The latest release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine White finds the label showcasing new interpretations of Matteo Gargallo's ‘Inner Truth'. Released in July of this year, it marked the Italian artist's debut on the label alongside remixes from Christian Monique and Pavlin Petrov. The track's strong astral narrative was well-received, with all three versions sitting in Matteo's Beatport best sellers chart to this day. Now, looking to breathe new life into the track, Dopamine White invites Freemann (IT), ThinkDeep and Goda Brother to provide their own interpretations for the impending winter club season.

Making his label debut and providing the first interpretation of ‘Inner Truth' is Freemann (IT). Born and raised in Greece but now calling Italy home, Theodoros Katsigiannis aka Freemann has a short but tidy discography. Astral Records, Beatfreak, ONISM and Three Hands Records have played host to his melodic techno sound, while world class DJs Solomun, Fideles, Kevin De Vries and more have chimed in with support along the way. Now stepping to Dopamine White for his first appearance on the label, Freemann (IT) takes ‘Inner Truth' into his world of cosmic meanderings and meditative grooves. Spanning seven magical minutes, Freeman's imaginative rework resonates on a profound level, as he expertly transforms the parts into a consciousness-expanding conversion of musical ideas where sleek dance floor minded rhythms meet unpredictable sonic clusters, ethereal effects and hopeful overlays.

Returning to the label and providing the second interpretation of ‘Inner Truth' is ThinkDeep. Hailing from Greece, ThinkDeep first emerged in 2020 with an EP courtesy of MIR Music. With a sound that sat in the creative space between progressive house and melodic techno, the Athens resident was quickly noticed by Sound Avenue's Future Avenue imprint where he would go on to release his 'Illusions' EP the following year. Having made his Dopamine White debut in October with the well received ‘'Two Sided' EP, ThinkDeep now returns to the label with a stellar rendition of ‘Inner Truth'. Tough and groovy in equal measure, it's a mix that carries the sensibility of the original, while adding a contemporary vibe through astral phrasing and otherworldly effects, all while a well constructed framework keeps that dance floor energy on lock. 

The release concludes with Goda Brother providing the third and final interpretation of ‘Inner Truth'.  Hailing from Egypt, Goda Brother has been a fixture of the progressive house underground for well over a decade. With over one hundred discography entries to his credit, the Alexandria resident has found a home on Balkan Connection, Droid9, Eat My Hat Music, Movement Recordings and Sound Avenue. Now bringing his far-reaching sound to Dopamine White, Goda Brother delivers an inspired take on ‘Inner Truth'. Setting the piece in motion, a foundation of punchy kicks and striking stabs build momentum, before breaking off as a strong astral motif lands for a magical dance floor moment. Buzzing sonics, cosmic chord stabs and wavy arps add depth and colour leading into the main break. Here, Goda Brother relieves tension with an emotive, key changing interlude complete with heartfelt pianos and warm bass swells, before those striking stabs re-emerge for a strong finale.

Inner Truth (Freemann (IT) Siena Remix) [Dopamine White]

The time has finally come. After shooting us through the universe and back, Frank Sonic swings in again on ZEHN Records. This time in collaboration with his long trusted co-pilot Gabriel Di Pasqua.

Warming up the engines slowly for this expedition is „Walking into the Sun" which arrives in collaboration with Kirean Fowkes and his ethereally voice a meditative dive through the frequencies of life. Channels of pure flow open, as low-key synthesizer lines, cast a spell on our mind. Light arpeggios pass through our ear canals. It's time to close our eyes for a while.
What do you feel?

A wave of darkness encloses you like an endless pulsating blanket made from material energy itself. Open your eyes - NOW! Time to realize: You are now part of this wave. Roaring basses fill up the infinite space around you. Distant vocals join. Ecstatic melodies combine with powerful drums. Just be. There's nothing to fear. You are now entering into the sphere of “Mama Brahma”!

The 45th release lands on Infinite Depth and this time it’s a 5-track EP by the British Baardman. After shaping the EP for a while, these tracks are fully ready to see the light under the name of the ‘Embrace Variance’ EP. Four originals, accompanied by a great remix of our friend and sophisticated producer Alex Preda.

‘Facing The Observer’ is a break track focused on the drums surrounded by plucky and dreamy elements. An atmospheric and calm break is one of the outstanding moments during this track. After the break an unexpected saw is coming in, which could be seen as a perfect change of dynamics.

Premiere: Baardman - Facing The Observer

Clubsonica Records opens the fall season by welcoming Mario Eighta to the label for his debut EP. Since emerging in 2019 Mexican artist Mario Eighta has forged a distinctive sound which focuses on inventive use of melody and rhythm, drawing the lines between global dance cultures without adhering to any fixed formula. As a favourite of electronic music tastemakers Agents Of Time, Armen Miran, Fideles and more, the Playa del Carmen resident has compiled an impressive discography across a four-year creative swell, landing releases on top tier imprints such as Beatfreak, Freegrant Music and Tale & Tone. 

Continuing what has been a great start to the year, Mario Eighta steps forward with ‘Otus' which showcases his originality and sophistication as an artist. Anchored by a deep, chugging groove and smooth rhythmic pulses, the energy is fluid from the outset. Haunting tones, icy overlays and otherworldly arps steal the air as the first act evolves, elegantly moving through a forest of finely tuned percussion and wispy effects. Carrying into the main break, it's a series of astral sonics and haunting vocal pads which add mightily to the narrative, marrying beautifully with the interlude's darker monochromes, before percolating arps emerge for a prophetic moment and groovy finale. The companion piece ‘Berhert' finds Mario collaborating with fellow countryman Kleinfinger. Together the duo masterfully synthesize their talents into one singular progressive minded vision. Deeper and more atmospheric than its predecessor, it's a series of symphonic synth phrases which dominates the narrative, laid out perfectly over a bed of rippling grooves and punchy kick drums. Gathering an even greater astral tone, it is the main break which proves to be the highlight, melting down to a cavernous cinematic calm, before perfectly segueing into an understated drop and swirling atmospheric finale. 

The lone interpretation of ‘Otus' is provided by John Cosani. On the strength of early tracks John earned the praise of genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, in turn landing standout projects via Mango Alley, Or Two Strangers, Tale & Tone and more. Looking to further diversify his resume, John now makes his Clubsonica debut with a stellar take on ‘Otus'. Smooth and groovy across the first movement, John continues his stylized ways with buoyant grooves, operatic voices and retro chord stabs creating an eventful path into the main break. Sitting comfortably in a thought provoking space, John's quirky melodies rise out of calming atmospheres as the interlude evolves, adding perfectly to its concise yet anticipatory nature, before eventually breaking off into a percussive drop and shapeshifting conclusion.

The release concludes with Bemannte & Bruder. Hailing from Ireland, the Bemannte & Bruder duo first emerged in 2021 with a series of releases via longstanding UK imprint Stripped Recordings. Armed with a timeless progressive sound, Bemannte & Bruder were immediately tipped as a name to watch. Now, following a summer EP for Eleatics affiliate Aletheia Recordings, Bemannte & Bruder make their Clubsonica debut with a groovy interpretation of ‘Berhert'. Taking inspiration from the original, the Irish production team flexes their free-thinking muscles and crafts a version that lands comfortably between the surreal and exotic. Neatly manicured percussion and a thunderous, hip-swinging groove set the course for snatches of panoramic arps and orbiting effects, which ultimately highlight the first act. Coming to full fruition across the main break, a dystopian mood emerges as prophetic atmospheres and billowing tones converge, eventually giving way to a glowing arp-driven finale. A timeless interpretation from Bemannte & Bruder, which rounds an excellent Clubsonica debut for Mario Eighta, an artist who you'll certainly be hearing more from in the future.
