The latest offering from Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint finds the label presenting new interpretations of Nopi's ‘Hookan Idyll'. Originally released in October of 2020 as part of the Ukrainian's well-received ‘Where to Go' EP, it's deeper design and hopeful atmospheres charmed DJs and fans alike, proving once again what an exceptional talent Nopi has become. Now bringing new life to the much-loved track, Sound Avenue invites Forty Cats, Meeting Molly and Pedro Capelossi to re-imagine the production for 2022.

Returning to the label and providing the first interpretation of ‘Hookan Idyll' is Forty Cats. With well over a decade's worth of DJ experience, Russian artist Christina Gavrilova aka Forty Cats has been a fixture of her country's nightlife, sharing the stage with Jody Wisternoff, Nick Warren, Yotto, Dave Seaman and more. Christina's production debut landed three years ago via 8bit Music, and in relatively short order the Russian artist has gone on to release projects via Lane 8's This Never Happened, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Juicebox Music and Mango Alley. Having made her Sound Avenue debut in January with a well-received remix of Eric Lune's ‘Dreaming Home', Forty Cats now makes a welcome return with an equally stunning take on ‘Hookan Idyll'. Smooth and rhythmic throughout, the Russian artist goes deep and driving for what results in a hypnotic eight-minute journey. Meditative lines, gentle tonal themes and intoxicating atmospheres unite across the first act, perfectly setting up an effects-laden break. Acid-like lines and ghostly vocal fragments emerge as the centrepiece evolves, adding a trippy flair as the narrative builds onwards to a thumping drop and colourful finale.

Making his label debut and providing the second interpretation of ‘Hookan Idyll' is Meeting Molly. Following initial outings on Amsterdam based powerhouse Songspire in 2019, Meeting Molly went on to compile a meticulous resume, with notable projects coming courtesy of Juicebox Music, Kiksuya Records, Mango Alley and Monstercat. Now presenting his first remix production of 2022, the Russian artist debuts on Sound Avenue with a gorgeous take on ‘Hookan Idyll'. Engaging from the outset, momentous kicks and rhythmic pulses converge for a fluid foundation, while swirling sonics bring texture and drive to the groove. Building an otherworldly narrative across the first act, hazy synth phrasing and neatly manicured percussion add emotion and drive leading into the break. The centrepiece delights with its timeless appeal, as misty pads add a hopeful charm before transitioning into a key changing drop and haunting finale. Also included is Meeting Molly's ‘Vocal Mix' which carries the same structure and arrangement of the main mix while adding impassioned phrasing for an entirely new dimension.

The release concludes with Pedro Capelossi returning to the label for two spirited renditions of ‘Hookan Idyll'. Born in Brazil but now based in Spain, Pedro Capelossi made his Sound Avenue debut in 2020, with the Madloch and Subnode collaborations ‘Turmeric Latte' and ‘Vanilla Noise'. Forging a strong bond with the label going forward, the Barcelona resident then went on to deliver his first EP for the Belgian imprint in 2021. Also finding a home on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas, Pedro now returns to Sound Avenue for his first remix project.

'Back in May 2019, GMJ launched another twin-track masterpiece in "Catharsis". Now returning to the title track, a pair of remixes comes from a Colombian pairing and German talent.

Hailing from Kiel, outside Hamburg, Moritz Rausch has become a renowned figure in the world of underground dance music through his Rauschhaus alter-ego. A gifted pianist from a musical family, the Rauschhaus foray into production that began in 2009, quickly bore fruit with releases on Slaap Records, Zaubermilch Records and Budenzauber. However, it was not until late 2015 that the German broke through to the upper echelons with remixes on Einmusika. Further releases for the likes of Parquet, Steyoyoke and Traum followed in a career that has amassed over 400 production credits. September 2018 saw a debut remix of Michael A's "Ciklus One" hit the Proton Music catalogues while "Opal" a month later, saw Rauschhaus sparkle with a stunning original track plus remixes from Heerhorst and Michael A himself.

Now returning to the label, Rauschhaus takes "Catharsis" on a memorable voyage of silky-smooth melodies that echo the themes resonant in GMJ's original as a swathe of new arpeggio sequences bring a playful character to proceedings. Undulating with ease alongside skipping percussive hats, rich bassline and deep kick, the second half erupts in joyous fashion full of counterpoint skill and sublime production mastery. The result is a glorious new interpretation.

A collaborative artistic pairing that began in late 2016 with an outing on Majestic Family Records, Kamilo Sanclemente and Mauro Aguirre have both established reputations that extend far beyond their Colombian homeland. Sanclemente's near 400 production credits have seen the Cali resident feature on some of the finest modern imprints that include the likes of Paul Thomas' UV, Paul Hazendonk's Manual Music and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital. Furthermore, January 2019's "Spiral Patterns" alongside fellow countryman, Dabeat, saw a wonderful Proton Music debut for Kamilo. Similarly, Mauro Aguirre has been involved in Colombian dance music for over 25 years with DJ appearances at countless bars, clubs and parties and performances on La Super Estacion 100.5 and La X 96.5 FM. Joining forces on Clubsonica Records with "Hera" in March 2018, Kamilo Sanclemente and Mauro Aguirre make their combined Proton Music debut with a richly stratified interpretation of "Catharsis". 

A driving beat and intricately programmed percussive top-line form a foundation for a series of haunting chord progressions to remind the listener of GMJ's central motif. Simultaneously, a rich arpeggio shimmers across the remix connecting with the original's melodic themes before breaking free at the mid-point breakdown and blending effortlessly with Sanclemente and Aguirre's intelligent production work. The result is a classy interpretation full of flair and poise.'

Striking out with his own EP series, Hot TuneiK joins illustrious company. Using his "Heightened Senses" as a vehicle for a raft of brand-new original material, plus high-calibre remixes as the series progresses, Vol. 1 presents a quintet of sparkling new tracks.

An artist of innumerable talents, Diego Carreón has found himself at the centre of Mexico's underground dance scene for a number of years. A regular across the clubs of his homeland playing alongside the likes of Guy J, Nick Warren and Henry Saiz, his legendary HOOKAH events have brought the best international DJ talent to central American shores, whilst his record label of the same name has continued to represent renowned producers and nubreed talent in equal measures. A successful production career has run in tandem with well over 300 production credits sitting proudly next to the Hot TuneiK name for a host of high-profile imprints including Balkan Connection, 3rd Avenue and Soundteller Records.

A regular on Particles with his "Erase & Rewind" and "Tulum" EPs, the "Revival" and "Circles of You" EPs for Proton Music in 2018 and 2019, saw Hot TuneiK make an instant impact on the flagship imprint. Now returning to the label after a September 2019 remix of Rudy's "Real You", Hot TuneiK follows in the footsteps of Erdi Irmak and Rick Pier O'Neil by
revealing his "Heightened Senses, Vol. 1"

Opener, "Equilibrium" is chock full of complex and intricately programmed percussive elements that ripple across proceedings alongside hypnotically repeated motifs shimmering in delay treated effects. Simultaneously, a meandering pad with subtle vocal character adds texture and depth to a track soaked in middle eastern flavour. Featuring the vocal talents of Amega, "Awake" is a dark progressive gem that revels in rolling grooved bassline and laidback percussive groove. Sung with coruscating beauty the track's title filters into listener consciousness with languid ease as layered vocal lines add depth and intrigue. "Healing" has a more ethnic oriented flavour with its complex top line and ethereal vocal phrases that reveal themselves in repeated phrases and gated patterns. Subtle melodic variations make their presence felt throughout in a track that demonstrates the range of Hot Tuneik's considerable talent.

"Consciousness" continues with a rich bassline groove and shaker-fuelled percussion that provides the perfect bed for strong organic instrumentation from the multi-talented, Osiris Heyerdahl. Thus, a meandering flute line brings elegance and intrigue across a ten-minute track that delights with its innovation and whispered vocal phrases. Final track, "Life" completes the EP with stratified layers of vocal elegance and poise from Sarah Chilanti alongside a raft of motifs and syncopated melodic elements. A hypnotic groove and heavy beat hold the track together with locked tight sonic glue hitting the post-breakdown third movement with depth and purpose as effected vocal phrases continue to drive things forward.

Five new tracks find Hot TuneiK developing a masterful set of "Heightened Senses".

Out of golden summer tones and autumnal harvest, Dmitry Molosh emerges through the "Orchard". From the broad banks of the Mukhavets River, beautiful sonic timbres create a rich sonic hue that glitters in sparkling sunlit patterns. A smooth bassline cadence fills the musical canvas as wonderful shards reveal themselves in sultry percussive rhythms and an exalted air of triumph oozes from every bar.

Dutch mastery from Kasper Koman reveals a new path within the familiar patterns of the "Orchard". A perfectly weighted backdrop provides the foundation for new melodies to emerge from the rhythmic bed. A spine-tingling bass progression reveals a crisp and crunchy new flavour. The golden age of the underground lost and found within an industry icon. Kharkhiv and Karlsruhe joined together by a single thread finds musical cross-pollination via Tantum and Arude. Grown out of storming bassline groove, smooth melodies blossom as delayed arpeggios echo through the trees.

A returning legend, Rauschhaus once again showcases a powerful performance with gentle touch and skill. Fresh melodies emerge from the branches of the "Orchard" to create a delicious aural flavour that shimmers with glissando freedom, while detailed layers expose perfectly formed harmonic phrases that create a sumptuous dancefloor accent.
