Tangerine Dream - Love On A Real Train (Live Cover)

B3 - Artist 0001 - Untitled 0001B (Ansidis Abstracted Aesthetics Remix)

Another is a long line of talented artists from South America, Kamilo Sanclemente is an artist on a rising upward curve. Returning to Particles with new music and a pair of remixes, "Eva" continues his story.

From Cali, southwest of Bogota, Kamilo Sanclemente burst onto the underground scene in late 2013. As prolific as he is innovative, over 150 production credits can be found next to the Colombian's name from early 2016. Moreover, the list of blue chip labels on which Sanclemente's work has appeared includes Juan Pablo Torrez's Clubsonica Records and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital – November 2017's "El Sol / La Luna" with Golan Zocher for the latter, being a highpoint. "Revelations" saw a three-track debut on Particles in August 2017 while "Eva" took its initial bow as part of the "Winter 2018" compilation. Reprised here, it is complemented by a new track, "Antlia". Redolent in a strong tribal percussion element, a body-shaking groove is accompanied a warm bass motif and lilting vocal phrase that perfectly fits the tribal percussive feel. Building relentlessly, the track explodes post-breakdown into a storming dance-floor gem with coruscating arpeggios and reprised vocal.

A remix of "Eva" comes from UK based Imran Khan who has shot to prominence through original work for Clinique Recordings in the shape of the "Distance Between Us" and "Time" EPs in late 2016. Going on to deliver music for the likes of Stellar Fountain and Astrowave, a remix of Hot TuneiK's "Erase and Rewind" marked an impressive Particles debut while the original track, "Arrival", appeared on the "Winter 2018" compilation in January. Now returning to the label, Khan's remix is a smooth affair that delights with its lilting groove and deep vibe. A rich bassline permeates the low end with its new progression while a clever reimagining of Sanclemente's elements sees textured pads and white-noise washes scintillate. An arpeggio resonant in the melodic themes of the original then creates intrigue at the mid-point.

Taking on partner track, "Antlia", Nicolas Rada is a name at the forefront of Argentina's underground scene. Influenced by the dark, experimental nature of Radiohead's music, Rada's cutting-edge work for the Balkan Connection label family, Soundteller and DAYS like NIGHTS have seen his influence grow, not least in a collaboration with Nick Warren remixing Eelke Kleijn at the start of 2018. August 2017's three-track "Sheremetyevo" was a Particles high point and remixes of Simos Tagias and Demitros are now followed by a typically impressive reworking of Kamilo Sanclemente. Displaying a sympathetic approach to the original, arpeggios undulate with sumptuous delays and pitched innovation while a new motif and a swathe of additional production material enchant. A strong beat and laid-back groove provide dancefloor credentials, resulting in a mature and intelligent remix that is a symbol of Rada's growing stature.

Remixes from Imran Khan and Nicolas Rada are dynamic and exiting partners to Kamilo Sanclemente and "Eva".

In June 2017 we released Kotu's subtle rework of José González - This Is How We Walk On The Moon and it became a staple in their podcasts and DJ sets at Laganini Beach Club. The duo have since gone on to release music with Nie Wieder Schlafen and Anjunadeep but are yet to release any originals or official remixes on Oleeva. Their ethereal, moody take on Jana is their first! Its a tense affair with dissonant pads flowing beneath raw piano stabs.  Full EP is available to stream and download from Sunday 6th.

Progressive Astronaut Review: http://progressiveastronaut.com/luis-kiverling-dia-de-mariscal-balkan-connection/

In September of 2017 the progressive house underground lost one of its brightest talents and most pleasant personalities in Luis Kiverling. The Argentinean artist and Varona label boss had a passion for music that touched everyone who came to know him. Although the majority of Luis’ unreleased tracks and remixes have been given away since his passing, Balkan Connection has chosen to honour one of his last wishes and the assemble the remixer team of his dreams for his final single ‘Dia de Mariscal’.

Luis’ infectious personality always seemed to resonant through his music and this is certainly the case with ‘Dia de Mariscal’. Bursting with positive vibes it springs to life with a deep rolling groove and playful electronics. Emotive harmonics run through the piece, conjuring up visions of a summery, care free day before eventually stripping down into its second act. The dreamy, one minute interlude keeps the rhythm locked while dulcet hooks add their own charm before a quiet calm foreshadows a heavenly finale. No doubt one of many tracks Luis will be remembered for and one the progressive community will hold close to its heart.

Luis’ love for pure, timeless progressive house is evidenced by his remixer selection of Andrea Cassino, Matias Chilano, East Cafe, Ewan Rill and Lucas Rossi. Each artist has presented some of their best ever work in honouring Luis’ life and transcendent spirit.

The latest release on Sound Avenue finds the label revisiting Madloch's 'Sagacity' EP for a new set of remixes. Originally released in August of 2017 the two track offering found the Belgian artist in the midst of a creative shift. Widely regarded as his most compelling work to date, Sound Avenue now invites Petar Dundov and Anton Dhouran to reinvent the tracks for 2018.

Additional release info:

"The lone interpretation of ‘Nordic Noir’ is provided by Petar Dundov who returns to the label for his second appearance. The Croatian artist would have to be considered one of the most inspiring, original and daring producers of the last two decades. Petar makes intelligent electronic music that breaks boundaries, moves feet and twists minds; and with the likes of Sven Vath, Laurent Garnier, Hernan Cattaeno and Guy J singing his praises it would be hard to disagree. Now fresh off the release of his latest Musicman EP ‘Dalmatina/Once We Were Here’ Petar delivers a smooth rendition of ‘Nordic Noir’. On a backbone of tepid beats and organic percussion comes sultry chord stabs and an airy atmospheric resonance. The main break shifts the narrative further into ethereal territory, with rising atmospheres and cascading electronics transferring energy into a timeless third act finale. "
