Sometimes people give you the best present without even realising.

While on lockdown Daddy duties, Michel De Hey's daughter had a friend come to play. It gave him that elusive golden studio moment where he could finish an idea he'd been working on, but hadn't found the time to take it over the line. That friend's name was Nova.

'Nova Was Here' pays homage to that classic foundation house sound as Michel puts his Roland SH101 through its paces. A purring bassline, soft focus jacking beats and lavish springy keys.

Long-time friend and kindred spirit, Spectrum founder Joris Voorn agreed and sealed the deal with a much heavier, pulsating 3am twist on the rework. Michel calls it a 'slapintheface' remix and enjoyed every moment of the two weeks he could play it to real life dancefloors until clubs shut back down in The Netherlands. Another stunner from the label boss and a mix that can finally be unveiled for all to enjoy.

Michel De Hey - Nova Was Here

Digital Structures proudly presents the Imagination EP, from the label familiar Sandokan.

Exhibiting an indiscriminate range of sensibilities, Imagination is the convergence of neo-tech with retro-prog, boiled to the brink in the mind of a dreamer.

Murky vibes meet quirky color, with Sandokan’s signature psychedelic minimal making a grungy comeback within fresh yet filthy grooves.

Past three mind-bending original works, the tempers of Imagination are topped off with Sandokan’s rerub of Hold On - a Digital Structures classic by Yuli Fershtat & Psyvona.

Enjoy!

PREMIERE: Sandokan - Imagination (Original Mix) [Digital Structures]

Premiere: Sandokan - Where Is the Ball [Digital Structures]

Starting "Beyond the Future" in August 2020, Kamilo Sanclemente began a new chapter in his relationship with Proton Music. Provided with the perfect vehicle to showcase his original music plus remixes from specially selected artists, Volume 3 now opens with the driving energy of "Ashen Light" with its rolling bassline and relentless beat. Soft and sustained pads add counterweight while beautiful melodies and wobbly arp-lead glisten across the stereo spectrum and into the third movement. With it subtly darker vibe and immaculately grooved bassline, "Haumea" sparkles with its intricate percussive groove and syncopated glassy motifs. Adding complementary synthesised vocal phrases and textured pads to the fray creates a magical piece that opens up in the third movement. In collaboration with Giovanny Aparicio whom Sanclemente partnered with on Volume 2's "Innocense", "Azimut" sees an eighth note stab and reversed synth effects provide a glorious sonic collage that builds with melancholic chord sequences. An emotive bassline progression and shimmering arp phrase adds a touch of class at the breakdown, before the rhythmic foundation and melodic interplay evolves once again post-breakdown.

On remix duties, Proton welcomes back Lanvary for another powerful reworking. A veteran of releases dating back to an April 2017 remix of Matter, the twin-track "Venus" EP in December that year and "Everything You Feel" in October 2019 were notable highlights. Further highlighting production strengths, remixes from Andre Sobota, Hot TuneiK and Ormatie, are now joined by a dark and brooding rework of "Ashen Light" that bristles with analogue bassline power and driving rhythmic force. Meticulously reimagining elements from Lanvary's original, a twisted and delay-laden array of synth lines wend their way across the 7-minute offering with ease to create an atmospheric remix that is an imaginative interpretation of Sanclemente's work.

A regular across the clubs of his Córdoba home as well as a host of appearances in cities including Buenos Aries, Rosario and San Juan, Lucas Rossi also found himself playing at the "Music in the Desert" festival for three consecutive years. The Argentinean's production portfolio is no less impressive with music signed to Amulanga, Balkan Connection and Armen Miran's Hoomidaas. A single remix of Michael A's "Fantasy" in September 2020 marked an impressive Proton Music debut as Lucas Rossi now returns with a delicate blend of progressive and organic house elements that turns "Haumea" into a new and innovative remix. Retaining the fundamental melodic flavour of Sanclemente's original, a deep rhythmic framework is the perfect foundation for a luscious array of textures to blossom into a club-friendly track that is the perfect marriage of remix components and new and additional production material. The result is an immaculate new interpretation from the Lucas Rossi studio.

Through a sublime musical triptych and remixes from Lanvary and Lucas Rossi, Kamilo Sanclemente has hit the jackpot with Vol. 3 of "Beyond the Future".

A career that continues to expand at exponential rate on a stratospheric trajectory, Dutch pairing, Paul Deetman and Jelle Jansen, continue to astound through their Huminal production moniker. As the duo return, once more, to Proton Music, we are extremely proud to bear witness to a further musical evolution with the exceptional, "We Dwell in the Past" EP.

A carefully constructed career path that began with victory in a Dutch national radio DJ contest and grew with invitations to play at large scale techno events in the Amsterdam capital, the Huminal name exploded onto the techno scene via 2011's Amsterdam Dance Event and further triumph in the "Demolition" production contest. Judged by no lesser lights than Marc Romboy and RandS Records head, Renaat Vendepapeliere, "Greeksomnia" went on to spearhead a debut three-track EP for the ever-relevant, FutureForm imprint.

With further DJ appearances across Amsterdam and mainland Europe including a residency at "Electronation" and performances at Brussels' "Groove City Festival", a host of impressive production material has seen the Huminal express train continue to gather pace at lightning rate. Renowned for a distinctive melodic techno styling, original and remix work has garnered a rapidly expanding fan base and blue chip peer support from the likes of Nick Warren, John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo.

Regulars on the Visceral compilation series, original work Lowbit (and the FutureForm debut) has been supplemented by a host of remixes for Mango Alley, Clinique and Yang. Furthermore, a dozen production credits for Particles including the "Acrophobia" and "Pocket Universe" EPs, paved the way for the 2015 "Knocking on the Sky" debut original EP for Proton Music, bookended by remixes for Nikko.Z and Mondkrater.

Returning to Proton Music with another original EP, "We Dwell in the Past" lights up the melodic techno genre. The title track itself charts a subtle creative shift while retaining the unique Huminal character. A complex and intricate percussive bed crackles and clicks with purpose, each component carefully playing its own part in a glorious harmonic symphony. Evolving with an emotive lead line that growls and expands through open filtered wonder, the track's grandeur is fully displayed post-breakdown in a maelstrom of melodic counterpoint, pounding beat and rich texture.

Partner track, "Jester's Disease", continues the strong pounding beat of its predecessor as subterranean bass throbs across the lower frequency range. A delicious gleaming riff wanders across the track providing a strong melodic narrative that opens up in full view post-breakdown; the resultant affect achieving a stunning hypnotic work that is certain to fire synapses and audio receptors in an infectious wave through its dance floor prowess.

Two new tracks from Huminal see them fully forward looking as "We Dwell in the Past".

'Gattaca' EP - Out now on Beatport - lnk.to/gttc-ep

To commemorate the tenth release milestone on Vivrant, Jeremy dug deep in his treasure chest of unreleased gems to curate a special three-track offering worthy of the occasion. “I’ve made a conscious effort of creating a balance between the stuff I play the most, what I think our fans want and what I think will bring something new to what’s already out there. I think this EP is the strongest we put out so far.” 

Already in heavy rotation by friends Yotto, Tim Engelhardt, Khen, Eelke Kleijn, Guy Mantzur, Henry Saiz, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo, the tracks on the ‘Gattaca’ EP succinctly summarise the sound Jeremy’s label has championed since its inception and gives a telltale sign of where it’s going; melancholic, driving and deep.

✦ The Low Down ✦

Bassic Records and Aussie maestro Doppel join forces once again to forge this upcoming release - 'Coil'. This 4 track EP captures the true essence of the underground progressive bush-doof music that Australia is famous for. 

We are delighted to be premiering Harrison Downes' remix of title track 'Coil'. The Tasmanian devil injects a well balanced, warm drive through the tracks sub-harmonics, whilst maintaining the harmonious keys, melodies and aquatic textures from the original. This Harrison Downes blend of these sonic elements makes for a blissful listening experience whether cruising in your lounge room or having a sweaty one mid dance-floor.

✦ The Low Down ✦

Hi all, Jed from SixthSense Australia here. I have decided to personalise this message for this special premiere, by a special person, that's to be released on the famed Digital Structures later this week. 

I've had the pleasure of developing a very dynamic, long distanced musical friendship with South Punk over the last 2 years. His previous releases on Digital Structures had always captured my attention with his distinct, raw sound that evoked my grungy raver spirit from within. As COVID rankled the world, South Punk made the most of his lockdown studio hours, sending me project after project to have a listen to and pass judgement on. 

One South Punk track that stood out from the rest was 'Nothing Is Real'. From the first listen of the very first "WIP", I found my self in my studio lost in the motion of dance whilst developing a serious addiction to listening to 'Nothing Is Real' every single day. The crude, filthy vibe of the track activated my dirtiest bass face as it stuck true to the core values of the "underground" sound our doof subculture has built itself on. I recently had the pleasure of dropping this gangsta as tune at Elements Festival 2020 to a sea of keen pleasure seekers, the response and scenes were beyond WILD. 

It's been extremely heart warming seeing my Israeli brother from another mother - South Punk - develop this into the thunderous minimal techno banger it is today and I am overjoyed that 'Nothing Is Real' has found it's home on the decorated Digital Structures discography. 

We are extremely honoured to premiere this track and hope you find it as special as we do. Please support this release by purchasing through the link above.
