Returning to Proton Music after a successful 2019, Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat present a bright new vision with "Beyond the Future, Vol. 1".

From Cali, south-west of the Bogota capital, Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat have been pivotal in advancing their country's underground dance movement. Rising out of the Cauca Valley, the duo has been responsible for a swathe of high-profile music. Both successful artists in the own rights, Sanclemente has amassed over 450 production credits since a debut for Suite 7 Records in 2013, going on to feature on some of the most prestigious independent imprints including Massive Harmony Records, Univack and Nick Warren's "Balance Presents the Soundgarden" in late 2018. A relative newcomer to the underground scene, Dabeat's solo work has seen him feature for BeatFreak Recordings, Pollen Flug Records and Freegrant Music.

Joining forces, the collaborative pairing has consistently hit the headlines with their distinctive brand of progressive house, lighting up the likes of Mango Alley, Hope and UV. January 2019 saw a Proton Music debut in the shape of the outstanding "Spiral Patterns", further enhanced by a remix from Brazilian maestro, Andre Sobota. A remix for Peter Makto & Gregory S's "Purple Rain" was another notable highlight in May as Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat return with the first in a series of EPs that follow in the footsteps laid by Erdi Irmak and Rick Pier O'Neil, as they start out "Beyond the Future".

Opener, "Zemula", is full of rhythmic prowess as a strong percussive groove lays the perfect foundation for rippling arpeggios and siren synth lead to course through the 8-min offering. Ambient effects and sweeping risers add additional texture to a wonderful club floor-filler. The complementary tracks of "Feline" and "Ausar" delight with their languorous rhythmic patterns as grooved plucks and clever bassline sequences add rich syncopation. Unhurried lead lines ripple across proceedings to create flowing melodic patterns while atmospheric vocal phrases add depth. The driving kick and off-beat percussion of "Asgard" provides immediate dancefloor character, tempered by stratified layers of arpeggiated sequences and rising pad progressions that reach a crescendo in a tension-fuelled breakdown. Rhythm and melody then combine once more in the third movement to maximum effect.

With its seething atmosphere, "Aerology", is a mesmerising collage of grooved bassline and melodic motif that provide a superb counterweight to intelligently programmed percussion. Adding to the aural melange a relentless sequence builds post-breakdown to strong effect before "Magma" spews forth with bristling power and dancefloor heat. Flowing hypnotically through arpeggiated phrase, a counterpoint chord progression provides weight before a grooved melodic line opens up in the second half, creating a dynamic and powerful climax.

Six tracks of the highest order see Kamilo Sanclemente securing the present while looking firmly "Beyond the Future".

The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes Da Luka to the label for his debut single. The Albanian artist has grown into his country's premiere progressive house talent, backed by the support of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and Cid Inc, while releases on Balkan Connection, Dopamine Music and Soundteller Records highlight his discography. Now making his much anticipated Dopamine White debut Da Luka presents his new single 'Into The Stars' alongside remixes from Eric Lune and Kenan Savrun.

Beginning with the Original Mix, Da Luka moves into deep, progressive territory with a warm spacious groove, smooth rhythms and clusters of tantalizing effects. Alluring and mysterious, it's dramatic flair rises with layers of percussion and spacey sweeps leading to a section of emotive chord changes. Cosmic motifs continue to saturate your senses, perfectly setting up an interlude of astral meadorings before smoothly segueing into a groovy finale.

The first interpretation of 'Into The Stars' is provided by Eric Lune who makes his label debut. Having appeared on parent label Dopamine Music in January of last year the Aussie artist also calls Juicebox Music, Plattenbank, Sound Avenue and Timeless Moment home. Now following two well received collaborations with Juan Sapia, Eric makes his Dopamine White debut with a gorgeous rendition of 'Into The Stars'. Setting the piece in motion is a bed of tough beats and mountainous bass tones. Airy vocal fragments and smooth chord changes elevate mood as layers of percussion and colourful melodies flow through the framework. Poignant tones continue to bend the narrative across the main break, adding waves of emotion, before a tasteful crescendo cues a euphoric conclusion.

The release concludes with Kenan Savrun providing the second and final interpretation of 'Into The Stars'. Hailing from Ankara, the Turkish artist has a long history as a DJ dating back to 2003, having shared the booth with Alex Niggemann, Eli and Fur, Andy Bros, Victor Ruiz and Oliver Huntemann. Upon releasing his first productions in September of 2018, Kenan has since gone on to showcase his music on 3rd Avenue, Droid9, Eat My Hat and Movement Recordings. Now making his much-anticipated Dopamine White debut, Kenan provides a powerful rendition of 'Into The Stars'' to round the release out on a strong note. Anchored by a driving groove, the Turkish artist's rhythmic drum work and fluid electronics build a strong cadence. Shimmering arps add nicely to it's hypnotic storyboard, while swirling effects and luminous tones perfectly segue into the main break. Spanning over a minute in length, the interlude is tastefully tense, backed by a solemn air and laced with crisp designs and powerful bass swells, before effortlessly shifting energy into a pulsating finale. Another inspired remix from Kenan Savrun, which caps off an excellent offering from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White. Don't miss it.

Da Luka - Into the Stars (Kenan Savrun Remix) [Dopamine White]

Available 14, August on https://soundcloud.com/perspectivesdigital featuring https://soundcloud.com/modeapart

Amsterdam Dance Event goes online for the first time in mid-October. With dance floors noticeably vacant, digital music becomes more vital than ever. Perspectives Digital thus welcomes back the best-selling artist on last year’s sampler! Relatively new to the scene, Mode Apart describes his music as "a unique fusion of electronic genres.” This became very apparent when Armin van Buuren played the title track, “Voyage," on A State Of Trance 974. Bearing the same energy, it features anthemic leads, ticking percussion and angelic sighs.

Nicolas Benedetti - Bounded (Original Mix)

The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes Dany Dz to the label for his debut EP. Since first appearing on the progressive music scene just over a year ago, the Argentinean artist has notched standout releases via 3rd Avenue, Droid9 and Strangers Beats. Now following a well received remix for Future Avenue, Dany debuts on Dopamine White with ‘Stolen Dreams'.

Beginning with the title cut Dany crafts a groovy, atmospheric slice of progressive house . Free and flowing from the outset, its rolling low end is perfectly contoured, providing momentous swing while clattering drums and wispy effects fill in the framework. Atmospheres continue to rise across the first act, perfectly shifting energy into the main break, where a quirky arp and phasing noise unite for a powerful crescendo and driving drop.

The companion piece ‘A New Dawn' caps off the EP with a similarly groovy ethos. Once again backed by a well carved foundation, it's a wave of driving percussion and intricate effects which push momentum forward. Hazy overlays rise, adding a unique musicality, while distant sweeps and atmospheric swells segue into the break. As the centrepiece evolves so to does it's emotional appeal, eventually melting down to a warm glow as a rush of noise sparks a purring final act. It rounds out a stunning two track offering from Dany Dz, who makes an excellent Dopamine White debut here.
