Miraval's love for unusual plants brought them to the "Asian Bleeding Heart" that was the beginning of this particular EP - the violet symbolizing nostalgia in their eyes and at the same time a cloud of emotions, they created "Violet Cloud". The EP closes with "Father's Portrait", overflowing with thoughts, feelings and memories.

Argentina’s Lucefora & the UK’s Steve Kelley have each made significant individual strides over the years with releases on the likes of All Day I Dream and Souksonic under their respective belts. However, their joint material is capturing the ears of late, launching their partnership with the sumptuous Silk on our Tales of Romance series earlier this year. As they continue to dive deeper into the collaborative territories, we are thrilled to unveil their first EP together - Bodhiss.

The title track opens the show, diving deep into the realm of melodies and organica throughout the early moments. Percussive rhythms and searching synth work set the stage, as piano chords cut through the mold. The arrangement consistently builds in its offering, elevating energy as the track progresses to create sumptuous dancefloor momentum. A perfectly balanced groover that feels right at home.

LTR Premiere: Valer den Bit - Nebosvod (Original Mix) [My Other Side of The Moon]

'An artist with a long and esteemed career within the underground dance industry, Chris Cargo is one of electronic music’s great innovators. Always at the bleeding edge of the progressive and deep house scene, he returns to his If You Wait imprint with a full-length album of ground-breaking breadth and diversity that showcases true “Resistance”.

A seasoned DJ and producer from Belfast, Cargo has seen his music reach far beyond the boundaries of his Northern Ireland home that have seen him enrapture crowds across all corners of the globe since the 1990s. From Shanghai and Siberia to Malaysia and Mexico for the likes of Smirnoff, Renaissance and Tennent’s Lager, Cargo has thrilled with a series of meticulously crafted and spellbinding sets. A celebrated production career has run contemporaneously with Cargo seeing his music signed to a plethora of blue-chip imprints that include John 00 Fleming’s JOOF, Paul Thomas’ UV and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, as well as the likes of Mango Alley, Stellar Fountain and Flow Vinyl. Supported by DJs across the world, particular attention has been paid by the dance industry’s glitterati that features John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Laurent Garnier, to name but an elite few.

Using his own imprint as a vehicle for his music and a wealth of other high-profile artists, Chris Cargo now debuts his “Resistance” album on If You Wait. The multi-layered sonic landscape of “Constellations” opens proceedings with its subtle vocal phrasing, suspenseful chord progressions and twinkling motif. “From Within” continues the textured patterns before a rolling breakbeat groove adds a heavyweight anchor. Building to a rousing crescendo, stereo-panned pads open up in the second half. The deep house vibe of “Kundalini” impresses with its powerful bassline and delicate percussive roll adding weight aplenty, before the light, house vibe of “Cried to Dream” impresses with reverb-laden piano chords and subtly incongruous pad backdrop.

A delicate percussive vibe returns courtesy of “Corrado” as it rolls hypnotically across its 8-minute timeframe accompanied by a glorious jazz piano sequence and delay-infused effects, while “Home”, featuring the loquacious vocal harmonies of Sarah Whittaker Gilbey, is a delight to behold with its tender phrasing and air of melancholy. “Synergy” jars the listener back to the here and now with a deep bassline groove and ticking hi hat rhythm before “Aurora” smacks of club-friendly rhythms and powerful melodies. Straight out of the modern progressive house handbook, elegantly crafted melodies filter into range as muted arpeggios dance in tandem.

“Circadian” continues the driving club atmosphere that has come to define the Chris Cargo sound with its chest-thumping kick and powerful bass notes, while ethereal melodies easily drift across the mid-range to create a spine-tingling moment of magic. A stripped back breakbeat pattern heralds “Some Kind of Electric” as a sustained arpeggio and syncopated melody play off each other. Counterpoint melody is provided courtesy of sumptuous pads as an 80s bass pattern supplies a nostalgic feel. Ending as it began, the smooth textures of “Space Between” provide a pause for reflection as emotive chords soar into the distance with gravitas and strength, creating the perfect end to an outstanding body of work.'

'Travis Jesse has made quite a stir from his adopted Argentinean home. A relative newcomer to the underground dance scene, April 2020's 5-track "Solandra" EP showcased the native Australian's production skills.

Going onto feature on the likes of 3rd Avenue, AH Digital and Mistique Music, Jesse's Particles debut opens with "Salvage". Redolent in deep rolling groove and heavy beat, melodic flourishes revel alongside panned synth and thickly layered pads. A glorious collage of sounds thus builds amidst dancefloor rhythm in a track that showcases effortless craftsmanship. The picture book "Wildflower" continues the head-shaking rhythmic cadence while a subterranean bass groove anchors a symphony of melodic touches. Blossoming through the beatless breakdown, delayed piano and reverse reverb vocal breaths jostle gently against gently pulsing pads in waves of sonic bliss.

Another relative newcomer, Mauro Masi is the third artist to ply his trade from South America. A proponent of deep and progressive house, the Argentinean has quickly found his feet within the underground dance fraternity after an August 2019 debut on Mystic Carousel Records. Further work has since graced the likes of Flug Lab, Balkan Connection and Nick Lewis's Emotional Content Recordings. Now making his Particles debut, the Mauro Masi remix swims in joyous melodic harmony as refrains from "Wildflower" fizz and ripple across a cascading array of new production material. New motifs hypnotise in gentle repetition, surrounded by a chunky rhythmic framework and deep kick. Building in subtly overlapping sonic layers, new melodies blend seamlessly with Travis Jesse's work. The result is an ingenious and innovative new arrangement that encapsulates the Mauro Masi production sound.

Able to "Salvage" a treasure trove of sonic jewels, Travis Jesse is ably assisted by Andrea Cassino and Mauro Masi.'
