Roger Martinez's Higher States opens the new year by welcoming Ra Duh to the label for his debut EP. Best known for his The Real Experience artist moniker, Romanian artist Ra Duh has been a fixture of the progressive house underground for over a decade. Releases via Aboriginal, Balkan Connection and Laika Sounds sit as discography highlights, showcasing a dark groovy sound favoured by a wide assortment of genre tastemakers. Also a highly regarded DJ, Ra Duh has played an active role in his country's nightlife, programming music for some of Romania's trendiest events and venues, most notably Pârtia Cârlibaba, RoBurn and Untold Festival, amongst others. With the final Real Xperience release coming in 2022, the Romanian artist has spent the last two years retooling his sound for the launch of his Ra Duh alias. Now, as 2025 begins to take shape, he embarks on this new production journey, notching the moniker's debut 'Sigma / Ganymede' via Higher States.

Lead track ‘Sigma' finds Ra Duh collaborating with fellow countryman Hadrian aka Audio State. The Cluj Napoca resident has achieved measurable success under his Audio State alias, with a superlative string of releases featuring a club-effective approach to modern techno music. Pan Pot's Second State and Mistress Barbara's Terminal M have been landing spots for Audio State's premiere projects, in turn earning praise from the underground's elite guard. Now debuting his new artist moniker Hadrian, he teams up with Ra Duh on ‘Sigma'. Full of darker monochromes, the duo's creative synergy shines across this deep chuggy cut, one complete with tension filled builds, swing-heavy rhythms and a devilish effects narrative which pushes the journey to the very edges. Vibrant chord stabs provide an enduring main theme leading into the break, tactfully percolating as the interlude evolves, before melting down to a finale of looping hypnotism.

The release concludes with ‘Ganymede' which finds Ru Duh operating in solo capacity. The Romanian expounds his progressive vision here, with spacious rhythms and wispy sonics blanketing tough kick drums and chunky basslines. Clever percussive co-actions marry squelchy stabs and orbiting effects, while an inventive break highlighted by mediterranean motifs and an understated build preludes a finale of charming overlays and carefully controlled sonic manipulations.

Ganymede [HIGHER STATES]

AMAARE, the new alter ego of MONOJOKE @monojoke , debuts on Univack with the EP "Paradoxo / Coda / Driftified", a trio of tracks that redefines contemporary Progressive House through an intimate and emotional lens, without ever losing touch with the rhythmic pulse of the dancefloor.

Monojoke has been a consistent figure in the European underground scene for almost two decades. Now, under the alias Amaare, he presents a more intricate, refined, and timeless sonic narrative.

This EP immerses us in constantly evolving soundscapes: dynamic atmospheres and textures, expansive pads, energetic basslines, and precise percussion unfold gracefully throughout each track. "Paradoxo" confronts internal tensions, "Coda" celebrates closure with a luminous aura, and "Driftified" invites you to surrender and drift away. An essential release for those who seek depth, emotion, and sophistication in their musical selections. Once again, Univack reaffirms its commitment to artistic authenticity.

Taylan @musicbytaylan returns to Univack to showcase his versatility and sensitivity in crafting melodic and progressive music with Orbis Unum, an EP composed of three original tracks plus a remix by Ruben Karapetyan @ruben-karapetyan .

The title track Orbis Unum opens the journey with a restrained yet immersive energy, marked by atmospheric synths and a slow but steady melodic progression. Melting Walls follows with a more emotional tone, blending harmonic layers with a solid groove, enriched by subtle organic and tribal elements. Ruben Karapetyan’s remix of the same track delivers a more intense and energetic version, striking a perfect balance between synthetic and organic sounds, and enhancing the mystical and ancestral character of the original. The EP closes with Witchcraft, a track that incorporates Afro House elements, standing out through its piano chords, tribal vocals, and ritualistic rhythms.
