Look for a Reason

NAHS, Polo (AR) - Look for a Reason (Gaston Ponte Remix) [Balkan Connection South America]

MW005 - Luka Sambe - Alive Is The Meaning (inc. RIGOONI, Tripswitch remixes)

Earning a growing reputation with its distinctive sound and immaculate curation, Meanwhile delivers another label debutant as Luka Sambe reveals, “Alive is the Meaning”. A pair of remixes from Brazil and the UK complete a global portrait.

Michael Acuri is no stranger to the electronic music scene. Well-respected across the underground dance fraternity with his unique blend of progressive, tech and deep house, his Luka Sambe soubriquet continues to supply music of the highest quality. Indeed, releases for Guy J’s Lost & Found, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Robert Babicz’s Babiczstyle illustrate precisely why the Australian is one of the industry hottest properties counting almost 300 production credits to his name, stretching back some 7 years. Immediately compelling, Luka Sambe’s Meanwhile debut bristles with percussive energy in the opening phrases, as a heavy kick and cavernous sub-bass provide the perfect syncopated framework for a developing array of melodic textures. Building with delicate and consummate ease, “Alive is the Meaning” sees a glorious range of free-flowing melodies percolate and swirl across a 9-minute magnum opus that hypnotises with its dizzying stereo-panning and shimmering arpeggiated patterns rising to a rousing crescendo. The result is a gloriously constructed, highly original track.

Operating out of his Sao Paolo home, RIGOONI is a relative newcomer to the progressive house scene after a January 2018 debut for Digitment Records. Quickly making waves with his standout compositions, the self-taught producer found his music represented on Nick Warren’s Balance compilation via “Dreamed Numbers” in October 2019. Moreover, February 2020 saw the release of his “Serenade” EP for Warren’s The Soundgarden imprint. Supported by the likes of Nicolas Rada, Armen Miran and Hernan Cattaneo, RIGOONI’s additional work for the likes of Superordinate Music, Clinique and MNL, have shone a light on the Brazilian artist. A pounding beat juxtaposed against subtle melodic phrasing characterises the RIGOONI remix as the track moves with power and hypnotic pace. Making clever use of core themes within the Luka Sambe original, RIGOONI’s skill is take these as a starting point and extend on them through a series of new motifs and free-flowing patterns that reveal themselves at the breakdown and into an innovative third movement.

Nick Brennan is an artist who needs little in the way of an introduction to the underground dance cognoscenti. Through his Tripswitch pseudonym, the UK artist has delivered a multitude of material over a career stretching back almost two decades. A celebrated DJ with a global performance schedule and the monthly “Harmonics” show on Frisky Radio, Tripswitch’s production career has seen releases on Sudbeat, Global Underground and Bedrock. His own onedotsixtwo continues to provide a powerful vehicle for his own music alongside a host of talented others and a Meanwhile debut provides a glorious reworking of “Alive is the Meaning”. Glistening with a rich melodic sheen that has its roots in the Luka Sambe original, the remix showcases a wide-reaching gamut of production material from the Tripswitch studio. Pulsating waves of sound flow gently across the left-right spectrum. Shimmering keys twinkle alongside multi-layered pads and swells that rise and fall with ease, while a sumptuous bassline groove then adds weight and structure to a spell-binding interpretation.

Alive through sound, Luka Sambe, RIGOONI and Tripswitch have all found meaning through their immaculate production work.

onedotsixtwo welcomes Oliver & Tom, those Argentine masters of groove and emotion, to showcase more of their exceptional groove dynamics with ‘Platurno’ and ‘Southern Lakes’, following on from their debut ‘Penny’ EP (ODST0032) and their uniquely beautiful remix interpretation of Ian Dillon’s ‘Lucid Dream’ (ODST0033). This superb package is completed with a melodic masterpiece remix of ‘Platurno’ from Melbourne’s emotive master GMJ.

Having been originally introduced to the onedotsixtwo global audience via their ‘True Level’ contribution to Gustin’s excellent ‘Synchronicity’ (ODST0019) mix comp, Oliver & Tom’s skilled musicianship – a symbiosis that originated in their childhood, having grown up together playing guitar and drums, followed by studying piano and synthesizer – has seen them become firm label favourites.

The pulsating ‘Platurno’, with its joyous and beautiful layers of melody, once again highlights the duo’s exceptionally skilled musicianship that sets them apart from the crowd. Their ability to create perfectly arranged productions is further highlighted by the equally heavenly, melody-rich ‘Southern Lakes’. 

GMJ’s boundless passion for deep emotive electronic music has ensured his relentless rise up the ladder of global recognition in recent years, and having recently showcased his masterful abilities with ‘Periphery’ (ODST0027), he now works his remix magic on ‘Platurno’ to create one of his trademark, joyously euphoric, proper progressive interpretations, to complete yet another exceptional onedotsixtwo package.

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Dougal Fox to the label for his debut EP. As a DJ for the better part of two decades, the UK artist has been a fixture in his country's nightlife, programming music for storied venues such as Pacha. Also travelling abroad, the London resident has spent time in both Australia and New Zealand, playing Sydney's iconic superclub HOME, as well as Wellington's 'Sandwiches'. Having honed his skills as a producer for some time, Dougal now embarks on his first official release entitled 'Nostalgia | Ataraxia', alongside remixes from Michael A and Oliver and Tom.

Getting the release underway and setting the sonic aesthetic for Dougal's sound is 'Nostalgia'. Warm beats, rolling bass tones and striking percussion set the piece in motion, as dreamy arps and wispy atmospheres encase the framework. Buoyant stabs and aquatic effects then further the narrative, as a series of harmonic drifts elevate mood into the main break. As the interlude builds, a bed of choppy percussion begins an exhilarating rise, with modulation peaking as a wave of noise fades off into a groovy drop and glowing finale. The companion piece 'Ataraxia' proves to be a perfect complement with its deep, spacious groove and tantalizing electronics. Luminous arps dance amidst a maze of driving percussion, perfectly shifting energy into the main break. Cosmic and meditative in equal measure, the interlude saturates your senses with a cascading motif, running through tasteful modulation, before reaching a gentle crescendo and purring final movement.

The lone interpretation of 'Nostalgia' is provided by Michael A who returns to the label for his second appearance. Hailing from Belarus, Michael sits amongst progressive music's elite guard. As a favourite of the genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, Michael has also showcased his music on top tier labels, including Cid Inc's Replug Records, Hope Recordings and Sudbeat Music. Now making a welcome return to Clubsonica, Michael provides a powerful rendition of 'Nostalgia'. Engaging from the outset, spongy kicks and rhythmic pulses converge for a fluid foundation, while percussive splashes and astral sonics bring character and texture to the groove. Building a mysterious narrative across the first act, hazy harmonics shift energy into the main break, where billowing bass swells rise amidst a haze of colourful effects, as the beats drop for a moment of reflective warmth.

The release concludes with Oliver and Tom returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of 'Ataraxia'. Following a successful 2019 that featured releases on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and Balance Music, the Argentinean duo made their Clubsonica debut in September of this year with a well received remix of Kabi's 'Open Road'. Now following an EP for onedotsixtwo, Oliver and Tom return to the label with a gorgeous take on 'Ataraxia'. The Argentinean duo reprocesses the main elements into newfound themes for what sits as an ideal complement to the original. Atop a tough, compact groove comes effervescent phrasing and buoyant tonal themes. Bright and compelling, it's a gorgeous amalgamation of sound which makes for an energetic yet tranquil journey, elegantly melting down across a two-minute interlude, before a spirited final act puts a cap on this creative gem. A gorgeous remix from Oliver and Tom which rounds out a hugely successful Clubsonica debut for Dougal Fox.
