Release Promo Review

Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes LADS to the label for their debut EP. Hailing from Germany and South Africa respectively, LADS is an amalgamation of two technical creatives. Luc Angenehm and Deep Suite combine their strengths to bring you a unique trademark sound filled with emotion and variety, underpinned with an unmistakable LADS groove. Conceptualized in 2017, the duo found success in relatively short order, choosing their projects wisely and building a discography with releases via Akbal Music, Lost and Found, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Sound Avenue. Now adding Movement Recordings to that esteemed list, LADS debut on the Greek imprint with Vorfreude', alongside remixes from Alex O'Rion and Ruben Karapetyan.

Never bound by conventional genres, LADS flex their borderless production chops on the lead selection Vorfreude'. Fuelled by rhythm and groove, it's muscular foundation and dark undertones set an ominous yet mystical vibe early. Creamy tones dance across the framework as the first act evolves, eventually giving way to an array of devilish effects and layers of perfectly manicured percussion. The second of two breaks melts down to an icy drawl, perfectly setting the stage for emerging arps to work their magic on wards through a powerful drop and heady finale. The companion piece Zeitgeist' is equally impressive with it's deeper drive and unpredictable tonality, the latter of which ultimately forms the backbone of this thrilling journey. Wispy effects, percussive flurries and timely modulation segue into the main break, shifting the narrative further into esoteric territory. Sitting comfortably in an ethereal yet thought provoking space, arpeggiated fragments percolate across the interlude, elevating tension before dropping out into a groovy final movement.

The lone interpretation of Vorfreude' is provided by Alex O'Rion who returns to the label. As one of the Netherlands most highly regarded artists, the Nijkerk resident has found favour with progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and Cid Inc, while finding a home on Anjunabeats, Replug, Sudbeat Music and The Soundgarden. Having made his label debut in July of last year with the chart topping Blue', Alex now returns to Movement with a groovy rendition of Vorfreude'. Taking a cue from the original while adding a progressive state of mind, the Dutch artist carves out a warm buoyant groove adorned with firing percussion and fresh rhythmic themes. Esoteric chord changes provide a unique emotional response across the first act, as bubbly arps and creamy effects create a bridge into the main break. Warm and compelling, the centrepiece is a sensory delight, with its poignant air, impassioned overlays and classy build ending in an understated crescendo and joyous re-entry.

Vorfreude

PREMIERE: LADS - Vorfreude (Alex O'Rion Remix) [Movement Recordings]

| PREMIERE: Hobin Rude - 33rd (Ric Niels & Dowden Remix) [Mango Alley] |

Beloved for his combination of groove and melody, Orsen returns to Cid Inc’s Replug Records for a new artist showcase. Hailing from the UK, but currently calling Austria home, Orsen has been one of his country’s premiere progressive house producers for the better part of a decade. On the strength of early tracks such as ‘Look Twice’ and ‘Gyre’, Orsen forged a relationship with Replug which has seen him develop into one of the label’s core artists, while also operating as its manager and A&R. Noted for his meticulous detail and timeless dance floor productions, Orsen's craft has continued to evolve since his 2015 debut, making each one of his creations an absorbing experience. Genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J have been steadfast with support along the way; while Balance, Mango Alley and Proton Music have also served as home’s for Orsen’s elusive sound. Now, following an eighteen month hiatus, Orsen returns to his comfortable home of Replug with a much-anticipated three-track showcase entitled ‘Night Visions’.

Orsen’s craft shines through vividly on EP opener and title selection ‘Night Visions’. With a saga-like story to tell, its looping hypnotism and smooth rebounding rhythms are cleverly coaxed, making for a powerful club track that splits time between the energetic and emotive. Not without grandiose flair; it’s a big, bold and magnificent break which sits at the core of the journey, flowing through percolating arps and retro-overlays, tactfully building tension as waves of drums spearhead a pulsating finale.

The space-dance foray 'Afterlight' follows and further cements Orsen's dancefloor minded ethos. Its neo-saccharine drive is anchored by rocketing beats and percussive rides, tastefully building to a wild-eyed intensity of prismatic arps and soaring synths. With an energy that exudes confidence, Orsen pulls from his expansive repertoire as the main break takes shape, infusing shimmering synth swagger with warm key-changing basslines for the ultimate dancefloor rush.

Rounding out the release and sitting on a modern progressive perch of its own are the fresh aesthetics and eager optimism of ‘Hope'. Here, Orsen’s pristine design and dreamlike elegance conjure up utopian visions, while a bed of pulsating beats and swaying percussion provide a bridge into a thoughtful second act. Further revealing Orsen’s creative attitude, the feel-good interlude breaks into a rich textural rain of melodic colour, one where euphoria awaits with arms raised and eyes closed.

Operating at the peak of his creative powers, Orsen continues to impress with his latest Replug offering, a three-track showcase where his melodic acumen is clear and gripping throughout.

Release Date : 2023-10-13

BAU_HAUS, the experimental, creative sibling to Renaissance, continues in its quest to pick the freshest musical fruits. This month the label returns to Israel, who are incubating another exciting talent - IDOS.

With just 4 releases to his name, BAU_HAUS are firmly ahead of the curve with IDOS; the Renaissance HQ immediately impressed by the mature, yet infectious style of the EP. From title track ‘Celico’, to the acid-funk of ‘Everybody Dancing’ or retro, 90’s vibe’d ‘Keep Moovin’’, all point to an artist who’s firmly come of age in a very short space of time. Check it!

PREMIERE : IDOS - Everybody Dancing [BAU_HAUS]

Since April 2020, Meanwhile has consistently shone a spotlight on the Progressive House scene with an ever-ambitious series of releases. Focusing on a dazzling array of impressive and innovative global artists, GMJ & Matter’s high-flying imprint witnesses another significant milestone. Celebrating its 50th release after a debut in the pandemic hit world of April 2020, Meanwhile returns to its Australian roots and an iconic figure in the progressive house scene as Jamie Stevens showcases “Mad Bells / Kanlan”. 

A legendary figure with more than two decades experience in the underground dance scene, Jamie Stevens requires no introduction to the Meanwhile cognoscenti. A winner of two ARIA awards with his band, Infusion, the Australian star has seen a career continue to flourish in an ever-shifting industry with his constantly evolving sound. Overseeing almost 450 production credits, Stevens’ continuing presence at the pinnacle of electronic music has found his work signed to a plethora of high-profile imprints that include Bedrock, Selador, Lost & Found and Balance Music amongst them. 

Finding a home on Meanwhile courtesy of June 2022’s 3-track “Circles” and remixes for Roger Martinez and GMJ himself, Jamie Stevens returns with a spell-binding twin-track offering. 

“Mad Bells” is a typically smooth and impressive offering with its pounding beat and off-beat hi-hat pattern. Subtle percussive elements gradually make their entrance to create a rolling groove, before a swathe of melodic elements bring the track to life. Gloriously effected vocal cuts span the stereo spectrum with ease before a huge 16th note bassline enters the fray in dominant, club-friendly fashion. Building with mesmerising intensity, glassy keys and chord progressions add to the aural landscape to create another transcendent piece from the Jamie Stevens studio. 

Partner track, “Kanlan”, continues the sumptuous palette of sounds as a pulsating bassline sits alongside heavy kick and ticking percussive top-line. An immaculate array of melodic characters is introduced at regular intervals as they wax and wane against the hypnotic bass and rhythmic characters. A stripped-back breakdown adds to the majesty as a new sustained bassline makes its play with a shimmering cast of synths and effects in attendance, before the pace is picked up once more with familiar phrases and a stunning cadenced pan-pipe effect in the third movement. 

Creating a superb musical diptych redolent in a rich and charismatic sonic narrative, Jamie Stevens excels with “Mad Bells / Kanlan”.

Rhythmic Reverie: Exploring Pandhora's Captivating ‘Choices’

In a world where life often confronts us with challenging decisions, French duo Pandhora has ventured deep into the human psyche to craft their latest release, ‘Choices’. This three-track EP encapsulates the emotional turmoil of facing life-altering choices when neither option appears perfect, and yet, one must push forward through the pain.

The original track, ‘Choices’, is a Melodic Techno gem that effortlessly combines progressive beats with powerful, emotionally charged vocoded vocals. From the very first beat, listeners are drawn into a sonic journey that takes them on a rollercoaster ride of self-reflection and introspection. The duo skillfully blends intricate melodies with a driving rhythm that keeps the listener hooked from start to finish. The emotional depth conveyed through the vocals adds an intriguing layer of introspection to the track, making it a standout piece in the Melodic Techno genre.

Rafael Cerato's remix of ‘Choices’ takes the original in an entirely new direction. His Indie Dance rendition infuses the song with a groovy and dynamic energy that makes it nothing short of a dancefloor banger. Cerato's remix injects a fresh vitality into the track, making it impossible to resist the urge to move. As the remix unfolds, listeners are greeted with infectious beats and a pulsating rhythm that adds a whole new dimension to the emotional core of ‘Choices’. Cerato's ability to transform the track while retaining its essence is a testament to his prowess as a remixer in the electronic music scene.

Besides all of this magic, Iorie's remix of ‘Choices’ takes a hypnotic and introspective approach, providing a stark contrast to the original. The downtempo beats create a mesmerizing atmosphere that draws the listener into an andino-trance-like state. The growly bass adds the necessary depth and intensity to the remix, creating an unforgettable immersive sonic experience. Iorie's reinterpretation of ‘Choices’ showcases the versatility of the track, proving that it can be appreciated in various moods and settings. His ability to craft a remix that delves deep into the listener's psyche is a testament to the Berlin producer’s unique style and talent.

‘Choices’ EP stands out as a testament to electronic music's ability to convey powerful emotions and narratives. Each track in this release offers a unique perspective on the complexities of life's choices. Pandhora's ability to evoke such raw emotions through their music solidifies their position as trailblazers in the electronic music scene.

Premiere: Juan Deminicis - Two Walls [Proportion]

Kamilo Sanclemente returns with a fully-fledged 4-track EP. Joining him are three of his Colombian countrymen to deliver one of the more dynamic EPs we've released to date.

Mauro Aguirre joins Kamilo on 'Essence', a driving workout that makes its intentions clear from the opening beat. Simplicity is key here: the deep two-finger bass underlines an analogue Giorgio Moroder-style synth carrying determined indie dance drums. The intensity is undeniable. But once the clouds clear in the breakdown, an absolute blissful melody appears like a rainbow to clear the senses. Approach with caution; this is a dancefloor bomb.
