Paul Losev returns on 90watts hot on the heels of delivering a stellar remix for Hansgod's Splasher single.

The Miami based producer has made name for himself with releases on Where The Shadow Ends, Be Adult Music and Manual Deep to name a few. He's known for his emotionally charged yet delicate warm melodies, and that's exactly what you'll be hearing when you'll listen this his brand new single 'That Time'.

On remix duties, Erdi Irmak adds a bit of funky flavor to the mix. Keeping the melodic organic feel of the original close to his chest, but adding a very infectious guitar loop and some additional strings, his version is a great addition to Paul's lovely original!

Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint rounds out the month of May by showcasing new interpretations of ‘There’ by Jean Caillou. First emerging in 2016, Swiss artist Jean Caillou quickly established himself with releases via Magician On Duty, RYNTH, Sag & Tre and Underyourskin Records, where his deep, melodious sound flourished. Moving forward, July of 2019 saw the Zurich resident make his Sound Avenue debut with a well-received remix of Joe Miller’s ‘The Days’. Deep and enchanting in equal measure, its organic vibe immediately won over DJs and fans alike, sparking what has been a fruitful relationship between the Belgian imprint and Swiss artist. Now, nearly four years on from his label debut and Jean has recorded two artist EPs and two additional remixes, making him one of Sound Avenue’s most steadfast artists. Sitting as a highlight on Caillou’s resume has been ‘There’, a track which served as the lead piece on his first Sound Avenue artist showcase ‘Departure Unknown’. Its romantic overtones and intriguing vocal stylings found favour with a cross-section of electronic music tastemakers, while also receiving a progressive oriented remix from Dutch artist Daniel Van Der Zwaag. Now, looking to breathe new life into the track as we enter the summer season, Sound Avenue invites Berni Turletti, Beije and about : river to reimagine the production in their own unique essence. 

Providing the first remix of ‘There’ is Berni Turletti who returns to the label for his second appearance. Perhaps best known for his releases on Or Two Strangers, Higher States, Sudbeat and The Soundgarden, Berni Turletti brings a unique energy and perspective to progressive music. With the backing of Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Argentinean artist has been tipped as one of the genre’s future stars. The last two calendar years have seen Berni continue to emerge, recording standout projects for Peace Symphonies, Plattenbank, Proportion and Mango Alley. Madloch’s Sound Avenue has also been a home for the Cordoba resident, with a well received remix of Forty Cats landing in July of last year.  Now, fresh off a remix for label affiliate 3rd Avenue, Berni returns to Sound Avenue with a gorgeous take on ‘There’. While maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, the Argentinean artist crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, one where redolent themes and heartfelt sonics blanket warm rippling grooves and flashing percussive arrangements. Coming to full fruition across the main break, it’s a bucolic college of pianos and effects which serves to elevate mood onwards to a thumping finale.

There (Remixes)

Jean Caillou - There (About : River Remix) [Sound Avenue]

Clubsonica Records rounds out a successful year by welcoming CHRSTPHR to the label for his debut EP. Based in Hungary, Kristof Szabados aka CHRSTPHR first emerged in 2018 with a release via Spiral Music. Noted for his club-effective tech-house sound, it was a cover of Brainbug's classic ‘Nightmare' in 2021 which officially made the Hungarian an artist to watch. The next two calendar years would prove impactful for CHRSTPHR, as he signed on to long-standing tech-house imprints Cr2 Records, Farris Wheel Recordings and Panterre Musique, all outlets where his dancefloor minded approach flourished. Now, following a well-received debut for Coronita Records, CHRSTPHR makes his Clubsonica debut with ‘Anomaly | Miss You', alongside remixes from Kostya Outta and Deviu.

Looking to showcase a more melodic side of his repertoire, CHRSTPHR aims squarely at the dance floor with lead selection ‘Anomaly'. The Hungarian artist masterfully marries astral sonics and emotive vocals with punchy kick drums and rolling grooves. An array of melodic hooks and orbiting effects steal the air across the first act, adding texture and depth leading into the heart of the journey. Coming to full fruition across the main break, it's a clever coax of ghostly vocals and poignant chord changes which creates a hopeful vibe, building anticipation with each successive pass, before giving way to mature drop and effects-laden finale. The companion piece 'Miss You' lands with a deeper, more ethereal approach. Enticing from the start, its punchy grooves, haunted vocal samples and evolving soundscapes marry perfectly for mid-set moments. Pushing the narrative further, a transcendent break sits at the heart of the journey, flowing through soulful guitar motifs and warm bass swells, before a marching drop sets the course for a melancholic conclusion.

The first interpretation of ‘Anomaly' is Kostya Outta. Born and raised in Belarus but now based in Poland, Kostya Outta first emerged just over a decade ago. On the success of early tracks such as 'High Flyers' and 'Silence', Kostya's groovy melodic sound was born, making him a new breed of progressive house producers to watch going forward. World class DJs Eelke Kleijn, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, among others, have been steadfast supporters along the way, while releases via Afterglow, Deepwibe Underground and Mango Alley have been discography highlights. Now, following an impressive debut for Cid Inc's Replug Records, Kostya adds Clubsonica to his resume with a huge rendition of ‘Anomaly'. Bringing a progressive state of mind, Kostya carefully balances the emotion of the original with his own melodic groove-centric sound. Re-processed vocals and vibrant melodies steal the air atop punchy beats, chunky grooves and acid-like stabs, for what results in the ultimate dance floor bomb. 

The final interpretation of ‘Anomaly' is Deviu'. Based in Pasto, the Colombian artist began his journey into electronic music production in 2014 under a variety of alias', before eventually settling on Deviu in 2020. Created as an outlet to explore the realms of deep, progressive and organic house, Deviu would go on to secure releases via respected brands in Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Nora En Pure's Purified and Berlin powerhouse Steyoyoke, where his far-reaching sound immediately found footing. Now, rounding out 2023 on a strong note, Deviu returns to Clubsonica with a spirited take on ‘Anomaly'. While maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, Deviu aims squarely at a peak hour dancefloor with a sweeping sonic experience all his own. An exhilarating journey where spirited vocals, trance-inducing melodies and emotional overlays surface from their energy inducing architecture, resulting in a version that is sure to send people home with a smile.
