Consolidated (Original Mix)

Sudbeat favourite Cid Inc. returns with this new package including three originals that have been pushing up dance floors worldwide!

'Moonstruck' is bubbling warm powerhouse, a throbbing mass of warmth, with slightly darker hints underpinning, as we drive ahead at full speed. Punchy and yet with a party edge, this is a biggie.
'Contrite' slows the pace a tad, with beautiful layered melodious cascading, wrapping around you, like a big hug from a good friend. A slight wonkiness adds to the tension and sophistication, as this gem unfurls its magical spell.
'Formation' is all about the bass, as its top line strides forward, before the warm tripped out stuttery effected drop that encapsulates your mind, before sheets of dreaminess ooze effortlessly glaze this sound cape of coolness.

The Scape

Juan Deminicis - The Scape (Preview)

An artist who epitomises the modern underground dance industry, Michael A is as gifted as is he is affable. Returning to Proton Music for fourth original EP in the space of twelve months, it is a genuine honour to welcome him back to the label with "Aura Tears".

From the central-southern city of Mazyr, rich in natural resources, Mikhail Akulich has mined from a rich seam of talent through his Michael A moniker. One of his country's most exciting talents, the Belarusian producer continues to find himself at the vanguard of the underground scene with his distinctive blend of "progressive house and techno". A prolific artist, some 650 production credits sit proudly next to the Michael A name; a profound achievement given a commercial debut with a clutch of original releases for Sterofaza and Fluro Music in mid-2012.

Since then a panoply of original and remix production material has been within the catalogues of some of the finest modern independent imprints, not least in the February 2017 "Micrologica" EP for Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat plus work for Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital and Cid Inc.'s Replug. Further original work for Mango Alley has also seen a high-profile remix from Australian icon, Jamie Stevens, while Akulich has also founded his own Genesis Music imprint to great effect and a regular vehicle for his production work. Hitting the Particles catalogues in late 2013, 2014's "Behind The Moon" was a notable highlight, as was March 2017's "Sapphire". Hitting Proton Music at the same time, a trio of original EPs have been spread across 2017 with "Bright Hope", "Symbol" and "My Style" all worthy of appearance on the flagship label. Now, Michael A returns to Proton with another original offering in the shape of "Aura Tears".

The title track is a beautifully sculpted piece that blossoms into a pulsating and driving anthem that is a perfect example of modern underground progressive house. Richly textured, floating pads and shining melody reveal themselves fully in the stripped breakdown before reaching a crescendo in the third movement, while a glorious bassline progression adds genuine purpose and interest in a work of great skill.

Revelling in similar melodic themes to its predecessor, "Ciklus One" is founded upon a strong rhythmic framework that supplies dancefloor interest in off-beat percussive cadence. Simultaneously a deep bass groove sparks low-end electricity while intelligent spacing within the mix and across the stereo spectrum highlights technique and mature production craft.

The final track continues the melodic tropes of earlier work as textured pads and shimmering motifs emerge over the seven-minute journey that coruscates brilliantly at the mid-point breakdown. Binding rhythm and melody together with bassline glue, a sublime groove keeps dynamism high accompanied by deep kick and ticking percussion.

Three new tracks find tears of joy rooted in Michael A's aura.

Buy on Beatport

Available March 5th exclusively through Beatport and Spotify. Matan Caspi - Crosswinds (includes remixes by Kamilo Sanclemente & Juan Pablo Torrez - Paul Kardos - LoQuai) - Clubsonica Records.

The 41st release on Clubsonica Records welcomes Matan Caspi to the label for his debut single. The Israeli artist has been a mainstay of the electronic music underground for more than a decade. Releases on Global Underground, Deeperfect, Movement Recordings and Spinnin highlight his discography. More recently Matan has been dominating Beatport's Progressive House charts with a string of outings on his Outta Limits imprints. Now stepping up for his Clubsonica debut Matan presents his latest single ‘Crosswinds' alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente & Juan Pablo Torrez, Paul Kardos and LoQuai.

Having been nominated for Progressive House artist of the year by Beatport has only fuelled Matan's creative fire. Never one to rest on his laurels the Israeli unleashes one of his all time best works in ‘Crosswinds'. Beginning with warm swells and vocal overlays the framework gets filled in with chunky bass stabs and vibrant percussion. The narrative shifts with the introduction of a full vocal, carrying the composition further into emotive waters. Intertwined with a cascading lead theme it's a magical pairing, making for what might be Matan's most emotionally gripping creation date.

The first interpretation of ‘Crosswinds' is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente & Juan Pablo Torrez. This is a first time collaboration from the Colombian duo for Clubsonica who have both enjoyed immense success in their solo careers. Now a staple of Beatport's progressive house charts Kamilo has grown into one of Colombia's biggest artists, while Clubsonica label boss Juan Pablo Torrez has become a regular in the sets of Hernan Cattaneo. With both having their pulse on the heart of the genre this first time collaboration for Clubsonica has been much anticipated and delivers in a major way. Clocking in at ten minutes it's an expansive journey which expands the consciousness of the original. From its rippling, rib crushing groove to a collage of astral motifs it's a compelling first act, perfectly setting up a cavernous break. Building to an effervescent boil, before melting down to vocal fragments and sonic artefacts, it's a two minute interlude for the ages, foreshadowing the cosmic finale perfectly.

Rising out of Hungary's hotbed of progressive house talent is Paul Kardos. No stranger to Clubsonica, having just released his excellent ‘Main Theme' single, the Hernan Cattaneo favourite now returns to remix ‘Crosswinds'. Putting his pure progressive touch on the composition, the Hungarian utilizes the vocal motif perfectly, drifting above a warm, chuggy foundation and layers of hypnotic refrains. Growling stabs add drama to the emotive tapestry, eventually breaking down into a trail of vocal effects and bulbous bass tones. Its meditative qualities set the stage for a smooth energy bridge, bringing an understated yet poignant rush into the hypnotic finale. 

The release concludes with LoQuai making his debut on the label. There are few in the progressive house underground with a longer and more extensive discography than the Russian born, German based artist. His decade long career has cemented his place in the genres history. Known for his groovy productions Loquai opts for a smooth, exhilarating approach, highlighting the vocal and lead theme in a more indistinct way, as it melds perfectly with the flowing atmospheres and tonal changes. A lovely remix from Loquai which rounds out what would have to be considered one of Clubsonica's most sought after releases to date.
