A long-association with Proton Music, Andre Sobota impressed once more with his outstanding "Alter Ego" EP in February 2019. With remixes of "Held Over" already finding their way to the Particles catalogues in April 2019, the EP continues to provide remix ammunition for Australian and Argentinean icons.

Matty Doyle is an artist that will be fully familiar to dance music cognoscenti under his Matter pseudonym. An Australian phenomenon, Matter has risen to the upper echelons of the underground fraternity with a vast array of original and remix production material that has catapulted him to the top of the Beatport charts on numerous occasions. Thus, work for Replug, Anjunadeep, Sudbeat and onedotsixtwo, both as solo and collaborative artist, has provided the Melbourne star with a 24-carat portfolio. 

December 2016's "Pronoia" and November 2017's "We Are Dust" have seen Matter hit the headlines on Proton Music, while co-production work with fellow Melbourne resident, GMJ, has seen the duo score a number of additional triumphs. Both solo EPs have featured with remixes on Particles before October 2018 fired "Re Entry" to success alongside Universal Harmonics. Returning to remix on the label for the first time since November 2016, the Matter reworking of "Dreamless" is typically impressive. Aptly titled, his "Dreamstates" remix is full of ethereal pads and delicate melodic motifs that revel in sumptuous delays and deep kick. A trademark pulsating bassline adds further to the track as Sobota's vocal phrasing then finds its way to the aural party in tandem with a host of additional production material from the Matter armoury.

Support from: John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Solomun and more.

"We made this track in one night a couple of years ago here in Croatia. We stayed up after the end of season party and with nothing more than a laptop, 2 pairs of headphones and a tascam field recorder, we wrote Obala. The track opens with a recording of a local band warming up and sound-checking and then slowly reveals this beautiful harp arpeggio which forms the foundation for the whole tune. For so long we thought it wasn't finished, until one day we released how perfect it is in its simple, raw form. Enjoy!"

SOE110 Circle Of Life - Dominacija (Juan Deminicis, Marcelo Dalessandro Remix)

Clubsonica Records begins the new year by welcoming Juan Demincis back to the label for a new EP. The Buenos Aires resident first appeared on the Colombian imprint in October of 2017 with his well received 'Now Is Never' EP. Long a favourite of progressive music's top tastemakers, Juan has released on the genre's finest imprints with Guy J's Lost and Found Records and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music both being regular homes for the Argentine. Now getting the new year underway in style, Juan returns to Clubsonica with 'Light Of Consciousness | Dogma' alongside remixes from Juan Pablo Torrez and Kamilo Sanclemente and Ziger.

'Light Of Consciousness' finds Juan at his creative best with a deep, brooding production that's nicely dialled for the dance floor. Punchy beats and a full, rolling groove anchor the piece, as devilish motifs, astral arps and stunning effects adorn the framework. Not without emotive moments, timely chord changes add a poignant charm as the first act progresses, building momentum with each successive loop, as a tension filled tone initiates the main break. Tasteful modulation furthers the narrative, adding anticipation before eventually melting down to a powerful drop and emotionally stirring finale. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor are the peak time grooves of 'Dogma'. Sonically charged, it's rolling low end and buzzing rhythms unite for the ultimate energy inducing foundation. Elastic stabs and wavering tones add dynamic moments, while layers of percussion continue to push momentum forward. Otherworldly effects strike at opportune moments, before a stripped down second act pushes an esoteric theme onwards to a powerful finale.

The lone interpretation of 'Light Of Consciousness' is provided by Juan Pablo Torrez and Kamilo Sanclemente. The former sits as Clubsonica's much loved label boss, having earned praise from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while landing releases on Beatfreak and Parquet Recordings. Acting as one of the label's AandR's, Kamilo Sanclemente has developed into one of progressive music's brightest stars. Much like Juan, the Cali resident is a favourite of the genre's top guard, while laying claim to releases on Einmusika, Hope Recordings and Proton Music. Perhaps most famously collaborating on an unofficial, yet hugely popular interpretation of Opus 3's seminal 'It's A Fine Day', Juan and Kamilo now bring their creative talents together once again for a stunning take on 'Light Of Consciousness'. The foreboding vibe of the original is well maintained, as a reworked groove anchors its pulsating core. Fluid and rhythmic in equal measure, a cascading motif fades to prominence, sitting against a tension filled tone, before melting down into a heartfelt break and perfectly segueing into an exhilarating final act.

Rounding out the release and providing the lone interpretation of 'Dogma' is Ziger. The Greek artist has been enjoying the best year of his career, led by his 'Faded Realm' single which launched his Eat My Hat imprint and enjoyed a month long stay a top Beatport's Progressive House Hype tracks chart. Also laying claim to 2019 releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Eleatics Records, Ziger now debuts on Clubsonica with a superb rendition of 'Dogma'. Taking a cue from the original, the energy proves to be just as palpable here. A reworked groove ripples with powerful momentum, as fiery effects and astral sonics steal the air. Piercing stabs and clustered melodies play off each other beautifully, eventually stripping down into the main break, where wispy atmospherics add further intrigue, before a tasteful roll ignites a cosmic finale. It caps off what is an incredible start to the new year for Clubsonica, with all four artists delivering some of their finest work ever.

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Gux Jimenez back to the label for a new EP. Upon making his label debut in February of 2019 with a remix of Moveme's ‘Traumtanz', the Colombian artist then went on to release his first artist EP for Clubsonica in March. The year yielded many other successes, with outings for Balkan Connection, Droid9, Juicebox Music, Soundteller Records and UV being the most notable. Now presenting his first project of 2020, the Cartagena resident returns to Clubsonica with ‘El Inicio | El Fin' alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente, Juan Pablo Torrez & Dabeat and Giovanny Aparicio.

Beginning with ‘El Inicio', Gux sets the tone of the EP with a storyboard of pulsating grooves and euphoric motifs. Anchored by a warm, redolent foundation and waves of fragmented melodies, it's an evolving atmospheric narrative which first captures your imagination. Haunting vocal choirs and trance inducing arps add perfectly to its exhilarating nature, before eventually melting down into a charming break and perfectly setting up an energetic finale. The companion piece ‘El Fin' follows suit with charged beats, rolling rhythms and joyous melodic concepts. Built around a series of tantalizing, trance inspired arps, the first act is well fashioned for peak time play. Stripping down into the main break, poignant chord changes add further fuel to its emotive core, before an unabashedly epic build sends the energy into overdrive.

The first interpretation of ‘El Fin' is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente, Juan Pablo Torrez & Dabeat. Operating from the heart of Colombia's electronic music scene, this trio of artists have collectively showcased their music on Nick Warren's Hope Recordings, Beatfreak, Parquet Recordings and UV. Beloved as their country's foremost progressive music talents, Kamilo, Juan and Dabeat now unite for a special collaborative remix of ‘El Fin'. Fluid and groovy in equal measure, its perfectly contoured foundation moves with a powerful yet buoyant drive. Fresh design qualities make for a commanding rhythm core, while pensive atmospheres add anticipatory vibes leading into the break. Processed vocals and striking tones make for a hugely impactful centrepiece, as mind bending modulation fully saturates your senses leading into a classy drop and ominous finale.

Rounding out the release and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘El Fin' is Giovanny Aparicio. Having made his Clubsonica debut in December of 2019 with a remix of Jan Dalvik's 'Mahat', the Colombian artist also released several well received collaborations with fellow countryman Kamilo Sanclemente earlier in the year. Now making a welcome return to Clubsonica, Giovanny provides a stunning rendition of ‘El Fin'. The groove gets reworked with great warmth and flow, while a complement of clattering drums, hypnotic arps and misty effects fill in the framework. Musically less pronounced, the Cali resident opts for a meditative yet powerful approach, building tension subtly across the main break though timely modulation, before smoothly segueing into a purring finale.

It caps off another impressive collection of music from Clubsonica and a welcome return to the label for one of Colombia's fastest rising stars Gux Jimenez.
