The rapidly thriving onedotsixtwo label launches its 2020 campaign with yet another essential release, this time from the multitasking main man himself, Tripswitch, who has masterminded an incredible refreshing of his classic ‘Box Fresh’ track, having enlisted the studio skills of Emi Galván, Forerunners and Nicolas Rada, alongside him on remix duty.

“‘Box Fresh’ was a really significant track for me when it first came out on the ‘Propulsion EP’ in 2014. It was one of the first progressive tracks I wrote where I felt I’d successfully struck the right formula between my own production style, which was more rooted in epic, euphoric chillout, and an up-to-date progressive house sound.” - Tripswitch

The original track’s significance (represented by the 2020 Remaster in this new package) grew exponentially when it became one of the first Tripswitch tracks (after his remix of Seamless ‘Castle In the Sky’ on Section Records) that Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo really hammered in their sets and was thus pivotal in establishing Tripswitch on the progressive path, ultimately leading to the birth of onedotsixtwo. 

“I always felt it deserved more credit for what it had opened up for me, and a 2020 re-release on onedotsixtwo with a reimagined remix version and big remixes from some of my favourite producers is a fitting way to bring it back!” – Tripswitch

With an ethos to seek out and feature the finest world-class talent within the underground progressive house scene, Tripswitch has teamed up with rising Argentinian superstar Nicolas Rada (who is making a huge impression on the scene right now) to open proceedings. This creative dream team’s ability to tease out the essential original mind-blowing beauty of ‘Box Fresh’ with their deeply delicious 2020 ReFresh is quite astonishing. By composing a magnificently subtle, tantalizing, soaring, new melodic masterpiece, they set the stage perfectly for this truly outstanding remix package.

Another Buenos Aires resident, the exceptionally multi-talented Emi Galván, brings his own unique vision to ‘Box Fresh’. Emi has earned a reputation as a kind of crown prince of uplifting electronic music and here he injects his infectious blend of bounce and funk to proceedings to launch the track to a higher level of energetic abandonment, juxtaposing irresistible melodic hooks with euphoric percussive flourishes to create an absolutely monstrous dancefloor experience. Emi’s remix has already been cited by Nick Warren as one of the biggest tracks of his DJ sets.

Arizona USA’s Brenden LaBonte (aka Forerunners) makes a welcome return to onedotsixtwo with his outstanding remix. A sophisticated interwoven blend of skippy percussion, meandering bassline groove and lush layers of hypnotic melody, create a marvellous drifting sea of tranquil beauty. It is a wonderfully subtle journey from the masterful DJ/Producer who always creates a stir amongst discerning underground progressive house fans worldwide

To conclude this unmissable package, the original joyous iridescence of ‘Box Fresh’ has been tweaked to glorious effect for the 2020 Remaster and, if you haven’t already discovered its wondrous uplifting musicality, prepare to be mightily impressed! Holding ever true to the onedotsixtwo proper progressive philosophy, ‘Box ReFresh’ once again delivers on the label's manifesto, adding another essential release to their vital catalogue featuring some of the most forward-thinking and well-produced progressive house out there. 2020 starts here!

LUCAS GRAIN Between Us

001 between us
002 between us movement machina remix
003 between us integral bread remix
004 between us tantum remix

A debut representing Mango Alley's annual homage to Amsterdam, Lucas Grain returns to fill the spaces "Between Us". Rapid-fire melodies bounce off clean marble surfaces in bright reflections of metronomic power alongside the constant ticking of brittle hi-hats. A juxtaposition of eerie vocal treatment strikes a chord somewhere between beauty and sadness.

A synthesis of Finnish innovation and familiarity sees Movement Machina return. Throbbing bass intent highlights vocal phrasing in a jumble of effected treatments where the sonic space lights up in glorious originality and infinitely pitched percussion. Spanish flair rises from the sound of Integral Bread – common refrains from between us radiating a pulsating evolution of sound in acetylene-torch lead and vocal contrast. Innovation highlights a new rhythmic pattern of spellbinding beauty and resonance.

Ice cold German brilliance shines a new light between us in techno machinations. Tantum redefines the techno landscape with a kaleidoscope of rippling energy that charges the space with each passing movement. Vocal pitching goes with the grain to reflect previous passions.

B.A.X. - Into the Aura [Sound Avenue]

Stepping up next on the prolific Last Night On Earth label is rising Mexican talent Issac. Having been supported in the past by label founder Sasha, Guy Gerber and Dixon (to name just a few), it’s no surprise to see his hypnotic dancefloor tracks being released on LNOE. 
 
Issac begins the EP with ‘Clavel’, a percussive, driving track where stripped-back drum sounds combine their elegant pulses to form a complexity of entrancing polyrhythms. Crisp, rolling 909 Toms bring a sense of melody with their powerful tones while contrasting against shimmering ride cymbals and a firm, floor-filling kick drum. Before long, the expanse of drums breaks away for a truly euphoric uplift of oscillating synths and heroic vocal pads, forming a momentous drop, somewhere between classic trance and hard-hitting techno. 
 
‘It’s An Extreme Life’ delivers more complex rhythms, where layers of recurrent guitar scratches congregate amongst twinkling bell sounds and trippy, glitched-out drum tops. The ten-minute composition builds gradually up to a minimalistic breakdown that exposes the harmonic rhythms of the track’s epicentre. 
 
Issac closes the record with ‘Rimel’, a fusion of acid-house era drum machines (like the infamous Roland TR-727 congas), blend amongst the nip-tuck-tight pulse of driving 4/4 kicks and swaying shaker loops. Fusing in anthemic synth lead lines and massive, echoing chord stabs, ‘Rimel’ closes the record with true harmonic bliss.

It´s An Extreme Life

Crabo

Emi Galvan - Crabo [The Soundgarden]

The EP receives its power from the remix by legendary Producers/ DJs Sahar Z & Interaxxis, who need no introduction to the electronic music community. A progressive rhythm building up from the word go with running hats & suspense stings supported by deep bass sounds. The arrangement keeps building up with no relief till it breaks down temporarily only to pick up more powerful than before, making it an apt peak time track. Excellent production techniques & sound designing make it the highlight track of the EP.

Remember The Future

Creative Culture- Remember The Future (Sahar Z & Interaxxis Remix)[Preview]

'From a city that never sleeps, Midnight Traffic surges through Hyderabad. A “Light Year” that sparkles and shimmers. Melodies become frozen in time, weightless and timeless they flow in never-ending patterns. White-noise washes and dizzying stereoscopic sensations converge again in hypnotic rhythmic cadence.

Egyptian skies reflect a new vision with striking beat. The rhythm of the earth’s pulse reflected in clear night air. Amplified through a new sound palette, familiar pads sweep across time and patterns appear through new sonic architecture. Ampish travels a new “Light Year” where rolling bassline frequencies resonate in hypnotic dancefloor fashion in the flash of an eye.

From north-western Russia, Ewan Rill creates a new vision of St. Petersburg beauty. Dark intensity pervades the deep space of echoing bassline pattern that drifts effortlessly. A star-field of twinkling lights sonically reflected in delayed synth notes fade into the distance, colliding occasionally in reverberated openness. Power and clarity represented in mathematical precision through space and time.'

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Gux Jimenez back to the label for a new EP. Upon making his label debut in February of 2019 with a remix of Moveme's ‘Traumtanz', the Colombian artist then went on to release his first artist EP for Clubsonica in March. The year yielded many other successes, with outings for Balkan Connection, Droid9, Juicebox Music, Soundteller Records and UV being the most notable. Now presenting his first project of 2020, the Cartagena resident returns to Clubsonica with ‘El Inicio | El Fin' alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente, Juan Pablo Torrez & Dabeat and Giovanny Aparicio.

Beginning with ‘El Inicio', Gux sets the tone of the EP with a storyboard of pulsating grooves and euphoric motifs. Anchored by a warm, redolent foundation and waves of fragmented melodies, it's an evolving atmospheric narrative which first captures your imagination. Haunting vocal choirs and trance inducing arps add perfectly to its exhilarating nature, before eventually melting down into a charming break and perfectly setting up an energetic finale. The companion piece ‘El Fin' follows suit with charged beats, rolling rhythms and joyous melodic concepts. Built around a series of tantalizing, trance inspired arps, the first act is well fashioned for peak time play. Stripping down into the main break, poignant chord changes add further fuel to its emotive core, before an unabashedly epic build sends the energy into overdrive.

The first interpretation of ‘El Fin' is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente, Juan Pablo Torrez & Dabeat. Operating from the heart of Colombia's electronic music scene, this trio of artists have collectively showcased their music on Nick Warren's Hope Recordings, Beatfreak, Parquet Recordings and UV. Beloved as their country's foremost progressive music talents, Kamilo, Juan and Dabeat now unite for a special collaborative remix of ‘El Fin'. Fluid and groovy in equal measure, its perfectly contoured foundation moves with a powerful yet buoyant drive. Fresh design qualities make for a commanding rhythm core, while pensive atmospheres add anticipatory vibes leading into the break. Processed vocals and striking tones make for a hugely impactful centrepiece, as mind bending modulation fully saturates your senses leading into a classy drop and ominous finale.

Rounding out the release and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘El Fin' is Giovanny Aparicio. Having made his Clubsonica debut in December of 2019 with a remix of Jan Dalvik's 'Mahat', the Colombian artist also released several well received collaborations with fellow countryman Kamilo Sanclemente earlier in the year. Now making a welcome return to Clubsonica, Giovanny provides a stunning rendition of ‘El Fin'. The groove gets reworked with great warmth and flow, while a complement of clattering drums, hypnotic arps and misty effects fill in the framework. Musically less pronounced, the Cali resident opts for a meditative yet powerful approach, building tension subtly across the main break though timely modulation, before smoothly segueing into a purring finale.

It caps off another impressive collection of music from Clubsonica and a welcome return to the label for one of Colombia's fastest rising stars Gux Jimenez.

Selador boss Dave Seaman and widely respected Buenos Aires electronic music figure DJ Paul first met over 20 years ago when Dave was recording his first Global Underground compilation in the city and have remained friends ever since.

More recently, the two bonded further over their shared passion for football when legendary Argentinian football coach Marcelo Bielsa took over at Dave’s beloved Leeds United. It was a development that became a regular topic of conversation, their mutual admiration culminating in them deciding to collaborate on a track in honour of Bielsa’s genius after he achieved promotion with Leeds back to the English Premier League.

Named partly after Bielsa’s ‘crazy one’ nickname and also after his ‘beautiful’ brand of football, the result was ‘Loco Hermoso’, a perfectly executed slice of sun kissed electronic goodness befitting of its inspirational source.

And the Argentinian connection doesn’t stop there either. Stepping up on remix duties, we welcome the one and only Hernan Cattaneo who teams up blossoming new talent Mariano Mellino for one interpretation whilst another Argentinian duo, label faves Interaxxis complete a formidable line up.
