Mercurio makes his long-awaited return to Sudbeat with an exciting 3 track EP. 

Coming to global recognition in 2003, Mercurio combines a love of electronic music with live instrumentation and has been a firm favourite for many many years. Signed to Yoshitoshi, Flow Vinyl and more, his music has been featured on the albums of Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo. A regular highlight at the past Creamfields Buenos Aires, his live show is a spectacle all of its own. 

First up is 'Todo Pasa' an upbeat summery vibe rich in musicality. Arps glisten against the sparse percussive framework and robust Reese bass. A real arms aloft anthem. Next is 'Bane' a deeper cut with powerful low end. Ebbing against the rubbery bass, vocal shots echo around the space becoming a new melody line. Finally, 'Seconds Away' rounds out the EP. Ambient and enthralling, its every bit the sonic journey.

Italian-born, Graziano Raffa is Hernan’s right hand man at the label and an accomplished artist in his own right. From playing all over the world with the titans of the scene, he’s also hosted a successful radio show, Southside, for over 3 years and put some of his music on the field with releases on Sudbeat, Balance Music, Plattenbank and so on continuing the list today with two new cuts. 

‘Breathe’ opens with a subtle tribal feel and bumpy bass. Melodics soon take over adding depth and intrigue. As the main motifs swell to crescendo breakbeats take the track in new directions. On the flipside, ambience opens ‘Meltdown’. ‘80s-inspired synths lead the way as a bouncy bass adds traction. Building slowly, Raffa adds more percussive tones to the melodics for a wondrous sonic journey.

Interaxxis returns to the label with fresh music for 2020. 

For the past 7 years the Argentinian duo has worn a familiar path. Sun-drenched beats, warm melodies and devilish grooves set them apart from the crowd and releases on Selador, Hope Recordings and Balance Music cement their position among a handful of South American producers with real global appeal. 

First up is ‘Bleakness’, a sombre exploration of interconnecting melodies and textures. Stripped back percussion and a rubbery low end gives rise to playful synths, pads and FX telling their melancholy tale. Next, ‘Sikker’ draws you in with its bass power. Stark, icy sonics rally against field recordings, deep melodies and machine funk bass. Finally, ‘Inside’ featuring Paula OS is trippy downtempo left turn into the afterhours; Paula’s sobering vocals working against the dubby backdrop hypnotically.

Clubsonica Records begins the summer season by welcoming Julian Nates back to the label for a new EP. The Argentinean artist first appeared on the Colombian imprint in March of this year with 'Wild Side'. Backed by remixes from fellow countrymen Analog Jungs and Fabri Lopez, the release achieved remarkable success, earning support from Hernan Cattaneo and Guy J. Also calling Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and Antrim's Or Two Strangers home, Julian now returns to Clubsonica with 'The Last Call | Stardust' alongside a remix from Rick Pier O'Neil.

Electrically charged with punchy kicks and rising rhythmic structures, it's the energetic intensity of 'The Last Call' which gets the release underway. Elusive yet charming, its robust groove is inspired, mesmerizing with each successive loop as percussive details fill in the framework. Cinematic overlays advance the narrative into a tense break, highlighted by sizzling modulation and clustered drums, before a fiery crescendo summons an acid-fuelled finale. Taking the release into more emotive territory 'Stardust' entices both the heart and mind. Exceptional groove aesthetics make for a percussive, swing heavy jaunt, while vivid melodies and tranquil arps invite you further into this heartfelt beauty. Spanning over a minute in length, the main break melts down to a percussive rumble and meditative drawl, as a blanket of hopeful pads leads the way to a smooth rush and charming finale.

Making a welcome return to the label and providing the lone interpretation of 'The Last Call' is Rick Pier O'Neil. In addition to appearances on Beatfreak Recordings, Sudbeat Music and JOOF Recordings, the French artist has also found a comfortable home on Clubsonica, where he has released three singles and two remixes since making his label debut in February of 2017. Now following a single for Outta Limits, Rick returns to Clubsonica with an inspired rendition of 'The Last Call'. Coming in tougher, darker and more techno inspired it sits as a wonderful complement to Julian's glowing original. Devilishly hypnotic, the first act builds as elastic-like synths and phasing electronics saturate your senses. The main break pushes the narrative one notch further as waves of noise and panoramic designs sizzle, before a calculated build brings a rush of beats and drums inciting a tastefully twisted finale. A stunning remix from Rick which rounds out a welcome return to Clubsonica for both himself and Julian Nates.
