There's only one obvious thing in the sound of Neelix: Relentless forward boost. Exactly how this boost is generated is not obvious at all – which makes it catchy in the most subliminal way possible. The German artist playfully incorporates elements of Progressive Trance, Progressive House and Electro. However, the actual magic of Neelix happens somewhere inbetween those genres. For 10 years already this unique formula made him a crowd-pleaser at a great variety of dance events on all 5 continents, including monumental festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland or Boom.

It's 2005 when Neelix stirs a revolution. His album 'No Way To Leave' fulfills all the expectations of the dance floor – but it does so in the most unexpected way. Within no time, party goers refer to his highly dynamic hybrid style simply as 'Neelix sound'. It's the beginning of a stellar career that keeps building and building – just like a typical Neelix track itself. During the last decade, the music of Neelix has inspired a whole generation of producers, it can be found in the collections of countless DJ, in film productions, and in the catalogues of prestigious labels like for instance SpinTwist Records or Paul Oakenfold’s legendary Perfecto imprint.

Harmonika was created in 2007 by Hugo Lannes Castellan, born in Rio de Janeiro on 1988. Hugo is a musician since he was 9, when he bought his first guitar. In 2008 he joined the "Conservatório Brasileiro de Música" (Brazilian Music Conservatory), attending the course called "Música e Tecnologia" (Music and Technology). Hugo has opened his mind, and started to focus on electronic music production, intending to work as a DJ and a music producer. His Live Act presents heavy and melodic musics, always mixing Progressive Psytrance with his unique influences (like Rock, classical music…). His tracks goes from 138bpm to 145bpm. Besides his home country, Hugo has already presented in Switzerland, Mexico, England, France, Australia, United States, Canada and South Africa; he participated in big festivals all around the world, like Universo Parallelo (in Brazil), Burning Mountain (in Switzerland), Burning Man (in USA) and Veld (in Canada). The artist already released a few tracks in one of the biggest labels of the genre, called Spin Twist Records. In 2015, the artist reached world Top 1 Psy Trance on the reputed Beatport site, with his track called “O Fortuna”, a partnership with “Claudinho Brasil” released by Alien Records. In 2016, Harmonika and Claudinho Brasil got together again and released a bootleg for the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", by Queen. They called the track "Mamma Mia", and it reached over 3 millions plays on Soundcloud and Youtube. Hugo also released three remixes for the legend of progressive trance, Neelix: "Born & Raised” and "Ever Since" (by the label Spin Twist Records) and “Waterfall” (by the label Kontor Records).

NOK is Alexander Dorkian (aka Galactika) from Hamburg Germany. 

In uniting massive thrust with dreamy easiness, NOK is introducing a New Order...
... in terms of up-to-date Progressive Trance.

It's the skilful play with moods and sound colours that creates a one-of-a-kind suspense on Alexander Dorkian's new album. The rolling force of heavy bass lines meets fluffy and light pad sounds. At one moment the atmosphere is dominated by rhythmically swirling synth chords, shortly thereafter they morph into elegant melodies.

Every title on the album is characterized by this organic modulation between full throttle dance floor power and trancy easiness. Additionally there is a great variation from one track to another, thanks to various collaborations with renowned colleagues and some remixes of proved and tested Progressive bangers.

wassup, hope y'all down for some old school hip hop, boom bap and a bit of everything say hi on Instagram at @kayodemandem
