Donny Carr steps into HIGHER STATES with a bold 2-piece musical statement.

Known for genre-blurring explorations that unite deep, progressive, techno, and classic house, Utah-based music producer Donny Carr is the latest artist to align with the HIGHER STATES vision. A former saxophonist turned producer, Carr brings over 15 years of live-performance experience to high-level studio precision, resulting in a sound defined by groove, atmosphere, and instrumental soul.

His debut on HIGHER STATES aligns seamlessly with Roger Martinez’s musical vision: deeply textured, emotionally resonant progressive music with heart and drive. Within this perspective Carr however completely weaves his own distinct sonic trajectory, balancing great technical finesse with profound emotive resonance. Expect this release to stand as both a creative leap for Carr and a milestone in genre innovation.

South America moves differently. The rhythms are deeper, the nights longer, the dancefloors more connected. Out of Buenos Aires, EANP — Ezequiel Anile & Nicolás Petracca — are masterfully crafting the kind of progressive house that feels South American in its emotional weight, but universal in the way it connects.

EANP return to HIGHER STATES for another showcase of their audial skills and demonstrate enormous development in sound design. The EP features 3 idiosyncratic and truly original musical visions that don't shout, rather, they whisper, pull, transform.

Through this release EANP prove again why their sound resonates beyond borders: it isn't just beats, it's storytelling. On HIGHER STATES, their stories have room to unfold, to twist, to take you somewhere unexpected. This is progressive house at its most alive.

From Buenos Aires, FJL emerges with a sound that feels personal and unique in its kind. His new three-track EP on HIGHER STATES captures the essence of Future Progressive: emotionally subdued, hypnotic future funk.
FJL has been quietly building a name in the underground, sculpting grooves that breathe and evolve slowly. His music doesn't rush; it unfolds layer by layer, until you realize it's taken hold.

The EP's centerpiece ‘Mesh' is a collaboration with fellow Argentine producer Francisco Castro, a meeting of two artists who share the same language, musically and otherwise. Together they build something fluid, futuristic and cinematic: SFX shimmering like city lights through raindrops on windows, bass lines that carry a groove towards cinematic climaxes. A dialogue between friends who don't need to speak much to understand each other.

On 'Time Fades', FJL showcases his more melancholic side with definite Argentinian characteristics, but always staying original in the unfoldment of the arrangement and never choosing the obvious in terms of sample selection and sound design.

The last piece ‘Zaino', is a percussive, groove drenched monster, balanced by chord structures that preserve a balance in the light/dark dichotomy, and that slowly unfolds towards a maddening crescendo.

On HIGHER STATES, FJL finds the right platform for this sound: music that values depth over volume, impact over image. This is the sound of Argentina's new Future Progressive generation: subtle, patient, and quietly unstoppable.
