A long-time friend of Proton Music, Andre Sobota, continually impresses with a growing catalogue of original material. Returning to the label, he excels once again with his "Alter Ego".

Consistently at the cutting edge of underground dance music with an ability to cross-over into the mainstream without compromising his sound, Andre Sobota continues to shine. From an official remix of Coldplay and Rihanna's "Princess of China" for EMI to multiple appearances on BBC Radio 1, Sobota's ability to find the pulse of modern dance music is unerring. Moreover, the Brazilian's work for a host of high-calibre imprints has seen him recognised as a master of sound design and melodic phrasing. A regular on the likes of Anjunadeep, Toolroom and microCastle, a half-century of credits for the latter has seen the Andre Sobota's music create a unique following among peers and fans alike. A frequent contributor to Particles and Proton Music since a debut for the latter in November 2009, Sobota quickly found a place in the Proton hall of fame with his remarkable "One Day Out" EP a month later. A host of remixes followed from the likes of Shingo Nakamura, Cid Inc. and Kassey Voorn before a four-year hiatus saw him return with a sublime new interpretation of his debut EP under the cleverly titled "5 Years Outside". New tracks in "Signal", "Concluded" and "Fragments" shone brightly, before two further offerings in July 2017's "Unmute" and June 2018's "Robots", showcased a quartet of tracks reinvigorated further by remixes from Nicolas Rada, Silinder and GMJ and Matter.

Following a remix of Dutch artist, Deeparture, in November 2018, Andre Sobota now returns with the stunning three-track, "Alter Ego". The title track is immediately characterised by a trademark rhythmic framework that provides the perfect vehicle for a rich series of melodies to shimmer into sonic range backed by a gloriously deep and rasping bassline. Building with ease and full of dancefloor intensity, sustained chords and reverb-drenched effects create a mid-point pause before the chunky groove and melodic components pick up the pace in the second half.

"Dreamless" immediately appeals with rolling rhythmic structure and haunting vocal phrasing redolent in complex effects processing. A strong kick supplies dynamic energy as a plucked arpeggio in the breakdown opens up into a sparkling melodic jewel in the third movement. The result is a trademark track Andre Sobota gem.

Final track, "Left Behind", continues the dance floor theme with a pounding beat opening proceedings, before a richly textured and sustained chord heralds a shaker-driven percussive cadence and club-friendly bass groove. Continuing at unrelenting pace, a glistening chord progression comes to the fore as it pans across the stereo spectrum in modulated brilliance at the mid-point. Hitting its straps again in the second half, Sobota's skill is in full evidence as an expertly constructed track evolves from start to finish.

A new musical triptych finds Andre Sobota very much in the limelight with his new "Alter Ego".

WTHI024 - Mazze - Old Tale (Original Mix)

Cid Inc's Replug Records begins the new year by welcoming DJ Zombi to the label for his debut single. Based in Tel Aviv, the Israeli artist has been a fixture of the electronic underground for over a decade. Whether operating as one half of the famed crossover act Weekend Heroes, or under his solo moniker of DJ Zombi, Eli Baltsan is well travelled, having curated music for the world's premiere festivals and trendiest venues. With a renewed focus on his solo productions in recent years, DJ Zombi has found a home on Guy J's Armadillo Records, Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank Records, Beatfreak Recordings, Chapter 24 and his own Beat Boutique imprint. Now making his much anticipated Replug debut, DJ Zombi presents ‘Octopus' alongside a remix from Cid Inc & Orsen. 

DJ Zombi is an artist who has worn many stylistic hats over the last two years, compiling a discography that features a clever amalgamation of genres. With ‘Octopus' he takes a deeper more melodic approach, one which has already been winning over crowds during his sets in recent months. Anchored by a warm, full bodied groove, its rhythmic core comes up quickly, with layers of exotic drums carrying a buoyant cadence. Subtle shades and hopeful tones coverage as the narrative evolves, before rising atmospheres and radiant chord stabs unite during a grandiose break. Tense yet exhilarating, a drummy build marries waves of white noise during a colossal crescendo, as the groove drops for an emotive, arp driven finale.

Rounding out the release and providing the lone interpretation of ‘Octopus' is Cid Inc & Orsen. Based in Finland and Austria respectively, 2019 proved to be a fruitful year for both artists. Henri Hurtig aka Cid Inc. once again delivered one of progressive music's finest moments with the March release of ‘Via Karelia'. Similarly, Dan Baseley aka Orsen won the hearts of the genre's tastemakers with the November offering ‘Falling In'. Having commemorated the label's ten-year anniversary with their first ever joint production in October, Cid Inc and Orsen now build on that creative synergy with an inspired take on ‘Octopus'. The duo expands on the smooth, emotive qualities of the original with a tougher more peak time approach. Possessing a dramatic undercurrent, it's punchy kicks and fiery percussion create waves of energy as the first act evolves. The main arp adds nicely to it's hypnotic drive, gradually opening up against a backdrop of hopeful pads, as the breakdown reaches a euphoric peak, before shifting energy into a smooth yet exhilarating conclusion. A gorgeous rendition from the Replug bosses which caps off a hugely successful label debut from DJ Zombi.

Deersky’s Soundteller Records adds another impressive newcomer to their roster with Ric Niels making his label debut. The Argentinean artist first appeared on the progressive music scene just a month ago with an EP for Clinique Recordings. A contribution to 3rd Avenue’s ‘We Are The Future’ collection followed shortly thereafter, nicely setting the stage for his Soundteller debut entitled ‘California’.

Spread across two tracks it’s the deep, driving vibes of ‘Cove’ which get the the EP underway. It’s tough foundation is made up of meaty kicks and a mountainous groove, while airy atmospherics, tranquil arps and effervescent percussion heighten the senses above. Haunting sweeps and ghostly wails segue nicely into a short break, where the arp intensifies before trailing off into a glowing finale.

The release concludes with ‘Cliffs’ which furthers the driving, hypnotic mood of the EP. Anchored by a warm and sightly fuller groove, it’s lively arps and buzzing effects resonate beautifully against a backdrop of emotive chord changes and radiant pads. A well constructed bed of percussion adds drive as the narrative shifts further into emotive territory across the break, building nicely to a tasteful crescendo, perfectly setting up a stripped back drop and pulsating finale. It rounds out a fresh EP from Ric Niels, who makes a solid Soundteller debut, while continuing to stake his claim as a rising talent in the progressive underground. Highly recommended.
