June 2017's "Undersound", once again showcased Matan Caspi's abundant skillset on Particles. Demonstrating a mastery of his craft with the twin-track offering of sublime quality, Particles now returns to the EP with a pair of new remixes from Moldova and Hungary.

Originally from the Chisinau capital, Alex and Andrew have made quite a statement with their Lanvary production soubriquet. As the Moldovan pair continue to tear up dancefloors with their unique blend of music, the duo has benefitted from their diverse musical backgrounds, "melting various ingredients in their musical kitchen". Well over a century of production credits now sit proudly next to the Lanvary name as their work continues to find a raft of admirers and supporters. Stellar Fountain, Mistique Digital and Silk Music are just some of the heavy hitting labels to feature the 'double-headed dragon' with the December 2017, "Venus" EP for Proton Music showcasing a debut release on the flagship imprint. Regulars on Particles with a plethora of original material, the "Slingshot Ride", "Penumbra" and "Leviathan" EPs plus remixes from the likes of Fulltone, MINTZ and Matter, have kept the Lanvary name in the spotlight. Now retuning to the label for a second remix after February 2017's reworking of Kastis Torrau and Donatello, the Lanvary remix of "Undersound" takes the epic melodic foundations of the original and transforms them into a multi-faceted progressive house gem. Redolent in strong rhythm and ticking percussive cadence that bristles with emotion, the vocal so fundamental to the original plays its part in a stripped back breakdown.

Hungarian producer, Gabor Kaszas, has been a central figure in the underground progressive sound for well over a decade with his East Café production alter-ego. A strong proponent of the progressive scene, early work for Morphosis, Silk Music and Mistique Music, quickly blossomed into a distinctive and unique sound that has witnessed almost 500 production credits. Subsequent work for the likes of Clinique, Balkan Connection and Soundteller has continued to find the East Café sound a central tenet of the underground dance industry as Kaszas finds his work supported by leading figures including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and John Digweed. The "Peaks and Lows" EP was a notable highlight for Proton Music in late 2014 with remixes of Scotty.A and Magitman also providing rich entertainment. Furthermore, a host of releases for Particles has seen East Café find favour with his "Indian Summer" and "False Visions" EP in June 2016 and 2017. Now returning to the label and reworking Matan Caspi, the East Cafe remix takes "Undersound" on a driving rhythmic journey that delights with rapid-fire hats and strong beat. The vocals from the original sit front and centre while a chorus of additional production material extends the melodic themes of Caspi's original and transforms them into a meandering freeform extravaganza that hints at Middle Eastern sounds with its choice of instrumentation and percussive texture.

Remixes from Lanvary and East Café have taken Matan Caspi on a voyage of discovery "Undersound".

BIO:

Martin surely can be described as legend of Nuremberg‘s electronic music scene. In 1992, at the age of 16, he discovered his passion for electronic music and began playing vinyl on two borrowed Technics turntables. During that time he completed an internship at a local radio station (Radio N1), where he soon was recognized for his Djing. 

First bookings as „Martin Martinez“, his former Dj name, at various events of the radio station like „N1 Sunday Dancehall“ and the weekly radio show „N1 Club Night“ followed, where he not only played vinyl with lots of heart, but also took over the moderation of the radio show.

Especially as a resident of the „N1 Rave Signal“ events, which took place at Volksbad, an abandoned Art Nouveau-Style bath, he soon gained a large fan base with his captivating techno and breakbeat sets and weekly played on stage with famous musicians like Sven Väth, Westbam, Carl Cox, Earth Nation, Tanith, Resistance D, Jens Lissat, Oliver Lieb and many more.

To spred his wings wider and take his immense passion for Djing to the next level, he changed his name to Martin Groovic in 1995 and soon played gigs in all major techno clubs in Franconia such as Boot, Dolphin Club, Paisley Park, Forum, Lancia Odeon, DUB Club and the Octagon in Eltmann and invitations to clubs in Munich and festivals in Italy followed.

In 1996 he and two partners founded the legendary TOS Club, where he organized weekly club nights and after hours and quickly became a well known musician in the Nuremberg techno scene for blowing up the dancefloors with his unique music style. 

His characteristics as a deliverer of music are within the inexhaustible dimensions of sound, creating imaginary dream worlds within his listeners and taking them on a journey full of depth, magic and desires – always with an unconditional love to music. His repertoire ranges from rhythmic, spherical house and techno sounds filled with lots of emotion to downtempo and acid sounds with the right drive to dance the nights away.

In 1998, after two successful years of TOS, the club mysteriously burned down and Martin moved to Munich. In 2000 he founded his family and took a time out for several years. During his break the love to music still accompanied him in private, but now the passion for Djing and the wish to create musical suspense grew strong again. And so he‘s back, more motivated than ever, presenting new monthly mixes on his Soundcloud. In the near future Martin Groovic will surely be seen and heard again in the clubs.
