Rising out of Argentina's electronic underground and making his much anticipated Replug debut is Ivan Aliaga. Hailing from the talent-rich region of Cordoba, Ivan's musical palate takes reference from the progressive genre's vast spectrum; in turn creating an authentic voice that is discernibly his own. Noted for his attention to detail, tough kick drums and electric design quality, Ivan's craft shines through vividly, making each one of his creations an exhilarating experience. On the strength of releases via Mango Alley, Meanwhile, Or Two Strangers and The Soundgarden, Ivan has earned the praise of genre trendsetters Cid Inc, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed and more. Now, following his latest Mango Alley vehicle ‘Blue Shade', Ivan makes his Replug debut with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Lonely World'.

The EP's title selection ‘Lonely World' sets the tone with a remarkable display of rhythm and musicality. Tight, compact and bursting with ultrasonic energies, it's a creation built around meditative melodies and temperate harmonies. There's a strong sense of cruising across the first movement, one that allows the listener to relish in Ivan's rippling grooves and orbiting effects, in turn perfectly setting up a series of poignant chord changes and processed piano's which carry energy into the main break. Ivan's craftsmanship shines across the interlude, with effervescent phrasing and fuzzed out synth swagger cleverly coaxing, eventually revealing a pixie-like lead melody which pushes onwards to a finale that is equal parts cosmic and emotive.

The companion piece ‘Speed' follows and is an apt barometer of where Ivan's headspace is at, as he lets tight kick drums lay the foundation for gritty percussion and devilish effects to create a darker monochrome. Energies shift and emotion rises as hopeful pads emerge, bringing depth and space to the pyrotechnic framework, before getting washed away in a wave of deconstructed sonics for a heady finale. It's a thrilling conclusion to a fresh two-track showcase, one where Ivan Aliaga makes an impressive Replug debut, and carefully balances rhythm and groove with technique and melody.

BIO:

Martin surely can be described as legend of Nuremberg‘s electronic music scene. In 1992, at the age of 16, he discovered his passion for electronic music and began playing vinyl on two borrowed Technics turntables. During that time he completed an internship at a local radio station (Radio N1), where he soon was recognized for his Djing. 

First bookings as „Martin Martinez“, his former Dj name, at various events of the radio station like „N1 Sunday Dancehall“ and the weekly radio show „N1 Club Night“ followed, where he not only played vinyl with lots of heart, but also took over the moderation of the radio show.

Especially as a resident of the „N1 Rave Signal“ events, which took place at Volksbad, an abandoned Art Nouveau-Style bath, he soon gained a large fan base with his captivating techno and breakbeat sets and weekly played on stage with famous musicians like Sven Väth, Westbam, Carl Cox, Earth Nation, Tanith, Resistance D, Jens Lissat, Oliver Lieb and many more.

To spred his wings wider and take his immense passion for Djing to the next level, he changed his name to Martin Groovic in 1995 and soon played gigs in all major techno clubs in Franconia such as Boot, Dolphin Club, Paisley Park, Forum, Lancia Odeon, DUB Club and the Octagon in Eltmann and invitations to clubs in Munich and festivals in Italy followed.

In 1996 he and two partners founded the legendary TOS Club, where he organized weekly club nights and after hours and quickly became a well known musician in the Nuremberg techno scene for blowing up the dancefloors with his unique music style. 

His characteristics as a deliverer of music are within the inexhaustible dimensions of sound, creating imaginary dream worlds within his listeners and taking them on a journey full of depth, magic and desires – always with an unconditional love to music. His repertoire ranges from rhythmic, spherical house and techno sounds filled with lots of emotion to downtempo and acid sounds with the right drive to dance the nights away.

In 1998, after two successful years of TOS, the club mysteriously burned down and Martin moved to Munich. In 2000 he founded his family and took a time out for several years. During his break the love to music still accompanied him in private, but now the passion for Djing and the wish to create musical suspense grew strong again. And so he‘s back, more motivated than ever, presenting new monthly mixes on his Soundcloud. In the near future Martin Groovic will surely be seen and heard again in the clubs.
