Van Dray Selections 2015

Andre Sobota is a grande forca in the world of modern dance music. Effortlessly transcending genres while impossibly retaining the respect of DJs and fans alike, the Brazilian from the cosmopolitan city of Sao Paolo has become an iconic figure in both underground and mainstream dance arenas through an unrivalled dedication and passion to his craft, delivered now to Proton through his "Signal".

An accomplished musician in a variety of forms, Sobota's success has its roots in a mastery of electronic music in all its guises, executed with rare skill, verve and technique. This, combined with the melting pot of multicultural influences inherent in his home city, has enabled Sobota to "connect distant areas of music in a distinctive way" to secure the respect of his peers and the continued admiration of a faithful following that has extended far beyond his South American heritage to the four corners of the world.

Fast approaching 250 production credits, the Andre Sobota resume reads like a list of the finest wines extending from a 2008 vintage on Spectrum Recordings, through exquisite performances on such impressive labels as microCastle, Anjunadeep and Toolroom. Such a blue chip list extends further with the best-selling remix of Coldplay and Rihanna's "Princess of China" which elevated Sobota further still to the highest echelons of modern producer.

A regular on BBC Radio, "Aura" was featured on Matt Zo's Radio 1 "Essential Mix", while the forthcoming "Astral Lady" on Anjunadeep recently received support from Simon Patterson on the "BBC Radio 1's Residency".

Proton Music has also become a welcome stopover on the course of Andre Sobota's musical voyage. The "Outside" EP hit New Year's Eve parties at the start of 2010, going on to receive stellar remixes from the likes of Kassey Voorn and Ryan Davis while "One Day Out" and "Unreal" shone in luminescent beauty later that year. 2014 marked a return with a glorious remix of Tvardovsky's "Hope" and it is with real pleasure that Proton Music welcomes back Andre Sobota with "Signal", his first original new music for the label in four years.

Full of trademark galloping rhythms, the melodic poise with which "Signal" quickly hits its stride is a joy to behold. Emotionally charged, Sobota's dance floor energy is a fundamental component that drives emotive melodies in effortless fashion to create an intelligent work of captivating beauty.

A welcome return to Proton Music, Andre Sobota is about to "Signal" his intent with the creation of yet another masterpiece.

André Sobota - Signal

Out 24th November '14 on Stripped Digital. Also including a dub version of the remix.

Amber Long, Robert Mason, Decker - Apologies (Cid Inc Remix)

Canadian and French duo 'Van Did & Arno Gonzalez' deliver a fine EP of underground goodness, while adding layers of melodies to brighten the overall appeal on the mighty Sudbeat who have been wow-ing clubland with an array of quality that shows no sign of let up.

Starting with the title track 'Vias', from the off, its intensity dictates that this serious slab of goodness is going to be doing the damage. Big dominating bass sounds lead the proceedings, while subtle dreamy edged pads, with nice crystalliser effects add a trippier vibe to this solid wondrous soundscape.

'Van Did' goes solo next with 'Relatii'. This romantic warm fantasy of sound meanders from daydreaming glistening moments to another with ease, like breath of fresh air for the dance floor.

And to round things off, the duo return with 'Kasepian'. A Berlin edged sounding gem, with its brooding bassline meeting whimsical sounds cascading into each other in an intoxicating marriage.

Phraktal - System Error [Silinder Remix] OUT NOW

With 2014 winding to a close Cid Inc's Replug Records returns for one final and rather large release.

The Finnish imprints 32nd offering features the label debut of Derek Howell who has enjoyed some excellent moments in 2014. In March the electronic music veteran returned to John Digweed's Bedrock Records with a contribution to the labels 'Underground Sound of Miami Series' and more recently a new version of Derek's classic record 'Happy To Be Sad' was selected by Hernan Cattaneo for the Beatport #1 Balance 26 compilation. Derek's debut single for Replug Records is entitled 'Red Dwarf' and it comes with a remix from Cid Inc.

Derek Howell productions carry many distinguishable traits; his mysterious way of created unique, complex and emotionally stimulating melodies is one that really hits home.
'Red Dwarf' may be one of the US producers most poignant creations to date. As the track gets underway waves of rolling bass and liquid-like electronics generate sizable momentum. With the groove growing It's slow burning build and buoyant melodies become increasingly captivating. Joyous chord changes and a teased sax hook then lead the track into the main break. Here a warm underbelly begins to swell with intensity, eventually revealing the full complement of sweeping sax riffs all over a bed of fluid harmonies. This emotionally gripping motif takes the composition into timeless territory and the end result is one of Derek's most sought after productions all year.

The lone interpretation of 'Red Dwarf' is provided by Replug label boss Cid Inc. Swedish producer Henri Hurtig aka Cid Inc. has had the best year of his electronic music career. A July appearance on Anjunadeep was flanked with the Herman Cattaneo directed Sudbeats Volume 2 and Balance 026 compilations. The recent announcement of Cid Inc's debut single for Guy J's Lost & Found Records already has electronic music fans looking forward to 2015 and he has closed 2014 off an a high note with a deadly interpretation of Derek Howell's 'Red Dwarf'. Cid Inc. has been shattering the progressive and techno genre barriers for the better part of the last decade and it's certainly prevalent here once again. Derek's smooth, melodious grooves have been transformed into an electrically charged bundle of crunchy rhythms. A foundation of billowing bass swells along with a collage of electronics drives the track into the main break. As the nearly two minute interlude begins to take shape there is a real aura of something special happening. The gyrating synths and ever expanding tonal themes are met with a dramatic build which results in an electrifying conclusion that's sure to light up your dance floor. A standout interpretation from Cid Inc. which rounds out another excellent release on Replug Records in fine style.

Hernan Cattaneo has developed over the years a unique sound that has conquered the hearts of millions of fans all over the world. This wasn't going to be different, and with the help of Soundexile, they came up with two exquisite remixes.

The second one is a deeper version that climaxes into a modulated theremin synth that gives a playful touch to the record. Last but not least Paul Deep also made two remixes that impart a spin to the main line with a purer techno version of Cognitive Behaviour. The first one, with concise synths that conquer the deepest parts of our minds, right away captures our hearts. The last version of it is one with a vigorous bass immersing the listener into the ultimate techno experience.

As its owner and manager, Ziger has utmost confidence in Eat My Hat Music. Anything less, and the Greek producer would, well, “eat his hat!” The fledgling label’s already made a profound impact on progressive house. Along with showcasing in-house productions, it's featured the likes of D-Formation, Simos Tagias and Kenan Savrun. Having built a firm roster foundation, “Pleasure” turns attention back to the dancefloor. Anchored by a cavernous groove and hypnotic tension, the original mix tunnels into listeners’ consciousness.

Pleasure

Premiere: Ziger - Pleasure [Eat My Hat Music]

Hernan Cattaneo is a leading head of our scene and with his over three decades of experience as a DJ, producer and entertainer he’s was on our long time release wishlist.

We welcome him on Einmusika together with Audio Junkies. “A Major Minor“ comes with a clear groove and a dreamy and hooky key stabs. The melody is warm and uplifting combined with metallic parts, which guide you through the whole song. The basic theme has it’s peak in a reduced break full of magic. D-Nox & Beckers delivered a trembling remix which is remarkable from the first bar. It is bringing the summer nights back into our clubs. The B-Side is “Nobility of Time“ which leads into a shaky production with a big soundscape in the back and decent voice progression.
