The 15 Best Progressive House Tracks Of July 2020

An artist with a rich and varied background, Mark Slee returns to Proton with his debut EP in the shape of the three-track, "Veranda". Remixes come from Australian and Argentinean stars.

A self-confessed electronic music obsessive, Mark Slee has been involved in the underground dance scene for over 20 years plus over 100 episodes of his monthly "Heron Sound" Proton Radio show. DJ performances across his San Francisco home have earnt Slee an impressive fan base, backed by performances further afield in Berlin, New York and at Burning Man, while production talent has seen music signed to Seven Villas, Suprematic and Magician On Duty with notable success coming from his own Manjumasi imprint alongside Atish. Returning to Proton Music after remixes for the likes of Oliver Lieb, Navar and Rudy, the title track is a glorious combination of deep rolling groove and evolving synth lines. Building elegantly with grooved bassline, a free-flowing plucked string ripples across "Vernada" with syncopated motifs adding depth and intrigue. "Portico" continues a penchant for intricate melodic line to coruscate across the mid-range, backed by a swathe of counterpoint phrases and analogue arpeggio that engages with varying degrees of sustain and release. A deep kick and cleverly programmed percussive line add the perfect rhythmic framework. The dulcet melodies of "Tigersden" complete the triptych with legato lead combining perfectly with syncopated chords in mid and lower frequencies tied immaculately to a strong rhythmic backdrop. Evolving in effervescent fashion, Slee's impressive synth work creates a wonderful narrative thread throughout the three pieces.

Through his MUUI production moniker, Patrick Carrera is the epitome of the successful modern music producer. Able to boast a triple century of credits to his name, the Australian born artist conjures up a unique sound that has seen his name allied to a host of blue-chip imprints that include Marc Poppcke's, Crossfrontier Audio, Eelke Kleijn's Outside The Box and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat. Always at the cutting edge of the underground dance movement, a pair of Proton Music remixes in the shape of 2014's reworking of Kobana and 2019's remix of Imran Khan, now sees MUUI returning for a third outing with a cleverly interpreted remix of "Portico". Retaining the rich melodic flow of the original and familiar arpeggiated riff sat slightly further back in the mix, emotive chord progressions add depth and soul. A ticking percussive groove and heavy beat add dancefloor credentials while a subterranean bassline adds weight and counterbalance to the brighter melodies.

Juan Deminicis requires no introduction to the Proton Music faithful. An artist constantly at the vanguard of underground dance, the Argentinean is a regular across the clubs of his homeland and throughout the Buenos Aries capital. Adored by fans and peers alike his music litters a host of high-profile imprints that include Loss & Found, Plattenbank and Sudbeat. A regular on Proton since 2013, his "Behind the Sun", "Life on the Moon" and forthcoming "Synchronicity" EPs have shaped the progressive house movement with his distinctive sound. Returning after a May 2019 remix of Michael A's "Geometria", the Juan Deminicis reworking of the title track finds the familiar backdrop of Slee's "Veranda" permeating throughout the six plus minute offering. Before long, new melodies from Deminicis' fertile imagine ripple across the breakdown and into the third movement with consummate ease while a seismic kick and offbeat percussive groove provide a dynamic rhythmic anchor.

An ever-expanding sonic horizon extends across Mark Slee's "Veranda", punctuated by colourful landmarks from MUUI and Juan Deminicis.

Mark Slee - Veranda (Juan Deminicis Remix)

Interaxxis returns to the label with fresh music for 2020. 

For the past 7 years the Argentinian duo has worn a familiar path. Sun-drenched beats, warm melodies and devilish grooves set them apart from the crowd and releases on Selador, Hope Recordings and Balance Music cement their position among a handful of South American producers with real global appeal. 

First up is ‘Bleakness’, a sombre exploration of interconnecting melodies and textures. Stripped back percussion and a rubbery low end gives rise to playful synths, pads and FX telling their melancholy tale. Next, ‘Sikker’ draws you in with its bass power. Stark, icy sonics rally against field recordings, deep melodies and machine funk bass. Finally, ‘Inside’ featuring Paula OS is trippy downtempo left turn into the afterhours; Paula’s sobering vocals working against the dubby backdrop hypnotically.

About the release
A new 2 track EP finds Clay Smith creating another sparkling musical voyage for the 78th release on @darinepsilon’s label Perspectives Digital. 
The eastern vocal phrasing in "Boom Shiva" immediately transports the listener into distant cultures and the Indian subcontinent. Quickly hitting its stride with a relentless rhythmic intent, organic instrumentation and smooth flowing melodies juxtapose against the driving beat and intricate tabla percussion. Evolving with subtle waxing and waning of the key elements, Smith has captured the essence of traditional music practices, cleverly merging them with modern electronic techniques. The result is a highly original and impressive track.

Across darkened velvet skies, "Almesian" burns brightly through the music of Golan Zocher and Greenage. Above South American and Indian continents complex constellations of sound are reflected in intricate percussive rhythms and galloping bassline. Stratified pads and filtered arpeggios glitter in deep reverberating space before "Alhena" appears. Evolving out of the same sonic matrix, a swirling and dense soundscape emerges in the night sky. A new energy formed from infinitely delayed synth lines and ethereal vocal phrases fly above seismic bassline and ticking rhythms.

Familiar melodies emerge across Gemini constellation as a new star is born. Bluum provides an unrivalled display of energy and emotion as "Alhena" charts a new course from the UK. Redolent in rich bassline dominance, new motifs provide elemental dynamism and explosive power. South America is once again the focus of attention where sultry rhythms emerge above Antrim's Cordoba. Exquisite sounds reveal themselves through ambient atmospheres and interwoven particles of noise that coalesce into new motifs and tropes; "Alhena" creates a new paradigm shift.

The Selador Showcase series climbs one rung further up the ladder to claim an impressive eleventh notch on the bedpost. 

In fact, the very ethos of a Showcase compilation is perfectly encapsulated here – seven hot new exclusive club cuts straddling genres from Afro to Melodic, Progressive to Organic, all lovingly gift wrapped and presented for your delectation. 

Indeed, whatever your predilection for House Music, we’ve got you covered here. From label lynchpin Steve Parry’s much coveted ‘Fenner’ which further strengthens his growing reputation as a top table producer to Israeli stalwart Magitman showing off his melodic credentials with the majestic ‘Mars 2020’. An interplanetary blast off of a tune. 

Newcomers Personna & Bloch then inject an electrifying youthful vibrancy into proceedings with ‘Endpoint’, already a firm favourite of Dave Seaman’s who insists ‘On Point’ may have been a more befitting title, before label favourite Athea returns to the fold with a no-nonsense heads down throbber in the form of ‘Rebel’. This is club music at its most vital. 

Next up, Berlin’s Smash TV gets deep down and dirty for the low slung groover that is ‘Freaks’, irresistible phatness of the highest order which is followed by the mysterious Mr E donning his alter ego for some serious superhero dance floor action courtesy of the beguiling ‘Lost’ and last but by no means least, Darksidevinyl & Balata combine for an Afro House anthem in the making. ‘Boohe’ is a towering representation of the genre. Tribal-tastic! 

In short, a magnificent seven that would have Bronson, Brynner & McQueen running for the hills.

Tracklist:
01. Mike Griego - Solaris (Original Mix)
02. Mike Griego - Solaris (Cid Inc. Remix)

Release Info: 
Cid Inc’s Replug Records continues a successful year by welcoming Mike Griego back to the label for a new single. The Argentinean artist and progressive music favourite highlighted 2019 with the April release of his 'Decoy' EP for the Finnish imprint. The year saw further successes with a contribution to Hernan Cattaneo's Balance Sunstrip Strip compilation, along with his well received 'Sienna' EP via Sudbeat Music. Now presenting his first original project of 2020, Mike lands back on Replug with 'Solaris' alongside a remix from Cid Inc.

In what continues to be a productive partnership, Mike delivers some of his finest work to date for Replug with 'Solaris'. Warm beats, rippling bass tones and rolling percussion set the piece in motion, as harmonic drifts and fragmented melodies encase the framework. Tranquil arps further the narrative, perfectly foreshadowing a heartfelt centrepiece highlighted by harmonic overlays and luminous tones. As the break builds, a bed of thunderous bass begins an exhilarating rise, with modulation peaking as a vocal overlay sparks a driving finale.

Returning to his esteemed imprint and providing the lone interpretation of 'Solaris' is Henri Hurtig aka Cid Inc. The Finnish artist began the year in fine style with a remix for Einmusika, before teaming up with Replug label mate Orsen for a superb rendition of DJ Zombi's 'Octopus'. Perhaps sitting as 2020's highlight however was the March release Henri's 'Citadel' EP. Also coming courtesy of Replug, the two-track offering enjoyed an extended stay in Beatport's Progressive House charts, while receiving play from Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo. Now following a remix of D-Nox & Beckers 'Bitter Rain', Cid Inc returns to Replug with a thrilling take on 'Solaris'. Electrically charged with thumping kicks and a tighter take on the groove, it’s energetic prowess beams brightly. Binding rhythmic flow with reprocessed vocals and dreamy arps makes for a sleek yet commanding first act. Colourful overlays heighten the senses as pixie-like melodies fades in and out of coherence leading into the break. Grandiose and soothing in equal measure, glowing tones highlight the centrepiece, elevating mode before getting washed away as the groove gallops towards a stirring final movement.

With ‘Solaris’ Mike Griego has added another important piece to his resume, one which gets 2020 off to a great start and continues his fruitful relationship with Cid Inc’s Replug Records.
