With previous releases on the likes of Nervous and Street Tracks, Melbourne's Jwalker is fast becoming a very dependable name for house thumpers. Returning to local label Refuge Recordings, he serves up another two weapons. 'Bad News' fuses juggernaut bass with classic '90s house beats, ravey stab samples and Detroit flavoured strings to make for one serious workout, while 'What U Put Me Through' takes an almost dub-style approach to its undulating low end and tense organ notes, veering towards the UKG side of things with cheeky spinbacks and sorrowful, soulful vocal samples.

PREMIERE : Jwalker - Bad News

Artist: Various Artists 
Title: Haŵs Party Vol. 4 
Label: Haŵs 
Cat No: HAWS026
Format: 12” Vinyl


Tracklist: 

A1. Adam Pits - Swings & Roundabouts
A2. Maara - You’re So Delicious
B1. Guy Contact - Initiate Sequence
B2. Solar Suite - Greens Pool


The next phase of Cardiff-based label Haŵs’ metamorphosis emerges via four proggy, psychedelic cuts on their latest V/A offering, with three previous alumni making their returns and newcomer Maara landing her debut appearance on the imprint.

Kicking off the A-side is Adam Pits with the flickering ‘Swings & Roundabouts’, an opener akin to rolling headfirst down a rabbit hole and somehow finding yourself sailing above the clouds. Maara adds another dimension to the trip with ‘You’re So Delicious’, dimming the lights with dreamy synth-lines amidst brilliantly flashing melodies.

On the B-side, Guy Contact steps up to the wheel with ‘Initiate Sequence’ - an oozing, toe-tapping track that settles into romantic, purring manipulations and surrealist loops. Solar Suite rounds up the synaesthesia with ‘Greens Pool’, sliding through an internal soundscape of tension and release owed to the spectral guidance of horns, flutes, piano chords, against a soothing, steadfast bassline.

Close your eyes and step inside: the only journey is the one within.

PREMIERE – Revivis – Pick Me Up (Semi Delicious)

exclusive | Cosmic G - Infinite Balance | E&X Records

Igor Radošević, known by his artist moniker Cosmic G, has recently joined the esteemed E&X Records roster, launching into 2024 with his captivating "Human Spirit EP." The Serbian DJ and producer has seen a meteoric rise over the past year, releasing a series of acclaimed records on notable labels such as Haws, Goddezz, and Neptune Discs. This momentum has cemented his reputation in the progressive house and trance scenes. The EP features two original tracks, each accompanied by energetic remixes from French talent Clint. Among these offerings, the B1 track, "Infinite Balance," stands out as a particularly atmospheric and dynamic composition.

"Infinite Balance" opens with a deep, resonant synth-line that sets a contemplative mood, immediately drawing listeners into its atmospheric depth. This foundation is soon enriched by a robust bassline that adds a sense of progression and drive. The track's early moments are characterized by a careful layering of sound, building a lush, immersive soundscape that hints at the journey ahead.

As "Infinite Balance" unfolds, it pays homage to the 90s era of progressive house with subtle nods that evoke a sense of nostalgia while maintaining a contemporary edge. The track seamlessly integrates these retro influences, blending them with modern production techniques to create a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

Midway through, the track takes an intriguing turn with a trancy intermezzo, breaking up the main rhythm and introducing a lighter, more ethereal element. This passage showcases Cosmic G's deft touch in balancing different genres and moods within a single track, maintaining a cohesive narrative while keeping the listener engaged.

The production quality of "Infinite Balance" is top-notch, with each element meticulously crafted and perfectly placed within the mix. The deep synths, driving bassline, and trancy interludes all come together to create a track that is rich in texture and emotion. Clint's remix adds an extra layer of raw energy, enhancing the track's dancefloor appeal and making it a versatile addition to any DJ's set.

Cosmic G's "Infinite Balance" is a standout track from the "Human Spirit EP," encapsulating the essence of progressive house and trance with its atmospheric depth, nods to 90s influences, and dynamic structure. The track not only showcases Cosmic G's talent as a producer but also his ability to blend different styles into a cohesive and compelling musical narrative. This release marks a promising start to 2024 for both Cosmic G and E&X Records, highlighting their continued influence in the electronic music scene.
