After an unforgettable 2024 with the launch of our label, we're excited to kick off this new year for two great reasons :

First, MINITEL Media is celebrating its 5th anniversary, and we treated ourselves to a state-of-the-art Polaroid to capture memories from our upcoming label nights.Second, we're thrilled to welcome UK duo CLOSE PROXIMITY and the talented Frankfurt-based producer MARUWA to the label for our fourth EP release.

CLOSE PROXIMITY was formed in late 2024 by Frank Brady and Demack. Their mission ? Crafting distinctive progressive music blending Proto House, techno, and trance influences.
The two tracks we present here perfectly capture their unique sound.

"Pure Ascendance" is a tribute to the airy, contemplative, Balearic progressive vibes of the '90s. With a groovy bassline, delicate yet precise synths, mesmerizing vocals, and uplifting piano chords, it's the perfect ticket for takeoff.

"Acid is My DNA" keeps the journey going with a slightly trancier feel. Expect stunning harmonies elevated by a soaring synth arpeggio in the final section .Guaranteed to transport you to a beachfront festival at sunrise.

On remix duties, rising star MARUWA, known for her stellar EPs and remixes blending nostalgic elements from the '90s and early 2000s with a modern twist, delivers a hypnotic reinterpretation of Pure Ascendance.
Her version features a devastating groove, relentless percussion, and dub techno-inspired arrangements. It's an epic journey into old-school tribal progressive trance that will set any dancefloor ablaze. Drums Don't Stop !

COME CLOSER !

СПАСИБО Maria
Thanx Frank & Demack

INCOMING : CLOSE PROXIMITY - Acid Is My DNA #MINITEL

Julie Desire’s new EP Call Me Back marks a bold step in her creative evolution. Following last year’s standout single For Them You’re Just a Freak, the Paris-based DJ and producer dives deeper into her love for house in its most sensual and dynamic forms. Released on Correspondant, the EP highlights Julie’s evolving and vibrant house sound.
The title track Call Me Back is the clear standout, a high-energy anthem already making waves on dancefloors worldwide. X-tasy follows with a groovy, progressive house vibe that builds into an infectious piano refrain, hypnotic and captivating. Closing the EP, Rock The House delivers a punchy and sexy club track. 
Rooted in the Parisian queer scene and drawing influences from proghouse, hardhouse, and tribal house , Julie Desire continues to define her sound with warmth, ecstasy, and authenticity as a DJ and producer.

CLOSE PROXIMITY is a London-based electronic duo formed by producers Frank Brady and Demack, uniting under one alias to create a focused and immersive club sound. The project emerged from their long-standing collaboration within London's underground scene, particularly through Volition - the record label and event series founded by Brady and developed in close creative partnership with Demack. CLOSE PROXIMITY represents a distilled evolution of their individual solo work: emotive, progressive, and built with the dancefloor in mind. 

Blending elements of progressive house, proto-house, trance, and techno, the pair draw inspiration from iconic acts like Underworld, while infusing their productions with a modern, high-fidelity edge. Their music is driven by thick basslines, soaring pads, and a dynamic sensibility that captures both tension and release. From late-night warehouse sets to headphone journeys, CLOSE PROXIMITY's sound thrives on motion and emotional resonance. 

Their next single, 'Be Free,' drops September 5 via CONTR4ST, offering a bold, melodic slice of peak-time energy that captures the duo's wide-ranging influences and refined production aesthetic.
