A rising artist with a strong set of progressive house credentials to his name, Ric Niels returns to Particles with his "Finding Myself" EP. From his Argentinean home, over 200 production credits have come out of the Ric Niels production studio including work for the Soundgarden, Balkan Connection and Mango Alley. A 3-track EP in October 2020 saw the "Erised" EP take centre stage as Ric now returns with two new original pieces.

The "Finding Myself" title track is a fizzing percussive gem that drives forward with heavy beat while a filtered synth motif gradually comes into range. A deep bassline groove adds dancefloor prowess while a swathe of stereo-panned effects and clave top-line add intrigue. A sublime array of synth phrases enters the fray at the mid-point breakdown before the relentless groove hits the heights once again in the second half. Following the same driving rhythmic narrative, a shaker-fuelled percussion and strong grooved cadence effortlessly propel "Reasons" forward apace. A simultaneous and immaculately syncopated bassline adds weight and gravitas before a suite of emotive synth lines create tension and emotion aplenty as the track pauses for breath. Closing with the metronomic rhythmic layers of the first half, Ric Niels' talent is in full view.

A Canadian star with work signed to the likes of JOOF, Univack and Mango Alley, Dowden has been at the forefront of the progressive house scene since a debut for Yin in 2017. During that time, support has come from the likes of Soul Button, John 00 Fleming and Quivver, as Dowden now makes his Particles debut with a typically masterful reworking of "Reasons". Taking rhythmic elements from the original and transforming them with a hefty bassline groove, haunting melodic lines build in elegant fashion. Ethereal pads sweep gently across the sonic background while a searing lead cuts through the rhythmic melange like an acetylene torch. Picking up the pace once more in the second half, the Dowden remix is a powerful illustration of technique and craftsmanship.

A second remix sees another Particles debutant take their bow in the shape of Bodai. A talented DJ and producer, the Argentinean's performances in Australia, Chile and across her homeland have been coupled with a clutch of releases on the likes of Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and her own Auditen and AMITABHA labels. Supported by Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J and Eelke Kleijn, Bodai arrives on Particles with a standout reworking of "Finding Myself" which revels in a stripped back broken beat backdrop carved from the Ric Niels' rhythmic foundation. The growling bassline from the original can also be found front and centre amidst an immaculately syncopated synth line. New vocal phrasing makes its mark at the mid-point in a metronomic loop, before melodies, bass and beats combine in the second half to majestic effect.

With two new original tracks and a pair of remixes from Dowden and Bodai, Ric Niels has created a wonderful journey to "Finding Myself".

Reasons (Original Mix)

Continuing a strong start to the year, Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint welcomes Microlot back to the label for his debut EP ‘All Living Things’. Hailing from Australia, Luke Warren aka Mircolot has been a fixture of Australia’s electronic underground for the better part of a decade. Noted for his evocative textures, organic grooves and dubby rhythmic structures, Microlot's craft shines through vividly, making each one of his creations an absorbing experience. On the strength of releases for Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas, the Sydney resident made his Sound Avenue debut in 2021 with a remix of Madloch and Subnode’s ‘Utopia’, a project which would lead to a two-track showcase via label affiliate Crossfade Sounds in 2022. Now, making a welcome return to Sound Avenue, Microlot unveils the first of three sampler EP’s which will precede the release of his debut album due in November of this year.

After a strong debut with us last year, prolific Argentinian producer Paul (AR) returns to the label with Spiritual Living.

The original mix features his trademark, intricate beats and rhythms along with a haunting vocal.

The low beats mix strips everything down, emphasizing the vocal. Perfect for a set opener or downtempo set.

Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint continues a strong spring season by showcasing new interpretations of 'Three Drops of Dopamine' by about : river. Released in May of last year, the artist EP found the prolific father and son duo crafting some of their most immersive productions to date. The three-track showcase went on to receive play and support from a wide assortment of fans and industry tastemakers, ultimately cementing the Estonian outfit as one of electronic music's most inimitable duos. Now, ten months on from the EP's release, Sound Avenue invites Powel, Haen and Secretly Famous to re-imagine the project for the 2023 spring / summer season.

Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of 'Two Oceans' is Haen. Perhaps better known as Sachin Menon, the Indian artist created 'Haen' as a moniker to further explore electronic music, fusing warm tones and atmospheres with experimental elements and sounds inspired from a broad spectrum of musical genres. Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Songspire have all been vehicles for Haen's transcendent sound, while the underground's tastemakers have also chimed in with support. Also a recent contributor to Sound Avenue, Haen made his label debut in February with a well received remix of 'Journey to the Unknown' by Madloch and Subnode, a project which was quickly followed by an equally impressive take on Jean Caillou's 'Hora'. Now, continuing to build a bond with the label, Haen returns to Sound Avenue with his third remix of the year, a prophetic rendition of about : river's 'Two Oceans'. While maintaining the glowing spirit of the original, the Indian artist crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, a transcendent journey into an organic hinterland, where broken beats, shapely basslines and cross-cultural designs surface from their arcane architecture, onwards to a finale of key-changing grooves and haunting overlays.

Three Drops of Dopamine (Remixes)

about : river - Two Oceans (Haen Remix) [Sound Avenue]

"Beyond" est une plongée intime dans un paysage sonore vaporeux et émotionnel. La musique s'ouvre sur une nappe synthétique douce, comme un brouillard sonore qui s’étire lentement. Un piano électrique résonne au loin, ses notes espacées comme des pensées perdues, tandis qu’un beat lent et feutré vient s’installer progressivement, comme les battements d’un cœur fatigué.

Before the first word, there was meaning. Before sound, there was intention. This is the space where language dissolves and the unspeakable breathes, silently and persistently. Nothingness is not empty. It waits to be named.
