The extensive and vivid musical palette of Blood Groove & Kikis is fully revealed on "Wonderland", their thrilling debut artist album. Over the last few years, the acclaimed Latvian duo have received global recognition for their work — ranging from peak-hour progressive trance to deep house — from the industry's leading producers and DJ's. You can now typically hear their latest tracks on the world's leading radio programs. In spite of this success, they continue to write visionary tracks, refusing to compromise their intelligent, deeply emotive, and exceedingly "musical" brand of electronica.

The listener needs to look no further than the album's opener, "Communication", to appreciate the broad range of sounds and genres that Blood Groove & Kikis continue to infuse into their work. The downtempo, world-music-inspired "Communication" intensely crescendoes, but never fully resolves, as if to fairly suggest that the "catharsis" is still to come. The second track in the album, "Velvet", is an homage to the "classic" melodic progressive house sound, for which Silk is most known. Blood Groove & Kikis offer their own stamp on this style, with additional lead layers and numerous side melodies. The lead chords of "Sweet Harmony" and "Chordplay" are rapturous; these cuts are followed by one of the album's standout tracks, "Sunlight", which perhaps best exemplifies the uplifting spirit of Blood Groove & Kikis's work.

The album pivots slightly on "Raindrops", which showcases the duo's deeper side, on which they have also built an international reputation. A sexy, late-night groove and funky guitar riff make this cut especially memorable. The title cut, "Wonderland", is presented next, featuring an almost overwhelmingly soulful and moving vocal by Richard J Aarden. The album's first single, "Free Like A Bird", is next in line, featuring first-time Silk contributor Victoria Ray; her heavenly voice perfectly suits the floating-on-air quality of Blood Groove & Kikis's instrumental.

The final quarter of the album features more exciting collaborations. Indonesian phenom LTN joins forces with Blood Groove & Kikis on "Both", which is also the subject of our most recent remix contest. Another renowned artist, Matt Fax, provides support on "Departure", the album's penultimate track. Both of these collaborations showcase the duo's more trance-influenced side and feature powerful lead themes, coupled with dancefloor-friendly grooves. Last but not least, Richard J Aarden makes his second vocal contribution on the ebullient "Afloat". The title alone is perhaps the most accurate one-word description of the listener's mood throughout the "Wonderland" journey. The album, as a whole, is a remarkable artistic achievement by Blood Groove & Kikis, master manipulators of mood and melody.

Release description:
The duo Deepshader & Nazca (Moldova/USA) is soon ready to launch their brand new artist album on Silk Sofa. We are proud to present the first single, "Covered By The Blue Fog", which brilliantly encapsulates the sounds you can expect from their forthcoming album as a whole. On remix duty is Silk Sofa's label manager himself, Danish artist Gorm Sorensen.

The Original Mix starts off with intriguing sound effects and a mesmerizing atmosphere. Soon, gorgeous chords are introduced, as well as an incredibly lush breakbeat. Subtle piano strokes emerge in the background later, and around the middle mark, fascinating guitar riffs are introduced that suit the soundscape perfectly. The remix from Gorm Sorensen starts out with the chord riff from the original, while a mysterious cello melody lurks in the background. A subtle breakbeat emerges later, supported by a gentle piano melody. In the break, we witness hypnotizing choir elements, and soon thereafter, a number of beautiful layered cello lines play a unique and memorable theme.

Hans Zimmer - Interstellar (The Blizzard Remix)

Baby Missiles

Comin' Through

Per concepire la musica bisogna concepire il silenzio.
Marco Devalle nasce in un piccolo paese della provincia di Cuneo, artista eclettico non convenzionale.
Le prime releases si possono etichettare progressive (2011) con importanti support internazionali, dal leggendario Paul Oakenfold a Roger Shah, Markus Schulz, Mike Saint Jules. 
Il brano dei Pink Floyd - High Hopes remixato da MKT (in Free Download) ha riscosso un notevole successo, riproposto anche dall'autorevole rivista NME Magazine, nonostante le perplessità dello stesso artista.
La continua ricerca della perfezione, della dinamica, dello spazio, e l'influenza di diversi stili musicali porta ad un profondo cambiamento, un cambiamento radicato e segregato per anni nell'inconscio dell'artista, visibile solo nel 2013 con l'uscita di "The Stationary Essence Of Mobility" per Silk Music. Un EP che fa da specchio alla reale identità dell'artista: compositore, scrittore e vocalist.
La scrittura enigmatica, la selezione maniacale dei suoni, la ricerca dell'evocativo fa dell'artista un "regista" che non si accontenta di far vedere semplicemente la propria pellicola, ma solamente sequenze di essa.
