Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes Rockka to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Sri Lanka, Rockka aka Lakith Adikaram has been releasing his own unique style of progressive music for the better part of two years. Appearances on Droid9 Limited, Emotional Content Recordings and Superordinate Music sit as discography highlights. Now following a contribution to Stripped Digital's 'Extended Play' series to begin the year, the Nugegoda resident steps up to Dopamine White for his first EP 'Night Rockets'. 

Beginning with the title selection, Rockka flexes the pure progressive side of his studio repertoire. Rolling grooves, fluid harmonics and wispy atmospheres surround the percussive framework, as gentle chord stabs add momentum to the storyboard. An array of stellar effects keeps your senses heightened as its hypnotic sensibility grows, before an emotive break resets the mood for a thumping finale.

The second selection 'Life In A Capsule' is not only nicely titled but continues the ethos of the EP perfectly. Its warm, punchy beats and buoyant groove command a big presence at the outset, before tranquil themes and radiant synths quickly take you into melodic territory. Subtle modulation and emerging atmospheres meld perfectly during an expansive break, adding just enough tension to offset the emotive musicality, before the pulsating groove drops for a charged final movement. 

'Olion' rounds the release out and finds Rockka crafting a percussive groover. Built around a chugging foundation, it's galloping cadence eventually grabs a hold of you. Sleek and meditative, it blends a nostalgic style groove with timeless top line elements. The main break furthers intrigue through smooth chord changes and pixie-like fragments, which not only provide a great emotional moment but also a smooth transition into a feel-good final act. A perfect way to cap off three fresh and inspired cuts from Rockka, who makes an excellent Dopamine White debut here. Highly recommended.

My first production. Produced fully, Imperfect represents the gate which separates contradictions of this world. A step from good to evil, from light to dark; as we live and learn, we realise how imperfect we are.

‘Electrique Boutique’, has been meticulously curated and crafted throughout the past year by Steve Marx, a highly respected and in demand Sydney based dj with decades of experience playing around the world, and an integral part of onedotsixtwo’s A&R and management team. He has enlisted the talents of a wide spectrum of producers from across the globe, both established and up and coming, to contribute exclusive and previously unreleased material which he has expertly selected and mixed to form a unique and dynamic mix bursting with energy and individuality.

onedotsixtwo’s mantra is ‘Proper Progressive’ and there is no better advocate than Steve Marx for this. Using his innate understanding of the progressive sound he has compiled a stunning collection of tracks from a diverse group of immensely talented producers, a number of which were created specifically for the compilation.

Nick Newman’s ‘Oracle’ sets the scene perfectly with it’s deep rolling groove and haunting pipes, giving way to veteran Belfast producer Chris Cargo’s ‘Wolfie’, setting the tone for what is undoubtedly going to be a wild ride. Next up, Buenos Aires’ Santi Cebrero’s ‘El Canto de la Calandria’ brings the Argentinean progressive flavour into the mix with it’s beautiful soaring melodies and chugging bassline.

The recent hotbed for the progressive sound, Sri Lanka, has given us SAJAY and the stunning ‘Pareidolia’ with it’s sweeping and warped FX, carried forward by a deep rolling bassline and shimmering melodies. Australia’s Zankee Gulati is up next with one of a number of the tracks written specifically for this mix compilation. Zankee has seen a meteoric rise in the past year thanks to universally praised releases on highly respected labels and his track ‘Who Are You?’ demonstrates exactly why with it’s laidback but powerful groove, euphoric melodies and muted, yet wildly infectious vocal hook. 

Now the mix comes into full flow with a duo of Argentine duos back to back, both also with tracks produced specifically for this compilation. First up, Analog Jungs’ ‘Saturnia’ takes us into orbit with a tight galloping kick and razor sharp shakers underpinned by a swooping bassline, sublime keys and a topline with enough energy to power a city. Fellow countrymen Oliver & Tom take the reins next with ‘Skyscraper’, a stunningly crafted piece that soars effortlessly and drives with intent simultaneously. 

The suspenseful and percussive beauty of ‘Sweet Melancholy’ from Colombia’s Zalvador gels effortlessly into the hypnotic and atmospheric ‘Lockdown’ by Russia’s Rise & Fall. Steve Marx then turns the dial back up to 11 with another Argentinean injection of power from Cordoba’s Ivan Aliaga and his beast of a track ‘Mysterious Stranger’. The penultimate track on this outstanding mix compilation comes from Missouri’s Will DeKeizer who’s masterful and emotive ‘Karma’ demonstrates perfectly why he is a name to watch this coming year. Last but not least by any means, and very fittingly, we head back to Sydney, Australia with Balad and his ethereal opus ‘Day and Night’ to close out this progressive masterclass.

VegaZ SL is a young producer from Sri Lanka and this is his second time on Big Bells Records. After he did a very successful remix of ALPHA21 & ROCKKA track in 2020 now he made for us an exclusive two tracks EP.
VegaZ SL had a very successful year and his music was released by labels such are BC2, Balkan United, Future Avenue, AH Digital, Another Life Music and of course our label Big Bells Records.

His two tracks EP is called "To The Galaxy", which gives feelings of the endless trip to the Galaxy and whole Space. These two tracks delivered what we like the most and it's melodies and feeling of flying and traveling with the stars. To The Galaxy and Imaginative are classic progressive house tunes with a strong story from the first few seconds till the last moments of the song. Imaginative also brings a small vocal sample with mystic expressions and inspirations.

We are sure that more great music will in the future come from this very talented DJ and producer. Welcome back VegaZ SL to Big Bells Records.
