'The latest release on Hicky & Kalo's label Plaisirs Sonores Records is a scintillating package, which brings together two titans of the progressive scene. The EP features two progressive house legends; Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren alongside their collaborators Soundexile and Nicolas Rada. They have both remixed tracks taken from the most recent Hicky & Kalo EP 'Borealis'.

It's been quite a ride for Hicky & Kalo in the last 18 months. The young duo have made a name for themselves in the progressive house scene with a string of quality releases, including a collaboration with Seth Schwarz and releases on Hernan Cattaneo's label Sudbeat and Cid Inc's label Replug. In the meantime, they were remixed by both Rodriguez Jr. and Sahar Z. The reaction to their latest EP 'Borealis' was quite something and the title track was even in the Top 100 Beatport Progressive House for 67 days.

With this powerhouse remix EP now on the way, it is surely the cherry on top of a momentous last 18 months. We hope you enjoy it!'

Thanks BEATPORT for the big banner !

Hicky & Kalo - Borealis (Nick Warren & Nicolas Rada Remix)

Continuing to ride a tidal wave of success, progressive house phenom Alex O'Rion returns to Cid Inc's Replug Records with ‘Space Age'. Rising out of a successful career as a trance producer, Dutch artist Alex O'Rion took inspiration from the likes of John Digweed, Nick Warren and Sasha, to forge a path into the world of progressive house. Alex's groovy melodic sound found its footing quickly thereafter, as he notched releases via Nick Warren's Hope Recordings and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. Moving forward, 2020 proved to be a breakout year for the Nijkerk resident. On the strength of projects for Replug and The Soundgarden, Alex rose to Beatport's #3 best-selling progressive house producer, paving the way for 2021 releases via Guy J's Lost & Found and UK behemoth Anjunabeats. Now as 2022 takes shape, Alex continues his fruitful relationship with Replug, presenting a third and much anticipated artist showcase for the label entitled ‘Space Age'.

EP opener and title selection ‘Space Age' finds Alex operating at the peak of his creative powers. Fuelled by rhythm and groove; it's wobbly basslines and flickering percussive arrangements resonate on a transcendent level. Fluid and trippy across the first movement, Alex continues his stylized ways with timely vocal fragments and supernatural effects creating a colourful path into the main break. Sitting comfortably in an ethereal yet thought provoking space, submerged beats rise out of intoxicating atmospheres as the interlude evolves, eventually spearheading a groove-centric drop and mystical finale.

Rounding out the release is ‘Aperon' which lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship. Alex reaffirms his instinctive ability to tip a dancefloor over the edge, planting multiple explosions of serotonin through wavy melodies, clustered effects and disorientating projections. Clever co-actions make for a break that is both surreal and tense, flowing through undulating rhythms and cascading melodies, before confidently returning to the groove for a sweeping aerial finale.

With ‘Space Age' Alex continues his journey across the electronic cosmos, presenting two crushingly catchy productions steeped in colourful musicality and thought-provoking atmospherics.

The principles of humanity depend on the decade system, so it is not surprising that the number ten has a special significance. The tenth release of Guy Mantzur's label proves the point. How do you appreciate those special moments and the good times in your life?
Whatever makes you happy, music always enhances the emotion behind it. Simon Vuarambon, a Swiss living in Argentina, is a producer with a dozen years of experience. His debut release on Moments is a game-changer. Not only for his successful career but also for the label.
A three-track material takes over twenty breathtaking minutes to display outstanding technical skill and passion.
The opening track, Afrika, floats on a smooth groove with hypnotic synth lines and traces of tribal elements. Meco continues the impeccable drum structure but goes deeper into melancholia and peaks with the memorable lead. Oasis is an exemplary closing track and a thought-provoking finale.
Every one of Simon's tracks has a one-hundred percent individual weight. However, listening to them as a piece indicates the praiseworthy delivery of an uncompromising concept.

Guy J marks the 60th release on his Lost & Found imprint with a two-track EP of his own titled 'Synthopia / Cicada'. Here Mixmag reveals the bumping and progressive house anthem 'Synthopia' that showcases the infectious side of Guy J's material by delivering a carefully crafted hypnotic dancefloor cut that blends classic electronica with powerful motifs. 

Guy J had this to say on the vision behind the new material: "'Synthopia' for me is a track that takes me back to trance music that I used to love and influenced me a lot. Good vibes and a lot of energy."

'Synthopia / Cicada' is set for release April 22.
