Nikko.Z - Slope (Hernan Cattaneo & Soundexile Remix)

Dopamine Music returns for the labels 13th overall release and a brand new EP from East Cafe. Gabor Kaszas aka East Cafe made his first appearance on Nikko.Z's Dopamine imprint just over a month ago with his remix of Luis Bondio's 'Imaginarium'. The Hungarian producer remains one of the most underrated talents in electronic music. His productions are always incredibly rich in groove, texture and musicality. East Cafe's new EP for Dopamine is entitled 'Liebesleid' and it comes with two brand new original productions along with remixes from Stas Drive and Erich Von Kollar. The 'Liebesleid' original is a brilliant peak time progressive house cut with an incredible energy. The tracks immense drive is evident early on with rolling beats and an escalating atmospheric tension that has a nice angelic ting to it. This leads to the introduction of a floor rocking bass line which pushes the energy even higher in conjunction with a great complement of drums. The track peaks with long atmospheric sweeps descending over the piece while subtle melodic accents and wicked rhythmic tones further entice your senses. This is quite simply the most epic piece of electronic music that East Cafe has ever written and it should be an absolute smash on the peak time floors out there. The first remix of 'Liebesleid' comes from Stas Drive who is making his first appearance on Dopamine. The Ukrainian producer has been delivering amazing productions over the course of 2013 with releases on DAR, Sangria and Lowbit. His 'Liebesleid' interpretation has already been played by Hernan Cattaneo on his Resident Delta FM radio show and looks to be Stas Drive's most elaborate composition to date. Stas has taken all those incredible elements from East Cafe's original and reworked them into a trippy, hypnotic masterpiece that's perfect for today's contemporary dance floors. Haunting vocal elements, intoxicating rhythms, ethereal melodic sections and swirling atmospheres make this a production to get truly lost in. An inspiring creation from Stas Drive. The second and final interpretation of 'Liebesleid' comes from Erich Von Kollar who is also making his debut on Dopamine. The Hungarian producer is one of the owners and founders of Stellar Fountain Records and his productions have appeared on great imprints like: 3rd Avenue, Proton and Balkan Connection. Erich is also a well established DJ as he's been a resident on Proton Radio and Digitally Imported for some time now. For his 'Liebesleid' remix Erich has delivered a superb complement to the previous versions with a deeper and more atmospheric interpretation. A well shaped bass line adds some wicked character and funk while the reworked vocals add a wispy hypnotic trail which flows effortlessly through the production. The composition gradually builds over the first half until the introduction of a glassy synth lead at the 3:30 mark raises the sensory stimulation two-fold. The refreshing and somewhat twisted lead then shapes itself through an exhilarating climax that goes down as one of Erich's most unique creations to date. The second original 'Ashes of Time' closes the EP out with a rich and musical vibe. The sultry broken beats, soft melodic undertones and undulating bass stabs create the prefect prelude before the chunky groove receives its full complement of beats. The funky foundation is a Sunday morning back room dream while the enchanting melodies and wind-swept harmonies provide the perfect emotional content for your future sunrise sessions. A perfect close to a stellar EP from East Cafe.

East Cafe - Liebesleid

The 19th release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music sees Dale Middleton returning to the label for his third appearance. The UK producer helped launch Dopamine with a remix of the labels first release from Nikko Z in late 2012. Dale followed that up with an incredibly prolific 2013. As the year is drawing to a close Dale's discography now includes appearances on Sound Avenue, Perspectives, DAR and Afterglow. Dale's first single for Dopamine is entitled 'Daylight Darkness' and it comes with remixes form Progress Inn and Daneel.
Dale's UK house sound has become more and more refined this year and 'Daylight Darkness' might be the ultimate musical culmination of that. The UK producers pristinely polished beats seem to have an extra bounce here and the warm walls of sub bass create a wonderful harmonic underbelly. Angelic vocal pads and gleaming electronics accent the energetic groove as a larger atmospheric presence begins to enter the composition. These melodious synths cast a wonderful harmonic sheen which sees the piece reach a dynamic conclusion that goes down as one of Dale's best musical productions of the year. 
The first remix on the release is from the hugely up and coming Progress Inn. The Australia based duo have quite a unique thing going at the moment. Their 'Currents' EP (on 3rd Avenue) was one of the freshest sounding releases of the summer season and they continue to knock out impressive remix projects as 2013 comes to a close. For their 'Daylight Darkness' interpretation Progress Inn have provided a deep, dubby rework that complements the original perfectly. Delicate hypnotic themes and a warm funkiness combined with an effortless flow make this an ideal warm-up or back room tune.
The final remix on the release is provided by Daneel who is making his first appearance on Dopamine. The Argentinean producer has been a long time favourite of Hernan Cattaneo who has supported a long line of Daneel's bootleg productions in his live sets, radio shows and charts. For his 'Daylight Darkness' remix Daneel has crafted a spacey progressive interpretation. Trippy electronics and a deeply rooted funkiness combine with the understated themes from the original and carry the track to the main break. The drop showcases some subtle musicality which adds a marvellous touch of class. The bubbly bass textures, celestial vocal pads and panning effects are an absolute delight here and set up a strong melodic conclusion for the tracks second act.

Dale Middleton - Daylight Darkness (Original Mix)

Maze 28 pres. Futura City - Next Day Before (Ricky Ryan & M28 Interpretation) - EGR045

 Moments, the acclaimed label, presents its nineteenth edition with a two-track release that continues the distinctive artistic vision. Spanning over fifteen minutes, the musical material unites label head and award-winning producer Guy Mantzur with Kamilo Sanclemente, the celebrated DJ and electronic music producer from Cali, Colombia. Their collaboration invites discerning listeners into a refined and immersive auditory journey.

The opening track, Nectar, delivers a brisk and vigorous rhythm anchored by a Giorgio Moroder-inspired bassline. A textured atmosphere unfolds over a classic house chord sequence, gradually expanding into an uplifting and psychedelic arrangement. This progression culminates in a dynamic climax crafted to ignite the dance floor with a surge of energy.

The second track, The Future is in the Past, built on similar aesthetic foundations, introduces a more tempered intensity. Its transcendent tone, reaching a peak in the final third, evokes the feeling of cinematic space exploration. True to its title, the piece merges historical echoes with forward-looking sound design.

This release captures the ethos at the heart of the label: Moments can pass you by if you don't recognize them!

► Release Info:

A returning artist to the Meanwhile catalogue, EMPHI builds on his growing support and popularity with a brand-new twin-track EP in the form of "Walk With Me / Research Myself".

Hailing from the Swedish capital, EMPHI has lit up the world of Progressive House in the first half of the 2020s with his "tracks filled with vibrant percussion and anthemic melodies." Able to point to a growing number of blue-chip labels that have featured his work, Kasey Taylor's Vapour Recordings, Alex O'Rion's Solis Records, as well as the number 1 selling Mango Alley and iconic Balance Music, have all played host to EMPHI's production talent since a 2020 debut on Odd One Out.

Meanwhile has also been a key component in seeing the Stockholm resident soar to new heights. A pair of tracks have featured on the "Meanwhile Excursions" series with "The Box" on July 2022's Vol. 2 and "Azur" on Vol. 3 a year later. Now returning for a third appearance and a full solo EP, "Walk With Me" is propelled forward by a deep and penetrating kick. At the same time, a fizzing percussive top-line of hats and shakers provides the backdrop for a hypnotic bassline groove to anchor a series of sweeping, stereo-panned effects and vocal loop to flow seamlessly across the 7-minute piece. A catchy lead motif then provides melodic interest as it filters its way through proceedings from the mid-point onwards and into a stripped-down break. Building once more, the final movement explodes into a cadenced square wave synth that cuts through the mix with sumptuous pads adding to the soundscape.

Partner track, "Research Myself" immediately comes alive with a delicious head-shaking rhythmic pattern that creates a call and answer sequence with subtle synth placement. A chorus of hi-hats and shaker patterns adds further to the dancefloor arrangement as exquisitely placed slow attack chords and delicious effects create a hypnotising sonic collage. Rising and falling with immaculate ease, the track contains all the hallmarks of the EMPHI production skillset in a seething dancefloor gem.

Journeying to new frontiers on a voyage of self-discovery, EMPHI reaches new heights with "Walk With Me / Research Myself".

Tracklist:
01. Björk - Army Of Me (Emi Galvan Remix)

Release Info:
Our latest free download welcomes Emi Galvan back for a much-anticipated rework of Björk’s timeless classic ‘Army Of Me’. Originally released in 1995 as part of the Icelandic artist’s landmark album Post, the track quickly became one of her most recognizable works, praised for its industrial edge and powerful vocal delivery. Nearly three decades later, ‘Army Of Me’ continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, making it a natural choice for reinterpretation on today’s progressive stage.

Argentinean DJ and producer Emi Galvan has consistently defied expectations throughout his much-lauded decade-long career. Through the success of early tracks like 2016's ‘Taking Over’ and ‘Universe’, the Buenos Aires resident emerged into one of the progressive scene’s most promising talents. A rich musical background with time spent in rock bands playing guitar and singing gave Emi’s electronic compositions a measurable creative edge. This elusive sound did not go unnoticed as he quickly earned the praise of genre tastemakers Cid Inc, Eelke Kleijn, Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren; while landing career-defining releases via Balance, Sudbeat and The Soundgarden. Also an accomplished DJ, Emi’s long undulating sets have seen him delight crowds across the globe, with his unique blend of melody and rhythm placing him amongst Argentina’s most in-demand electronic artists.

Tested extensively in his own sets over recent months, Emi’s remix of ‘Army Of Me’ has already been supported by Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Sebastien Leger, Eli Nissan and Henry Saiz among others. Staying true to the haunting intensity of the original while reimagining it for today’s dance floors, the Argentine’s version strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation. As one of the most requested IDs from his live performances this year, we’re thrilled to now offer Emi Galvan’s interpretation of Björk’s ‘Army Of Me’ as an exclusive free download. Enjoy.

Premiere: Tantum, Hyunji-A - Keep My Letters (Simon Vuarambon Remix) [Keep Me Letters]

The tenth edition of the Early Morning label stands as both a milestone and a statement of intent. In just a single year, its founder has reshaped the underground dance music landscape with a catalog that redefined the possibilities of the genre. This latest release features two new pieces that together form a tightly woven conceptual work spanning nearly seventeen minutes.

Guy J has built his reputation on reinvention. Each release feels less like a continuation of his past and more like a step into uncharted terrain. On the opening track, Worlds Apart, he fuses an emotive core with intricate sound design and spatial experimentation, leading listeners into liminal states where consciousness and subconsciousness blur. Despite its cerebral qualities, the piece never loses its pulse, the steady momentum that keeps it firmly anchored to the dancefloor.

True to the label’s name, this is music designed for dawn, for moments of release after a long night, for embraces on crowded floors, for the intangible bonds that form through shared experience.

The second track, Surreal, pushes further into abstraction. While echoes of early trance, a genre that shaped Guy J during his formative years, are evident, the piece reframes those influences through a progressive, hypnotic, and technologically refined lens. It is this ability to blend memory with innovation that distinguishes Guy J from his peers, offering listeners not just music but a reimagined space in which sound itself becomes an act of discovery.

Nikko Z's Dopamine Music returns after two stellar releases to close out 2012 with their first release of 2013. Indian producer Vinayak A has long been one of his country's most recognizable artists  and over the course of 2012 he really staked his claim as one of the genre's most unique and exciting producers. At year's end he had a string of amazing releases on Sound Avenue, Mesmeric, Festival Lounge and Proton's highly influential Compiled & Mixed Series. After a brilliant remix on Andrew K's Vise Versa Music to begin the year Nikko Z & Dopamine Music are pleased to present Vinayak A's first single of 2013 entitled 'You May Sit and Wonder' which comes with remixes from Luke Porter, Rich Curtis and Rikesto.
Vinayak A's original begins with a rich atmospheric intro that's full of washed out bells, eerie vocal pads and most of all a captivating vibe that draws the listener in and builds anticipation as a result. When the kick drops a wicked vocal hook and phasing hypnotic elements form around the groove for a warm surge of momentum. The hazy bells from the intro soon return along with additional vocal accents that lead the track into the main breakdown. The drop presents a big build with a tension filled rise complete with a warped and brilliantly designed climax that reveals the warm, pulsating groove once more. The track concludes with Vinayak A's deeply entrenching atmospherics and driving techy rhythms which should be an absolute smash on the dance floor.  
The first remix is provided by Luke Porter who is making his debut appearance on Dopamine Music. The Australian (but currently UK based) producer continued dropping elite level productions in 2012 with releases on Eelke Kleijn's Outside The Box Music, Baires Records and Lowbit. Luke's gig schedule for the year was highlighted with an appearance at Fire, London for Bedrock's Anniversary's party which went down as one of the clubs most successful nights of the year. For his 'You May Sit and Wonder' interpretation Luke has crafted another peak time construction that has Hernan Cattaneo written all over it. In taking the amazing elements from Vinayak A's original and putting an even more hazy, poignant spin on them Luke has delivered an emotionally charged progressive techno bomb that goes down as one of this best productions to date.
The second remix comes from another Australian producer Rich Curtis who also enjoyed immense success in 2012. Rich Curtis closed out the year with one of his biggest releases to date in the form of "Lower Your Voice' on the newly formed sister label of 99percent called RELEASE. The Oliver Lieb remix received festival play from Sasha and the Pig & Dan remix enjoyed an extended stay in the Beatport Techno chart. Add to that an appearance on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat label earlier in the year and by all accounts Rich would have to be considered amongst the genres elite producers. as 2013 begins. Rich's 'You May Sit and Wonder' interpretation proves to be a great complement to the package as it comes with his exceptionally unique brand of progressive tech house. Filled with quirky hooks, a cavernous low end and spacious pads the piece rumbles towards the main break. Here a sequence of  smooth chord changes and flickering atmospherics create the perfect harmonious interlude which sets the stage for an epic conclusion. 
The final remix on the package comes from Rikesto who is also making his Dopamine debut here. Ricardo Espinel aka Rikesto hails from Columbia and he first came to our attention when he was announced as one of the finalists in Bedrock's Guy J 'Azimuth' Remix contest. His discography now includes appearances on Baires, Balkan Connection, Aegyptia and Iboga. His 'You May Sit and Wonder' interpretation is his first new production of 2013 and he's gotten the year off to a great start. Rikesto has delivered a progressive techno rocker that's filled with ample amounts of peak time atmosphere. The chugging groove, driving drums and spacey electronics lay down the perfect framework as the track reaches its heart. The emotional peak of the record comes as a smooth sequence of soft melodic keys adds a wonderfully serene vibe which softens the relentless groove just a touch and should provide some sizable dance floor magic as a result.

Vinayak^A - You May Sit And Wonder (Luke Porter Remix)

Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music returns for their 5th release which follows two hugely successful projects from Vinayak A and Dark Soul Project. Anthony Yarranton first came to our attention with his initial studio productions that came courtesy of Baroque Records and Hyline Music. Earning support from Paul Oakenfold, Dave Seaman and Flash Brothers Anthony's production career got kick started early on and has continued to flourish. Subsequent releases on Armada, Axon, Lowbit, Stripped and Vapour solidified Anthony's place amongst the progressive house elite and he continues to push his unique DJ style on iheartradio, Frisky and Proton. Anthony's debut EP for Dopamine is entitled 'Yen' and it comes with two brand new original productions. 

The title cut begins with a deep, sultry groove that's accented with some soft late night tones and spacious drum elements. Wavering hypnotics, soft vocal stabs and warm bass tones build the groove to a nice momentous roll. The smooth flow and soft atmospheric backdrop are captivating to say the least and makes for a real late night bomb that's ideal for a broad range of DJs from Deep House, House and Progressive House.

The companion piece 'Camels' presents a similarly wicked deep mood. Rooted with a warm, fat kick and a subtle but haunting atmospheric back drop 'Camels' lays down an enchanting groove at the outset. As the composition builds unique instrumentation combined with rhythmic tones and subtle vocal pads complement the charming groove perfectly. An impactful vocal wail serves as a unique transition where the atmosphere drops out and the intoxicating groove is revealed once more for a great conclusion to the record. Two amazing productions from Anthony who shows his remarkable studio chops by going even deeper here.
