Clubsonica Records rounds out the summer season by welcoming Ruben Karapetyan back to the label for his debut EP. Born in Armenia but now calling Los Angeles home, Ruben has carved out a unique place in the electronic underground. On the strength of his fresh, progressive sound Ruben quickly earned praise from the genre’s trendsetters in Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also becoming a regular in Beatport’s competitive sales charts. This resurgence also re-established Ruben’s DJ career, one which saw him share the stage with Sasha & Digweed, Sven Vath and Orbital as part of lineups at legendary events and club nights. Seemingly in constant motion, Ruben’s Clubsonica debut came in 2023 with a remix of ‘Kamikaze’ by K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren, a project which would be followed by a contribution to the label’s popular Sampler series later that same year. Now, Ruben returns to Clubsonica for his first artist EP ‘Neurotransmitter | Parisian Vibe’, alongside remixes from Gai Barone and Molac. 

Beginning with the cosmic qualities of ‘Neurotransmitter’, Ruben's craftsmanship reveals itself, as striking chord stabs, phasing sonics and percolating effects flicker atop punchy kick drums and chunky grooves. It's this astral collage which carves out a heady path into a brief but thought-provoking break, one which proves to be tension filled. Ethereal phrasing and swirling noise drift amidst icy synth mutations and billowing sonics for a prophetic mood, eventually giving way to a charged finale that’s nicely suited to the astute dancefloors out there. Meanwhile, the companion piece ‘Parisian Vibe’ follows suit with a similarly tough and modern progressive approach. Ruben’s elusive production chops serve him well here as he crafts a seven-minute journey that is bursting with ultrasonic qualities and a keen sense of rhythm and groove. Flowing through wavy arps and retro acid lines, the first act evolves with a veteran's savvy, eventually revealing an emotive break complete with a tasteful marriage of hopeful pads and haunting vocals, a poignant fusion of sound which is sure to leave long lasting memories on the dancefloor.

Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of ‘Neurotransmitter’ is Gai Barone. With an esteemed career stretching the better part of two decades, Gai Barone has become one of electronic music’s most sought-after artists. Afterglow, Bedrock, Lost & Found, Renaissance and his own Patternized Recordings imprint have been landing spots for some of his most notable work. In a year that has already seen Gai record chart topping remixes for Dreaming Awake, RKP and Vapour Recordings, the talented Italian now returns to Clubsonica with an exhilarating take on ‘Neurotransmitter’. Taking a smooth progressive approach, Gai constructs a tight rhythmic core, complemented with punchy beats, reprocessed sonics and cascading arps. It's this colourful fusion of sound which ultimately makes for a version that is both melodic and club-effective; one that should crossover to a variety of dancefloors across the remainder of the summer season. 

The release concludes with Molac with the lone interpretation of ‘Parisian Vibe’. Based in Ecuador, Molac has carved out a unique sonic identity in the world of electronic music and organic house. His resume is highlighted by releases via All Day I Dream, Songuara, The Soundgarden, Watergate and more. Now, fresh off a well-received debut on Renaissance's long-standing imprint, Molac adds Clubsonica to his resume with an inspired rendition of ‘Parisian Vibe’. Opting for a lighter, more celestial approach, Molac's colorful monochromes, hopeful atmospherics and effortless grooves make this ideal for the morning hours when emotions are at their most vulnerable, in turn adding another weapon to your arsenal.

Bursting onto the Progressive House scene in mid-2020, Fausto Javier Loza has carved out quite a name for himself with his FJL production moniker. Since a debut on Balkan United, the Argentinean producer has found his music allied to such esteemed imprints as sister Madlochs Sound Avenue and 3rd Avenue, Roger Martinezs HIGHER STATES and Mangos all-conquering Mango Alley. Now the Rosario resident from the province of Sante Fe, debuts on Proportion with a 3-track EP of the highest order as FJL presents his Alter Ego / Losstower / Rare Wizards EP. With a deep, fizzing bassline narrative running throughout the triptych, Alter Ego is a chunky rhythmic powerhouse that sees a chest-thumping kick paired with a deliciously grooved bass pattern creating a sublime rolling pattern. A kaleidoscopic array of effects and risers are scattered across the 6-minute piece as a delicate arpeggiated melody gradually evolves from the low-end foundation. Pulsating white-noise washes and a hypnotic dance-floor vibe add to proceedings in an impressive opener. A Tech House vibe infuses Losstower with its plethora of stereo-panned effects and sub-bass groove. A series of cleverly treated vocal effects add to the sonic melange with their eerie overtones, while meticulously programmed hats and shakers provide dancefloor urgency. Subtle melodic flourishes add to the overall feel and the result is a production masterclass from the FJL studio. The final offering sees Rare Wizards immediately showcase its club-friendly credentials through house rhythm and hypnotic bass sequence. In keeping with its partner tracks, a flurry of deep, dark and powerful effects make their presence felt alongside evolving textures and immaculate melodic touches. Layer upon layer of evermore intricate sounds come to the fore, felt especially keenly at the powerfully pulsing breakdown, before returning to the dramatic rhythmic urgency and plethora of effects that create a track bringing to mind such maestros such as John Digweed, Quivver and Jamie Stevens.
