‘20-3

Releases

'Presenting their first release of the year, EDGE welcomes Eric Lune and Juan Sapia to the label for their debut EP. Hailing from Australia, Eric Lune emerged from his country's progressive music landscape in 2018. Noted for his emotional dance floor productions, Eric's craft shines through vividly, making each one of his creations an incredibly absorbing experience. A debut on Sound Avenue foreshadowed what has been a four-year creative swell for the Melbourne resident. A string of well-received projects for Balance Music, Plattenbank, Proton Music and Sound Avenue have yielded play and support from Guy Mantzur, Eelke Kleijn and Nick Warren. Meanwhile, hailing from the progressive house hotbed of Argentina, Juan Sapia has enjoyed a similar rise to success since first emerging in 2017. As a favourite of progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Buenos Aires resident has compiled an impressive resume, landing releases via Mango Alley, Or Two Strangers, Sudbeat Music and The Soundgarden. Now, combining their extensive forces for the first time, Eric and Juan debut on EDGE with ‘Diamonds’, alongside a remix from Eran Aviner & Hermanez. 

EP opener and title selection ‘Diamonds’ finds that perfect balance between rhythm and musicality, as Eric and Juan let hopeful atmospheres descend over warm beats and layers of dusty drums. Thematically distinct moving forward, soulful strums and scenic vocal edits ring out in timeless suspension, elevating mood while providing a bridge into the main break. Sure to be a memorable dance floor moment, percussive slowly melts away across the centrepiece, as melodic clusters emerge and each sound becomes an event in a slowly expanding landscape, zooming out to reveal a world of scale in which depth and contrast coax perfectly with colour and emotion. The inevitable zenith of this heartwarming narrative peaks with a rare combination of hope, heartache and reflection, ultimately setting the course for a groovy drop and tasteful finale. Meanwhile, the companion piece ‘Himalaya’ lands with an equally impressive display of craftsmanship, as Eric and Juan reaffirm their progressive prowess, planting multiple explosions of serotonin through transcendent melodies, vocal overlays and glassy motifs. Clever musical co-actions make for a break that is both poignant and otherworldly, flowing through wavy arps and emotive key changes, before confidently returning to the groove for a sweeping, acid-laced finale. '

Clubsonica Records opens the summer season by welcoming Juan Sapia back to the label for a new EP. Hailing from the progressive house hotbed of Argentina, Juan Sapia has enjoyed a steady rise since first emerging in 2017. As a favourite of progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Buenos Aires resident has compiled an impressive resume, landing releases on top tier imprints such as EDGE, Mango Alley, Or Two Strangers, Sudbeat Music, and The Soundgarden. Now, following an EP for Argentina's pad records to begin the year, Juan makes a welcome return to the label with 'Aura | Forest Song', alongside remixes from Paul Deep and Leo Guerrero. 

As the progressive grooves and swaying rhythms of opener ‘Aura' unfold, it's clear that Juan's craft must be taken to heart. Renowned for his trance-inspired melodies, the Buenos Aires resident opts for a deeper approach here, working placid pads over dulcet grooves and dusty percussive arrangements. Building patiently across the first movement, its creamy tones and heartfelt harmonies marry beautifully during a transcendent break, before layers of wind-swept sonics cue a gorgeous drop and glowing finale. Beneath the calming waves of ‘Aura' lies a tastefully melodic production entitled ‘Forest Song'. Evoking a confident club energy from the start, Juan's colourful sonics, emotionally resonant hooks and nostalgic melodies blanket a tight yet groovy framework. With an infectious energy that could win over even the most discerning of fans, it's a journey that becomes unabashedly epic at its peak, as melodies unite in a whirlpool of textural bliss, making for a sure fire dance floor weapon.

Returning to the label for the lone interpretation of ‘Aura' is Paul Deep. With a career that spans the better part of a decade, the Argentinean artist has compiled an impressive resume along the way, landing releases via All Day I Dream, Tale & Tone, The Soundgarden and Sudbeat. World class DJs Lee Burridge, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren have all been steadfast supporters of Paul's sound. With his year being highlighted by an EP for Dmitry Molosh's Proportion imprint, Paul now makes a welcome return to Clubsonica with a stellar rendition of ‘Aura'. Focusing on a slightly darker monochrome, the Buenos Aires resident goes deep and techy for what results in a heady nine-minute journey. Rebounding rhythms and deep chugging basslines set the course for snatches of flickering percussion and growling stabs. Looking to bring a greater emotional response, the main break shifts the narrative through heartfelt chord changes and trance-inducing melodies, before a wave of white noise perfectly sets up a stripped back drop and meditative finale. 

The release concludes with Leo Guerrero making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Forest Song'. Hailing from Colombia, new  inspirations led Leo to progressive music where he restarted his production journey under his own name, while finding a home on Antrim's Strangers Beats and D-Nox's Sprout. Continuing on this explorative path, the Medellin resident now adds Clubsonica to his resume with a powerful take on ‘Forest Song'. Beginning with a buoyant kick and galloping groove, the Colombian artist channels the melodic energy of the original through panoramic synths and percolating arps, before a deconstructed take on the main musical theme emerges across the break, perfectly setting up a thrilling peak-time finale. A gorgeous interpretation from Leo, which rounds out a must have return to Clubsonica for Juan Sapia, an artist who continues to stand out in Argentina's progressive house landscape.

just shared a new unreleased track 'Chant' with my Patreon community: www.patreon.com/atishmusic - Patreon is a platform, where you can directly support my work and get access to exclusive mixes, unreleased production and much more.

I'm always trying to keep an ear out for sounds and vibes that are outside my domain, so I had a phase where I got into choral and chant music. At the same time, I was trying to push my production sound a bit by exploring more driving club-oriented sounds, so this was the culmination of both my interests. 

Hope you enjoy and thanks for your support!

Accurately accompanied by a sustained rythm, epic guitar riffs and marvellous vocals. A  serenade called 'Elephas', inspired by a wonderful spanish romance. 

Reworked by Luca Musto and Xique-Xique with two mythic versions. 
Sending love.

Across the Arabian Sea and South Atlantic Ocean, Hasith and Juan Sapia join together in "Our Heart of Ruin". A voyage of discovery, progressive in every sense where alley debutants showcase silky smooth, melodic interplay through emotive passages and dramatic denouement. A rapidly rising star shines out of South America where Kamilo Sanclemente and Mauro Aguirre continue an extraordinary trajectory to success that rises apace. Carefully considered phrasing and eloquent choices find new melodic patterns emerging from "Our Heart of Ruin" where a modern musical soul bares all.

Out of middle England, a dance icon is reinvented in full Bluum. A return to Mango Alley is redolent in a shimmering array of spine-tingling melodies that permeate the rhythmic force while a powerful bassline energises through raw intensity. From the garden of sound via Colombo, Noiyse Project write a new Mango Alley chapter. Familiar sonic echoes writ large in visceral detail as familiar melodies ripple delicately across intricate percussive frame, the beating heart of an exhilarating new story.
