Baardman - A Moment In The Sun (Sonic Union Remix) [Natura Viva] PREVIEW

Folded EP

1 Hannes Wiehager, Sonic Union - Folded (Original Mix) PREVIEW

Lowbit records reaches its 250th release and it is fitting that label owner Erik Pettersson, AKA Sonic Union, take the reigns to celebrate this milestone with his track Naturality, which is complemented by remixes from Samuel L Session and Nichols.

The original mix starts with a range of swirling arpeggiated melodies and stabs. The emphatic bassline then arrives and the pulse starts to quicken as this nostalgic soundscape evolves. The drums builds and key changes accompany layer after layer of synths, guiding your senses on a meandering sonic journey. The shows stopping riff then rises out of this wall of sound and takes the track into the breakdown. The riff subsides and the tension builds, with new layers of infectious melodies and textures appearing from from every sonic angle, before the riff then re-emerges and leads us all helplessly into euphoria.

Swedish techno legend Samuel L Session needs no introduction and takes care of the first remix. His interpretation is stripped back and firmly aimed at the dance floor. The unforgettable bassline takes centre stage and drives the track forward with industrial drums and synth stabs building into the breakdown. There is a moment of calm as synths swirl around the aural landscape before normal business is resumed and the cacophony of drums and synths drive the track forward relentlessly.

The second remix is taken care of by label favourite Nichols. His peak time futuristic interpretation delivers from the outset with the infectious, rippling bassline pushing the track forward and emotive melodies and key changes combining to build the tension into the breakdown. The full melody is now unleashed along with vocal samples and atmospheric strings, creating the perfect space opera. White noise builds alongside bass stabs and soaring strings and when the track come crashing back in with all the elements in perfect harmony, there really is nowhere to hide.

A fantastic and varied EP, with interpretations that will appeal to a wide range of musical palates.

Naturality EP

LBR250 Sonic Union - Naturality [Lowbit]

IAD family is happy to announce the latest release called 'Proximity'.

Sonic Union, the man behind the famous Lowbit teamed up with our very own Veljko Jovic for his debut single on our label. Together they have created this melodic record with a raw edge to it and dark undertones throughout. From the very first seconds, 'Proximity' emits that futuristic energy that we came to know and love from these two. With its stabby and analog leads, this one is built for late nights and afterparties.

This explosive track comes followed by three remixes by Lobor D, EMPHI, and Highjacks. On the remix duty, Lobor D brings us a real club jam with a warm atmosphere and heave dance beats. Highjacks goes a little deeper with their remix and builds up a strong festival anthem. Favorite among progressive lovers - EMPHI once again proved his quality with amazing melodic progression and hot beats.

Coming out just in time for clubs re-opening and live show acts. No matter if you listen to 'Proximity' at a club or a festival or even just sitting at your home, the party will be guaranteed.

Sonic Union - Melancholy Madness [Piraha] OUT NOW

"Label bossman Sonic Union steps up next. His remix sparks into life immediately, focusing on the floaty arpeggiators and a stripped-back drum groove. The vocals are used skillfully to build the energy and the spacey, funk-tinged progressive bassline drives the track forward with style and swagger. The showstopping lead line is unleashed expertly in the break to project us all into the next dimension."

2020 Vision EP is the result of the driving forces behind Lowbit each picking a favorite track from the Lowbit back catalog and re-imagining it for 2020.

Kicking things off is Forniva with his re-interpretation of Sonic Union's "Crucify Your Mind", originally released in September 2014 as Lowbit's 150th release. Forniva takes the high-energy original and puts his famous melodic twist on it, highlighted by beautiful orchestral strings.

Next up is Eleven Sins, who tackles Ziger's "Shadows", also originally released in 2014 and featuring Stephano Prunebelli. This fresh new take pushes it from Italo disco-inspired progressive house into a deep club banger, available as both a vocal and a dub mix.

Finally, Lowbit manager Sonic Union puts his darker twist on a more recent release, Kasper Koman's "Into Little Pieces" from 2017. The original was a big hit with its uplifting melodies and warm vibes and Sonic Union pushes it into 2020 with oodles of grit and character.

Continuing a long history of musical craftsmanship, Sonic Union and MXV emerge ice-cold from Scandinavian glaciers and London pulse. New leaders emerge from the imagination of an impressive general. An innovative sonic architecture is built upon familiar foundations as darkness and light prevail in musical enigma.
