Heartik makes his debut kick on Agile with an excellent EP plus a great remix by the label boss Uto Karem. &#8216;Sailors&#8217; kicks of the EP and is purely devastating, starting with solid beats that lead into a nice break where the main riffs taking control. Next is the remix by Uto Karem and this one is peak time stuff. The main riff joining looped melodic tones and funky overtones that come later makes this, big room track here. Closing this EP is &#8216;Neck Lock&#8217;, gritty basslines build the track nicely towards to some funky melodies and riffs. A perfect release from Agile that shows they still know what it takes to pick out big tunes and a great way from Heartik to introduce himself to the label&#8217;s fans.

Fabian Argomedo makes his debut on Agile with some hip-shaking grooves and bounce galore. &#8220;Breaking Bass&#8221; boasts a crackling rhythm section complete with skipping hi-hats that never let up. Vocal snippets add the necessary high end touch while a sneaky piano loop makes its appearance subtly, and a warped crooner takes center stage and dominates the rest of the track. Label boss Uto Karem strips a few things away but adds extra percussion while keeping the affair in looped mode. The rubber-band bass makes sure no momentum is lost, and his version makes heavy use of the piano before leading us into an apocalyptic, Uto Karem-styled breakdown.

Pride Saraceni is known for his monstrous grooves, so this EP is definitely aptly titled, with the homonymous track boasting a hypnotic bassline running under the shuffling rhythm section, and persistent noise loops adding the momentum. A haunting vocal adds a touch of class and anticipation, while filtered chords are employed for that extra Techno edge. 
 On &#8220;Domino Effects&#8221; things take a dubbier turn, with spacious fx setting the cavernous tone, reinforced greatly by the pitched-down, spoken word vocal. Familiar sonar stabs keep the train rolling, and the snappy drums balance out the thick, tense atmosphere.

Our fourth Agility sampler is a reality and things are definitely strong with Paride Saraceni kicking things off with the tribal-infused &#8220;Balearic&#8221;. Hollen beefs things up and is up next with locomotive grooves and cavernous effects, while Yado Atiz is up next to switch things up and inject some house vibes with his rubber-band bass and subtle chords. Nino Bua dubs things out and offers some mangled vocal action, and Sunrose together with Riccardo Sabatini pull back the gears just a bit and add some classy, haunting melodies.

Tony Dee goes straight for the jugular on this one, with &#8220;Long Way&#8221; featuring a cavernous vibe supported by commanding stabs and a rocksteady rhythm section.&nbsp; Eerie chords add to the whole atmosphere and together with the mandatory spoken word section complete the dark ride. &#8220;Is Back&#8221; picks up straight from there and introduces sub-bass mania alongside the stomping drum kit. Pulsating its way through, the affair only lets up for the suspenseful breakdown before going back to mechanized warfare.

The fifth edition of our &#8220;Agility&#8221; various artist compilation has touched down and stands as a perfect representation of where our label stands today. Kicking off with the low-end goodness of &#8220;Sweet Bee&#8221; and the sly bassline of Ronan Portela and Stiv Heys&#8217; &#8220;Melted&#8221; this collection showcases the many faces of today&#8217;s Tech House and Techno. Tracks such as Devid Dega &amp; Pepellino&#8217;s &#8220;Eight Of May&#8221; sit perfectly alongside The Southern&#8217;s industrial-tinged &#8220;OneTwo&#8221;, while Victoria Engel&#8217;s subliminal &#8220;Carmen San Diego"and Vidaloca &amp; Piem&#8217;s &#8220;Aphrodite&#8221; bring warm, welcomed grooves to the table.

We welcome Eric Sneo to the Agile ranks, where once again he demonstrates his impeccable technique and unique versatility as a seasoned player. &#8220;The Kill&#8221; grinds its way through the door, with persistent percussion leading the way and samples mangled beyond recognition, as the rocksteady bassline glues everything together. We are treated to a cavernous vibe on &#8220;Come Into Being&#8221;, courtesy of the treated vocals, dominating, sonar-esque leads and of course, the distorting synths. Closing up with &#8220;Flames In Colour&#8221;, an anthemic riff sneaks up on us as the groove gives a nod to the tribal side of things and melancholic pads set the tone alongside the moody breakdown.

Florian Gasperini - Static Broozer 
Incl. Marko Nastic Remix

Florian Gasperini messes with our brains with his latest EP and the opener&#8217;s loopy sensibilities and indecipherable vocal serve as the perfect mood setting. Add loose percussion with warped effects, and the trip has started.

The one and only Marko Nastic dubs &#8220;Static&#8221; out and adds eerie synths and some seriously moody vibes that ooze class and finesse.

Closing up with the title track, Florian opts for a more jacking approach and goes all drum-heavy on us with no mercy whatsoever, while juicy sub bass holds the shuffling mayhem together.

Juan Ddd returns to Agile with his new techno EP ‘Kings’. Juan starts things off with ‘Kings’ which is a futuristic blend of techno bleeps. A pulsating melody mixed up perfectly with a gritty driving bassline. ‘El Bronx’ has the same techno feeling, a bouncy techno groove joining an array of elusive melodies on the foreground. The melody is then mixed with a heavy bassline that remains distorted while the varied of elements give to this track an epic feel. Closing this EP is ‘Queens’, with solid drums and plenty of haunting samples. This track holds a serious techno groove as it bounces over synths, though a lot of credit goes to the melody, which is contagious. A perfect EP and extreme care from Juan Ddd has been taken with this release. Quality stuff once more for Agile.
