A showcase of fresh talent from the global electronic scene, Anjunadeep’s Explorations EP series returns for its eighteenth instalment, featuring VONDA7, Tagavaka, Denney, Cornelius SA & Sebee, SQL, Nacho Varela and Cruz Vittor.

Kicking off the compilation is Polish producer VONDA7 with ‘You’re My Swiss Watch’. Having garnered support from the likes of Sasha, Anja Schneider, Camelphat and Laurent Garnier, this new production is a confident fusion of uplifting vocals and bouncing basslines.

Following the release of ‘State Lines’ on recent label compilation Anjunadeep 12, Glasgow-based producer Tagavaka returns with ‘Sky’, showcasing his textured sound design that has earned him support from Adam Port, Lane 8 and Nora En Pure.

Next up, British DJ and producer Denney marks his Anjunadeep debut with ‘Kamikaze’. With releases on Hot Creations, Knee Deep In Sound and Rebellion, Denney delivers a hard-hitting deep house track. 

South African producers Cornelius SA and Sebee bring their melodic track ‘Silhouette’ to the EP, reaffirming why they’ve respectively been supported by Eelke Kleijn, Nick Warren and fellow countryman Black Coffee.

A skilful blend of evolving synths and intertwining melodies, Dutch producer SQL delivers ‘Lagom’ - a track first heard on James Grant's mix for Anjunadeep Edition #345. 

Closing the EP is the collaborative cut ‘Kush’ from Argentinian producers Nacho Varela & Cruz Vittor. Characterised by syncopated basslines and percussive-laden grooves, the duo demonstrate their long-standing chemistry as producers that have seen them release on labels including All Day I Dream and Shanti Radio Moscow.

Nacho Varela & Cruz Vittor - Kush

Out now on The Soundgarden: https://www.beatport.com/release/summer-collection-2021/3451763

This year's Summer Collection (curated by label owner Nick Warren) is 20 tracks of Electronic gold. Every track chosen reflects the diversity of the label and showcases some wonderful artists' work.

We kick off with Leandro Caceres' "A Strange Case", a melancholy journey of part sadness and part joy. Next is Urmet K with "Sri Sukta", organic Sri Lankan vibes with a beautiful vocal from Shawni. Nosssia with "Amoureux" brings a weighty groove and melody to die for. We drop the tempo next with Marcan Liav and "Aninat In Space", a beautiful vocal track.

Stillhead is no stranger to The Soundgarden and with "Amusia" we head straight to the beach for a relaxed and groovy journey.

Bautista Toniolo brings us "Grumari", a lovely light progressive track with a refrain not a million miles away from 70s prog rock.

Pedro Capelossi is up next with "Mystical Atlas" which as its name suggests, takes you on a journey around the globe. This went down a treat for Nick in Argentina this year.

Amol Reon serves up a groovy delight with "The Dawn". Joyous melodies envelope you and send the dancefloor into overdrive.

French artist Sasson and SEGG deliver "Crossing Path", which locks you in and doesn't let you go. A great track by these young artists.

And we have Maezbi's "Patri" – it’s all things gorgeous, like a walk in the rainforest. It is one of Nick's favourite tracks of the past year.

We start off the second half of the compilation with the hugely talented Christian Monique's "Nexus Protocol". It’s a real statement of intent and was Nick's opening track on many of his Argentina shows earlier this year. This is followed by Vinu with "The Source", containing a brilliant hook that works a treat.

Facundo Baggio delivers a progressive bomb with "Osho" and Zankee Gulati gives us a peach full of melody.

Anhauser, Lio Q, Nicolas Leonelli’s "Montevideo" is a South American groove machine and Australian GMJ's track "Lifewaves" showcases the producer’s great talent.

The Soundgarden’s friend Fran Bux is next with "Forest Of Light", which lit up the Andes on Nick’s Argentina tour at the start of the year.

Doma and Amir Telem satisfy the dancefloors before we end with the blistering Subandrio & Nishan Lee's beast of a track, "Borax", which is a heavyweight groover.

Loose Soul (Original Mix)

Welcoming new collaborative partnerships to the Particles roster is always an exciting opportunity and witnessing the combined talents of Chris Domingo and Eric Lune for their Particles debut is no exception, the duo revealing their "Sentimental Fool" EP.

Talented artists in their own rights, US star, Chris Domingo and Canadian talent, Eric Lune, have found their music allied to some of the finest underground imprints, counting Balkan Connection, Black Hole and Juicebox Music among them. Moreover, both have found homes on Belgian label, Sound Avenue with an impressive array of original and remix production material. Both have also found themselves hitting impressive heights on Proton Music, not least through Eric Lune's "Airbag" EP which saw a remix from Mariner + Domingo. Now joining forces on a debut original track, "Sentimental Fool" sees Domingo + and Eric Lune create a bright and evocative track that revels in shimmering arpeggios and acoustic field recordings that add a subtle vibrancy to proceedings. Anchored by heavy kick and offbeat percussive flair, interwoven melodies filter into sonic range as hypnotic arpeggiated sequences, breathy vocals and multi-layered pads, combine in counterpoint harmony to create a superb original work.

An iconic figure withing the underground dance industry, Pole Folder is a name synonymous with modern progressive house after making a name for himself debuting on John Digweed's Bedrock. A regular on Proton Music since 2006 and, more recently, with a trio of original EPs that include 2020's "Serengeti" and 2021's "Mara", Pole Folder now makes his fifth remix appearance on Particles with a typically impressive reworking. Redolent in additional production material that has become such a trademark feature of the Belgian's work, a new bassline based on the progression from Domingo & Lune's original, casts a magical spell over the 6-minute track as woven sonic textures cascade across each other, opening up post-breakdown underneath a heavy beat and 808 clap to create a remix worthy of the "Full Sentimental Mix" title.

Production moniker of Australian artist, Sam Liburn (aka Sammy Pstump), Slipp. has seen the Tasmanian producer create a distinctive ‘melodic, progressive and psychedelic dance music, inspired by the traditions of techno and house'. Digital Structures, Dreaming Awake and The Next Levelists have all played host to the Slipp. name as he now debuts on Particles with a coruscating and arpeggiated reworking that rises and falls in hypnotic fashion against a rhythmic anchor of deep kick and ticking hi-hat pattern. Echoing the themes resonant in the original to magical effect, new guitar passages and exquisitely syncopated chords pitch and fall in innovative new patterns to create a highly original remix that showcases Slipp.'s range of skill, craftsmanship and technique.

As Domingo + and Eric Lune develop a new relationship, remixes from Pole Folder and Slipp. help to showcase a "Sentimental Fool".

Reinvigorating their collaborative partnership Dmitry Molosh and Michael A return to Cid Inc's Replug Records with 'Integral'. Hailing from Belarus, both Dmitry and Michael sit amongst progressive music's elite guard. Their respective solo productions continue to earn play and support from the genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also landing them releases on Hope Recordings and Sudbeat Music. Also calling Replug a comfortable home, Dmitry and Michael now return to the label with their first collaborative project in almost four years.

Much loved for their exploration of all things progressive and groovy, the Belarus duo exceeds expectations here, delivering two stunning pieces of music beginning with the title selection 'Integral'. Set in motion by a warm, chunky foundation, its robust core comes up quickly, with layers of finely tuned drums, crunchy rhythms and squelchy synths uniting in a fiery sonic comet. Shifting energy into the main break, heartfelt harmonics and fragmented melodies gently blanket the electric underbelly, resonating on a higher frequency as tasteful modulation rises and the groove drops for a chugging finale.

Operating on a similar sonic plane is the companion piece 'Twelve Days'. Otherworldly in nature, tough beats and dark stabs anchor the journey as the piece flows through a series of pulsating rhythms and mind-bending effects. Continuing on an unpredictable storyboard, ominous overlays and percussive flashes highlight the first act, perfectly setting up an icy break. Adding further intrigue, a wave of tranquil arps provide an effervescent foundation for the duo's dystopian soundscapes, before building to a granular sizzle as a rush of drums ignites a powerful crescendo. It caps off a hugely successful project from two of progressive music's most talented artists, further solidifying Replug's place at the top of this burgeoning genre.

Rounding out the release are the deeper, hypnotic qualities of ‘Room 09’. Sebastian's distinctive flow and percussive cadence shine once again as warm beats, exotic drums and indistinct vocals unite for a smooth rhythmic ride. Leading into the main break, cascading melodies marry emotive chord changes, before melting down to an impassioned interlude and radiant finale. It rounds out an inspired collection of music from Sebastian, who returns to Antrim's Or Two Strangers with some of his strongest material to date.
