A continuing "Augmented" reality reveals a different perception of Mango Alley. Breaking boundaries, established and contemporary talent converges in a single vision across the digital spectrum. A cornucopia of new music, unreleased jewels and undiscovered gems glisten under the auspices of renowned artistic talent; mixed and unmixed versions deliver a unique listening experience.

From north-east Argentina, Ric Niels reveals the sound of the world from his Chaco home where nature reserves teem with wondrous wildlife. Driving home, a musical passion blossoms across global borders where brave decisions create a powerful voyage of sonic discovery. Tales from the future echo through a narrative that shimmers across the underground dance music landscape, from Buenos Aries to Cordoba, progressive and deep house flow into the otherworld of melodic techno. Fully augmented, hardened onyx rhythms form in stratified layers across an aural work of art.

'Argentinian producer Ric Niels makes his debut on Hicky & Kalo's label Plaisirs Sonores Records with his beautiful track 'Walking In The Woods'. The song is a mix of ethereal synths, groovy bassline and tasty drums. The glorious vocals of Hydrah add a sumptuous aura to the music.

First on remix duty, we found Dmitry Molosh. The Belarusian DJ and producer is famous for his inimitable progressive sound and excellent taste in music. Dmitry represents his country far beyond its borders as one of the most forward-thinking electronic music artists in the world. Here, he created a huge progressive piece filled with trancy melodies and one of the most epic drop we heard in a long time.

Also rising out of Argentina's electronic underground are the elusive duo Analog Jungs. Made up of Claudio Cornejo and Gustavo Ruarte, Analog Jungs was born out of a love for rhythm, groove and melody. The duo is back on the label after their successful release of 'Landscape' with Oliver & Tom last year.

To close out the package, there's an instrumental version of 'Walking In The Woods' for the DJs uneasy with vocals.

Hicky & Kalo say: 'Super happy to welcome Ric Niels on our label. We are fan of his music, we played many of his tracks over the last few years. Same thing for Dmitry Molosh, he is currently the best progressive house producer no doubt. Such an honour to welcome him on the Plaisirs Sonores family.'

A Particles debutant, Chris Cargo has been an influential figure in underground house for over two decades. Over 250 production credits are testament to this longevity with the UK artist seeing his music feature on the likes of Paul Thomas' UV, D-Formation's Beat Boutique and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, with a further half-century on his own If You Wait imprint. Now debuting on Particles, "Wide Eyed" is a low-slung groover that develops with easy rhythmic poise before subtle melodic overtones filter into sonic range. Luscious pads and grooved bassline add to the aural collage before a breakdown introduces a swathe of new elements that fizz to a rousing white-noise crescendo before dropping back into the gently pulsating rhythm of earlier movements. The result is a smooth and immaculate offering from the Chris Cargo studio.

Chris Domingo is another longstanding artist within the underground dance fraternity. Finding success in both solo guise and with former production partner, Mariner, the US artist has seen his music feature on a host of leading labels that include Songuara, 3rd Avenue and Stellar Fountain, while work for Particles included 2021's "Azimuth" and "Lose Control" EPs, before May 2022 saw the debut of his Domingo + moniker in collaboration with Eric Lune and "Sentimental Fool". Now returning to the label, the Domingo+ remix sees an intricate percussive top-line based on elements from "Wide Eyed" shine before a familiar bassline cadence also makes its presence felt. Introducing a new syncopated synth line adds depth and intensity to proceedings before the second half reveals a glorious and meandering synth line that provides a touch of class and emotion to the original.

Subandrio needs no introduction to the particles faithful. A renowned figure across his Sri Lankan home and far beyond its borders, his unmistakable production work has lit up a plethora of labels including Mango Alley, Perspectives Digital and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. A regular on both Proton labels, a quintet of remixes has seen him rework the likes of Andre Sobota, Juan Deminicis, Trilucid and Matter since a December 2015 Particles debut. Now returning to the label for the first time in 5 years, the Subandrio remix is a typically sumptuous affair with powerful rolling groove melded with the textured pads and melodic bed of Chris Cargo's original. Full of vibrancy and atmosphere at the breakdown, a superbly cadenced motif and rippling stepped arpeggio combine to create a memorable interpretation.

Including remixes from Subandrio and Domingo +, Chris Cargo is "Wide Eyed" with musical delight.

Welcoming a new collaborative pairing to Meanwhile Horizons, Jiminy Hop & Dofamine join forces for a debut EP in the shape of “Veresk / Yoke”.

An established figure within the underground dance fraternity, Konstantin Kuranakov continues to strengthen his reputation through the Jiminy Hop moniker. An accomplished DJ with production credentials to rival any, his music has been a fixture on such esteemed imprints as Plaisirs Sonores, Colorize and Juicebox Music. A pair of original EPs have followed on GMJ & Matter’s flagship imprint as March 2022’s “Johlin” and September’s “Levera / Agmoli” hit Meanwhile. A similarly impressive artist, Dofamine can boast almost a double century of production credits to his name dating back to a Stripped Digital debut in mid-2014. Since then, releases for Clinique Recordings, Bonzai Progressive, Suffused Music and Stellar Fountain have lit up the progressive house scene. Although remixing Jiminy Hop for Just Movement and Shambhala Music in 2016 and 2017, the duo now join forces for the first time to create a magical twin-track EP.

“Veresk” quickly establishes itself with potent percussive foundation and fizzing shaker pattern. Textured pads and free-flowing melodic lines create the sensation of warm dappled sunlight as they gradually build into longer sequences and coruscating patterns. Pausing for breath at a stripped back breakdown, white-noise swirls and rich sonic layers emerge unencumbered before the track hits its stride one more in the second half with a deep rolling groove and a new light synth motif.

A cavernous sub-bass and metronomic beat characterise the opening stages of “Yoke” as a pulsating white-noise backdrop sits perfectly against a shimmering arpeggio. Evolving easily, an emotive key change adds subtle dynamism as new melodic elements are introduced, not least through a beautiful piano sequence that extends into a sublime and atmospheric break. Gradually building once more with vibrant dance-friendly rhythm and subterranean bass, “Yoke” enters its third movement with a cast of complementary synth lines and smooth rising energy. The result is a powerful and impressive track full of poise and craft.

Showing rare talent and immaculate production skill, Jiminy Hop & Dofamine have come together to create a seamless partnership with “Veresk /Yoke”.
