The extensive and vivid musical palette of Blood Groove & Kikis is fully revealed on "Wonderland", their thrilling debut artist album. Over the last few years, the acclaimed Latvian duo have received global recognition for their work — ranging from peak-hour progressive trance to deep house — from the industry's leading producers and DJ's. You can now typically hear their latest tracks on the world's leading radio programs. In spite of this success, they continue to write visionary tracks, refusing to compromise their intelligent, deeply emotive, and exceedingly "musical" brand of electronica.

The listener needs to look no further than the album's opener, "Communication", to appreciate the broad range of sounds and genres that Blood Groove & Kikis continue to infuse into their work. The downtempo, world-music-inspired "Communication" intensely crescendoes, but never fully resolves, as if to fairly suggest that the "catharsis" is still to come. The second track in the album, "Velvet", is an homage to the "classic" melodic progressive house sound, for which Silk is most known. Blood Groove & Kikis offer their own stamp on this style, with additional lead layers and numerous side melodies. The lead chords of "Sweet Harmony" and "Chordplay" are rapturous; these cuts are followed by one of the album's standout tracks, "Sunlight", which perhaps best exemplifies the uplifting spirit of Blood Groove & Kikis's work.

The album pivots slightly on "Raindrops", which showcases the duo's deeper side, on which they have also built an international reputation. A sexy, late-night groove and funky guitar riff make this cut especially memorable. The title cut, "Wonderland", is presented next, featuring an almost overwhelmingly soulful and moving vocal by Richard J Aarden. The album's first single, "Free Like A Bird", is next in line, featuring first-time Silk contributor Victoria Ray; her heavenly voice perfectly suits the floating-on-air quality of Blood Groove & Kikis's instrumental.

The final quarter of the album features more exciting collaborations. Indonesian phenom LTN joins forces with Blood Groove & Kikis on "Both", which is also the subject of our most recent remix contest. Another renowned artist, Matt Fax, provides support on "Departure", the album's penultimate track. Both of these collaborations showcase the duo's more trance-influenced side and feature powerful lead themes, coupled with dancefloor-friendly grooves. Last but not least, Richard J Aarden makes his second vocal contribution on the ebullient "Afloat". The title alone is perhaps the most accurate one-word description of the listener's mood throughout the "Wonderland" journey. The album, as a whole, is a remarkable artistic achievement by Blood Groove & Kikis, master manipulators of mood and melody.

▼ Release Tracklist:
01 Sound Quelle & Max Meyer - Toscana (Original Mix)
02 Sound Quelle & Max Meyer - Toscana (Miroslav Vrlik Remix)
03 Sound Quelle & Max Meyer - Toscana (Aleksey Sladkov Remix)

Sound Quelle has risen to the highest ranks of our label roster this year, courtesy of an array of magnificent electronic music releases, ranging in genre from deep house to trance. Featured initially on our "Arrival 02: Destination Indonesia" compilation, "Toscana" is an electrifying anthem by Sound Quelle, in collaboration with Max Meyer. We're thrilled to finally present this track in its full (DJ-friendly) form, alongside two brand new remixes by the wonderful Miroslav Vrlik and Aleksey Sladkov.

The Original Mix kicks off with an aggressive rhythm and rapturous chord sequence. As the energy crescendoes, the layered chords are joined by lush side melodies and ethereal pads. The emotion truly reaches its zenith in the breakdown and subsequent drop, where celestial vocal stabs punctuate an earth-shattering groove.

Miroslav Vrlik, who recently contributed to our "Silk Royal Showcase 05" compilation with the breathtaking "Rhythm Of The Guitar", offers an equally euphoric and exhilarating interpretation. His mix centers on an 1/8 note chord sequence, as well as a variety of atmospheric flourishes, which infuse the mix with a cinematic feel. In the break, an unforgettable new melody is introduced, which continues throughout the drop.

Finally, first-time Silk contributor Aleksey Sladkov makes a tremendous opening statement with his inspired interpretation. Gorgeous midrange "texture" is created through numerous lead layers, coupled with symphonic strings. With thrilling anticipation, we are finally treated to an extraordinarily beautiful climactic theme, which radiates pure joy directly into the listener's soul. Given his obvious talent for peak-hour anthems with intelligence and heart, Sladkov is definitely an artist to watch going forward.

01 Stendahl feat. Ai Takekawa - Soldiers (Original Mix)
02 Stendahl feat. Ai Takekawa - Soldiers (Manu Zain Remix)
03 Stendahl feat. Ai Takekawa - Soldiers (Four Days Remix)

Stendahl (Russia) and Ai Takekawa (Japan) team up on "Soldiers," an emotive and unique chillout tune. On remix detail, we have Dutch producers Manu Zain and Four Days, delivering downtempo and progressive house remixes, respectively.

The Original Mix takes off on a blissful note, courtesy of intriguing piano strokes and captivating sound effects. Ai's mesmerizing vocals soon enter the mix, while subtle percussion elements build underneath; the chorus proves to be a stunning aural experience when Ai's vocals shine atop the soothing soundscape.

Dutch label veteran Manu Zain provides a delicious remix, which begins with delightful background arpeggios and subtle sound effects. A rather well-structured array of percussion layers provides additional texture, as the song progresses.

Four Days delivers a strong progressive house remix, taking off with a haunting atmosphere, featuring captivating synth stabs and intriguing chord variations. The level of detail is incredibly high in this one, rendering it an enjoyable and truly extraordinary listening experience.
