Clubsonica Records opens the summer season by unveiling the sixth edition of their popular Sampler Series. Following its debut in 2021, Clubsonica's Various Artists Sampler Series is now a regular and much anticipated offering in the label's catalog, an extensive of sorts to the imprint’s MMW and ADE showcases which operate under a similar ethos. The trending series has been a platform not only for a wide assortment of upcoming talent, but continues to add some of progressive music's most notable names with each successive edition. Genre veterans Golan Zocher, Greenage, Kamilo Sanclemente, Ric Niels, Ruben Karapetyan, amongst others, have all graced Clubsonica's much sought after Sampler Series, sitting alongside a carefully curated blend of talented up and comers. Now embarking on their sixth edition, Clubsonica boss Juan Pablo Torrez has compiled the series' most diverse volume to date, featuring new music from (in order of appearance): Armandhe, Derk, Nico Serjanovich, FJL, Golan Zocher, Liam Sieker, Nicolas Viana, Rocio Portillo, Karim Sar Sar and Valley (AR). 

Getting the release underway is Armandhe. Releases courtesy of Balkan Connection, Droid9, Movement Recordings and Sprout, amongst others, have been instrumental in establishing the Medellín resident. With 2023 being highlighted by a contribution to Movement’s ‘Exploring Colombia’ collection, Armandhe now returns to Clubsonica with the deep, charming sounds of ‘Encontro’, a track which serves as his first production of 2024. 

The collection’s first collaboration finds Derk, FJL and Nico Serjanovich combining their extensive forces on ‘Trix’. Although relatively early into their production journey, the trio’s joint discography is already enviable, highlighted by releases via Droid9, Higher States, Mango Alley, Sound Avenue and Transensations, while genre trendsetters Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren have been steadfast with support. Now, in what is a first time collaboration, Derk, FJL and Nico all make their Clubsonica debut with the hypnotic vibes of ‘Trix’. 

Selection three finds Clubsonica stalwart Golan Zocher and label debutant Liam Sieker also collaborating on ‘Incandescent’. Following a 2016 debut, the Tel Aviv resident quickly found his place amongst the genre's elite, earning play and support from Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and Guy Mantzur. Meanwhile, Australian artist Liam Sieker has been a fixture of his country's nightlife for the better part of a decade. Liam has found a home on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream. Now, combining their extensive forces for the first time, Golan and Liam present their debut collaboration ‘Incandescent’, a track which sits as one of the most mesmerizing and deeply emotional creations of their respective careers. 

Selection four finds Nicolas Viana returning to the label for his first original offering ‘Fever’. On the strength of a contribution to One Of A Kind's 'Melody Masters Exclusive' collection, Nicolas would go on to record projects for Amulanga, Flug Lab, Melody Of The Soul, Nordic Voyage, Or Two Strangers and Peace Symphonies, while electronic music tastemakers Eelke Kleijn, Hernan Cattaneo and Sabo, amongst others have all championed his work. With Nicolas’ Clubsonica debut coming earlier this month with a remix of ‘Unfaithful’ by Claudiu Adam, the Tucuman resident now returns to the label with the groovy progressive sounds of ‘Fever’. 

The release concludes with Rocio Portillo, Karim Sar Sar, Valley (AR) with ‘Rise’. Released in October, their 'Ananda' EP for Madloch's 3rd Avenue caught the attention of organic and progressive house DJs alike, in turn making them a trio to watch going forward. Now, adding Clubsonica to their resume, Rocio, Karim and Valley (AR) continue their creative partnership with the mystical sounds of ‘Rise’, a track which puts a resounding stamp on another diverse and well curated edition of Clubsonica’s beloved Sampler Series.

Argentinean duo, Alto Astral, have risen quickly to prominence in recent times with their mature production sound and ethereal vocal arrangements. Already regulars on such esteemed imprints as MNL, Or Two Strangers and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, the Barcelona-based pair return with their own very special project in the shape of "Heartbeat Collective".

First conceived at Amsterdam Dance Event 2023 after discussions with the Proton Music team, Alto Astral have meticulously curated a compilation of the highest order featuring both Argentinean and Greek artists and a pair of original tracks from the duo themselves. The result is a spectacular extravaganza showcasing a quintet of modern progressive house music encapsulating a magical musical narrative. As Alto Astral's Martina expounds, "themes surrounding love, unity and empathy" are all present, but juxtaposed against the "powerful, strong and even slightly furious energy of the current world."

"I Am" is a beautiful opener that drifts easily through its combination of ethereal drone and smooth breakbeat rhythm. A cavernous sub-bassline adds depth aplenty while a wonderfully catchy vocal hook floats elegantly across the piece with vocal harmonies creating a majestic sense of open space and sublime emotion. "You & Us" continues the smooth melodic narrative while a chest-thumping 4/4 kick beats out a metronomic anchor. Pads and twinkling arpeggios create delicate melodic interplay as they rise and fall throughout, and a swirling breakdown introduces a loquacious vocal. The second half introduces a new rhythmic urgency and a huge bassline groove to proceedings with dynamic effect.

Label regular, Juan Deminicis, has thrilled Proton Music with a slew of original and remix material and it is an honour to see him represented on "Heartbeat Collective" with the typically mature and deeply flowing "Astral Odyssey". Replete with rhythmic poise and grace, thickly textured pads vie with a delayed arp and lead motif. A beautiful vocal harmony lilts easily as it echoes across the beatless mid-point before the pace is picked up once more in the second half where vocal layers and counterpoint melody join forces to close out the third movement.

Greek legend and long-time Proton Music friend, Simos Tagias, joins the collective party with "Missile". Redolent in typically impressive club-friendly credentials, a rolling, head-shaking groove swings across the 7-minute track with dynamic drive as immaculately cadenced synth notes add sonic intrigue and seething dancefloor vitality. Reaching a rousing crescendo where all melodic components join forces to a compelling zenith, "Missile" drops back to its delicious ever-present groove in the final stages.

Newcomer, Andrés Moris is the final beating heart of the Alto Astral collective as the Córdoba resident builds on success found for the likes of Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Juicebox Music. Contributing to the release courtesy of "Connected", Andrés' skill is to create a cone-melting bassline sequence that fills the low-end in imposing fashion. Shimmering synth lines then ripple atop, delicately swimming across the stereo spectrum with a hint of steel drum resonance. A garrulous spoken vocal phrase delivers a meditational air at the mid-point and into the third movement, while the melodic phrasing of earlier movements flow towards the track's conclusion in combination with the devastating bassline pattern.

Five pieces of masterful production from a quartet of progressive house's finest exponents see Alto Astral truly part of a life-affirming "Heartbeat Collective".

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.
