Early Unlocked (Andrea Cassino Remix)

Premiere: Niceshot - Early Unlocked (Andrea Cassino Remix) [Droid9]

Summer is ushered in by the debut of Spanish artist Luis Damora.  
​
Launching his career at the turn of the century, he quickly became famous for his DJing skills as a resident at Madrid hotspots Circus, Pasapoga and more. After living in the UK and US, Luis returned home with new ambition and began releasing music on a number of influential labels including Suara, Toolroom and Armada. ​
​
Opening the EP with 'Echoes of Love', bongo grooves and delicate pads make way for triplet bass and wild reverbed sweeps. Warm and inviting, the track builds up a head of steam mid way with new melodics and bass layers adding depth and interest. The main break is an oasis of calm before the groove consumes you for the second half. ​
​
'How Can I Believe' follows with percussive melancholia. Deep and emotional, the track takes its time to level up with a rolling bass and spiky stab undercurrent. Sonics and icy sweeps keep interest high as the bass does its work on the floor. 

Powerful and soulfully understated, a glorious introduction to the world of Luis Damora!

FOGLIGHT Feel Again

Garance - Yellow Shadows feat. Bunn (Chris Zippel Remix)

'Cid Inc’s Replug Records welcomes Nopi back to the label for his first solo project. Ukrainian artist Nopi brings a surreal beauty to his innovative brand of electronic composition. His colourful synth leads, exotic percussive arrangements and smooth, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a sound that is all his own. Emerging in 2019, Nopi has enjoyed a three-year creative swell, earning the praise of electronic music tastemakers such as Behrouz, Guy J, Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sebastian Leger and more; while All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit and TRYBESof have served as landing spots for his transcendent sound. Having made his Replug debut in 2020 with a collaborative project alongside progressive music star Dmitry Molosh, Nopi now returns to the trailblazing imprint for his first solo effort entitled ‘Nature In The Home’. 

 Continuing to tread the waters between progressive and organic house, Nopi leans closer to the former on first track ‘Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms’. A dizzying dance floor slam powered by potent kick drums and hyperspace effects. Rather than burst into a whirlwind or electronic symphony, Nopi delivers tension through slow burn repetition, dodging expectations and emphasizing his conceptual charm, painting bucolic scenes of solitude, as hypnagogic effects unveil a semi-conscious dreamland, before the Ukrainian’s creative attitude reveals itself during an interlude of colourful synth swagger and mesmerizing progression. 

 Beneath the powerful tidal waves of 'Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms' lies the spellbinding realities of 'Mistake Forest’. Packed to the hilt with drama and emotion, its adventurous spirit is something Nopi relishes in, as he flexes a trance-inducing side of his studio repertoire. A genuine exchange of melody and texture provide the narrative, where themes of introspection and hope get translated by fuzzed out vocal fragments, thought-provoking musicality and machine-gun style grooves. 

 Continuing on a similar monochrome are the nostalgic qualities of the collection’s final selection 'Capadocia’. Profoundly idyllic, it's a composition that further cements Nopi's elusive vision, as its buoyant beginnings morph into a meditative, consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas. Dark rebounding rhythms and rolling basslines set the course for rustic hooks, prismatic effects and metallic arps, which ultimately puts a stamp on this thematic collection from one of progressive music’s rising mavericks.'

Nōpi - Nature In The Home EP

Premiere: Nōpi - Mistake Forest [Replug]

Operating out of his Rosario home, Mariano Favre returns to Particles after a 13-year absence. A renowned name with releases on the likes of Manual Music, Perspectives Digital and Lowbit, the Argentinean artist delivers twin original tracks in "Abundance Mindset", while remixes come from a pair of fellow countrymen.

"Abundance" is a flowing progressive gem with head-shaking percussive top-line, deep-lying bassline groove and heavy kick laying dynamic foundations. Building through its phrases, a rippling arpeggio adds synth joy as epic pads and ethereal vox create additional sonic layers. Building to a powerful crescendo, the track drops back into its vibrant cadence and evocative melodic phrasing to mesmerising effect. "Mindset" continues the angelic vocal phrasing of its partner track as a driving rhythmic framework keeps the intensity high. Soaring synth phrases, spine-tingling arpeggios and plucked strings add to the aural collage at the breakdown before a rising wave of sound heralds a second half filled with dancefloor prowess. Rising and falling ease the track keeps listener intrigue high while a pulsating finale ensures worldwide club support.

Another returning artist sees Matias Chilano continue where he left off with a fourth remix for the label. 2018 saw a trio of reworkings for K Nass, Pysh and Andre Sobota before the Córdoba resident graduated onto Proton Music with new interpretations of Huminal, Erdi Irmak and Sebastian Sellares in 2019 and 2020. Re-establishing himself on Particles, the Matias Chilano remix takes "Abundance" in a trademark direction full of rhythmic prowess and production knowhow. Taking the central melodic themes of the original, a hefty bass groove powers forwards while airy juxtaposed synths sit atop, steeped in emotion. Wrapped in a crisp new rhythmic shell, a familiar arpeggio and swathe of effects criss-cross the stereo spectrum to create a potent and accomplished new interpretation.

An Argentinean artist to come to the attention of the progressive house cognoscenti, Mayro has risen in prominence over the past 4 years. A prolific artist with releases on the likes of Perspectives Digital, Traful and Siona Records, his "Crazy Thoughts" EP in June 2022, with remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Blanka Barbara, saw him make an impressive Particles debut. Now returning, the Mayro remix of "Mindset" is a chunky rhythmic powerhouse that bristles with cavernous bassline and shaker-fuelled percussive intensity. Melodic echoes from the original resonate through the 7-minute piece as a swathe of new production material gives the Mayro interpretation a darker and more contemplative ambience as new melodic patterns swirl in mesmerising patterns throughout the second half.

Through a plethora of new sonic imaginings, Mariano Favre has created an "Abundance Mindset", ably supported by Matias Chilano and Mayro.
