EANP - Stolen Dreams (Berni Turletti Remix) [Belong To Label]

onedotsixtwo heads to São Paulo by way of the very talented Carla Cimino who has created two sensuous tracks in ‘Fractal’ and ‘Illusion’, while Australia’s Mike Rish delivers a stunning remix of the title track.

Carla Cimino has been directly involved with electronic music and the underground scene in her native São Paulo since the early 2000’s, and began producing her own material almost ten years ago. In that time she has released on many quality imprints such as Warung Recordings, Culprit and BC2 Records gained support from DJ’s far and wide, including Hernan Cattaneo, Hoj, Madloch, Chris Fortier and many more. 

The EP opens with Fractal. Pulsating bass envelops the listener from the offset. Shimmering shakers and congas dance between sustained chords, and ethereal voices build tension amongst plucked strings. A track that would sit equally comfortably during the build of a set, or late into the night. Illusion is next with an addictive groove, razor sharp hats and mesmerising chimes, leading to a break full of excitement and anticipation, and onward to a release worth every second of the build. Mike Rish makes his mark on Fractal and what a mark it is. He takes the key elements of the original and adds a big dose of peak energy using powerful builds and sweeps layered amongst thunderous reverberating FX, while accentuating the string elements. Proper heads down progressive.

Following the success of August 2021’s debut compilation series, and a first volume featuring six original tracks from a stellar cast of international talent, GMJ & Matter now return with a thoroughbred 10-track sequel in “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2”.

Presenting a global dance party with artists from across the continents, from North and South America to Europe, Australasia and Asia, the second instalment of the “Meanwhile Excursions” series combines an array of established talent with up-and-coming nubreed artists who shine a bright light on the progressive house genre.

Opening with the deep bass groove of “Negev”, Colombian star, Golan Zocher, and label head-honcho, GMJ, blend their talent with a delicate ambience that shimmers across its 8-minute time fame with textured pads and flowing soundscape. Mango Alley favourite, Forty Cats continues with the smooth sounds of “Mutualism” as hypnotic rhythms and bass groove propel things forwards, while Andrés Moris creates club-friendly force via “Owen’s Dream”. Full of emotive chords progressions and twinkling arpeggios, a pulsating bassline makes for a beautifully assured debut.

Redolent in intricate percussive groove and juxtaposed with sumptuous synth arrangement, Tonaco’s “Setentrional” is a rhythmic tour de force that only pauses for breath at the beatless breakdown, while Dowden’s first of two offerings is a typically impressive offering with “Halstatt” glittering via earworm motif that melds with freeform counterpoint sequence as it evolves through a flurry of white-noise fills and mesmerising presence.

A slow-burning jewel that combines strong rhythmic force with running bassline presence, “Retro” finds Ivan Aliaga showcasing an evolving melodic tapestry that waxes and wanes with ease, while “Misanthropy” is another rhythm-fuelled affair that demonstrates why NOIYSE PROJECT is a name currently on the lips of the progressive cognoscenti with his club-friendly groove and ear for melodic emotion. Moving forwards, the low-slung groove of EMPHI’s “The Box” helps to generate a brooding wall of sound that builds in tension-filled phases that rise and fall in ever-evolving synth work and stereo-panned white-noise effects.

The second track from Dowden see him join forces with Meanwhile’s other co-founder as the immaculate production credentials of Matter see beautiful piano phrases glitter across “York”, fully exposed at the mid-point where reverb-drenched and delay-soaked chords vie for space with a dynamic rhythmic backdrop and ticking hi-hat percussion. Ending as it starts, smooth melodic patterns flow from the fingertips of Gorkiz and Distro in cascading layers of dreamy sonic passages that create a coruscating mosaic of sound atop the blistering rhythmic energy of “Staring at the Sun”.

A 10-track trip through the sound of modern progressive house, “Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 2” is a journey to remember.

It was time for the Argentine music producer and DJ, Federico Monachesi, to come to the label, the man who followed our label from the very beginning and supported almost every release!
It can be said that Federico is one of the leaders of the true group of "veterans" of the Argentinian music scene, so our pleasure is greater for this masterful EP that will adorn the shelves of our label.
"Alborz", as the EP is called, is a real example of old-skool progressive with a touch of new age sounds, and it can be said that it is a real club song. On remix duty we have two more debutants on One Of A Kind, and they are Callecat, a fusion between two Dutch guys who share their passion for music and create wonderful pieces of music, as well as the phenomenal Yudi Watanabe who comes to us from Campinas, Brazil!

Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Nopi back to the label for his first solo project. Ukrainian artist Nopi brings a surreal beauty to his innovative brand of electronic composition. His colourful synth leads, exotic percussive arrangements and smooth, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a sound that is all his own. Emerging in 2019, Nopi has enjoyed a three-year creative swell, earning the praise of electronic music tastemakers such as Behrouz, Guy J, Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sebastian Leger and more; while All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit and TRYBESof have served as landing spots for his transcendent sound. Having made his Replug debut in 2020 with a collaborative project alongside progressive music star Dmitry Molosh, Nopi now returns to the trailblazing imprint for his first solo effort entitled ‘Nature In The Home'. 

Continuing to tread the waters between progressive and organic house, Nopi leans closer to the former on first track ‘Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms'. A dizzying dance floor slam powered by potent kick drums and hyperspace effects. Rather than burst into a whirlwind or electronic symphony, Nopi delivers tension through slow burn repetition, dodging expectations and emphasizing his conceptual charm, painting bucolic scenes of solitude, as hypnagogic effects unveil a semi-conscious dreamland, before the Ukrainian's creative attitude reveals itself during an interlude of colourful synth swagger and mesmerizing progression. 

Beneath the powerful tidal waves of 'Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms' lies the spellbinding realities of 'Mistake Forest'. Packed to the hilt with drama and emotion, its adventurous spirit is something Nopi relishes in, as he flexes a trance-inducing side of his studio repertoire. A genuine exchange of melody and texture provide the narrative, where themes of introspection and hope get translated by fuzzed out vocal fragments, thought-provoking musicality and machine-gun style grooves. 

Continuing on a similar monochrome are the nostalgic qualities of the collection's final selection 'Capadocia'. Profoundly idyllic, it's a composition that further cements Nopi's elusive vision, as its buoyant beginnings morph into a meditative, consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas. Dark rebounding rhythms and rolling basslines set the course for rustic hooks, prismatic effects and metallic arps, which ultimately puts a stamp on this thematic collection from one of progressive music's rising mavericks.

Clubsonica Records opens the new year by welcoming Sex Mind to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Bolivia, Jorge Burgos aka Sex Mind has been delighting electronic music fans with his colourful progressive sound for the better part of a decade. His penchant for crafting nostalgic melodies has carried him to performances at Colors Fest and Electro Color, two of Bolivia's premiere electronic music events. Choosy in his projects, Sex Mind's resume is short and impactful, with time and care put into each release and carrying much anticipation as a result. Now, presenting their first offering of 2022, Clubsonica welcomes Sex Mind to the label with 'Niflheim | Alfheim', alongside remixes from D-Nox and Gai Barone and Simply City.

Much lauded for his emotive sounds, Sex Mind continues to explore that narrative on 'Niflheim'. Wrapped within a fluid rhythmic shell are muscular beats, pulsating basslines and a myriad of tantalizing effects. The Bolivian's storyboarding takes hold as enchanting vocal elements, trance-inspired melodies and glowing overlays shine through a driving percussive forest and key changing slabs of bass. The main break showcases Sex Mind's propensity for genuine musicality, as evocative harmonies continue to emerge, while shapeshifting effects and timely piano stabs sweep across the stereo field, eventually giving way to a thunderous drop and uplifting finale. The companion piece 'Alfheim' continues the progressive tone set by its predecessor and lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship. Possessing an emotive undercurrent, Sex Mind works hypnotizing percussion and ghostly vocals over chugging grooves and percolating arps, creating waves of ultrasonic energy across the first act. Its thrilling pulse builds during a dramatic break, where cinematic pads and ethereal vocals converge, perfectly setting up a fluid drop as siren-like wails and retro synth maneuveres unite for a colourful final act.

Providing the lone interpretation of 'Niflheim' are D-Nox and Gai Barone. Hailing from Germany but now based in Argentina, D-Nox has continued to thrill fans with both cutting edge music and enlightening DJ sets. The German artist lays claim to an impressive resume, highlighted by releases on Bedrock Records, Sudbeat Music and his own Sprout imprint. Meanwhile, Italian producer Gai Barone has achieved similar success across his fourteen-year career. A recent partnership with British producer Luke Brancaccio has yielded chart topping releases via Bedrock, Lost and Found, Renaissance and Selador. Warm pulsating basslines and rebounding rhythms set the course for snatches of fragmented vocals and acid-like lines to work their magic leading into the break. A gorgeous contrast from the talented duo and one which is explored further across the captivating interlude, as a pitch bending narrative paves the way for a wonky groove-centric drop and fiery percussive finale.

The release concludes with Simply City providing the lone interpretation of 'Alfheim'. Hailing from Chile but now based in Montreal, Cesar Romero aka Simply City has become a fixture in the city's burgeoning nightlife, earning a spot as one of Stereo's resident DJs and in turn sharing the stage with Bedouin, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Sasha. Also, a highly respected producer, Cesar has showcased his music via Hope Recordings, Mango Alley, Or Two Strangers and Sudbeat. Smooth and rhythmic throughout, the Montreal resident goes deep and groovy for what results in a dramatic nine-minute journey. Percolating synth lines, clever percussive coactions and deconstructed vocals unite across the first act. Void of any primary break, Simply City opts to transfer energy into a celestial second movement, an enthralling shift in mood from the talented veteran, and one which perfectly splits time between otherworldly and emotive.

We are confronting the boarders of creativity.
Being open minded, being creative and unique. Stepping out of the closed circle of modern socialism. Being honest with yourself. Being an artist.

Back in 2013. One Of A Kind was just an idea that burst out of the shell of imagination of one guy, Marijan Raskovic, who finally realized this project and started working in 2016. where he signed first releases.

Being a part of Proton family which counts more over 600 labels, we are proud to be carriers of a wave that doesn't have boundaries when it comes to music. Our main goal is to spread the sound worldwide and well promote every single artist that joins our label, equally.
