Echomen - Perpetual (Guy J Remix)

The One

Ritchie Haydn 'The One' (Mind Of Us Remix)

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.

OUT NOW: Eric Lune - Matter of Fact (Paul Angelo & Don Argento Remix) [Dopamine Music]

An artist who continues to impress with a growing portfolio of high-calibre music, Hot TuneiK returns to Proton Music with the striking twin-track "Circles of You". Remixes come courtesy of Hungarian and Argentinean stars.

DJ, producer, promoter and record label owner, Hot TuneiK has found himself at the forefront of Mexico's underground dance scene. Unforgettable Hookah showcase events and a unique brand of deep and progressive house have seen regular appearances for the likes of Balkan Connection, Sound Avenue and Particles amount to almost 300 production credits. An April 2018 EP for Proton Music shone a spotlight on the Hot TuneiK name before remixes from Lanvary and Matter continued the "Revival". Now returning, the flowing melodic lines of "Circles of You" meander enticingly before a deep beat and rich percussion filter into range. Building majestically, a simple grooved arpeggio provides another rhythmic anchor before extending in range into the third movement. White-noise washes add to the overall character in an elegant work. Partner track, "Melancolia", opens with a deep and flowing rhythm that hypnotises with its muted melodic underpinning. Weaving a magical spell, cadenced arpeggios and freeform string and key motifs are sprinkled liberally across the upper frequencies to mesmerising effect before joining forces with the sumptuous rhythm in the second half.

Hungarian duo Peter Makto & Gregory S are no strangers to success. Founders of the Truesounds Music label and DJ agency, their hard work has seen them become high-profile names at home. Simultaneously, a production career has found the duo on the catalogues of some of the finest labels that include Bondage Music, King Street Sounds and Go Deeva. September 2018's "Purple Rain" saw a full debut on Proton Music with a glorious twin-track offering and a remix of Michael A's "My Style" earlier in the year is now followed by a hypnotic reworking of Hot TuneiK. Using the arpeggio sequences found in "Circles of You" to impressive effect, Peter Makto & Gregory S have created a mesmerising remix that retains dancefloor character with chest-thumping kick and ticking percussive flavour. The coruscating patterns of Hot TuneiK's rich chord progressions add further depth in a compelling track.

A relative newcomer to the underground dance scene, Sebastian Sellares has quickly found himself as a sought-after producer under his own name and Monje moniker. With a "driving progressive house style" that has seen his work feature on Or Two Strangers, AMITABHA and PHW Elements, support has come from Hernan Cattaneo and Graziano Raffa. Now debuting on Proton Music, the Sebastian Sellares remix is an elegantly crafted affair that makes intelligent use of original components as a foundation for an array of new musical ideas to flow. The central riff from "Circles of You" plays a pivotal role as new motifs ripple around it in shimmering delay. Making their presence felt at the stripped back mid-point, they emerge into the third movement backed by a wonderful new bassline that ties superbly to the driving beat and high-cadence percussion. The result is sublime affair hallmarked in quality.

Centrifugal forces keep Hot TuneiK's "Circles of You" spinning with ever-increasing power.

Circles of You

Hot TuneiK - Circles of You (Sebastian Sellares Remix)

'Higher States enters the summer season by welcoming Navar to the label for his debut EP. Through releasing material on Guy J’s Lost & Found Records, the Dutch artist emerged in 2014, firmly establishing himself in the world of deep melodic house. Subsequent releases for Cid Inc’s Replug Records, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Belgian Events brand EDGE, further solidified Navar’s place amongst the genre’s elite.  Now following a remix of Eric Lune’s ‘Benji’ to begin the year, Navar presents his first original project of 2020 via Roger Martinez’s Higher States.

Spread across four tracks, Navar explores a broad spectrum of organic sensibilities on ‘High Noon’, beginning with the free-flowing tranquillity of ‘Moon At The Window’. A bed of broken beats and exotic drums sets the stage for hypno grooves and pixie-like melodies. Transcendent and glowing in equal measure, it’s fuzzed out stabs, incandescent harmonies and unpredictability showcases an artist operating at his creative peak. ‘Desert Storm’ follows suit with a similarly charming quality. Subtle shades and fragmented tones coverage as the narrative evolves, creating a contemplative yet emotive drawl which is sure to resonate on multiple levels. 

Beginning the EP’s second wave are the dulcet beats of ‘Arctic Vibez’. Spacious and smooth, it’s a piece built around warm bass tones and luminous cascades. Spiralling overlays strike at opportune moments, blanketing the robust framework onwards to a meditative finale. Rounding out the release is the title selection ‘High Noon’ which finds Navar flexing the peak time prowess of his studio repertoire. Sitting comfortably between the playful and emotive, it’s dusty percussion and bouncy arps bring texture and drive to a brilliant rhythmic theme. Tranquil tones and smooth chord changes marry for an elegant apex, ultimately putting a stamp on this sensational release. Sure to be an important piece in Navar’s discography, it’s a collection of music which further solidifies his place amongst the progressive house elite, while continuing to forge new sonic blueprints for the future.'
