Next up on Bonzai Progressive we have the superb Pulsar, which comes from the creative minds of a trio of artists who have proven themselves time and again with quality efforts at every turn. Nico Parisi and Monotique renew their studio partnership after a successful first attempt, namely their remix of AudioStorm's Rhetoric Monster. Joining them is Franco La Cara who returns here after a couple of releases on our Bonzai Back Catalogue series from 2018.

The release opens with the Original Mix which takes us on a celestial journey in search of new beginnings. Vibrant, plucky synths intrigue as tight beats and a deep rumbling bassline ensure maximum impact on the floor. Almi returns on remix duties after his latest effort – Existence, alongside Theus, saw great support. Here, he takes the track on a deep trajectory, adding gritty elements with a raw edge which creates mesmerizing sequences. Rounding out the release and returning to Bonzai Progressive, Koschk is next to take on interpretative duties and, just like his previous multitude of cuts for us, he does not disappoint. Sticking with the deeper theme, plucky synths, solid beats and hypnotic voices lace the groove to the murmur of a chunky bassline.
