Deep & Natural, Vol. 6

Premiere: Luciano Capomassi - Marga [AMITABHA]

Back for a further edition of his long-running series, Erdi Irmak provides listeners with a trio of new original tracks courtesy of his "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 7".

Opener, "Mirai" is a silky smooth melodic gem that revolves around a delicately rolling rhythmic groove. Evolving elegantly, filtered melodies come to the sonic foreground where strings, piano and synth combine in melancholic majesty. Breathy vocals add a further wonderful touch in a track full of poise and creativity. "Sonzai" builds on the intelligent groove of its predecessor as rich piano chords create an air of sadness, complemented by a meandering string section. An acoustic guitar hook adds to the collage as the hypnotic rhythm section and heavy beat drive the track dynamically forwards. The third original track continues the musical narrative with a balance of muted synths and organic instrumentation through "Sekai". Clever answer and call phrases make their presence felt as a sustained string section adds depth and texture before a strong synth phrase cuts through the mid-range. The subtle development of melodic layers and hypnotic rhythm thus provide a unique and atmospheric piece.

A Peruvian artist of growing repute, Luis Léon is a master of cross-genre sounds that range between house, techno and ambient. Finding his music featured on such established imprints as Stripped Recordings, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Kindisch, a late 2021 Particles debut saw a remix of Jayden Klight's "Refraction" in collaboration with Haider Uppal. Now debuting on Proton Music, the Luis Léon remix of "In Depth" from Volume 6, makes exceptional use of a cluster of atmospheric and effected voices, while a chunky stepped rhythm provides a powerful anchor. A legato bassline adds depth while subtly pitched motifs and staccato synths add to the feel. Opening up in the second half, familiar motifs from Erdi Irmak's original can be heard but they are immaculately reinterpreted in new sonic directions with Luis Léon creating a powerful new interpretation.

An artist whose performances across the globe at the likes of Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle and the prestigious Rainbow Serpent Festival, have seen amháin delight audiences time and again. Simultaneously, the Irishman has seen a parallel rise to prominence through his production work for a host of labels including Meanwhile, Vapour Recordings and onedotsixtwo. A single remix for Proton Music in the shape of Michael A's "Silent Moments" is now joined by a delicate reworking of "Walls" that is a flowing river of sound; from the dark, rolling bassine undercurrents to the delicate synth ripples that meander across the surface with consummate ease. Anchored by a heavy beat and metronomic hi-hat pattern, amháin's skill is to majestically weave elements from Erdi Irmak's "Walls" into a cascading stream of new melodic elements that shimmer and sparkle through opulent delays and reverbs.

A musical maestro, Erdi Irmak provides a trio of new tracks with remixes coming from Luis Léon and amháin in "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 7".

Founded by Da Luka and Jorgio Kioris, roku arrives in grand fashion with a much-anticipated single from Da Luka and Aman Anand. Hailing from Albania, Da Luka emerged from his country's electronic music landscape a decade ago. Whether operating in solo capacity or
alongside frequent production partner Jorgio Kioris, Da Luka's creative vision would summon the praise of progressive music tastemakers Cid Inc, Guy J, Eelke Kleijn, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick
Warren and more, in turn leading to releases via Droid9, Juicebox Music, Movement Recordings and WARPP. Meanwhile, Indian born, Singapore based artist Aman Anand has enjoyed similar success across his eleven-year career. With a cutting-edge style, Aman has become beloved within the progressive music spectrum, recording standout projects for Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Sudbeat, while also earning play and support from the genre's elite guard in Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Now, for roku's inaugural offering, Da Luka and Aman combine their extensive forces for the first time, presenting the much anticipated single 'Mythical Creatures', alongside remixes from Golan Zocher and Kamilo Sanclemente and Chris
Cargo.

The release concludes with Chris Cargo making his label debut with the second and final interpretation of 'Mythical Creatures'. The Irish artist was an integral part of the progressive house movement that happened in the late nineties. Perhaps best known for his productions
on Mara's Choo Choo label, label, Chris also appeared on Renaissance and Automatic Records.
Following a long absence Chris made a well-received return to the scene in 2017 and has since compiled an impressive discography, highlighted by releases via John OO Fleming's JOOF Recordings, Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and his own If You Wait imprint. Fresh off projects for Tash's Movement Recordings to end the year, Chris begins 2023 by putting a deeper, more atmospheric spin on 'Mythical Creatures'. Warm and inviting throughout; its re-shaped low end
provides a smooth anchor for balmy effects and heavenly sonics to work their magic. A blissful centrepiece sits at the heart of the journey, highlighted by creamy melodies, evolving atmospherics and bulbous bass swells; an emotive amalgamation of sound which perfectly sets the stage for a tasteful finale.

PREMIERE: Da Luka & Aman Anand - Mythical Creatures (Chris Cargo Remix) [ROKU]

Presenting their first ever artist album, Clubsonica Records welcomes Zalvador to the label with his debut LP ‘Emotions'. Hailing from Colombia, Zalvador emerged from his country's progressive music landscape in 2018. Noted for his poignant dance floor productions, Zalvador's craft shines through vividly, making each one of his creations an emotive experience. Currently calling New York home, it was a debut on Soundteller Records which foreshadowed what has been a five-year creative swell for the rising phenom. A string of well-received projects for Mango Alley, Plattenbank, Proton Music, Siona Records and The Soundgarden, have yielded play and support from Hernan Cattaneo, Miss Monique and Nick Warren. With a contribution to The Soundgarden's Winter Collection to begin the year, Zalvador now embarks on the biggest project of his career, making his much-anticipated Clubsonica debut with ‘Emotions'.

Comprised of seven distinctive and equally compelling creations, it is the infectious grooves and electric lines of ‘Anxiety' which set the tone for the album. Instantly seductive, its panoramic synth textures create a colourful canopy for muscular beats and mountainous basslines to ignite the dance floor. A well-crafted break sits at the heart of the journey, flowing through youthful arp fragments and phasing noise, before uniting for an exhilarating drop and powerfully hypnotic finale. Selection two ‘Elevation' finds Zalvador composing with a strong sense of space. With each sound being an event in a slowly expanding landscape, zooming out to reveal a world of scale in which depth and contrast coax perfectly with rhythm and melody. The Colombian flexes his free-thinking muscles across a memorable break, as pitch-shifting structures and hypnotizing effects take centerstage, eventually transferring energy into a suitably cosmic conclusion.

Continuing on a darker monochrome with ‘Fear', Zalvador diversifies his portfolio with a thought-provoking creation. The New York resident allows the listener to relish in the groove, as flashing percussive arrangements and striking effects provide a bridge into a therapeutic, arp-driven break and suitably unstated finale. Meanwhile, on ‘Love' Zalvador shifts his modus operandi into one of deeper grooves and poignant musicality. In lightning the mood while remaining fluid within the confines of the release, its fresh aesthetics and eager optimism perfectly set the stage for the peak hour qualities of ‘Pride'. Collapsing under its own gravity as momentum builds and pyrotechnic synths steal the air, eventually breaking into a hyperventilating helium rush of hazy harmonics, buzzing rhythmic structures and emotive chord changes.

The album's final stretch sees Zalvador furthering his pursuit of progressive music excellence with the fiery energy of ‘Shame'. Pitched somewhere comfortably between cosmic reverie and melodic bliss, its utopian style ecstasy proves once again that the most astute artists often find a way to the finish line, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. While this looping hypnotism does not fail to command your attention, it also provides a segue in the collection's final act, the aptly titled ‘Hope'. Sure to be celebrated for his progressive prowess, Zalvador places the final piece in this seven-track audio travelogue, as hopeful melodies ring out into timeless suspension, while a gentle flurry of effects sweep their way across a bed of pulsating beats and rebounding rhythms.

Zalvador creates a fascinating sonic ecosystem over the course of 'Emotions', a striking seven track odyssey that looks into the mind of an artist who masterfully balances rich production with fire-starting spontaneity.

Deepwibe Underground's -102C opens the spring season by welcoming Nopi to the label for his debut EP. Ukrainian artist Nopi brings a surreal beauty to his innovative brand of electronic composition. His colourful synth leads, exotic percussive arrangements and smooth, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a sound that is all his own. Emerging in 2019, Nopi has enjoyed a three-year creative swell, earning the praise of electronic music tastemakers such as Behrouz, Guy J, Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sebastian Leger and more; while All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit, Replug and TRYBESof have served as landing spots for his transcendent sound. Having released an EP and two remixes for label affiliate Deepwibe Underground, Nopi now debuts on -102C with a two track showcase entitled 'Winter Bowl'.

EP opener and title selection ‘Winter Bowl’ finds Nopi composing with strong organic qualities. Seductive from the outset, its looping hypnotism, youthful vocal fragments and subtle musicality never fail to command your attention. Creamy arps build to a temperate boil across the first act, nicely set against aquatic effects and sturdy percussion, before perfectly segueing into a dreamy, vocal-infused break and elegant piano-laced finale.

Companion piece 'Delema' builds with a subdued pulse as broken beats and exotic drums eventually reveal a world of textural and structural dimensions which blanket key changing grooves and panoramic arps. Thematically distinct throughout, the Ukrainian’s misty melodies are haunting and highly memorable, ringing out in timeless suspension, before segueing into a transcendent finale that should fair well in the morning hours. Already a favourite of Eelke Kleijn, it rounds out an excellent -102C debut for Nopi, an artist we hope to hear much more from as 2023 moves forward. Highly recommended.

"The Clapping Song" is an American song, written by Lincoln Chase, originally arranged by Charles Calello and recorded by Shirley Ellis in 1965, shortly after Ellis had released "The Name Game".
The song returned to the charts when the British pop-rock band “The Belle Stars” covered the song in 1982, on their self-titled LP. Their version charted at number 11 in the UK, and number 4 in Australia.
In our edit we kept some original vocals but we added some electronic beats and modular bass to create fresh and high vibes. The result is an instant classic for every dancefloor.

About Chalanga:
Chalanga is an italian duo composed by DJ and producer Patrick Di Stefano and multi-instrumentalist Diego Grassedonio. Their project blends the energy of electronic music with the evocative power of live instruments: afro-futuristic percussions, psychedelic flutes and the shamanic presence of the saxophone. 
The result is a collective ritual moving between downtempo, organic house and melodic techno, crafting soundscapes that resonate with ancestral traditions and contemporary visions. 
With releases on labels such as Lump Records, Cosmovision Records, Café de Anatolia, Shango Records, Chalanga has brought its unique vibration to international clubs and festivals across Europe, sharing their alchemy in immersive and visionary settings.
