004 omega station forty cats remix

Stretching out towards the Blue Mountains in the west of bustling Sydney, George Alhabel creates an "Omega Station". A seismic bass groove reverberates across plateau escarpments as heavy beat anchors the rhythmic scaffold. White-noise effects crash like waves onto the rocks below, as smooth pads and glistening synths create a momentary stillness before a powerful denouement extends over the sonic horizon. A frequent flyer over the Mango Alley airwaves finds Belarusian star soaring to new heights. Subtle references to "Omega Station" create a new variation that finds brilliance in new aural overtones through Michael A. Familiarly dark, a powerful force of nature rises out of bassline dominance and hypnotic rhythm.

Returning from "Astrona", ARTN presents a new vision of "Omega Station" from a land of rich history and geographical splendour. Cedar tree forests create a verdant canopy as swirling synths whistle through ancient branches to the white-capped peaks of Mount Lebanon. A pulsating bassline develops in familiar patterns as syncopated synth phrases exude class. A new icebreaker from Forty Cats reaches dizzying heights with a bouncing bassline and driving rhythmic force. Cascading melodic effects glisten over Mount Visokaya to provide new sonic focus for "Omega Station", pitching and wheeling in glissando power.

Lebanese Blonde

The souls re-emergence,
Cradled in the clouded blossom,
Of a roses un-guarded entrance.

Governed by wonderment,
Longing for reprieve,
There's movement within this sewn seed,

Untamed in a boundless garden,
Beckoned for light.

the gasp in deep surrender,
of these fields unknown

The souls emergence,
I am home

Moontide - Longing

A rising artist with a strong set of progressive house credentials to his name, Ric Niels returns to Particles with his "Finding Myself" EP. From his Argentinean home, over 200 production credits have come out of the Ric Niels production studio including work for the Soundgarden, Balkan Connection and Mango Alley. A 3-track EP in October 2020 saw the "Erised" EP take centre stage as Ric now returns with two new original pieces.

The "Finding Myself" title track is a fizzing percussive gem that drives forward with heavy beat while a filtered synth motif gradually comes into range. A deep bassline groove adds dancefloor prowess while a swathe of stereo-panned effects and clave top-line add intrigue. A sublime array of synth phrases enters the fray at the mid-point breakdown before the relentless groove hits the heights once again in the second half. Following the same driving rhythmic narrative, a shaker-fuelled percussion and strong grooved cadence effortlessly propel "Reasons" forward apace. A simultaneous and immaculately syncopated bassline adds weight and gravitas before a suite of emotive synth lines create tension and emotion aplenty as the track pauses for breath. Closing with the metronomic rhythmic layers of the first half, Ric Niels' talent is in full view.

A Canadian star with work signed to the likes of JOOF, Univack and Mango Alley, Dowden has been at the forefront of the progressive house scene since a debut for Yin in 2017. During that time, support has come from the likes of Soul Button, John 00 Fleming and Quivver, as Dowden now makes his Particles debut with a typically masterful reworking of "Reasons". Taking rhythmic elements from the original and transforming them with a hefty bassline groove, haunting melodic lines build in elegant fashion. Ethereal pads sweep gently across the sonic background while a searing lead cuts through the rhythmic melange like an acetylene torch. Picking up the pace once more in the second half, the Dowden remix is a powerful illustration of technique and craftsmanship.

A second remix sees another Particles debutant take their bow in the shape of Bodai. A talented DJ and producer, the Argentinean's performances in Australia, Chile and across her homeland have been coupled with a clutch of releases on the likes of Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and her own Auditen and AMITABHA labels. Supported by Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J and Eelke Kleijn, Bodai arrives on Particles with a standout reworking of "Finding Myself" which revels in a stripped back broken beat backdrop carved from the Ric Niels' rhythmic foundation. The growling bassline from the original can also be found front and centre amidst an immaculately syncopated synth line. New vocal phrasing makes its mark at the mid-point in a metronomic loop, before melodies, bass and beats combine in the second half to majestic effect.

With two new original tracks and a pair of remixes from Dowden and Bodai, Ric Niels has created a wonderful journey to "Finding Myself".

Michael A - Ellipsis (Fabri Lopez Remix) - SPECIFIC REMASTERED FINAL DIGITAL

Introducing 'Concealed Weapons', a massive double A-sider in the melodic techno spectrum brought two you by two of the top Dutch producers in the genre.

First up it's Mitch De Klein. You might know him from his rougher work on main techno labels such as Filth On Acid and ELEVATE, but this time he shows his melodic side with 'Secret Lake', a proper summer main stage anthem!

Then we move on to Footprint who is no stranger to the Manual Music label family, having made several well received appearances on the Cinematique label. The veteran Dutch producer has struck gold with 'West Of The River', a melancholic and emotional piece of work. Simply lovely!

'The colombian artist Dabeat (Replug, Perfecto Black, Plattenbank) presents this Omen EP, in his first appearance on Univack Records.

This EP contains 3 original tracks which summarize perfectly the complex and genuin style of David Barragan (Dabeat), full of emotional elements in a perfect harmony with the drums grooves, making an amazing progression from the beginning of the tracks. 

No doubt Dabeat has been one of the most active artists in the latest 2 years, and no doubt he will be one of the most important artists for the next 2021. This Omen EP is a perfect example of his quick preferment in the progressive house scene.'
