue-chip labels as Pipe & Pochet, Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital. Moreover, an appearance on the "Global Entry, Vol. 1" compilation for the best-selling Sol Selectas imprint was a further notable highlight in March 2020.

Making his Proton Music debut, the Golan Zocher remix of "Mystic Sea" bristles with chunky low-slung groove that evolves gradually with pads from GMJ's original, before a powerful driving bassline takes hold. Full of brooding menace, a searing lead motif with its roots firmly in "Mystic Sea", pierces the rhythmic melange showcasing its strength at the mid-point breakdown. A rippling arpeggio adds depth in the latter stages to create a work of power, craft and technique.

Remixes from Imran Khan and Golan Zocher find GMJ taking another voyage of discovery on his "Mystic Sea".

“My Mum is currently self-isolating and painting watercolours to pass the time. She has "remixed" the EP3 ‘Road of Trials’ artwork for this release. My Dad is learning to cook...”– Russian Linesman

The Russian Linesman continues his 2020 journey and gets side-tracked halfway through his six-part ‘Monomyth’ EP series with a highly creative palette cleanser. This exciting remix project features two excellent dancefloor orientated interpretations of ‘Entering The Belly Of The Whale’ courtesy of legendary musical astronaut Patrick Prins and the dynamic studio duo, Nick Warren & Nicolas Rada.

Patrick Prins, renowned for his unique originality and diversity in sound. His sonically precise remix portfolio is extensive and includes – just scratching the surface – Sia, Daft Punk, Felix, The Doors, Björk, Pet Shop Boys, Dua Lipa and Najwa Nimri, amongst many others. A man of numerous artistic aliases, he has reinvigorated his legendary Castle Trancelott guise (whose ‘The Gloom’ on the legendary Sasha & Digweed ‘Northern Exposure’ mix comp made a huge impression on the Russian Linesman back in 1998) to create an outstanding remix. 

The Soundgarden’s electronic figurehead, Nick Warren, has re-connected with rising Argentinian superstar Nicolas Rada for their contribution to this bold remix venture. Nick’s place in the dance music halls of fame is well established and for Nicolas, the journey is still just unfolding, and their unique creative chemistry is in full flow here.

Each EP in the Russian Linesman’s ‘Monomyth’ EP series (from which this remix project has evolved)is named after the relevant part of the Hero’s Journey (referenced from Joseph Campbell’s fascinating book ‘A Hero with a Thousand Faces’. The Monomyth, or Hero's Journey, is the common template of a broad category of storytelling that involves a hero who goes on an adventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, then comes home changed or transformed. The Russian Linesman’s own unique adventure will continue soon with “Monomyth IV –Apotheosis”.

Entering The Belly Of The Whale Remixes (Loki023)

Russian Linesman - Entering The Belly Of The Whale (Nick Warren and Nicolas Rada Remix)

Jaap Ligthart makes his return on the Dutch MNL label, and this time his buddy Saléh is tagging along for the ride! The duo have joined forces one time before when they've released their 'Peak EP' on Sonic Union's Lowbit imprint in 2018 so it was about time for a refreshed collaboration.

'Kunstkruimels' is warm, groovy and dreamy. A tune that will take you on a trip to dreamland whilst wiggling your rump in the process.

The first remix comes from fellow Dutchman Deeparture (Days like Nights / Anjunabeats / This Never Happened / Songspire) who adds a healthy dose of melodic emotion with his roaring synth work.

Secondly it's Santo Adriano from Buenos Aires who pours the perfect amount of that trademark Argentinian prog flavor in the (re)mix to approach 'Kunstkruimels' from another angle.

Three quality versions here for you to choose from. Or simply embrace them all :)

Jaap Ligthart & Saléh - Kunstkruimels (Santo Adriano Black Mirror Mix)

Continuing what has been a strong collaborative partnership, Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq return to Cid Inc's Replug Records for a new EP. Based in Cordoba, Ezequiel Arias sits firmly amongst progressive music's elite, with releases on Anjunadeep, Sudbeat and The Soundgarden highlighting his discography, along with support from the genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Similarly, Nacho Ferroni and Nacho Varela aka Artfaq also hail from Cordoba and lay claim to an impressive resume, showcasing their music on Sudbeat and The Soundgarden. Having made their collaborative debut with the 'Babel' EP via Replug in February of 2019, the trio now unite once again for a much-anticipated follow-up entitled 'Aerial'.  

As progressive music continues to evolve, it's artists like Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq who continue to push the genre's creative envelope. 'Aerial' is a prime example of this with its unique contrast of rhythm and musicality. A bed of warm, rippling bass lays the foundation for a blend of meditative motifs and creamy tones. Building subtly through an evolving sheet of granular haze and timely effects, its tranquil tension comes to full fruition during the main break, before perfectly segueing into a percussive drop and driving finale. 

The second selection 'Duality' moves closer to peak time with edgier design and dramatic undertones. Pulsating and energetic, it's a creation built around tough beats, acidic rhythms and razor-sharp effects. Its relentless drive becomes infectious across the first act, perfectly setting the stage for a shift in narrative, as striking overlays highlight a cavernous break, splitting moods between the tense and emotive, eventually melting down into a dominant third act.  

The release is capped off in excellent fashion with the subversive vibes of 'Varial'. Traditional sensibilities get set aside here, as the trio marry hazy harmonics with esoteric lines over a robust and imminently groovy foundation. Tranquil and trippy in equal measure, the near two-minute centrepiece gradually heightens the senses through tasteful modulation and slow burning percussion, before getting washed away in a rush of white noise for a rhythmically charged finale.

With the 'Aerial' EP Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq add a second chapter to their creative synergy. One which continues to push the boundaries of progressive music and thus solidifying their place at the forefront of the genre's movement.

Stereo Underground has the excellence as his primary weapon and that’s what makes him a
perfect fit for Lost & Found, the groundbreaking label run by Guy J. This cutting-edge Tel
Aviv-based producer, composer and educator is one of the most in-demand artists on the
progressive house and melodic techno scene today. His forward thinking instrumentals speak
louder than words and his new richly expressed release is a magnificent three-part suite
running almost twenty-five minutes. Sweeping synthesizers alternate with synthetic
percussions, and multiple hypnotic lines weave in and out as dramatic shifts in ambiance and
frequencies unfold. The result is just short of perfection. This is how it should be done!

Release Info: 
Another release, another incredible addition to the Do Not Sit On The Furniture family. Behrouz welcomes Eli Nissan to the fold with two breath-taking sonic adventures.

A longstanding member of Guy J's Lost & Found collective, Eli takes off where his debut album 'The Last Poem' left us last summer. Deep, stripped-back, contemplative house music steeped in emotion that hits you when you least expect it.

The slinky 'Ararat' sets the scene. Stirred, not shaken; there's a lithe roll in the drums and treacle-like subs as weaves of percussion dance between the weeping chords.

It's followed by 'Netanya South'. A shimmering haze of glockenspiels and marimbas, once again the Tel Aviv artists creates a sense of motion and energy. Unhurried, measured and glistening with a subdued, introspective soul. Finally 'Narkotik' sends us packing on the most hypnotic tip of the EP. Steadily growing in weight and emotional energy as the track develops into yet another sublime moment that hits you when you least expect it.

'Higher States enters the summer season by welcoming Navar to the label for his debut EP. Through releasing material on Guy J’s Lost & Found Records, the Dutch artist emerged in 2014, firmly establishing himself in the world of deep melodic house. Subsequent releases for Cid Inc’s Replug Records, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Belgian Events brand EDGE, further solidified Navar’s place amongst the genre’s elite.  Now following a remix of Eric Lune’s ‘Benji’ to begin the year, Navar presents his first original project of 2020 via Roger Martinez’s Higher States.

Spread across four tracks, Navar explores a broad spectrum of organic sensibilities on ‘High Noon’, beginning with the free-flowing tranquillity of ‘Moon At The Window’. A bed of broken beats and exotic drums sets the stage for hypno grooves and pixie-like melodies. Transcendent and glowing in equal measure, it’s fuzzed out stabs, incandescent harmonies and unpredictability showcases an artist operating at his creative peak. ‘Desert Storm’ follows suit with a similarly charming quality. Subtle shades and fragmented tones coverage as the narrative evolves, creating a contemplative yet emotive drawl which is sure to resonate on multiple levels. 

Beginning the EP’s second wave are the dulcet beats of ‘Arctic Vibez’. Spacious and smooth, it’s a piece built around warm bass tones and luminous cascades. Spiralling overlays strike at opportune moments, blanketing the robust framework onwards to a meditative finale. Rounding out the release is the title selection ‘High Noon’ which finds Navar flexing the peak time prowess of his studio repertoire. Sitting comfortably between the playful and emotive, it’s dusty percussion and bouncy arps bring texture and drive to a brilliant rhythmic theme. Tranquil tones and smooth chord changes marry for an elegant apex, ultimately putting a stamp on this sensational release. Sure to be an important piece in Navar’s discography, it’s a collection of music which further solidifies his place amongst the progressive house elite, while continuing to forge new sonic blueprints for the future.'

High Noon EP

Premiere: Navar - High Noon [Higher States]

Guy J's prolific label Lost & Found is back with another amazing release featuring Eli Nissan,
Guy Mantzur and Roy Rosenfeld. Eli is an extraordinary producer who seems capable of
dramatically expanding his artform from one project to the next. Nissan utilizes arpeggiated
scores as a basis yet he spontaneously upgrades the harmonies resulting in intelligent and
abstract soundscapes. Karnaval is formulated on a trance-inducing Calypso influenced
melody. On this timeless foundation, Eli creates a radiant harmonic piece of never-to-be-
forgotten greatness. As if that were not enough, remixes make the whole release even easier
to adore. Inspired by future technologies, Guy Mantzur wanted to create a completely
different adaptation of Nissan's original idea. Guy’s hypnotic house adaptation created a
premium remix with something of an epic feeling. Roy Rosenfeld also brought his own flavor
of electronic sounds spiced up with a huge dose of gorgeous ethno elements. The only thing
these three versions share in common is the main theme and inventive sense for
arrangement and production. Definitely worthy of your time and attention!
