Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Nopi back to the label for his first solo project. Ukrainian artist Nopi brings a surreal beauty to his innovative brand of electronic composition. His colourful synth leads, exotic percussive arrangements and smooth, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a sound that is all his own. Emerging in 2019, Nopi has enjoyed a three-year creative swell, earning the praise of electronic music tastemakers such as Behrouz, Guy J, Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sebastian Leger and more; while All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit and TRYBESof have served as landing spots for his transcendent sound. Having made his Replug debut in 2020 with a collaborative project alongside progressive music star Dmitry Molosh, Nopi now returns to the trailblazing imprint for his first solo effort entitled ‘Nature In The Home'. 

Continuing to tread the waters between progressive and organic house, Nopi leans closer to the former on first track ‘Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms'. A dizzying dance floor slam powered by potent kick drums and hyperspace effects. Rather than burst into a whirlwind or electronic symphony, Nopi delivers tension through slow burn repetition, dodging expectations and emphasizing his conceptual charm, painting bucolic scenes of solitude, as hypnagogic effects unveil a semi-conscious dreamland, before the Ukrainian's creative attitude reveals itself during an interlude of colourful synth swagger and mesmerizing progression. 

Beneath the powerful tidal waves of 'Nature In The Mountains After Mushrooms' lies the spellbinding realities of 'Mistake Forest'. Packed to the hilt with drama and emotion, its adventurous spirit is something Nopi relishes in, as he flexes a trance-inducing side of his studio repertoire. A genuine exchange of melody and texture provide the narrative, where themes of introspection and hope get translated by fuzzed out vocal fragments, thought-provoking musicality and machine-gun style grooves. 

Continuing on a similar monochrome are the nostalgic qualities of the collection's final selection 'Capadocia'. Profoundly idyllic, it's a composition that further cements Nopi's elusive vision, as its buoyant beginnings morph into a meditative, consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas. Dark rebounding rhythms and rolling basslines set the course for rustic hooks, prismatic effects and metallic arps, which ultimately puts a stamp on this thematic collection from one of progressive music's rising mavericks.

Nikko.Z's Dopamine White opens the month of October by welcoming Felipe Garcia (UY) and Luciano Pelliza to the label for their debut EP. Hailing from Uruguay and inspired by Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Sasha, Felipe Garcia has an innate ability to tell a story within his brand of progressive music. Although just three years into his production career, long standing imprints such as 3rd Avenue, Balkan Connection, Deep Down Music and Droid9 have been a landing spots for Felipe's progressive sound, as he continues to establish his place amongst the genre's rising talents. Meanwhile, hailing from Argentina, Luciano Pelliza has emerged from his country's progressive house scene as an artist to watch. A pair of releases in 2022 via Transensations and Or Two Strangers affiliate Strangers Beats brought attention to the talented Cordoba resident, a rising force who had firmly established a groovy yet melodic take on the genre. Moving forward, the next two calendar years proved to be huge for Luciano, as he built on that early momentum with a consistent and more prolific release schedule, one highlighted by projects for Deep Down Music, Droid9, Mango Alley and Or Two Strangers, amongst others. Now, combining their extensive forces for the first time, Felipe and Luciano debut on Dopamine White with ‘Gravity Falls', alongside a remix from Enzo Paradiso & Felipe Gurascier.

Beginning with the original mix, the duo's craftsmanship reveals itself in what is a deep retro production aimed squarely at the dancefloor. A DJ friendly intro sets the pace for billowed chord stabs and flickering percussive arrangements to layer a tough, rolling bassline. Carving out a smooth path into the break, it's a series of vocal fragments which prelude an emerging melody, resulting in a strong emotional response. As the interlude melts down to a quiet calm, anticipation is high, with balmy atmospheres and muted melodies eventually revealing further vocal deconstructions, before segueing into a groovy, key-changing finale.

Rounding out the release with the lone interpretation of ‘Gravity Falls' is Enzo Paradiso & Felipe Gurascier. Hailing from Uruguay, both Enzo and Felipe have achieved measurable success across their respective careers. Their discographies are highlighted by releases via Mango Alley, MNL and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden. Now paired together for Dopamine White, Enzo and Felipe debut on the label with an inspired take on ‘Gravity Falls'. Opting for a deeper approach, the duo marry shapely grooves and rolling percussion with flickering sonics and balmy atmospheres. Hopeful melodies and trance inducing textures take centrestage across the main break, bringing equal amounts of exhilaration and serenity, before clustered sonics and a gentle build spark a groove-centric drop and glowing finale.

PREMIERE: Manu Pavez - Dancefloor Thriller [Traful]

Clubsonica Records rounds out the month of November with a new EP from label boss Juan Pablo Torrez and Jossem. Colombian artist and Clubsonica label boss Juan Pablo Torrez has compiled an impressive resume since first emerging in 2007. Mango Alley, Plattenbank, The Soundgarden, UV and more have served as landing spots for his progressive creations, while world class DJs Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren have been steadfast supporters along the way. Also highly regarded as a DJ, Juan remains one of Colombia's premiere talents, sharing the stage with Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, Tim Green, D-Nox and more. Meanwhile, also calling Colombia home is Jossem who arrives as one of his country’s new names in progressive house. A collaborative partnership with fellow countryman Kamilo Sanclemente has yielded standout projects for Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, amongst others. Now, combining their forces for the first time via Clubsonica, Juan Pablo Torrez and Jossem unveil their ‘Lost In Love | Ambar’ EP, alongside remixes from Marcelo Vasami, Hicky & Kalo and Abity.

Lead selection ‘Lost in Love’ finds Juan and Jossem introducing the emotive vocals of Velveta. A precious talent from Cali, Colombia who has already collaborated with some of electronic music’s finest innovators and labels such as Anjunadeep, Songuara and UV. Here the trio flex their creative muscles and craft a nostalgic progressive house gem, a sprawling production that would be equally at home above a festival skyline or sitting in the emotional sweet spot of an end of the night scenario. The companion piece ‘Ambar’ follows suit and lands in equally impressive fashion with a strong sense of drive and swing heavy rhythms. Although this looping hypnotism does not fail to command your attention, its slow burning anticipation, orbiting effects and otherworldly breakdown ultimately seal what is a mid-set masterpiece. 

The first interpretation of ‘Lost in Love’ is provided by Marcelo Vasami. A recent partnership with progressive house icon Hernan Cattaneo has seen the duo become a formidable remix team. Now, making his much anticipated Clubsonica debut, Marcelo puts a touch on ‘Lost in Love’. Taking a smooth yet energetic approach, he constructs a tight rhythmic core, complemented with punchy beats, reprocessed vocals and retro chord stabs. It's this timeless fusion of sound which ultimately makes for a version that is both refreshing and club-effective; one that should crossover to a variety of dancefloors across the remainder of 2024 and on into 2025.

The final interpretation of ‘Lost in Love’ is provided by Hicky & Kalo. Although regulars throughout Quebec's much lauded club circuit, it is the world-renowned Stereo Nightclub which has served as the home base for their impeccable taste and exquisite programming skills. Also accomplished producers, the duo's deep melodic sounds have found a home on Renaissance, Watergate, and their own Plaisirs Sonores imprint. Now, they make their long awaited Clubsonica debut with an inspired rendition of ‘Lost in Love’. Opting for a contemporary club-effective approach, the duo’s muscular grooves, robust rhythmic structures and hazy vocal mutations make this ideal for the peak-time hours, when emotions are at their most receptive, in turn adding another sure fire weapon to your arsenal for the remainder of 2024.

The release concludes with Abity for the lone interpretation of ‘Ambar’. Finding a home on Clubsonica, the duo’s creative partnership with the label began in 2022 with the release of ‘Sinerxia | Lotus’, a project which now finds them returning for their first remix, as they put their own unique twist on ‘Ambar’. Adding further depth to the release, the duo artist opts for an emotive approach here, focusing on a cohesive blend of swaying grooves and trance-inducing arps, while tastefully incorporating the original’s distinctive rhythmic qualities, sealing what is a feel-good journey to round out the release in style.
