Esteban Ikasovic is one of those artists which came out of the blue but you see all over the place nowadays. And there's a reason for that of course, because the Argentinian producer is simply very skilled! This time he drops two new originals on Francesco Pico's Magnitude Recordings label, accompanied by a big remix by industry veteran Golan Zocher. Essential stuff for the progressive house community!

Continuing their ascent through the organic house underground, Mariner + Domingo return to Madloch’s Sound Avenue with a new three track showcase. The Belgian imprint has become somewhat of a home base for the talented American duo. A cross section of Mariner + Domingo’s most beloved tracks have come courtesy of the long-standing imprint, most notably ‘Le’ Carnival’, ‘Edenwilde’ and ‘Another Life’, the latter of which earned play, support and a Beatport chart feature from world class DJ and All Day I Dream boss Lee Burridge. Now as the world looks towards a period of rejuvenation, with dancefloors taking on new levels of satisfaction after an extended silence, Mariner + Domingo charm us once again with three stunning tracks across their latest Sound Avenue vehicle ‘Inertia’.

Already a favourite of organic house trendsetter Tim Green, it is the esoteric sounds of the title selection which lead the release off. Mariner + Domingo continue to perfect their craft here, with an amalgamation of carnival inspired motifs blanketing a rich, well contoured groove and flurries of exotic percussion. Void of any traditional musicality, it’s mystical charm might be its strongest suit. Coming to an emotional peak during the interlude, the Florida residents marry indistinct vocals with breezy effects, hopeful pads and harmonic swells for an understated yet poignant peak. 

Going deeper still are the charming sounds of selection two ‘I Still Remember’. Set in motion by a lush, DJ friendly intro, Mariner + Domingo open emotional centres further with fragmented vocals and Mediterranean musicality. A thumping foundation sets the pace going forward, delighting hearts and minds with its utopian flavour, as wistful melodies ebb and flow with the main break drawing closer. Colourful pads and processed pianos rise in unison across the interlude, offering a romantic lean and conjuring up transcendent imagery for all the deep dreamers out there. Essential eyes closed material for your living room or dance floor. 

Rounding out the release are the lush qualities of ‘How Am I Supposed To Feel’. Thoughtful vocal phrasing and organic percussion sit perfectly over punchy beats and pulsating bass tones. The duo’s drifting harmonics are beautifully interwoven, creating a vivid soundscape and magical transition into a second act of broken beats and vibrant percussion. A unique and impactful transition which ultimately spearheads further vocal edits and a delicate piano infused outro. It caps off another sensational audio travelogue from Mariner + Domingo, a fast-rising duo who always seem to put their best foot forward on Sound Avenue.

California based Jake Kaiser has been building up a good reputation with releases on Nora & Pure's Purified Records and Monstercat Silk to name a few. Now we're delighted to have him on board for his MNL debut which features two brand new songs 'Big Lost' and 'Grebe'.

'Big Lost' is a dreamer in the true sense of the word. It's packed with lovely synth melodies and soundscapes whilst the percussion and beats sound fresh and crispy clear. What a lovely tune!

'Grebe' is a more than worthy "b-side". A bit deeper and mysterious with a lovely melodic main theme in combination with a sustained bass synth that really gives it that unique emo touch.

A year after his well received 'Morning Vibes' single, a collaboration with Dabeat, progressive house super star Kamilo Sanclemente makes his return on Francesco Pico's Magnitude Recordings with his brand new single; the smooth and sexy 'Honest'.

Kamilo personally asked two rising artists, Axel Giova and Topo Larocca, to create a remix to complement this release and they did so with class.
