Antrim's Or Two Strangers imprint returns welcoming Luciano Scheffer to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Ribeirao Pires, the Brazilian artist has been a long time favourite of Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. His stunning creations have etched out a meticulous discography, highlighted by releases on Balkan Connection, Clubsonica Records and Just Movement. Now landing on Or Two Strangers, Luciano presents his much anticipated 'Mar' EP. 
Beginning with the title cut Luciano explores a deeper side of his studio repertoire. Free and flowing from the outset it’s spacious low end is perfectly contoured, providing momentous swing while exotic drums and airy atmospheres fill in the framework. Stripping down into the main break the narrative expands through iridescent effects and mallet-like clusters. Emotive and thought provoking, it’s a spirited interlude, one of hope and reflection, ultimately leading to a tasteful apex and gorgeous final act. Also included on the release is an Ambient version which embodies the heart and soul of the original, making it a great tool for the more adventurous DJ or simply an elegant piece of music to enjoy.

The release concludes with ‘Brisa’ which follows a similar sonic ethos to its predecessor but with more of a pure progressive sensibility. A warm, redolent groove sits at the foundation, moving with discernible momentum as layers of drums and rolling rhythms converge for a fluid cadence. Heartfelt harmonics and elegant atmospheres flow beautifully into an emotive centrepiece, as organic drums build a subtle tension, while poignant tones and hopeful overlays fully saturate your pleasure centres. An impassioned creation from Luciano Scheffer, rounding out what would have to be the most inspired release of his career.

The latest release on Clubsonica Records welcomes Julian Nates to the label for his debut EP. As one of Argentina's most promising talents, the Cordoba resident lays claim to releases on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Antrim's Or Two Strangers and Soundteller Records, while also earning the praise from progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Guy J. Now embarking on the biggest release of his career, Julian lands on Clubsonica with 'Wild Side' alongside remixes from Analog Jungs and Fabri Lopez.

Emotion and groove have always been at a premium in Julian's productions, and the title selection 'Wild Side' exemplifies that perfectly. On a bed of rippling bass tones comes buzzing electronics, growling stabs and perfectly manicured shakers. As momentum builds a tranquil arp advances the narrative into hypnotic territory, before effortlessly segueing into a musical interlude which seals its dance floor appeal. The companion piece 'Exchanging Souls' continues the smooth and seductive ethos of the EP with rolling grooves, lively rhythms and glowing atmospheres. Mysterious and mystical from the outset, the piece flows through bouncy arps and buoyant tones, before haunting overlays and wispy effects entice the final act with emotive moments.

The first interpretation of 'Wild Side' is provided by Analog Jungs who make their label debut. 2019 proved to be a breakout year for the Cordoba duo, landing releases on Nick Warren's two prestigious imprints The Soundgarden and Hope Recordings. Also, a favourite of world class DJs John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo, Analog Jungs now follow their well received 'Liria' EP with a stunning interpretation of 'Wild Side'. Full and driving, the groove commands a large presence as percussive flurries and arpeggiated fragments adorn the framework. Evolving with a veteran's savvy, timely modulation provides waves of euphoric tension while bulbous tones and lively percussion add momentum. Haunting harmonics highlight the main break, delivering impassioned moments, before a rush of beats and drums unite for a powerful drop.

The second and final interpretation of 'Wild Side' is provided by Fabri Lopez who returns to the label for his second appearance. The Argentinean artist first appeared on the Colombian imprint in June of 2019 with a remix of Russlan Jaafreh's 'Hanguk'. In a year that saw play and support from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Villa Mercedes resident now gets 2020 underway with a superb take on 'Wild Side'. Taking a cue from the original Fabri crafts a full groove and smooth rhythmic core. Nostalgic in nature, the piece flows through emotive chord changes and sparkling electronics, before shifting energy into a transcendent break. Delicate yet buzzing, the centrepiece expertly melts down into a dramatic build as rugged synths and a wave of noise spark a character filled finale. An inspired remix from Fabri which rounds out a stunning Clubsonica debut for Julian Nates, an artist who continues to operate at a creative peak.

Hitting another high point on his Proton Music journey, Soulwerk's "Unknown Dimension" saw a wonderful two-track EP hit the charts in December 2019. Now a pair of remixes come from Latvian and Indian stars.

An artist with a rich musical heritage, Ivars Tiliks has created an impressive set of credentials through his Subconscious Tales pseudonym. From his Latvian home in Valmeira, to the north-east of the Riga capital, immaculate production techniques with "carefully tuned and visualised sounds" have become a pathway "into an unlimited world of musical fantasy". Almost 200 production credits thus tell their own story of Subconscious Tales' success with a collection of original and remix production material finding itself onto such esteemed imprints as Suffused Music, Balkan Connection and JOOF.

The "Twisted" EP for Particles in June 2017 was an impressive offering, while "July 2019's twin-track "Magnectares" saw a super Proton Music debut. Subsequent remixes from James Monro and Kasper Koman added a further touch of class to an already notable debut. Returning to remix Soulwerk, the Subconscious Tales interpretation of "Funchal" is full of the rhythmic dynamism that has become a trademark of his work. Further enhanced by a driving grooved bassline that propels the track forward, familiar melodic refrains ripple across the mid-range, further extended by new motif and arpeggio that are rooted in Soulwerk's original. Hitting its stride in the third movement with a precise combination of rhythm and melody, the result is a strong advert for Subconscious Tales' talent.

An artist operating out of the New Delhi capital, Vridian is keen to explore a wide range of musical genres that span electronica, deep house and melodic techno. Able to appreciate the necessary fundamentals to move audiences from in front of and behind the DJ decks, a well-travelled Vridian became resident at the "Gorg-O-Mish" club during a stay in British Colombia's coastal city of Vancouver. 2017 saw a production debut with the "Perplexed" EP on Mystery Train Recordings while more recent work has seen the Indian producer feature on Traum, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Mark Slee & Atish's Manjumasi imprint with "Silverfish" in September 2019. November also saw a further notable highlight in Qilla Records' "Knowbot".

Now debuting on Proton Music, the Vridian rework of "Funchal" retains the melodic hallmark of the original, extending beyond with a raft of new and sparkling motifs that ripple across the stereo spectrum with ease. Building effortlessly with a combination of metronomic rhythmic programming and intelligently placed fx washes, a subline new melodic sequence supplies a stunning new layer to Soulwerk's track and showcases Vridian's skill in abundance.

Remixes from Subconscious Tales and Vridian see Soulwerk extend his stay in "Funchal".

Soulwerk - Funchal (Subconscious Tales Remix)

An artistic pairing with a rich musical heritage, Matt Rowan and Robbie Lowe light up Particles with "Luminary". Remixes come from renowned Latvian and Hungarian stars.

Matt Rowan and Robbie Lowe have been at the forefront of the underground dance movement for over 20 years. From their Australian homes, both have pursued an impressive career path that has led them to the highest echelons of the industry. Rowan's debut alongside fellow countryman, Jaytech, saw the duo in the record boxes of every discerning DJ in the mid 2000s with a string of hits for the likes of Hope, Only Records and Curvve. A double century of credits in the intervening years has seen Rowan become a regular on Proton Music and Particles with releases including 2012 "Basics" album and 2019's "Fools Only" EP. Similarly, Lowe has seen notable work for Low Pressings, while joining forces with Rowan on Baroque, Outta Limits and September 2019's "Actual" for Late Night Music. A debut Particles offering finds a typically strong groove-oriented affair shimmer with percussive intent as deeply textured pads and sumptuous keys shine brightly in uplifting melodic sequences. Building hypnotically to a breakdown crescendo, a heavy bassline adds weight and dancefloor credentials in perfect juxtaposition.

The pairing of Blood Groove and Kikis have been responsible for some of the finest moments of underground house music in the past decade. Highly prolific, the Latvian duo can claim over 500 production credits with over a century on the renowned Spring Tube. Moreover, an array of releases on Silk Music saw 2014's "Wonderland" album as career high point, while October 2019's "Close to You" continued their long association with the label. A May 2015 debut on Particles saw a remix of GMJ take centre stage while further reworkings of Andre Sobota, East Café and Rafa'EL have showcased talent in abundance. Returning once more, the Blood Groove and Kikis remix combines heavy beat and mesmerising percussive intent with familiar refrains from Rowan and Lowe's original, as a groove-laden arpeggio takes "Luminary" in a new direction that builds with emotive new motifs and production work. The result is another immaculately crafted affair in the Latvian duo's arsenal.

A name that has consistently remained in the minds of the musical cognoscenti, East Café has been a pioneer of the modern progressive house and breaks scene. With impeccable attention to detail and unrivalled production ability, almost 600 production credits have found their way onto the likes of Mistique Music, Balkan Connection and Sudbeat Music, supported by an A-list of Digweed, Cattaneo and Warren. A regular on Particles, 2016's "Indian Summer" and 2017's "False Visions" were impressive originals while remixes of Matan Caspi, Derek Howell and Matter are now further enhanced with a dynamic and driving reinterpretation of "Luminary". Bristling with rhythmic intent as pulsating pads and keys from the original make their mark, a new motif ripples across proceedings highlighting East Café's musical craftsmanship. Full of dancefloor power and layers of additional production work, the Hungarian is still very much at the peak of his powers.

Iridescent in warm summer glow, "Luminary" finds Matt Rowan and Robbie Lowe shining bright.

The latest release from Clubsonica Records welcomes Dowden and Adrian Roman to the label for their debut single. The former sits as one of Canada's premiere progressive house talents, having earned the support of top international DJs such as Armin Van Buuren, Guy Manztur and John OO Fleming, while finding a home on Beatfreak, Soundteller and JOOF Recordings.
The latter, hailing from Spain boasts a similarly impressive resume with releases on Asymmetric Recordings, Beatfreak and Uner's Solar Distance. Having worked together once previously on DJ Zombi's Beat Boutique, Dowden and Adrian now debut on Clubsonica with 'White Rain', alongside remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Simos Tagias.

Beginning with the original mix its clear the duo's creative synergy has only grown since their first collaborative effort. Tough beats, clattering drums and an ominous effects narrative begin the seven-minute journey. Senses heighten as astral synths and hypnotic arps unite across a foreboding backdrop. Anticipatory and tense, the main break saturates your senses with phasing noise, before a bed of sizzling electronics sparks a timely drop and thrilling finale.

The first interpretation of 'White Rain' is provided by Dmitry Molosh who makes a welcome return to the label. Having made his Clubsonica debut in 2016 with a contribution to the labels ADE Sampler, the Belarus native has since gone on to provide two additional singles while also showcasing his music on Cid Inc's Replug Records, Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Nick Warren's Hope Recordings. Now following a remix of Quivver's 'Forest Moon', Dmitry returns to Clubsonica with a powerful rendition of 'White Rain'. Backed by a chunky, house inspired groove, Dmitry has carved out a strong foundation, complemented with rhythmic pulses and percussive drive. Club friendly in design yet hypnotic in delivery, it's fragmented motifs and hopeful overlays slowly engulf the framework, eventually carrying the piece into an emotive break. As the groove strips down, harmonic phrases converge, opening up for moments of reflective warmth, before a rush of drums shifts energy into a groovy finale.

Providing the second and final interpretation of 'White Rain' is Simos Tagias returns to the label for his second appearance. As one of the most recognized names in progressive house, the Athens resident has showcased his music on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Cid Inc's Replug Records. Having made his Clubsonica debut in 2018 with a well received remix of Armandhe's 'Ozadya', Simos now returns with a peak time take on 'White Rain'. Taking a cue from the original while adding a techno state of mind, the Greek artist carves out a dynamic groove adorned with astral sonics, firing drums and fresh rhythmic themes. Devilish stabs and cosmic arps continue to push momentum forward, before melting down into a cavernous break. Emotive yet tense, the one-minute interlude is a delight, with it's mind-bending modulation and methodical build ending in a trail of sonic decay and striking re-entry. It caps off a hugely successful project from Dowden and Adrian Roman, one which makes for a unique release and further solidifies Clubsonica's place amongst progressive music's elite labels.
