Hicky & Kalo make a long awaited return to the label with the ‘Coming Back Home’ EP. ​
​
Bucking the trend of modern artists, Hicky & Kalo made their name for carving out a niche in the underground scene as resident DJs at the one of its kind Stereo Club in Montreal, as well as landing releases on some progressive house top labels such as Mango Alley, onedotsixtwo and Replug. And of course by spreading great music trough their own imprint, Plaisir Sonores.

The EP opens with ‘Coming Back Home’, where a dark groove emerges with spiky bass. Lightening the track, pretty arps dance playfully as heavily effected vocal ad libs add depth. One for the late floors waiting for the sun to make its first appearance of the day. 
‘From Sea to Sea’ continues the trend; deep satisfying low end grooves juxtaposed by breezy arps. A muscular, and ultimately danceable floor filler. 
Finally, the pair lay down some ‘Wisdom’(!), a lighter number with tons of character. Ethereal and uplifting, the groove is richly melodic and hypnotic from the off.

Plaisirs Sonores Records proudly announces the release of the 'Shining EP' by prolific DJ/ producer D-Nox and Sharon Graziani, with a captivating remix by label founders Hicky & Kalo. This new release will be available on all major platforms from August 25th, 2023.

D-Nox, a DJ Awards winner with a career spanning over 30 years in electronic music, teams up with sound engineer and music producer Sharon Graziani for a rolling progressive house original 'Shining.' It features atmospheric synths, catchy melodies, and trancy-ish vocals that create an entrancing sonic journey. The synergy between D-Nox's seasoned musical artistry and Graziani's adept production expertise shines through in the track's remarkable depth and dynamism.

Complementing the original, label founders Hicky & Kalo take the track on a darker ride with their remix. This version of 'Shining' emphasizes the strong melody, adding a hefty kick and edgy vibe, transforming it into a peak-time dancefloor weapon. 

Hicky & Kalo shared their experience, stating: "We've played this track a few times with great success. It always works so well in a club setting. The reception has been incredible, and we are excited for the wider audience to hear this."

D-Nox's illustrious career is notable for his international bookings and his exceptionally outstanding success in Brazil, where he commands a significant fanbase. Starting his musical journey in the early 90s, he became a significant figure in his hometown's music scene, Düsseldorf. He further cemented his mark in the industry by being one half of the duo D-Nox & Beckers. The duo has been releasing hits on prestigious labels such as Bedrock, Suara, and Sudbeat since 2004, in addition to D-Nox's own label, Sprout Music.

Sharon Graziani, the founder of Shagra Recordings, brings a wealth of experience from various projects like Monolock Music and Sandokan Music. His influences range from classic music and ethnic beats to the rhythms of nature, contributing a unique flavor to the 'Shining EP.'

The 'Shining EP' is a testament to the relentless pursuit of creating music that not only resonates with listeners but also pushes the boundaries of progressive house music. It is a significant addition to Plaisirs Sonores Records' growing catalogue and represents the label's ethos of delivering driving yet emotionally rich music.

We welcome back Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital.  EP includes an original production by Juan Pablo Torre and "Anxiety", a brilliant collaboration with Kamilo Sanclemente, in addition to a remix by Kastis Torrau. Definitely, two south american artists to keep an eye on!

Release info: 

"The 58th release on Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital features a Colombian artist of growing global renown.  Juan Pablo Torrez continues his rise to prominence with a new EP titled "Two Souls Reconciliation", which includes a collaboration with his fellow countryman, Kamilo Sanclemente, and a remix from modern-day icon, Kastis Torrau.

Based in the central-southern city of Medellin, Juan Pablo Torrez has been a regular across the clubs of his Colombian homeland.  Sharing the stage with the industry's elite including Anthony Pappa and Erick Morillo, Torrez also curates the monthly "Clubsonica" podcast based on his successful record label of the same name.  A producer with over a decade's experience, Juan has seen his music grace the catalogs of Parquet, MNL, and Natura Viva, with an appearance on Perspectives alongside Kamilo Sanclemente back in October 2015.  Now making his solo debut, "Two Souls Reconciliation" is a strong, driving affair with layers of melodic intrigue found between grooved arpeggios and pulsating chord progressions.  Building to a denouement at the mid-point, the track settles back into an easy melodic and rhythmic framework that has found early support from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren at ADE 2017.

Partner track "Anxiety" sees Juan joining forces again with Kamilo Sanclemente.  Bursting onto the underground dance scene in early 2016, Sanclemente's work has quickly shone like a beacon, lighting up Einmusika, J00F, and FSOE with his distinctive production credentials.  Reveling in its tropical percussive claves and woodblocks with offbeat hi-hats and thumping beats, "Anxiety" resonates with its powerful bassline before an uneasy melodic motif plays on the connotations inherent in the title.  The track has already found its way into the sets of Hernan Cattaneo, who included it during his landmark Forja performance in Cordoba last December.

Iconic artists of the caliber embodied by Lithuanian, Kastis Torrau, need little introduction.  Multiple residencies across the most acclaimed clubs of his homeland and releases on Last Night On Earth, Hope Recordings, and Click Records have cast a golden glow over his career.  Kastis was the winner of Sasha's "Cut Me Down" remix competition back in 2011 alongside studio mates Donatello & Arnas D.  His remix of "Anxiety" is a typically impressive offering.  Capturing the essence of the original, a huge bass groove wraps itself round a ticking percussive cadence and strong beat.  Building effortlessly, melodic patterns emerge as they build to a rousing crescendo before creating new variations in the latter half, showcasing genuine skill and craft."

Release Info: 
D-Nox returns to DJ Zombi’s Beat Boutique with long time partner in crime, Beckers for a muscular acid workout - Polyacid - with remixes from Navar, Stereo Underground and Definition.   

Over the last 10 years, Germany’s D-Nox and Beckers have enjoyed something of a cult existence. Formed from a mutual love of the music, they were individually successful already; their meeting of minds transcending that almost immediately. Meaty and full of soul, their releases soundtrack a million e-moments with regular support from an army of peers in the Prog House world. Polyacid is no exception. Built around a bubbling acid line it twists and weaves its tale to a point where you’re genuinely upset when it finishes. 

  With such big boots to fill, the remixers had to pull out all the stops. First up, Dutch wunderkind and Lost and Found regular, Navar opts for a stripped back approach hanging the main motifs from a calming percussive network of hats, claps and woodblocks. Stereo Underground builds his mix around a repeating synth hook which quickly mesmerises as he defty mutates and twists its sound throughout. Rounding out the pack, Definition marries afro-house percussion with strings and piano to create a wondrous light and dark opus, bubbling with acidic undertones.

onedotsixtwo keeps the worldwide progressive flame burning bright in 2020 with its latest release, bringing together the finest talent from 3 continents. Renowned Buenos Aires-based DJ/Producer Sebastian Busto makes his label debut with December and The Miracle, and the label enlists the remix talents of Dmitry Molosh, Zankee Gulati and Lèrr to create an array of stunning interpretations across another exceptional 5-track onedotsixtwo package.

The pulsating energy of 'December' is immediately mesmerising as Sebastian Busto creates the perfectly beautiful dreamy atmosphere that he is renowned for. Elegantly layered melodies float and flow with flawless precision, as his unique musical vision is showcased magnificently. Following on, 'The Miracle' dives deeper with a wonderfully evocative percussive groove and equally blissful melodic layering that, once again, perfectly displays this Argentine artist’s immense talents to perfection. Having previously released on the likes of Balkan Connection, The Soundgarden and Movement, Sebastian Busto’s onedotsixtwo debut will be a 2020 highlight for sure.

The first December remix comes from Belarusian DJ/Producer Dmitry Molosh. Celebrated for his inimitable progressive sound, Dmitry is at the forefront of the new wave of the current scene as one of its most talented forward thinking electronic artists. His stunning remix is fuelled with funk and fire to create an utterly enthralling ride fuelled with rising anticipation and spine-tingling euphoric elation. 

Through his love of exploring progressive realms of music, the Sydney-based Australian DJ/Producer Zankee Gulati is rapidly making his mark on the scene. A blossoming production career has already seen him exhibit his immense talents on the likes of Clinique, Soundteller, Particles, Visceral, Balkan Connection, and most recently, The Soundgarden. His remix of December has seen exclusive early support from Hernan Cattaneo on his Resident radio show, and it is easy to see why. Deeply hypnotic and with a wonderfully intricate arrangement this is masterfully melodic music of the highest order.

Completing this expansive 5-track package is an utterly blissful remix of The Miracle courtesy of Lèrr. This Montenegrin DJ/Producer is recognised for his unique style combining groovy, deep, melodic, progressive vibes. His enchanting musical creations have appeared on Balkan Connection, Sound Avenue, Asymmetric, Trndmsk and more so far in 2020, and his deeply delicious reworking of The Miracle stands out as one of his finest yet.

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!'

This is most noticeable with their  latest EP, Astre, featuring a Soul Button remix.'
