'The latest release on Hicky & Kalo's label Plaisirs Sonores Records is a scintillating package, which brings together two titans of the progressive scene. The EP features two progressive house legends; Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren alongside their collaborators Soundexile and Nicolas Rada. They have both remixed tracks taken from the most recent Hicky & Kalo EP 'Borealis'.

It's been quite a ride for Hicky & Kalo in the last 18 months. The young duo have made a name for themselves in the progressive house scene with a string of quality releases, including a collaboration with Seth Schwarz and releases on Hernan Cattaneo's label Sudbeat and Cid Inc's label Replug. In the meantime, they were remixed by both Rodriguez Jr. and Sahar Z. The reaction to their latest EP 'Borealis' was quite something and the title track was even in the Top 100 Beatport Progressive House for 67 days.

With this powerhouse remix EP now on the way, it is surely the cherry on top of a momentous last 18 months. We hope you enjoy it!'

Thanks BEATPORT for the big banner !

Release info:
"Firmly ensconced at underground dance’s top table, GMJ has matured into a powerful force. Returning to the Meanwhile imprint he founded with spiritual brother, Matter, “Empty to Fill” is an outstanding new offering.
 
An artist who has risen to prominence in both the live and production arenas, Gavin Griffin finds himself at the centre of an ever-vibrant Melbourne music scene. Home to a host of iconic names and a sound that helped define the progressive house genre in the 2000s, his GMJ moniker has continued to shape the modern progressive sound. With over 400 production credits to his name, a century alongside long-term partner, Matter, GMJ has seen his music adorn the likes of Balance Music, Anjunadeep and Proton Music.
 
Opening his solo account on Meanwhile with October 2020’s “Mood Medicine”, collaborative EPs with Matter have seen “Lost on Origin”, “The Path / Perfect Storm” and “Eldarin” light up the label, alongside remixes for Simos Tagias, Roger Martinez and Matter himself.
 
Opening with the title track, “Empty to Fill” is a chunky, subterranean groove-fuelled monster. Bristling with menacing vibe, lighter moments come courtesy of floating synth motifs that glide to the fore in a stripped back breakdown of delicate keys and gloriously delayed sequences. A pulsating white-noise riser heralds a return of the club-friendly groove and gorgeous melodic flow in the latter stages.
 
Continuing with the trademark rolling groove that watermarks the GMJ sound, “Door of Light” sparkles with arpeggiated backdrop and reverse-reverb vocal breaths. Evolving immaculately, stratified sonic layers flourish as they entwine together in organic fashion. Counterpoint motifs coruscate above pulsing white-noise swells as the aptly named track waxes and wanes in perfect dancefloor cadence, before reaching a rousing crescendo in an immersive sonic tapestry.
 
The final piece sees the popping percussive vibrancy of “Stage Flight” sit atop a stereo-panned bass groove. Building over its 7-minute duration, syncopated synth riffs lock tightly into the driving framework that reaches its culmination with a chorus of breathy pads and a drop back into the rolling bassline and mirrored synth sequence. The resultant track is a powerful snapshot straight out of the GMJ production playbook.
 
Chock full of rhythmic force and multi-faceted layers of sound, “Empty to Fill” displays a sparkling 24-carat hallmark of the GMJ sound."

It’s getting a bit slower for the third release of André Hommen’s These Eyes imprint as Marc Romboy delivers an outstanding Electronica track called ‘Trapped In An Orbit’. 

Romboy has been into the electronic music scene for over two decades, founded and built internationally respected dance-music labels and projects, never tiring of coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to push the limits of electronic sounds. He just released his ‘Voyage De La Planete’ album, which is pushing the boundaries between classical and electronic music to create both an emotional and atmospheric experience. 

‘Trapped In An Orbit’ is coming with a lot of different electronic layers and might surprise throughout the track - as that’s what makes it special. Lauer, who is one half of Tuff City Kids (with Running Back’s Gerd Janson), delivers the remix on the B side which is a bit more club-orientated but still leftfield. Slow is the new fast. 

Trapped In An Orbit’ will be out June 23, digitally and as limited 12” vinyl.

'For our 34th release on Juicebox Music, we have a 2-track collaborative EP between two fantastic Argentinian producers - Berni Turletti & Matias Chilano, both consistently pushing the progressive space with pure passion. Relatively newer to the scene, Berni Turletti's appearance on Nick Warren's "The Soundgarden" & "Hope Recordings" (through his EP with Dimuth K) as well as Antrim's "Or Two Strangers" cemented his place as a force to be reckoned with. Returning back to Juicebox Music, after his remix of "Monojoke - Backwards", the more veteran Matias Chilano's decade long discography needs no real introduction with standout associations on Tash's "Movement Recordings", "Proton Music" & "Particles". Recently, not one, but two of Matias' remixes went on to feature in Patrice Baumel's GU42 Berlin on mighty Global Underground, a monumental milestone for any.

Berni Turletti & Matias Chilano put their strengths to the table to deliver a balanced combination of their signature sounds in the form of "Alumine" & "Forgettable", filled with solid low-end grooves, soaring leads & spacey atmospherics. Joining the pack as the only remixer is another returning artist from our roster - Anton MAKe, whose remix of Michael A's "Endless Time" was one of the best ways we could close 2018. Anton's equally impressive catalog features an impressive list of associations including Cid Inc & Orsen's "Replug", Mango's "Mango Alley" & Milos' "Balkan Connection" to name a few. Anton's version on "Alumine" heads towards a more deeper & hypnotic space but loaded with tension for the main melody to shine through, rounding off the release in a classy manner.'

The rapidly thriving onedotsixtwo label launches its 2020 campaign with yet another essential release, this time from the multitasking main man himself, Tripswitch, who has masterminded an incredible refreshing of his classic ‘Box Fresh’ track, having enlisted the studio skills of Emi Galván, Forerunners and Nicolas Rada, alongside him on remix duty.

“‘Box Fresh’ was a really significant track for me when it first came out on the ‘Propulsion EP’ in 2014. It was one of the first progressive tracks I wrote where I felt I’d successfully struck the right formula between my own production style, which was more rooted in epic, euphoric chillout, and an up-to-date progressive house sound.” - Tripswitch

The original track’s significance (represented by the 2020 Remaster in this new package) grew exponentially when it became one of the first Tripswitch tracks (after his remix of Seamless ‘Castle In the Sky’ on Section Records) that Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo really hammered in their sets and was thus pivotal in establishing Tripswitch on the progressive path, ultimately leading to the birth of onedotsixtwo. 

“I always felt it deserved more credit for what it had opened up for me, and a 2020 re-release on onedotsixtwo with a reimagined remix version and big remixes from some of my favourite producers is a fitting way to bring it back!” – Tripswitch

With an ethos to seek out and feature the finest world-class talent within the underground progressive house scene, Tripswitch has teamed up with rising Argentinian superstar Nicolas Rada (who is making a huge impression on the scene right now) to open proceedings. This creative dream team’s ability to tease out the essential original mind-blowing beauty of ‘Box Fresh’ with their deeply delicious 2020 ReFresh is quite astonishing. By composing a magnificently subtle, tantalizing, soaring, new melodic masterpiece, they set the stage perfectly for this truly outstanding remix package.

Another Buenos Aires resident, the exceptionally multi-talented Emi Galván, brings his own unique vision to ‘Box Fresh’. Emi has earned a reputation as a kind of crown prince of uplifting electronic music and here he injects his infectious blend of bounce and funk to proceedings to launch the track to a higher level of energetic abandonment, juxtaposing irresistible melodic hooks with euphoric percussive flourishes to create an absolutely monstrous dancefloor experience. Emi’s remix has already been cited by Nick Warren as one of the biggest tracks of his DJ sets.

Arizona USA’s Brenden LaBonte (aka Forerunners) makes a welcome return to onedotsixtwo with his outstanding remix. A sophisticated interwoven blend of skippy percussion, meandering bassline groove and lush layers of hypnotic melody, create a marvellous drifting sea of tranquil beauty. It is a wonderfully subtle journey from the masterful DJ/Producer who always creates a stir amongst discerning underground progressive house fans worldwide

To conclude this unmissable package, the original joyous iridescence of ‘Box Fresh’ has been tweaked to glorious effect for the 2020 Remaster and, if you haven’t already discovered its wondrous uplifting musicality, prepare to be mightily impressed! Holding ever true to the onedotsixtwo proper progressive philosophy, ‘Box ReFresh’ once again delivers on the label's manifesto, adding another essential release to their vital catalogue featuring some of the most forward-thinking and well-produced progressive house out there. 2020 starts here!

Tripswitch - Box Fresh (Emi Galvan Remix)

'Impressive DJs and producers in their own rights, Andrea Cassino and Greenage have both found themselves featured on a host of blue-chip labels. With a career stretching back some 20 years, May 2017 saw Andrea Cassino's "Divine" hit Proton Music followed by remixes from Magitman and Deeparture. A Proton Music debutant, Greenage has found considerable success with a double century of production credits for the likes of Stellar Fountain, Juicebox Music and Mango Alley. Combining their extensive forces, the title track opens with a reverb-laden percussive top line before dancefloor-oriented bassline groove and heavy beat create a strong rhythmic framework. Building effortlessly with angelic vocal layers and wave-like pads, "Losing Part of Me" waxes and wanes through its different phases as a Tangerine Dream inspired arpeggio makes its presence felt at the breakdown and into the third movement. The result is a majestic piece of progressive house. "Agua of Life" continues the rich bassline groove as off-beat percussive hats make their play alongside rippling motifs that carry the cadenced melodic narrative of its predecessor. Vocal layers once again play their part as the track hits its stride in the second half with consummate ease and impressive craftsmanship.

A remarkable producer with almost 500 production credits to his name since a 2011 debut, Dmitry Molosh's star burns brightly in the underground dance firmament. His distinctive sound has won him fans and plaudits far beyond his native Belarus with support from Nick Warren, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo amongst others. A quartet of stellar remixes for Proton Music have included reworkings of Navid Mehr, Kastis Torrau and Trilucid and Phil Martyn while a debut original EP is set to follow. Returning with a typically impressive reworking of "Losing Part of Me", the Dmitry Molosh remix is an immaculate production that retains the head-shaking bassline character of the original while extending it through mirrored melodies that rise and fall with filtered ease. Layers of sound entwine in a multi-faceted sonic landscape that cleverly reinterprets Cassino and Greenage's central line, before exploding into the second half with dark dancefloor power and light melodic touch.

Cream and Deep Fog are mainstays of the progressive house scene with their distinctive sonic character and impressive production skills. Highly respected, hard-working DJs in their native Poland, the duo share over a century of production credits together with 2015's "Neverland" EP on Particles a notable highlight. A pair of remixes for Proton Music in the shape of interpretations of GMJ and Matter and Trilucid in 2018 and 2019 is now joined by a third. The Cream and Deep Fog remix of "Agua of Life" is a sumptuous reworking that revels in clever percussive layer and deep resonant kick that paves the way for the vocal layers from the original to lilt gently across proceedings alongside opulently textured pads. Evolving elegantly, the core melodic theme filters into sonic range, taking centre stage at the breakdown as additional production material from the duo's arsenal creates a dynamic and explosive second half.

Creating a powerful musical force with their original music, remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Cream and Deep Fog ensure Andrea Cassino and Greenage are in no danger "Losing Part of Me".'
