Australian progressive house icon Matt Rowan last appeared on Particles in early 2015. Around the same time, East Cafe released his first remix for the Proton flagship label. Over four years later, the two label stalwarts come full circle with “Heads Down.” Throughout its impressive ten-minute framework, the East Cafe remix synthesizes nostalgic and contemporary tones alike. The Hungarian certainly displays "a level of refinement, detail and depth” by drawing inspiration from the original’s timeless melodic lines.

Rising out of Argentina's progressive house underground is Guille Cornejo aka Antrim. Long a favourite of the genre's premiere tastemakers in Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Cordoba resident also lays claim to releases on Sudbeat Music, Hope Recordings and his own Or Two Strangers imprint. With a sound that stretches from the deeper, dreamy spectrums of house, to the tastefully melodic confines of contemporary progressive, Antrim now makes his Replug Records debut with 'Trip To Red' alongside a remix from Orsen. 

In an odyssey that spans ten plus minutes, Antrim commences the journey with warm, punchy beats, electric rhythms and metallic hits. The introduction of a pulsating groove heightens the senses as fuzzy designs and elegant harmonies descend over the framework. Emotive chord changes further the narrative, building anticipation with each successive loop and perfectly setting the stage for a memorable lead. Euphoric yet charming, it's a cascading theme for the ages, almost surreal in nature it's youthful energy gets lost in a wash of colourful harmonics, before one final break resets the groove for a percussive finale.
 
Amidst progressive music's elite guard lies Replug's Orsen. Alongside Cid Inc, the UK born, Austria based producer not only owns and manages the label but is an artist of substantial merit. Regarded as one of the genre's choosiest producer's, Orsen's discography is both astute and enduring, showcasing releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and US conglomerate Proton Music. Ending 2018 with a stunning rendition of Dmitry Molosh's 'Sacra', Orsen now presents his first production of the year with an inspired take on 'Trip To Red'. Always a creative remixer, Orsen deconstructs the main elements into newfound themes for what sits as an ideal complement to the original. Atop a warm, full bodied groove comes effervescent phrasing and buoyant arpeggios. It's a remarkable sonic marriage and one which makes for an energetic yet meditative journey, elegantly peaking through sizzling modulation across two breaks, before an exhilarating final act puts a cap on this creative gem. 
 
With 'Trip To Red' Antrim continues to build on what has been a breakout year for the Argentine, one which continues a course of artistic growth while adding nicely to an already impressive body of work.

KAMADEV entered the Manual Music family with a blast last year with the release of his well received 'Break Through' track on the 'Explorations' album, swiftly followed by his 'Allegory' single. Now the Miami based rising star is back with an EP packed with more melodic, emotive delight. 'Beloved EP' contains two delicate vocal cuts; the title track and 'Falling Faster', and a more straight forward peak time melodic dance floor pleaser, 'Khada'. All in all another testament of KAMADEV's sheer talent and needless to say we're utterly delighted to have him back on Manual Music once again!

KAMADEV - Beloved

‘Uhuru was a satellite launched by NASA in Kenyan lands. It means "freedom" in the Swahili language. It was named this way in commemoration of the anniversary of the declaration of independence of that country. 

Uhuru symbolizes the hope for a better world. This is an interpretation of the artists about the fusion between space and the roots of mother earth. Uhuru is a sample of two different worlds coexisting in harmony. The sounds of Uhuru invite you to travel through space and at the same time delve into the depths of the Maasai culture, a Kenyan tribe where recordings have been captured that can be heard throughout this piece.’

PREMIERE: Tantum - Follow Me [Mango Alley Records]

Release Date 20 of April 2020

A fizzing, crackling backdrop powers a new sonic arsenal from southwestern Germany, Tantum explodes out of Karlsruhe in brilliant “Photism”. Aural shards pierce the frequency spectrum with pinpoint precision as heavy beat anchors. “Follow Me” with continued narrative and sonic synchronicity. Bassline cadence and hi-hat groove are wrapped in warm rhythmic blanket while analogue motif creates a new melodic mosaic. Patterns swirl enriching the auditory senses – buzzing and swirling they saturate the mind in iridescent colours.

A Luxembourg star, once again in ascendance sparkles with a new “Photism”. Synaesthetic colours emerge from Chook’s mind, brilliantly conceived they converge in sonic patterns that spin and eddy across the mind’s eye. Echoes of Tantum rip through bassline power and saturated brilliance. A Mango Alley debutant finds Arude forging his own path. “Follow Me” creates a new vision, unencumbered by convention as a legato lead slides in mesmeric fashion and familiar fragments permeate the sonic consciousness. Rising and falling with consummate ease, snare fills and rolling groove showcase talent in abundance.
