A regular contributor to the finest dance music imprints of the underground scene, Simos Tagias makes a welcome debut on Meanwhile with his 'Euphoria' EP.

Bursting onto the scene in late 2012 and early 2013 with a clutch of releases on Modu and Lynx Records, Simos Tagias has overseen a career path with a steady upwards trajectory that has since seen some 400 production credits to his name. Indeed, Clubsonica Records, Mango Alley and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music have all played regular host to the Greek artist’s work, not to mention successful releases on Cid Inc.’s Replug and Aly & Fila’s hugely successful FSOE.

Now opening his account on GMJ & Matter’s ever-growing Meanwhile, 'Euphoria' immediately impresses as a collage of elements fly across the sonic spectrum while a clicking ambient effect and grooved percussion provide dance floor character. Building in effervescent fashion, reversed synth motifs vie with delicately delayed phrases as a plethora of spot effects swim enticingly around the listener’s head. Winding up after a dizzying breakdown, the third movement carefully combines all the elements introduced in the earlier stages through a mind-melting melange of frequencies that pitches and falls in an innovative wall of sound Phil Spector would be proud of.

'Emotion' is a high-octane offering powering forward with chest-thumping kick and immaculately syncopated percussive groove. White noise infused synth motifs soon fill the sonic spectrum as a rapid-fire 16th note bassline carries the melodic elements with ease. Full of emotion and beautifully flowing synth lines, the track reaches its musical zenith at the breakdown before hitting its stride in the second half where all elements converge in lay lines of raw power and emotion.

In 2011 they released the 70’s disco throw back 'Foreign Language feat. Jess’, once again it cracked Triple J’s Hottest 100, topped Australia’s Independent Music Charts, was loved by The Cool Hunter and turned out to be the song Leonardo DiCaprio requests when he’s out clubbing! In that time Flight Facilities have also gone on to remix Cut Copy, Holy Ghost! and Foals and play sell out shows and festivals all across the US, Europe, South America and Japan.

Alright, alright – who’s on the remixes?!

Black Symmetry {B.A.X. Remix / Reprise}

Beatport

Noom (UK) - Black Symmetry {B.A.X. Remix} Stripped Recordings

Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint ushers in the summer season by showcasing new interpretations of Bigasti & Balad’s ‘The Days’. Originally released in August of 2019, it’s elegant motifs, wispy atmospheres and fluttery melodic concepts were well received by their fans and contemporaries. Still holding a place in the duo’s top five best selling tracks on Beatport, Sound Avenue now invites Nopi, B.A.X. and Jean Caillou to re-imagine the track. 

Returning to the label and providing the first interpretation of ‘The Days’ is Nopi. The Ukrainian artist first appeared on the Belgian imprint in February of this year with a remix of ‘Pearl’ by Paula OS. As the lead piece on the label’s ‘Re:Imagined #001’ release, it showcased Nopi’s individualities through a wealth of blissful concepts and organic design. Also laying claim to releases on Akbal Music, Kindisch and Seven Villas, Nopi now returns to Sound Avenue with a powerful rendition of ‘The Days’. Taking a cue from the original Nopi crafts a full groove and smooth rhythmic core. Nostalgic in nature, the piece flows through a storyboard of charged rhythms, luminous tones and fragmented vocals, before shifting energy into a transcendent break. Delicate yet buzzing, the centrepiece expertly melts down into a dramatic build as acid-like synths and a wave of noise spark a rousing finale.

Also making a welcome return to the label is B.A.X. who provides the second interpretation of ‘The Days’. The Vietnamese artist first appeared on Belgian imprint in January of this year with a remix of Madloch and Subnode’s ‘Lion’s Mane’, before delivering his ‘Serenade to Earth’ EP in April. Classically trained and borderless in his approach to production, the Ho Chi Minh City resident has also found a home on fryhide, Manual Music and Sound Avenue affiliate 3rd Avenue. Always a creative remixer, B.A.X. now returns to Sound Avenue, taking ‘The Days’ into his world of transcendent beats and impassioned melodies. Warm rhythms, clattering percussion and redolent bass set the course for this charming journey. Emerging chord stabs and rising atmosphere soon engulf the groove, saturating your senses in the process, before a heavenly break furthers its emotive lean onwards to a spine-tingling finale. 

Completing the release and providing the third and final interpretation of ‘The Days’ is Jean Caillou who returns for his second appearance. Hailing from Zurich, the Swiss artist first appeared on the Belgian imprint in November of last year with a gorgeous remix of Joe Miller’s ‘The Last of the Great Days’. Renowned for his deep, romantic storyboards, Jean has also showcased his music on Magician On Duty, Sag & Tre and Underyourskin Records. Often splitting time between deep house and electronica, the Swiss artist opts for the latter here with a reflective take on ‘The Days’. Fresh and emotive in equal measure, it’s a collage of exotic percussion, sprawling vocal gates and dusty electronics which captivate across the nine-minute journey. Soulful plucks and luminous tones expand the musical narrative, gently washing over the framework and ultimately closing the release out on a heartfelt note. A gorgeous remix from Jean, capping off a deep and dreamy remix edition for Bigasti & Balad’s ‘The Days’.

Guhus - The Anagram (Original Mix)

In August 2020, Kamilo Sanclemente began an exciting new journey "Beyond the Future", ably assisted by Colombian colleague, Dabeat. Now returning to Proton Music with a trio of new tracks and a trio of new collaborators, Sanclemente presents "Beyond the Future, Vol. 2" with remixes from French and Italian legends.

Opening with "Levitation", a powerful beat and machine-gun fire percussion trade blows with a subterranean bass groove and glorious arpeggiated riff that moves from muted to open filter in a smooth sweep. Adding texture through pads, the track, co-produced with Zalvador, evolves into beautifully crafted chords and shimmering emotive energy in the second half. In partnership with Giovanny Aparicio, "Innocence" is another shining jewel that glistens with evocative synth phrasing and delicate delays. A trademark heavy beat holds sway over the melodic elements as a swathe of glorious piano chords open up in the second movement and building in the back end with a powerful wall of sound crescendo. A third original track in collaboration with Mauro Aguirre, sees "Ambar" continue the strong rhythmic narrative of its predecessors. With a subtle organic house flavour, a free-flowing middle eastern inspired synth line meanders across the track while a rich vocal layer complements with natural sounding synth work. The result showcases Sanclemente's inimitable production skill and craftsmanship.

Returning to Proton Music on the back of four volumes of his ever-more successful, "One Side of the Underground" series, Rick Pier O'Neil continues to showcase an immaculate production technique through his prolific output. A pair of remixes in the shape of 2016's reworking of Karl Johan's C9 moniker and Mondkrater's "Stellar Depth" a year later, is now joined by a third. Reworking "Magma", O'Neil's attention to rhythmic nuance comes fully to the fore via an intricate percussive top line, while melodic themes rooted in Sanclemente & Dabeat's original, wax and wane across the 7-minute piece. In addition, a glorious array of additional production material adds a new dynamism with a subtle melancholic flavour, characterised by minor key changes and an incomparable understanding of the dance music industry.

Andrea Cassino is another artist who has found himself a regular on the Proton Music catalogue. A storied producer with a history of hit material under his belt, Cassino has shone with 2017's "Divine" EP and 2020's "Losing Part of Me" (alongside Greenage). Remixes for Rudy, GMJ and Michael A have all contributed to the Andrea Cassino narrative as the Italian born, Argentinean based artist excels once more through a glorious new treatment of "Aerology". Showcasing all his progressive house talent, a stunning array of reverb-coated pads and delayed motifs combine with driving beat and rolling percussion to create a rich and emotive sonic landscape. Using elements from Sanclemente & Dabeat's original with skill and ingenuity, Andrea Cassino extends the track with his production talent to create a progressive gem of an interpretation that hits the heights in the third movement.

A new musical triptych plus remixes from Rick Pier O'Neil and Andrea Cassino demonstrate Kamilo Sanclemente is looking "Beyond the Future" with Volume 2.

Easing us through the depths of March, we welcome Emotional Tourist back into the XYZ fold. Since the soaring reception to his remix of DSF’s Pouf, the Bucharest-bred producer has been firmly in the crosshairs as one to watch in 2021. After making waves last summer with a supreme EP on Kindisch, the Romanian released a stunning edit of Sade to claim our nod as one of the tracks of the year. We think he’s making some of the best deep and melodic sounds around, and we’re thrilled to showcase his immense quality with The Day the World Meets You.

The EP’s namesake opens with crisp drums, before warming to lush melodies and fluttering instrumentals. Emotional Tourist connects with a label favorite - Amega - on vocal duty. She steals the spotlight with a powerful performance, balancing cutting prose with undeniable emotion. A hearty kick ensures memorable dancefloor moments a-plenty for this one.

Alfama closes out the project, drawing inspiration from its predecessors. Soft vocals and a delicate string arrangement greet piano stabs, complimenting an ever-present drum rhythm. It’s classic Emotional Tourist, and rounds out an EP that touches upon everything we love about the Romanian. Melodic music from a warm soul - what more could we ask for?
