We're really happy to announce our new "Dark Rework" series, in which artists put their own darker interpretation on classic tracks.

Nash T - Orca which was released back in the day on EQ [Grey] Recordings was a staple track in any DJs record box that enjoyed dark grooves.  

After reaching out to Nash for some new material for Zero Tolerance (as fate would happen) another young producer in our direct ZT family from Argentina - Diego Moreira, got his hands on the record and has given it a modern interpretation.  It's deep, it's dark its tribal, a fantastic creative exploration in subtle and cerebral soundscapes.  

A huge thank you to Tom Pandzic head honcho at @balanceseries for approving and allowing Zero Tolerance to release this Dark rework.

Hitting the heights once more on their Meanwhile imprint, GMJ & Matter turn to the iconic figure of Navar for the label’s 38th release as he delivers his 3-track “Return of the Sun”.

A dazzling career that spans over a decade and a double century of releases, Navar has seen his music featured on the likes of Guy J’s Lost & Found, Cid Inc’s Replug and Eelke Kleijn’s Outside The Box Music.

Now returning to Meanwhile after his remix of Alex O’Rion’s “The Chase” in February 2022, the “Return of the Sun” title track is a compelling blend of rhythmic dynamism and trademark melodic prowess. Building over the course of its coruscating 9-minute voyage, elegant and flowing melodies drift atop a deep kick and shimmering hi-hats. Redolent in cascading delays, blissful warmth radiates through the sonic layers that pause briefly for breath at the two-thirds point, before picking up the pace in the latter stages in a work where new motifs enter the aural collage.

Opening with atmospheric pads and rippling effects, “Trips” slowly hits is stride with heavy beat and clicking percussive groove. A subtle and intelligent offering, delicate melodies play across the mid-range in syncopated delays while a seismic legato bassline pitches its way in lockstep with the rhythmic foundation. The result is a shimmering beauty that unexpectedly draws to a dramatic and vibrant conclusion with a new 16th note bassline groove in the final movement.

The aptly titled “Luminescence” concludes the triptych with a huge bassline groove and velvety synth line that scuds across the sonic landscape in stereo-panned glory. Stratified layers of sound make their play as twinkling keys and counterpoint motifs rise and fall in a beautifully woven tapestry. The result is the perfect juxtaposition of low-end vibrancy and majestic melodic touch that is a hallmark of the Navar production sound.

A renowned artist who has always shone brightly in the electronic music firmament, Navar glows incandescent with “Return of the Sun”.

'Echosphere' is the new three-original-track EP by the artist David Hammond known by his stage name SOLIS [US] @solis , in his first release on Univack. Besides, the EP is completed with a remix by the great artists HERNAN CATTANEO @hernancattaneo & SIMPLY CITY @simply_city_music

David Hammond, known by his stage name Solis [US], is a Madison, Wisconsin-based DJ & producer specializing in Deep Progressive House. His sound often carries an uplifting melodic quality, shaped by his early musical journey as a bassist at age 15, later transitioning into jazz and lead guitar. However, David eventually discovered his true passion in electronic music.

Solis [US] aims to offer listeners a more sophisticated and emotionally nuanced experience, moving beyond the typical hands-in-the-air anthems or dark, minor-key moods common in dance music. He strives for a slightly melancholic yet thoughtful vibe that ultimately leaves listeners feeling uplifted. His goal is to create tracks that are just as enjoyable in personal moments—whether driving or socializing—as they are on the dancefloor.

Tracks like “Echosphere” and “Electricolor” were inspired by his reflective sunset walks along Madison’s Lakeshore Path, while “Asiya” was crafted specifically with the dancefloor in mind, bringing a fun yet musically distinct energy.

The EP is completed by the awesome remix from the most representative DJ in the worldwide Progressive House scene for the last two decades, el maestro Hernan Cattaneo, in collaboration with the also experienced DJ & producer Simply City. This remix is the third release of both artists on Univack, and another evidence of their perfect symbiosis when they make music together.

Solis [US] - Asiya (Extended Mix) [Univack]

A welcome returnee to the Proton Music fold, Savvas Karabinos, has been a regular on the flagship label since a 2019 debut remixing Turkish star, Erdi Irmak. Two further remixes for Rick Pier O'Neil followed in 2020 and 2021 before a debut original EP appeared in the shape of February 2022's 3-track "Reminisce" including remixes from RIGOONI and Vridian. A second EP followed a year later with "Crescent Moon" as another trio of powerful original tracks were paired with remixes from Juan Deminicis and Andrea Cassino.

Now returning with another musical triptych, "Craving Spaces" is redolent in the rich sonic landscapes of textured pads and dreamy melodic passages. Underpinned by a heavy beat and huge sub-bassline, haunting motifs sit atop creating an air of elegant juxtaposition against the hypnotic rhythm. As the seasons shift from late summer to another Northern Hemisphere autumn, "Falling Leaves" enthrals with its subtle melancholy of light melodic touches following the narrative of its predecessor. Immaculately cadenced synths are used to develop a swathe of cascading musical ideas while textured pads create a vivid sonic landscape. A driving beat and ticking percussive hi-hats add to the picture in another moment of rare beauty. The final track sees "We Are" immediately carry on the mantle of driving rhythmic force combined with perfectly placed deep house chords and floating chord progressions that swim across the stereo spectrum. The delayed vocal effects and vibrant arpeggio of a post-breakdown second half creates a dynamic and powerful track.

An Australian artist with an impressive reputation within the underground dance fraternity, Patrick Carrera has been at the vanguard of progressive, organic and deep house sounds for over a decade. Through his MUUI moniker, over 500 production credits thus chart a path across such esteemed imprints as Sudbeat Music, Global Underground and Eelke Klein's Outside The Box, plus a further 300 credits on his own Here Now. A trio of remixes for Proton Music dating back to 2014 and a reworking of Kobana, have seen subsequent rerubs of Imran Khan and Mark Slee in 2019 and 2020 as MUUI returns for the first time in over 4 years. Reimagining "Falling Leaves", MUUI's skill is create a silky-smooth version that retains the laid-back melodic groove of the original while creating a rhythmic foundation that retreats elegantly into the mix in the early phases, while a deep and resonant kick drives the track forwards. Making full use of Savvas' original components a raft of additional production evolves in the second half including a sumptuous twinkling arpeggio and vocal touches, creating a triumphant remix.

Based in the capital of the Ontario province, Beije have carved out an impressive niche from their Toronto home. Able to point to a double century of production credits on the likes of Harabe, Café De Anatolia and The Purr, a pair of Proton Music remixes for Juan Deminicis and Lisandro in 2022, paved the way for 2024's remarkable "Ardere" EP in August 2024". The 3-track original EP was chock-full of masterful production technique and trademark melodic touch, showcasing the Canadian pair's inimitable style and craft. Now returning for a third remix, Beije have captured a delicate dancefloor groove with the muted and cadenced chords that fill the melodic spaces of the original. Moreover, the addition of diaphanous and free-flowing piano phrasing at the mind-point and through the third movement adds a subtle and delicate touch to proceedings, completed further by subtle vocal effects. The result is another stunning Beije production.

With the addition of immaculate remixes from MUUI and Beije, Savvas has found that "Craving Spaces" is the perfect way to showcase a trio of exceptional new original works.

'Following the success of his "One Side of the Underground" series, Rick Pier O'Neil now presents Vol. 3 with new original tracks plus remixes from UK and Argentinean industry icons.

An artist with a 24-carat reputation within the underground dance industry, Rick Pier O'Neil follows on from where he left off in "Vol. 2". "Travel Meet" sees a collaboration with French artist Sonov as a ticking percussive groove and grooved bassline build alongside a hypnotic arpeggio. Evolving elegantly, white-noise swirls and granular pads add to the sonic architecture alongside new melodic motifs in the second half. "Manipulation" sees O'Neil join forces with Ukrainian artist Serge Landar in a mesmerising work that revels in sustained bassline prowess. A shaker-fuelled percussive framework supplies dancefloor character and a rich array of counterpoint melodies play off each other as arpeggios and pads combine in complex stratified layers. The third original offering is a solo affair that finds O'Neil showcasing his production skills through "Fair Trade". A glorious rhythmic and bass groove provides energy throughout as trademark textured pads and white-noise swirls ripple back and forth across the stereo soundstage. Delayed analogue motifs make an appearance at the breakdown that bridges the darker bass and percussion-oriented movements either side. The result is another classy piece.

There are few more iconic names in the underground dance industry than, Nick Muir. As one half of the Bedrock duo with John Digweed and a double century of appearances on the latter's Bedrock imprint, Muir is as relevant today as he was during his legendary work in the late 90s. Also finding his name allied to the likes of Vapour Recordings, Perspectives Digital and Watergate, Muir's DJ career has seen him perform across the globe on a regular basis. Making his Proton Music debut, the Nick Muir remix of "Tribute" is a gloriously dynamic affair that takes the central bassline of the original and transforms takes it on storming journey alongside a glorious array of arps, beautifully textured pads and rich melodic motifs. The addition of a club-friendly beat and groove-laden percussion is sure to fill dancefloors the world over.

An established producer and DJ in his own right, Nicolas Rada's work for the Balkan Connection family of labels is second to none. Moreover, recent collaborative work with UK star, Nick Warren, has seen Rada hit the musical spotlight time and time again with a plethora of incredible work, not least on Warren's The Soundgarden imprint. A pair of remixes for Proton Music has shone a bright light on GMJ and Matter and Andre Sobota as Nicolas Rada returns for a third outing taking on "System" with typical aplomb. A trademark rolling groove forms the basis for freeform melodic phrasing to flow across the 9-minute rework as familiar refrains from O'Neil's original resonate throughout in intelligent fashion. Using an array of additional material and immaculate technique thus find Rada at the top of his production game.

A trio of new tracks and stunning remixes from Nick Muir and Nicolas Rada find Rick Pier O'Neil very much in the foreground.'
