An artist with a rich and varied release history, Hot TuneiK has created a powerful narrative through his "Heightened Senses" series. Through seven original tracks and remixes from Stas Drive and Orsen, a third volume now sees a striking new original track and a pair of remixes from Brazilian and Russian stars. "A Song for Camila" sparkles with percussive intensity and deep, resonant kick. Smoothly evolving over its 10-minute duration, rich melodies coruscate above a deep bassline growl and metallic synth. A stripped back breakdown brings together a swathe of melodic layers, glistening reverse-reverb and counterpoint emotion. Hitting its stride again in the third movement, rhythmic dynamism once more propels the heartfelt track through its latter stages.

Danny Oliveira has carved out an impressive name for himself over two decades involved in the electronic music, not least through his DNYO production moniker. Responsible for music featuring on Adidas TV during the 2006 World Cup and finalist for a Sasha remix competition, the Brazilian has been a leading light in underground dance. His production work for the likes of microCastle, Flow Vinyl and his own Konstrukt imprint has only served to enhance that reputation. His 2012 "Echo" EP and 2013's "Future Blending" for Proton were key releases in showcasing a stellar production talent as were remixes for Exoplanet, Lank and Andre Sobota. Now returning to the label for the first time in 7 years, the DNYO's remix of "Healing" makes stunning use of the Amega's original vocals as they drift through the 9-minute piece, coming to the fore in a powerful reworking that makes innovative use of Hot TuneiK's components. Using a dynamic rhythmic foundation to contrast the ethereal vocal and melodic phrasing, the driving techno beat and offbeat hats offer a stellar interpretation that reaches a rousing crescendo in the second half as all elements converge in a club-friendly collage of sonic force.

Operating out of his studio on the banks of the Volga and lauded by Mixmag Russia, Anton MAKe can boast almost a triple century of production credits to some of the finest modern imprints. A regular on Mango Alley, Replug and Balkan Connection, contributions to Proton Music have centred around the "Bulletproof" series which saw a five-track original offering in July 2020 followed by April 2021's "Vol. 2", including a further pair of original tracks plus standout remixes from D-Nox and Sebastian Sellares. A single remix of Huminal's "Life Lantern" in 2020 is now followed by a superb reworking of "Consciousness" which opens with familiar rhythmic underpinnings while whip-cracking kick takes things in a club-friendly direction. Carefully using elements from the original blended with an array of new melodic sequences, sees a new vocal treatment drawing parallels with Henry Saiz as the track reaches a rousing crescendo. Dropping back into the powerful beat and lilting percussive groove in the second half, the instrumental work from Osiris Heyerdahl comes to the fore in a striking interpretation that showcases Anton MAKe's sensitivity, skill and technique.

A third outing finds Hot TuneiK reaching a new state of arousal through his "Heightened Senses, Vol. 3".

BIO:

Martin surely can be described as legend of Nuremberg‘s electronic music scene. In 1992, at the age of 16, he discovered his passion for electronic music and began playing vinyl on two borrowed Technics turntables. During that time he completed an internship at a local radio station (Radio N1), where he soon was recognized for his Djing. 

First bookings as „Martin Martinez“, his former Dj name, at various events of the radio station like „N1 Sunday Dancehall“ and the weekly radio show „N1 Club Night“ followed, where he not only played vinyl with lots of heart, but also took over the moderation of the radio show.

Especially as a resident of the „N1 Rave Signal“ events, which took place at Volksbad, an abandoned Art Nouveau-Style bath, he soon gained a large fan base with his captivating techno and breakbeat sets and weekly played on stage with famous musicians like Sven Väth, Westbam, Carl Cox, Earth Nation, Tanith, Resistance D, Jens Lissat, Oliver Lieb and many more.

To spred his wings wider and take his immense passion for Djing to the next level, he changed his name to Martin Groovic in 1995 and soon played gigs in all major techno clubs in Franconia such as Boot, Dolphin Club, Paisley Park, Forum, Lancia Odeon, DUB Club and the Octagon in Eltmann and invitations to clubs in Munich and festivals in Italy followed.

In 1996 he and two partners founded the legendary TOS Club, where he organized weekly club nights and after hours and quickly became a well known musician in the Nuremberg techno scene for blowing up the dancefloors with his unique music style. 

His characteristics as a deliverer of music are within the inexhaustible dimensions of sound, creating imaginary dream worlds within his listeners and taking them on a journey full of depth, magic and desires – always with an unconditional love to music. His repertoire ranges from rhythmic, spherical house and techno sounds filled with lots of emotion to downtempo and acid sounds with the right drive to dance the nights away.

In 1998, after two successful years of TOS, the club mysteriously burned down and Martin moved to Munich. In 2000 he founded his family and took a time out for several years. During his break the love to music still accompanied him in private, but now the passion for Djing and the wish to create musical suspense grew strong again. And so he‘s back, more motivated than ever, presenting new monthly mixes on his Soundcloud. In the near future Martin Groovic will surely be seen and heard again in the clubs.
