Stan Kolev - Some Kind Of Daydream [UV]

The twelfth batch of fruits from our fruit orchard have been picked, and are ready to taste.

The deep melodic sounds of French producer Quatri have a depth and uniqueness that is hard to quantify or draw comparisons against. His detailed and emotive production style, which made its foundations at imprints like Oleeva Records and Nie Wieder Schlafen, is quickly turning underground heads.

The title track "Vendet" sits firmly in Quatri's signature style. Surrounded by a crisp drum rack, atmospheres weave in and out, through flutes and influences from the World. "Who Are You" is a lot more clubbier of the two. With brass Parisian elements and a hefty kick, the track will pick up the flow in a set in no time.

The EP is closed off by two remixes from two exciting producers in the scene; Joe Miller and Padre.

Padre's Ceremonial Mix strips everything back, and lets the track breathe. Created in mind for DJs who want to add their own drum beat, the harnessed darkness of Padre's Ceremonial Mix is a testament to his carefully selected taste and producing style.

From the kindest Australian on the planet, Joe Miller's remix carefully respects the original, while refocusing & stripping down elements to take you into a calmer state. Signed to labels like All Day I Dream, Traum + more, and support from Lane 8 and Robert Babicz, Joe Miller is one to look out for.

Hope you enjoy our fruits as much as we do!

[Preview] Quatri - Who Are You [Sag & Tre]

Lights Out Records comes back with one more release from Lithuanian duo Kastis Torrau and Donatello with their original melodic stuff called “Balmora”. This releases follows with strong supporting interpretations from Stelios Vassiloudis with his tech touch. Australians Out Of Sorts in collaboration with Uone delivers deeper melodic touch with their remix and the third remix is well put in progressive lines from Russian producer Samir Kuliev. The whole release sounds super solid and definitely worth to listen.

Gavin Griffin is an artist with a strong association to the Proton Music label. With his GMJ soubriquet, the Australian artist now returns with the twin-track "Catharsis".

Hailing from the sun-kissed city of Melbourne on the south-eastern coast, Griffin has carved out a sizeable niche with his unique brand of progressive house. Built upon an "innate passion for deep, emotive electronic music", GMJ has grown rapidly in prominence after DJ performances in his home city and beyond has enraptured audiences at the likes of "Rainbow Serpent Festival". Furthermore, studio mixes for the renowned "Balance Music" series and "Future Memory" show on Proton Radio, sees GMJ continue to break down international barriers.

In tandem, a successful production career has shone another spotlight on the Australian's career. Some 300 production credits for a plethora of the finest underground imprints are testament to an unrivalled position at the underground dance fraternity's top table, with work for Vapour Recordings, Balkan Connection and Sudbeat telling their own story of GMJ's continued success. Over 50 of those production credits come courtesy of work for Particles and Proton Music. 2014's debut for the former saw a clutch of original tracks on the "Edge of Remembrance" and "Forgotten Wisdom" EPs, while remixes for Oliver Lieb, Kastis Torrau and Rick Pier O'Neil also hit the Particles headlines. Collaborative work with fellow Melbourne resident, Matter, saw the duo make huge strides together on Proton Music. A 2016 debut saw the "Superposition" EP quickly cement reputations with rich and textured soundscapes, before 2017's "Osmosis" and 2018's "Interscope" EPs continued showcasing the duo's extraordinary talents. Moreover, October 2017 saw GMJ make his solo EP debut with the twin-track "Push Through" which went on to see remixes from heavyweights Juan Deminicis and Andrea Cassino. It is therefore with immense pleasure that we welcome GMJ back to the label with "Catharsis".

Opening with a trademark rolling groove, the title track is a wonderfully ethereal affair that lilts effortlessly across its eight-minute journey. A hypnotic motif paves the way for side-chained white-noise effects to fill the sonic space before a sublime, glassy motif makes its play in the main body of the track. Reminiscent of Isao Tomita, the harmonically rich phrasing shimmers gently as counterpoint motifs and textured pads create a rare aural experience. 

Partner track, "Oranai", opens with a reverb-drenched and delay-laden percussive groove as a mesmerising bassline and synchronous mid-range motif create a strong framework. Evolving delicately, pulsating pads, soaring chord progressions and flowing free-form melody, illuminate throughout. Making its mark in the third movement, an additional sustained bassline adds emotion as rhythm and melody combine once more to devastating effect.

Providing a healing touch with his unique and effortless sound, GMJ presents a new musical "Catharsis".

The latest release on Clubsonica Records finds Golan Zocher returning to the label for his debut single 'Shush'. The Colombian born, Israel based artist made his debut on the Colombian imprint in June of 2017 with a remix (in collaboration with Kamilo Sanclemente) of 'Expression' by Dmitry Molosh. 2018 then saw Golan return for his second remix, a stunning take on Andre Sobota's 'Missing Line'. Also laying claim to releases on Lonya's Asymmetric Recordings and Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank Records, Golan now returns to Clubsonica for his first single alongside remixes from Alex O'Rion and Supacooks. 

Sitting comfortably in deeper territory Golan crafts a redolent framework complete with harmonious grooves, sultry hooks and spirited electronics. Diversifying his portfolio further Golan's masterstroke is to collaborate and introduce the gorgeous vocals of MILA. Hailing from Colombia and an artist of profound talent, she infuses the piece with authentic soul and genuine emotion. Breathy wails and romantic storyboards come in waves, effortlessly drifting through a maze of organic drums and melodic clusters, before reaching a serene and spiritually uplifting finale. 

The first interpretation of 'Shush' is provided by Alex O'Rion who makes his label debut. In addition to appearances on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, the Dutch artist has also found a home on Nick Warren's Hope Recordings and ICONYC. Always a regular in Beatport's Progressive House charts, Alex now debuts on Clubsonica with a superb remix of 'Shush'. Aptly coined 'Deep Dub', the Dutch artist strips the groove down, putting a focus on harmonious bass and ghostly vocal fragments. Dreamy yet powerful, it's free flowing narrative quickly draws you in to a storyboard of luminous tones and dusty sweeps, while a carefully crafted break sits at the core, before effortlessly shifting energy into a glowing finale.

The release concludes with Supacooks providing the second and final interpretation of 'Shush'. The Armenian duo have also been a staple in Beatport's Progressive House charts for some time. A string of well received releases for Beatfreak Recordings, Dear Deer and Parquet Recordings have made them one of hottest production duos of the moment. Now making a welcome debut on Clubsonica, Supacooks deliver a superb rendition of 'Shush' to cap the release off in style. Otherworldly in nature, tough beats and crisp percussion anchor the journey as the piece flows through a series of vocal edits and pulsating rhythms. Continuing on an unpredictable storyboard, luminous tonal themes and devilish stabs highlight the first act, perfectly setting up an ethereal break. Adding further intrigue, indistinct vocal fragments and buzzing stabs sit in stark contrast, before a powerful build and spacey drop seals it's dance floor appeal. A stunning remix from Supacooks which caps off another inspired offering from Clubsonica Records, who continue a strong start to 2019.
