Astral Records continues the summer season by welcoming PARALEL back to the label for his debut EP. Born in Valencia but now based in Ibiza, Spanish artist PARALEL first emerged in 2018 with releases via Dear Deer, Phobiq and Pursuit. Immediately recognized for his edgy melodic sound, PARALEL would go on to showcase his music with some of the genre's trendist imprints in Beatfreak, Eleatics, Infinite Depth and Somatic Records, while world class DJs Solomun and Tale of Us chimed in with support. Having made his Astral Records debut last year as part of the Celestial, Pt. 2 collection, PARALEL now makes a welcome return to the label for his debut EP 'The Man In The Secret Room', alongside a remix from Ivan Masa.

Getting underway with 'Reincarnation', PARALEL enlists the vocal talents of Davide Famularo for a supreme slice of melodic house. Remarkably powerful, its dynamic groove commands attention, moving through rolling contours and rhythmic pulses, while Davide's soulful chops steal the air amidst colourful synth phrasing, and a dramatic break which is sure to command the full attention of your dancefloor.

The lone interpretation of 'Reincarnation' is provided by Ivan Masa who also makes his label debut. With a career that spans the better part of two decades the Italian artist has forged a resonant worldly sound which focuses on inventive use of melody and rhythm. It's this fresh approach which has seen the Caserta resident showcase his music via ATLANT, Diynamic, NOTTURNA, Stil Vor Talent and more, while world class DJs such as Solomun and Tale of Us have been steadfast supporters along the way. Having made his debut on label affiliate Movement Recordings earlier this year, Ivan now adds Astral to his resume with a thrilling take on 'Reincarnation'. Drawing on the sensibilities of the original, the Italian artist reworks the foundation with dynamic kick drums and hypnotic rhythms. Resonating perfectly against the club-friendly backbone are dramatic stabs and enlightening vocal phrases, while a tense break perfectly preludes an electric finale.

Companion piece and title selection 'The Man In The Secret Room' rounds out the release with a deeper yet equally engaging journey. Enticing from the start, its warm grooves and clustered arps marry perfectly for emotional dance floor moments, while a break of divine textural bliss perfectly segues into a finale of clattering percussive and otherworldly effects.

Release Info:
Rising from the storied history of Movement is a new concept imprint 'Ãstrαλ'. Meaning 'of the stars' - Astral Records can be thought of an ecstatic, mystical out-of-body experience, wherein the spiritual traveller leaves the physical body and travels in an astral body onto 'higher' realms. A fitting description for the musical blueprint of the label which looks to showcase the best in contemporary melodic house and techno.

Holding down the AandR duties is long-time Movement Recordings artist Paul Anthonee who has been operating at the heart of the genre since it's early beginnings. In addition to an extensive history with the Greek imprint, the Cyprus based producer has also showcased his music via Beatfreak Recordings, Lost On You, Parquet, Steyoyoke and Suara. It seems only fitting then that Astral's inaugural release comes courtesy of Paul himself who presents his most anticipated project to date 'A Word Beyond'.

Spread across four tracks it's the mystical, peak time vibes of 'Cukan' which sets the tone for the release. Bulbous beats, charged rhythms and striking effects begin the seven minute journey. Senses heighten as choir-like pads and atmospheric swells unite across a devilish first act. Heady modulation delights throughout the main break, flowing through a stimulating band of quirky hooks and unpredictability, before rising to a gaseous crescendo and driving final movement.

Continuing with the cosmic ethos of the EP is the more emotive yet equally powerful 'Matterna'. Anchored by a tight, rippling groove the energy is palpable from the outset. Ethereal phrasing and fiery percussion deliver dynamic moments early, as timely effects add depth and a rare ravey tension. Carrying into the second act, the otherworldly lead descends over a cavernous centrepiece, elevating mood before a wave of effects launches you into euphoria's top floor.

Marking the release's halfway point is the commanding 'Virgo'. Built on a backbone of tough beats and a crunchy groove, its ghostly nature is alluring from the start. Tranquil yet energetic, fragmented melodies and percussive flurries add dynamic splashes as momentum builds across the first act. The narrative shifts during the break with a further lean into ethereal territory, bringing arcane moments, before a timely drop transfers energy into an exhilarating finale. Adding further complement to its predecessor's is the final selection 'Kamara' with it's enlightening, psychedelic presence.

Another heady creation from Paul which not only aims squarely at the dance floor but rounds out the first Astral offering in fine style, with early support by BLANCAh, EdOne, Paul Angelo and Don Argento, Nohak, ao. Don't miss it.
