Robert Babicz returns home to his excellent BABICZSTYLE imprint with five tasty treats for your ears and your feet. Here we find Robert integrating a lot of melodies, a stack of melancholic sounds and his beloved acid lines to beautiful effect, pushing his sound in a different direction, while still sounding like classic Babicz.

Starting proceedings we have 'Melancholy' that oozes with emotion, and subtleties, deep but warm, happy but sad, with a retro feel about it, yet as fresh a s daisy.

'Cats In Space' is an epic affair, it locks you in to its spell and undulates beautifully, as we are teased along gracefully through this voyage. Gently building and locking you in to its magical spell, this gem intensifies and is one of those magical tracks that sends crowds wild. Hints of yesteryear with its trance like nods, but brought back to date by Mr B.

'Far Away' is a deeper vibe, a little tougher, and out comes the 303, but in a restrained manor here, as this sound track style gem unfurls.

'Take A Walk At The Sugarside' is more restrained acid from Robert, adding melodies and warm, but with that underpinning grittiness.

And to close things off, the Acid Mix of 'Far Away'. The analog factor is take up a notch as we are treated to some 303 filthiness, yet shrouded in emotion.

Robert Babicz - Far Away

Spring Tube Limited' 91st release is an additional full single for the tracks from label's third sampler. Here we have the first ever for almost seven years of Spring Tube's existence single with remixes from its chief Slang together with his production partner Technodreamer.

The "Deepster" single by Slang & Technodreamer includes the original version which already gained the positive reactions from the likes of Da Funk, Allende, Soulfinder, and Fernando Ferreyra among others, as well as two high-quality remixes.

The first interpretation delivers one-and-only Namatjira who has remixed for us the progressive classic "Strawberry Fields" by the legend Subsky two years back (we already definitely can call this his remix as Spring Tube's classic), and also released with us two originals EPs and two singles, besides having releases on such a respectable imprints as Sudbeat, Hope, Lowbit, Crossfrontier, Perspectives, Temporum, Classound, Sound Avenue, The Last Of Us, and the most recent signings on the mighty AnjunaDeep and Armada. With another beautiful masterpiece remix work for this our single Namatjira once again proves his status as one of the melodic progressive house best producers around.

Whereas the second interpretation is by one of our brightest young talents - Ronfoller. Besides the releases on Stellar Fountain, Soundteller, Suffused, Crumled, and BQ, this promising producer was seen on our labels with the five memorable original tracks in a different compilations as well as one great remix work on Anthony Mea's "Talk To Me". At the moment we prepare Ronfoller's first single release with us which will see the light later this year but for now we highly recommend you his new remix work for this "Deepster" single.

Slang & Technodreamer - Deepster (Ronfoller Remix)

This new 'healing' music has become my science of life, I now call mantra-tech. When I first freed myself of limiting beliefs about what was possible, my mind expanded and I made this song. Inside it is a very important message for mankind.

Tracklist:
01. Michael A - Ciklus One (Ezequiel Arias Remix)

Release Info: 
The latest edition of our free download series finds Ezequiel Arias returning for his second appearance. Hailing from Cordoba, the Argentinean artist has grown into one of his country’s most prodigious progressive house talents. Upon making his debut in 2013, Ezequiel became a favourite of both Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Subsequent releases on Plattenbank, Replug, Sudbeat and The Soundgarden followed shortly thereafter and cemented the Argentine’s place amongst the progressive house elite. Ezequiel made his debut on our free download series with the well received ‘2AM’. Written in conjunction with fellow countryman and Sudbeat artists Interaxxis the track featured heavily in the sets of progressive house tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Guy Mantzur and Sahar Z. Now returning for his second appearance Ezequiel unveils his much sought after ‘Private’ remix of Michael A’s ‘Ciklus One’. Originally released on Proton, Ezequiel’s interpretation has been shrouded in mystery after being aired in Hernan’s sets for the better part of a year. Now after much demand the track is finally available as an exclusive free download. We hope you enjoy it.

Part of the "Fall Particles 2019", Julian Nates now returns with "Luminism", reprising the original track and adding the delightful, "Renaissance". Remixes come from UK and UAE stars.

From Cordoba, Julian Nates has forged a name for himself from his home in central Argentina. An accomplished pianist and violinist in early years, he reached a professional standard in drums after studying at the acclaimed music conservatory in his hometown. A switch to electronic music quickly saw success with over a century of production credits and releases on Balkan Connection, Soundteller and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden. Adding to the light melodic overtones of "Luminism", partner tack, "Renaissance" is full of the impressive musical sensibilities of the title track as off-beat shakers and intelligent clave percussion pave the way for a syncopated arpeggio to trip delicately across the mid-range. Building with ease, further arpeggiated sequences entwine and evolve as richly textured pads pulsate gently in waves before coming to the fore in a stripped-back breakdown. Hitting its stride, all elements combine once more in a sparkling second half to impressive effect.

A growing force since early production work for Clinique Recordings in late 2016 and early 2017, Imran Khan's career has continued to gather pace at an impressive rate. Through an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and developing his production technique, the UK artist's portfolio has continued to find him a sea of admirers with over 100 credits for the likes of MNL, Astrowave and Superordinate Music. The "Organik" and "Sunsweat" EPs were notable 2019 highlights for Proton Music, while "Arrival" was a Particles highlight in August 2018 including remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat and Hot TuneiK. Reworking the title track, the trademark percussive phrase of "Luminism" opens proceedings alongside an intricate groove carved by Imran Khan. New motifs shine through as Khan's production talent is in full evidence with a plethora of new production material that takes the essence of the original and takes it on a new sonic voyage of discovery. Over its 10-minute duration, layers of sound melt into the complex rhythmic structure to create another high-class sonic interpretation.

A renowned DJ across the Middle East, Ejaz Ahamed has found success with his support slots for Digweed, Cattaneo, Zabiela and a host of others. In tandem a production career has continued to showcase the Dubai resident's skill with a clutch of growing releases for the likes of Stellar Fountain, PHW Elements and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital. A pair of remixes for Jero Nougues and Sam Heyman saw an opening salvo for Particles in mid-2017 and 2018 and it is a pleasure to welcome the Indian born artist back for a third outing. Taking on "Renaissance", the Ejaz Ahamed remix revels in cascading bassline prowess that pays tribute to Nates' original with its intelligent use of central arpeggio that is transformed and developed in innovative new fashion alongside a chorus of new production work. Cast within a strong and dynamic new rhythmic framework, the resultant interpretation is an impressive affair.

New music from Julian Nates plus remixes from Imran Khan and Ejaz Ahamed paints "Luminism" with a bright new sonic palette.

Alkima (Remixes)

Abity - Alkima (Juan Sapia Remix) [3rd Avenue]

Reinvigorating their collaborative partnership Dmitry Molosh and Michael A return to Cid Inc's Replug Records with 'Integral'. Hailing from Belarus, both Dmitry and Michael sit amongst progressive music's elite guard. Their respective solo productions continue to earn play and support from the genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while also landing them releases on Hope Recordings and Sudbeat Music. Also calling Replug a comfortable home, Dmitry and Michael now return to the label with their first collaborative project in almost four years.

Much loved for their exploration of all things progressive and groovy, the Belarus duo exceeds expectations here, delivering two stunning pieces of music beginning with the title selection 'Integral'. Set in motion by a warm, chunky foundation, its robust core comes up quickly, with layers of finely tuned drums, crunchy rhythms and squelchy synths uniting in a fiery sonic comet. Shifting energy into the main break, heartfelt harmonics and fragmented melodies gently blanket the electric underbelly, resonating on a higher frequency as tasteful modulation rises and the groove drops for a chugging finale.

Operating on a similar sonic plane is the companion piece 'Twelve Days'. Otherworldly in nature, tough beats and dark stabs anchor the journey as the piece flows through a series of pulsating rhythms and mind-bending effects. Continuing on an unpredictable storyboard, ominous overlays and percussive flashes highlight the first act, perfectly setting up an icy break. Adding further intrigue, a wave of tranquil arps provide an effervescent foundation for the duo's dystopian soundscapes, before building to a granular sizzle as a rush of drums ignites a powerful crescendo. It caps off a hugely successful project from two of progressive music's most talented artists, further solidifying Replug's place at the top of this burgeoning genre.

Dmitry Molosh & Michael A - Twelve Days [Replug]

Available 25, May on https://soundcloud.com/genesis-music-official

During these hectic times, Genesis Music invites listeners to relax and “Slow Down." Its next release by the same name welcomes back label owner Michael A. Following a January single, he now presents different yet equally dynamic sounds. The Belarusian, again, earns support from the one and only Hernan Cattaneo. Anchored by punchy beats, the Original Mix glistens with astral melodies and spacious textures.

Slow Down

Premiere: Michael A - Slow Down [Genesis Music]

Continuing what has been a strong collaborative partnership, Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq return to Cid Inc's Replug Records for a new EP. Based in Cordoba, Ezequiel Arias sits firmly amongst progressive music's elite, with releases on Anjunadeep, Sudbeat and The Soundgarden highlighting his discography, along with support from the genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Similarly, Nacho Ferroni and Nacho Varela aka Artfaq also hail from Cordoba and lay claim to an impressive resume, showcasing their music on Sudbeat and The Soundgarden. Having made their collaborative debut with the 'Babel' EP via Replug in February of 2019, the trio now unite once again for a much-anticipated follow-up entitled 'Aerial'.  

As progressive music continues to evolve, it's artists like Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq who continue to push the genre's creative envelope. 'Aerial' is a prime example of this with its unique contrast of rhythm and musicality. A bed of warm, rippling bass lays the foundation for a blend of meditative motifs and creamy tones. Building subtly through an evolving sheet of granular haze and timely effects, its tranquil tension comes to full fruition during the main break, before perfectly segueing into a percussive drop and driving finale. 

The second selection 'Duality' moves closer to peak time with edgier design and dramatic undertones. Pulsating and energetic, it's a creation built around tough beats, acidic rhythms and razor-sharp effects. Its relentless drive becomes infectious across the first act, perfectly setting the stage for a shift in narrative, as striking overlays highlight a cavernous break, splitting moods between the tense and emotive, eventually melting down into a dominant third act.  

The release is capped off in excellent fashion with the subversive vibes of 'Varial'. Traditional sensibilities get set aside here, as the trio marry hazy harmonics with esoteric lines over a robust and imminently groovy foundation. Tranquil and trippy in equal measure, the near two-minute centrepiece gradually heightens the senses through tasteful modulation and slow burning percussion, before getting washed away in a rush of white noise for a rhythmically charged finale.

With the 'Aerial' EP Ezequiel Arias and Artfaq add a second chapter to their creative synergy. One which continues to push the boundaries of progressive music and thus solidifying their place at the forefront of the genre's movement.

Aerial

Ezequiel Arias & Artfaq - Aerial (Original Mix) [Replug]

Here’s a wonderful outing from a producer noted for his ability to stir unexpected ideas into
progressive house music that seem to fit naturally, but that never seem to occur to anyone
else. Almost nothing comes close to the mind-blowing artistry of Brian Cid. His characteristic
sound is in a rare class and leaves most competitors floundering. This three-track
masterpiece by a Brooklyn-based perfectionist finds an impeccable balance between passion
and structure conveying every intricacy within a functional aesthetic perspective. Lost &
Found has been a dominant force in progressive house music since 2012. Find out why!

Sound Avenue continues to stoke a flame that was first lit at Amsterdam Dance Event 2019. Heavily played by Hernan Cattaneo, “Embers” by Eric Lune returns to the label spotlight. Fellow Melbournian GMJ now delivers an equally fierce debut! By dismantling the original, he brings attention to its main themes. Sturdy beats, euphoric atmos and catchy leads remain focal points. At the same time, characteristic “deep, spatial” nuances fill out the mix.

Release Info

Originally part of their April 2018 Particles EP, Dimuth K, A-Jay and Shannon Davin brought together their combined talents from the island nation of Sri Lanka to produce a twin-track release of impressive proportions. Now, Yin and Yang reprise one of those tracks, as "Horus" receives new remixes from Argentinean and fellow Sri Lankan stars.

From central Argentina on the banks of the Quinto River, Fabri Lopez has found himself with almost a century of production credits to his name since a May 2014 debut for DOD Rekords. From his Villa Mercedes home, Lopez has performed regularly in clubs and bars across his hometown before moving into a successful production career. Finding his music on such blue-chip imprints as Balkan Connection, 3rd Avenue and Nicholas Van Orton's Balkan Connection South America, he has been supported by Nick Warren, Guy J and Argentinean superstar Hernan Cattaneo.

Making his Yang debut, the Fabri Lopez remix is characterized by a powerful kick and immaculately grooved bassline. Building in hypnotic fashion, a fizzing percussive top-line provides dynamic energy while smooth vocal phrasing meanders across the eight-minute piece. Full of dancefloor vibrancy, melodic elements from the "Horus" original filter gently into sonic range before a chorus of snare roll and white-noise power signals a return to the dense rhythmic picture.
