Manual Selections - Part 1

Deep Strong Longing (feat Els van Peppen)

Antoine Pete - Nowhere

Glint [Minimal Groove Concept]

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.

Mystery Dancer

01 Niceshot - Mystery Dancer (Original Mix ) [Auditen Music] Preview

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Dowden and Adrian Roman to the label for their debut single. The former sits as one of Canada's premiere progressive house talents, having earned the support of top international DJs such as Armin Van Buuren, Guy Manztur and John OO Fleming, while finding a home on Beatfreak, Soundteller and JOOF Recordings.
The latter, hailing from Spain boasts a similarly impressive resume with releases on Asymmetric Recordings, Beatfreak and Uner's Solar Distance. Having worked together once previously on DJ Zombi's Beat Boutique, Dowden and Adrian now debut on Clubsonica with 'White Rain', alongside remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Simos Tagias.

Beginning with the original mix its clear the duo's creative synergy has only grown since their first collaborative effort. Tough beats, clattering drums and an ominous effects narrative begin the seven-minute journey. Senses heighten as astral synths and hypnotic arps unite across a foreboding backdrop. Anticipatory and tense, the main break saturates your senses with phasing noise, before a bed of sizzling electronics sparks a timely drop and thrilling finale.

The first interpretation of 'White Rain' is provided by Dmitry Molosh who makes a welcome return to the label. Having made his Clubsonica debut in 2016 with a contribution to the labels ADE Sampler, the Belarus native has since gone on to provide two additional singles while also showcasing his music on Cid Inc's Replug Records, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Nick Warren's Hope Recordings. Now following a remix of Quivver's 'Forest Moon', Dmitry returns to Clubsonica with a powerful rendition of 'White Rain'. Backed by a chunky, house inspired groove, Dmitry has carved out a strong foundation, complemented with rhythmic pulses and percussive drive. Club friendly in design yet hypnotic in delivery, it's fragmented motifs and hopeful overlays slowly engulf the framework, eventually carrying the piece into an emotive break. As the groove strips down, harmonic phrases converge, opening up for moments of reflective warmth, before a rush of drums shifts energy into a groovy finale.

Providing the second and final interpretation of 'White Rain' is Simos Tagias returns to the label for his second appearance. As one of the most recognized names in progressive house, the Athens resident has showcased his music on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Cid Inc's Replug Records. Having made his Clubsonica debut in 2018 with a well received remix of Armandhe's 'Ozadya', Simos now returns with a peak time take on 'White Rain'. Taking a cue from the original while adding a techno state of mind, the Greek artist carves out a dynamic groove adorned with astral sonics, firing drums and fresh rhythmic themes. Devilish stabs and cosmic arps continue to push momentum forward, before melting down into a cavernous break. Emotive yet tense, the one-minute interlude is a delight, with it's mind-bending modulation and methodical build ending in a trail of sonic decay and striking re-entry. It caps off a hugely successful project from Dowden and Adrian Roman, one which makes for a unique release and further solidifies Clubsonica's place amongst progressive music's elite labels.

For the very late first release of this hectic year 2020, Bardo Records welcomes the returning artist Ben Tov, who takes us on a path of bass, beats and their echoes, all with deep texture of melody. The meditative repetitions bring the listener back to the much needed place he’s been before, with reoccurring patterns creating a nostalgic loop of no escape.

The release also features a remix from another one of Bardo’s favorite – Kustikov. He brings a heavier, darker feel to the original, sublimed with the hypnotic atmosphere one can get lost into.

K Loveski makes his return on Francesco Pico's Magnitude Recordings label with two delightful progressive house cuts.

'Everybody Is Someone's Model' already marks the fourth appearance of the seasoned Russian producer after his collab 'Broh Canville EP' with Ewan Rill, his solo release 'Baurro / Fara' and his remix for GuyRo's 'El Murciano'.

Both 'Everybody Is Someone's Model' and 'Blaugamma' are intelligent and chunky progressive house rollers as we've come to expect from K Loveski. Pure quality and expected to gain a lot of traction from the usual suspects in the scene.
