Plaisirs Sonores Records is proud to unveil Golden Flight EP, a dynamic new release featuring a collaboration between Nicolas Viana and Federico Monachesi. The EP includes two original tracks, Golden Flight and Coral, bringing together the unique styles and strengths of each artist to deliver a compelling progressive house experience.

Nicolas Viana, from Argentina, has been steadily building his reputation in the progressive and melodic house scene with releases on respected labels and support from leading DJs worldwide. He previously appeared on Plaisirs Sonores Records with Endgame, a standout collaboration with Anonimat. Known for lush melodies, emotive atmospheres, and impeccable production skills, Nicolas continues to craft music that resonates both on the dancefloor and in personal listening.

Federico Monachesi, hailing from Italy, makes his debut on Plaisirs Sonores Records with this release. Federico has developed a signature sound that blends organic textures, deep grooves, and emotive chord progressions. With a growing presence in the international electronic music scene, he brings a refined sense of musicality and energy to this collaboration.

The EP opens with the title track, Golden Flight, an uplifting, melody-driven journey with hypnotic rhythms perfect for sunset & sunrise moments. Coral offers a deeper, more intricate exploration, demonstrating the artists versatility while maintaining a strong groove for the dancefloor.

"We are thrilled to have Nicolas and Federico on this release. Both tracks capture a beautiful balance of melody and energy, and they always hit perfectly in a club setting" — Hicky & Kalo, founders of Plaisirs Sonores Records.

Golden Flight EP will be released worldwide on September 5th via Plaisirs Sonores Records.

In a consumer world like ours, electronic music has become a disposable and generic product. Plaisirs Sonores Records tries to distance itself from this industry by carefully selecting emergent and original artists who come from everywhere around the globe. These new talents are often paired with artists of greater experience to bring a new perspective to their original work. The result is a quality music endowed with emotions that cannot be consumed as a simple good. 

Let yourself drift away in this musical journey that will make you go through lots of emotions.

'The same deep, transcendent melodies that made Hicky & Kalo crowd favorites in Montréal, have also left a lasting impression on the city’s progressive and deep house scenes. As founders of the record label, Plaisirs Sonores, the duo has already signed Kris Davis and Rauschhaus, among other esteemed artists. Recently, Hicky & Kalo’s original track, ‘Astre’, was remixed by the ethereal techno god himself, Soul Button. 

Though Hicky & Kalo command the Québec club circuit, it was this collaboration that blasted them off to the transnational realm, with an acclaimed premiere at SXM Festival. The prolific pair will continue to build their public profile this month, when names like Hernan Cattaneo and Graziano Raffa join the roster of exciting artists to release new tunes for their Plaisirs Sonores imprint. Stay tuned.'

'Also accomplished producers, the duo’s deep melodic sounds have found a home on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, When We Dip’s XYZ and their own Plaisirs Sonores imprint. Now as 2021 begins for Hicky and Kalo, the duo further their foothold within the progressive underground, debuting on Cid Inc’s Replug Records with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Eyes Of Truth’. We had a chance to catch up with the Canadian duo for an exclusive interview just prior to the release. Enjoy!'
