Fran Garay - Devoto

Argentinean duo, Alto Astral, have risen quickly to prominence in recent times with their mature production sound and ethereal vocal arrangements. Already regulars on such esteemed imprints as MNL, Or Two Strangers and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, the Barcelona-based pair return with their own very special project in the shape of "Heartbeat Collective".

First conceived at Amsterdam Dance Event 2023 after discussions with the Proton Music team, Alto Astral have meticulously curated a compilation of the highest order featuring both Argentinean and Greek artists and a pair of original tracks from the duo themselves. The result is a spectacular extravaganza showcasing a quintet of modern progressive house music encapsulating a magical musical narrative. As Alto Astral's Martina expounds, "themes surrounding love, unity and empathy" are all present, but juxtaposed against the "powerful, strong and even slightly furious energy of the current world."

"I Am" is a beautiful opener that drifts easily through its combination of ethereal drone and smooth breakbeat rhythm. A cavernous sub-bassline adds depth aplenty while a wonderfully catchy vocal hook floats elegantly across the piece with vocal harmonies creating a majestic sense of open space and sublime emotion. "You & Us" continues the smooth melodic narrative while a chest-thumping 4/4 kick beats out a metronomic anchor. Pads and twinkling arpeggios create delicate melodic interplay as they rise and fall throughout, and a swirling breakdown introduces a loquacious vocal. The second half introduces a new rhythmic urgency and a huge bassline groove to proceedings with dynamic effect.

Label regular, Juan Deminicis, has thrilled Proton Music with a slew of original and remix material and it is an honour to see him represented on "Heartbeat Collective" with the typically mature and deeply flowing "Astral Odyssey". Replete with rhythmic poise and grace, thickly textured pads vie with a delayed arp and lead motif. A beautiful vocal harmony lilts easily as it echoes across the beatless mid-point before the pace is picked up once more in the second half where vocal layers and counterpoint melody join forces to close out the third movement.

Greek legend and long-time Proton Music friend, Simos Tagias, joins the collective party with "Missile". Redolent in typically impressive club-friendly credentials, a rolling, head-shaking groove swings across the 7-minute track with dynamic drive as immaculately cadenced synth notes add sonic intrigue and seething dancefloor vitality. Reaching a rousing crescendo where all melodic components join forces to a compelling zenith, "Missile" drops back to its delicious ever-present groove in the final stages.

Newcomer, Andrés Moris is the final beating heart of the Alto Astral collective as the Córdoba resident builds on success found for the likes of Sudbeat Music, Mango Alley and Juicebox Music. Contributing to the release courtesy of "Connected", Andrés' skill is to create a cone-melting bassline sequence that fills the low-end in imposing fashion. Shimmering synth lines then ripple atop, delicately swimming across the stereo spectrum with a hint of steel drum resonance. A garrulous spoken vocal phrase delivers a meditational air at the mid-point and into the third movement, while the melodic phrasing of earlier movements flow towards the track's conclusion in combination with the devastating bassline pattern.

Five pieces of masterful production from a quartet of progressive house's finest exponents see Alto Astral truly part of a life-affirming "Heartbeat Collective".

Juicebox Music's 77th release sees Maze 28 making his return to the label with his latest single - 'Cry of the Deserts.' The Albanian rising star first made his debut on Juicebox Music through 'Abyss Rhythm,' his contribution to the 2nd edition of our 'Fables' compilation.

The final remix comes from a collaboration between two label debutants - Molac & Nicolas Viana. The Ecuador-based artist Alan Gonzalez (aka Molac) & Argentinian-based artist Nicolas Viana, both a part of the Sendas Music Collective recently started working together. Individually, they've both seen incredible success whether it's Molac's music on Lee Burridge's 'All Day I Dream' or Nicolas Viana's music on Gorje Hewek's 'Peace Symphonies' or both on MODD's 'Amulanga' & MOS's 'Melody of the Soul'. Their organic-infused and progressive-inspired styles perfectly merged into one, as showcased via their remix of Maze 28's 'Cry of the Deserts.'

MEETING MOLLY Paranoia (Lavie Au Soleil & Oreiente Remix)

Continuing to add new talent to their roster, Clubsonica welcomes Togni to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Brazil, Togni first emerged as a producer in 2021 with a string of releases via TheWav Records. Noted for his melodic yet club-effective approach, the Lajeado resident was quickly tipped as a name to watch in the world of melodic house and techno. Subsequent projects for BCSA and Polyptych Limited would land over the next two calendar years, further solidifying Togni's place amongst Brazil's rising talents. 2023 would see Togni further his career, making his debut as a DJ and performing at some of Brazil's top events in Sunset Sessions, Trama and Infusion, in addition to an excellent debut in Colombia. With 2024 already yielding standout releases via Calisto and Mind Connector, Togni now adds Clubsonica to his resume with ‘Veda | You', alongside remixes from HAFT and Kebin Van Reeken. 

Selection one ‘Veda' sets the pace and lands with many of Togni's beloved production hallmarks. Tight kick drums and neatly manicured percussion provide a DJ friendly intro, as rhythmic pulses and fluttery melodic fragments add depth and space. Cruising smoothly across the first act, it's an array of wavy arps, creamy keys and dulcet chord stabs which make for an enduring theme, a vibe which is sure to cast an invigorating mood over the dance floor. The Brazilian's elusive vision shines during the main break, as he delivers a greater sense of tension through muted pianos, childlike vocal fragments and orbiting effects, a state of mind that astute fans will appreciate, before a striking build and buzzing drop sparks a strong key changing finale. The companion piece 'You' follows and showcases a more experimental side of Togni's repertoire. The Brazilian crafts a clever coax of tight triplet-style grooves, metallic synth mutations and drifting vocal phrases, for a vibe that is equal parts trippy and engaging. Tension and emotion are at a premium across the main break, with a darker monochrome making way for a calculated build and suitably uplifting finale. 

Making the lone interpretation of 'Veda' is HAFT. Hailing from Iran, Sam Nasehi and Amir Subb make up the HAFT production duo. 2024 has seen HAFT continue to prosper and choose their projects wisely, notching standout releases for Mango Alley, RKP and Warung Recordings. Now, continuing on that upwards trajectory, HAFT makes their Clubsonica debut with a groovy take on ‘Veda'. Landing with a resounding thump, HAFT finds success with a more robust, dancefloor minded approach. Shapely grooves and rolling percussion marry beautifully with flickering sonics and balmy atmospheres. Hopeful pads and trance inducing melodies take centrestage across the main break, bringing equal amounts of exhilaration and serenity, before clustered sonics and a wave of drums spark a groove-centric drop and swing heavy conclusion.

The release concludes with Kebin Van Reeken making the lone interpretation of ‘You'. Hailing from the Netherlands but now calling Argentina home, Kebin has made significant strides since emerging in 2019. With 2024 being highlighted by projects for Mango Alley, Univack and a standout remix for Mike Koglin and Moodfreak, Kebin now makes his Clubsonica debut with a thrilling take on ‘You'. Bringing a progressive state of mind, Kebin carefully balances the themes from the original with his own 4x4 club-effective fusion. Timely effects, percolating acid lines and hopeful atmospheres steal the air atop thunderous beats and pulsating grooves; while a break of emotive swells and deconstructed vocals seals what is the ultimate dance floor bomb to round out the release.
