Clubsonica Records rounds out the summer season by welcoming Ruben Karapetyan back to the label for his debut EP. Born in Armenia but now calling Los Angeles home, Ruben has carved out a unique place in the electronic underground. On the strength of his fresh, progressive sound Ruben quickly earned praise from the genre’s trendsetters in Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also becoming a regular in Beatport’s competitive sales charts. This resurgence also re-established Ruben’s DJ career, one which saw him share the stage with Sasha & Digweed, Sven Vath and Orbital as part of lineups at legendary events and club nights. Seemingly in constant motion, Ruben’s Clubsonica debut came in 2023 with a remix of ‘Kamikaze’ by K Loveski and Geronimo Eguiguren, a project which would be followed by a contribution to the label’s popular Sampler series later that same year. Now, Ruben returns to Clubsonica for his first artist EP ‘Neurotransmitter | Parisian Vibe’, alongside remixes from Gai Barone and Molac. 

Beginning with the cosmic qualities of ‘Neurotransmitter’, Ruben's craftsmanship reveals itself, as striking chord stabs, phasing sonics and percolating effects flicker atop punchy kick drums and chunky grooves. It's this astral collage which carves out a heady path into a brief but thought-provoking break, one which proves to be tension filled. Ethereal phrasing and swirling noise drift amidst icy synth mutations and billowing sonics for a prophetic mood, eventually giving way to a charged finale that’s nicely suited to the astute dancefloors out there. Meanwhile, the companion piece ‘Parisian Vibe’ follows suit with a similarly tough and modern progressive approach. Ruben’s elusive production chops serve him well here as he crafts a seven-minute journey that is bursting with ultrasonic qualities and a keen sense of rhythm and groove. Flowing through wavy arps and retro acid lines, the first act evolves with a veteran's savvy, eventually revealing an emotive break complete with a tasteful marriage of hopeful pads and haunting vocals, a poignant fusion of sound which is sure to leave long lasting memories on the dancefloor.

Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of ‘Neurotransmitter’ is Gai Barone. With an esteemed career stretching the better part of two decades, Gai Barone has become one of electronic music’s most sought-after artists. Afterglow, Bedrock, Lost & Found, Renaissance and his own Patternized Recordings imprint have been landing spots for some of his most notable work. In a year that has already seen Gai record chart topping remixes for Dreaming Awake, RKP and Vapour Recordings, the talented Italian now returns to Clubsonica with an exhilarating take on ‘Neurotransmitter’. Taking a smooth progressive approach, Gai constructs a tight rhythmic core, complemented with punchy beats, reprocessed sonics and cascading arps. It's this colourful fusion of sound which ultimately makes for a version that is both melodic and club-effective; one that should crossover to a variety of dancefloors across the remainder of the summer season. 

The release concludes with Molac with the lone interpretation of ‘Parisian Vibe’. Based in Ecuador, Molac has carved out a unique sonic identity in the world of electronic music and organic house. His resume is highlighted by releases via All Day I Dream, Songuara, The Soundgarden, Watergate and more. Now, fresh off a well-received debut on Renaissance's long-standing imprint, Molac adds Clubsonica to his resume with an inspired rendition of ‘Parisian Vibe’. Opting for a lighter, more celestial approach, Molac's colorful monochromes, hopeful atmospherics and effortless grooves make this ideal for the morning hours when emotions are at their most vulnerable, in turn adding another weapon to your arsenal.

Clubsonica Records opens the fall season by welcoming Bemannte & Bruder back to the label for a new EP. Hailing from Ireland, the Bemannte & Bruder duo first emerged in 2021 with a series of releases via longstanding UK imprint Stripped Recordings. Armed with a timeless progressive sound, Bemannte & Bruder were immediately tipped as a name to watch. Clubsonica has also become a comfortable home for the duo, with an EP and remix project released across the last twelve months. Now, following last years well received ‘Amongst the Stars' EP, Bemannte & Bruder make a welcome return to Clubsonica with ‘Summer Nights', alongside remixes from Antrim and Gux Jimenez. 

Noted for their timeless style, it is the title selection which leads the release off and only furthers that narrative. Tight kick drums and neatly manicured percussion provide a DJ friendly intro, as rippling bass tones and airy pads add depth and character. Cruising effortlessly across the first act, it's a panoramic arp which eventually steals the air, flowing through tasteful modulation while pushing energy into the main break. The duo's elusive vision shines across the interlude, as they maintain a perfect balance of emotive musicality with a tasteful sense of space, a contrast which an astute dancefloor will appreciate, before smoothly shifting gears into a kaleidoscopic finale. Selection two 'Mindbender' finds Bemannte & Bruder showcasing a more adventurous side of their repertoire. Once again created with pristine production quality, it's a free-flowing exchange of punchy grooves, percolating arps and clustered synth mutations which provide a sturdy backbone. The main break proves to be the highlight however, elevating mood through further modulation and astral artifacts, all while maintaining an underlying sense of flow for a wonderfully warped conclusion. Rounding out the three originals are the alluring qualities of 'Bigger Than Us', a track where the duo aims squarely at a melodic dancefloor. Bemannte & Bruder craft an aesthetic that is hopeful, groovy and undeniably musical, one that balances a loud-soft dynamic perfectly. Following a driving first act, it's an amalgamation of billowed piano's and holographic synths which co-ax beautifully across the break, before reverent textures meet explosive beats and swing heavy basslines for a retro-radiant finale.

Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of ‘Summer Nights' is Antrim. In what has been a storied career, Antrim has been prolific across the first three quarters of 2024. The Hernan Cattaneo supported ‘La Fin Du Monde' and ‘Meeting Point' would get the year underway in style, a release which found the Cordoba resident returning to Clubsonica, where he carries a long creative partnership. Now, Antrim returns to Clubsonica with an emotive take on ‘Summer Nights'. The Cordoba resident shows a deft hand and a strong sense of personality, as warm kick drums and fluid rhythms become smudged by sweeping sonics and emerging melodies. A light and airy first act, one which sets up a break of rolling pianos and wistful sonics, to carry out what is sure to be a rejuvenating dancefloor experience.

The release concludes with Gux Jimenez with the lone interpretation of ‘Bigger Than Us'. Hailing from Colombia, Gux Jimenez has been a fixture of his country's electronic music movement for over a decade. Best known for his emotive take on the progressive genre, he has showcased his music via trendsetting landing spots such as Mango Alley,, UV and his own OzLand imprint, while earning support from world class DJs Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren. Now, Gux returns to Clubsonica with a creative rendition of ‘Bigger Than Us'. Opting for a techier and more stripped down take on the track, Gux further fragments the main motifs over a bed of tough beats, timely vocal samples and metallic melodies, for a less musically dominant, yet equally engaging version that's perfect for the more daring dancefloors out there.
