Roger Martinez's Higher States opens the new year by welcoming Ra Duh to the label for his debut EP. Best known for his The Real Experience artist moniker, Romanian artist Ra Duh has been a fixture of the progressive house underground for over a decade. Releases via Aboriginal, Balkan Connection and Laika Sounds sit as discography highlights, showcasing a dark groovy sound favoured by a wide assortment of genre tastemakers. Also a highly regarded DJ, Ra Duh has played an active role in his country's nightlife, programming music for some of Romania's trendiest events and venues, most notably Pârtia Cârlibaba, RoBurn and Untold Festival, amongst others. With the final Real Xperience release coming in 2022, the Romanian artist has spent the last two years retooling his sound for the launch of his Ra Duh alias. Now, as 2025 begins to take shape, he embarks on this new production journey, notching the moniker's debut 'Sigma / Ganymede' via Higher States.

Lead track ‘Sigma' finds Ra Duh collaborating with fellow countryman Hadrian aka Audio State. The Cluj Napoca resident has achieved measurable success under his Audio State alias, with a superlative string of releases featuring a club-effective approach to modern techno music. Pan Pot's Second State and Mistress Barbara's Terminal M have been landing spots for Audio State's premiere projects, in turn earning praise from the underground's elite guard. Now debuting his new artist moniker Hadrian, he teams up with Ra Duh on ‘Sigma'. Full of darker monochromes, the duo's creative synergy shines across this deep chuggy cut, one complete with tension filled builds, swing-heavy rhythms and a devilish effects narrative which pushes the journey to the very edges. Vibrant chord stabs provide an enduring main theme leading into the break, tactfully percolating as the interlude evolves, before melting down to a finale of looping hypnotism.

The release concludes with ‘Ganymede' which finds Ru Duh operating in solo capacity. The Romanian expounds his progressive vision here, with spacious rhythms and wispy sonics blanketing tough kick drums and chunky basslines. Clever percussive co-actions marry squelchy stabs and orbiting effects, while an inventive break highlighted by mediterranean motifs and an understated build preludes a finale of charming overlays and carefully controlled sonic manipulations.

Continuing a strong spring season, roku welcomes Gaston Sosa to the label for his debut EP. Since first appearing in 2019 as part of 3rd Avenue’s ‘We Are The Future’ series, Argentinean artist Gaston Sosa has enjoyed a steady rise within the global progressive house scene. Noted for his blend of groovy basslines and cutting edge design qualities, the San Luis resident has excelled at creating his own brand of progressive house, making him one of Argentina’s emerging talents. Flown Records, Mango Alley and The Soundgarden, amongst others have been vehicles for some of Gaston’s most notable work, in turn earning support from progressive house tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. With 2025 being highlighted by an EP for Kebin van Reeken’s Venture Records, Gaston now adds roku to his discography with ‘New Beginning’, alongside remixes from HAFT and Fabri Lopez.

The release concludes with Fabri Lopez making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Mayo’.Once touted as one of Argentina’s top up and coming progressive house producers, Villa Mercedes resident Fabri Lopez is now a well-established veteran of the genre. With a career spanning the better part of a decade, Fabri has taken his far-reaching sound to revered imprints such as Clubsonica, Juicebox Music, Mango Alley, onedotsixtwo and The Soundgarden; while progressive house tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren have been supporters along the way. With a remix for Forty Cats’ PURRFECTION imprint getting Fabri’s 2025 off to a strong start, the Villa Mercedes resident now adds roku to his resume with a resurgent remix of ‘Mayo’. Smooth and rhythmic throughout, the Argentine opts for a peakime approach for what results in an uplifting seven-minute journey. Cosmic effects and deconstructed vocals unite across the first act, perfectly setting up a heartfelt break. Meandering atmospheres create a wispy backdrop as the centrepiece evolves, adding an otherworldly flair to the journey, before a sequence of key changing swells sparks a synth driven drop to close out the release on a spirited note.
