► Release Info:

A rising Brazilian star with a growing portfolio of high-quality releases to his name, Tonaco makes his Meanwhile full EP debut with the 3-track "Disurbia / Avalon / Crackdown". Hailing from the central Brazilian state of Toncantins, famed for its cerrado, rivers and soybean plantations, Tonaco has planted his own roots within the underground dance scene with a growing list of releases to his name. From a 2019 debut on Transensations with "Vollus", a further quarter century of production credits have followed with work appearing on such leading labels as onedotsixtwo, Mango Alley and Moonlight. After first appearing on July 2022's "Meanwhile Excursions" compilation with "Sententrional", Tonaco now returns to Meanwhile with a first full solo EP. Opener "Disurbia" is a growling, rumbling affair that immediately revels in an unsettling atmosphere of effects and growing synth swells. Building easily within a sonic framework of hypnotic rhythmic energy, a smooth arpeggio brings a moment of light melodic touch at the breakdown before the huge low-end dynamism creates and a seething, head-shaking monster reminiscent of early 2000s progressive breaks. A high-energy backdrop fizzes across "Avalon" with its rapid-fire hi-hats and metronomic snare while a syncopated bassline adds groove aplenty. Entering its mid-section, an enticing and free-flowing middle eastern sounding melody lilts across the mid-range, full of mysticism and visions of desert landscapes. Hitting its stride once more in the third movement, a growling spoken vocal and driving rhythm create a mesmerising sequence towards the outro. The final track sees "Crackdown" continue the percussive narrative of earlier tracks as a hypnotising combination of tom fills and carefully placed melodic rhythms combine to create a soundscape full of vitality and brio. Building at the half-way stage with a wonderful bassline pattern, a light and airy melody then fills the sonic spectrum into a gloriously evocative breakdown of echoing keys and spatial effects, before dropping back into the smooth rolling groove of toms, hats and driving beat. Making a further name for himself with a trio of assured and immaculately produced tracks, Tonaco excels with "Disurbia / Avalon / Crackdown".

Organic Space

Emcroy - Organic Space (Ignacio Hernández Remix) [South America Avenue]

Driven to produce a thoroughly modern and highly individual style of underground dance music, Amháin has consistently found himself at the bleeding edge of innovative progressive house. Using his innate skills to transport listeners into new and distant worlds both from behind the decks at the likes of Burning Man in the US and Rainbow Serpent and Lightning in a Bottle his Australian home, Amháin never fails to impress in the studio with a clutch of statement releases. The Purr, Sound Avenue, Mango Alley and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile have all played host to his talents while April 2023's "Evaporate" EP was a standout release on Particles.

A pair of remixes for Michael A in January 2022 and Erdi Irmak a year later, showcased Amháin's production talent on Proton Music as the New South Wales-based star now releases his debut original EP for the label. Taking two distinct forms, "Starseed" is a blissful, beautifully imagined track that drives easily forward in its "Night Mix" with effortless percussive verve, driving beat and bassline groove. Subtle melodic flourishes float across the mid-range with textured pads and white-noise effect before a glorious breakdown showcases the bass and melodic combination with spine-tingling majesty. The rich bassline force and ingenious rhythmic cadence mark a significant shift in direction during the "Sunrise Mix". Familiar melodies drift easily throughout the 7-minute piece, but the broken-beat vibe and body-shaking groove take "Starseed" in a smooth and effortless new direction, perfect for warm southern hemisphere early mornings.

On remix duties, Sri Lankan star, Subandrio, takes centre stage. A firm favourite among the Proton faithful, the Colombo-based DJ and producer is recognised by his ability to "paint a masterpiece every night with energy and synergy", resulting in him being crowned "Pioneer Middle East DJ of the Year". A stellar cast of remixes represents the Subandrio journey thus far with interpretations of the likes of Matter, Trilucid and Juan Deminicis dating back to a 2016 debut of Pete K. Returning for an eighth time, the Subandrio remix of "Starseed" is a gloriously deep and sophisticated offering that revels in a suite of trademark production characteristics centred around a smooth rolling groove and syncopated bassline. Evolving in silky fashion, familiar melodies reveal themselves with subtly filtered reverence, while a cast of new production material can be heard via the intricate percussive foundation and elegantly crafted melodies at the breakdown. The result is another masterful reworking that showcases Subandrio's skill and technique.

Growing to new heights, Amháin reaches out into the cosmos with "Starseed", ably abetted by Subandrio and his explosive remix.

Anton Borin & Bondarev - Multiverse (DJ Ruby Remix) [Warpp]

Second Sine delivers one of the most unique progressive house tracks of the year with “Labyrinth.” As the track unfolds, it pulls you deeper into its maze with its haunting main theme. The relentless groove features all the trademark sounds that have made Second Sine one of the most recognizable artists in the scene.

With numerous Top 10 tracks under his belt, including recent collaborations with Max Graham on “Mango” and “Yomo,” we’re confident that “Labyrinth” will follow in the same tradition.

This time the artwork is by our talented exceptional artist Elisa, who perfectly captures and describes the complexity of labyrinth with her unique style.

► Release Info:

Following the success of its debut release, Luum Records continues its sonic journey with an absolute monster of a second release: Extrema EP, from the on fire Brazilian talent of the moment, Tonaco. Two tracks that perfectly balance power and depth.

Kicking things off is “Extrema”, a hypnotic Progressive House track with a punchy rhythmic base, crisp percussions and an enveloping progression that evolves in a subtle but unstoppable way. Atmospheric layers and ascending arpeggios create a sense of tension and release perfect for climactic moments of the night. An absolute killer on the dance floor.

Rounding out the release, we have the mesmerizing “Gautama”, where Tonaco takes us into a more introspective journey, with ethereal melodies and an addictive groove. Its expansive pads and organic textures generate an atmosphere of mysticism, ideal for creating depth and dynamism throughout the night. A must have in your musical arsenal.

Arno Gonzalez is producing a modern house sound that sometimes ventures into melodic territory close to Electronica, the Angevin artist was first spotted by the Parisian label Missive, then by Timid Records, on which he released his debut album “Encounters”, as well as a number of EPs and remixes...

Today, he is one of the spearheads and leaders of Brique Rouge, David Duriez's label, with whom he is on a mission to perpetuate and reinvent a certain vision of House and Techno music.

With this second album, which marks “the end of innocence”, Arno explodes the codes of his music to better transcend them. We find his inimitable touch, a particular sound that is sometimes minimal, sometimes warm and melodious, a real signature on 13 tracks that tell a real story.

If this is the end of innocence, it's also the beginning of maturity.




Brique Rouge label is a pillar of the French House underground since 1999.

The label continues to disseminate the electronic sound David Duriez believes in, far from formatting and excessive vulgarity. An eclectic electronic sound that remains rooted in the underground and on vibe above all.  In general, the team's artists benefit from a carte blanche, and it's above all the state of mind that counts. The label isn't looking for success, it's a success. The success of being able to release music without compromise. With one release a week on platforms since 2020, the label (and its divisions RZ Muzik & Obliqu3) is seen as a key player on the French underground electronic scene, given the activism it demonstrates.

Faithful to the spirit of this music's beginnings - Acid House, Chicago and New York House, or the power of Belgian or Detroit Techno - the label has been churning out releases for 25 years without ever sinking into cynicism, nostalgia or parody. Brique Rouge has established itself as a key French label for the distribution of emerging and creative artists (known and unknown) who draw their inspiration from the roots of the genre, but also pursue the search for new vibes. Without commercial imperatives, the label innovates and denies itself nothing. No formatting, no time sacrificed on the altar of the platforms of streaming, with Brique Rouge it's not the face of the human behind the machine that is highlighted, but its music.
