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.

Release Info

Antrim’s Or Two Strangers welcomes Andres Moris back to the label for his debut EP. Based in Argentina, Andres Moris has been touted as one of his country’s fastest rising progressive house talents. Although only eighteen months into his production career, the Cordoba resident has already earned the support of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J, while landing releases via 3rd Avenue, Balkan Connection, Droid9 and Movement Recordings. Having made his Or Two Strangers debut in October of last year with a contribution to the labels ‘Strangers 2’ collection, Andres now returns for his first artist showcase entitled ‘Eternal Flame’. 

Getting the release underway and sitting as one of Andre’s most heady productions to date is the title selection ‘Eternal Flame’. Warm beats and a full, rolling groove set the foundation for a narrative of whimsical arps, uniquely tailored percussion and shimmering overlays. Pushing a poignant narrative, cascading melodies and warm bass swells marry beautifully across an expansive break, building emotion with each pass before eventually giving way to a thumping drop and key changing finale. 

Living up to its title, the second selection ‘Stomper’ aims squarely at a peak time dance floor with its romping groove and colourful electronics. Powerful and atmospheric in equal measure, the nine-minute journey delights with supersonic effects and heartfelt overlays carrying the narrative into an exhilarating break. Sizzling modulation continues to build tension, creating a trippy canopy of sound as a rush of noise and drums spark a thunderous drop and epic conclusion.  

Putting on a stamp on this excellent collection are the wavy grooves and gorgeous melodies of ‘The Color of Sounds’. Bright and uplifting throughout, it’s a collage of lively percussion, buoyant chord stabs and kaleidoscopic synth phrases which captivate leading into the break. Wistful themes further the story as the centrepiece unfolds, bringing with them hopeful moods and transcendent vibes, before clustered sonics put your senses on high for an emotive finale. It rounds out three excellent selections from Andres Moris, a fast rising talent who continues to grow into his place as a future progressive music star.

With the second act of the Organic House series "Renascent", Cigarette Music presents a large selection of highly talented producers coming from the four corners of the world.
Apocrypha (Ar), Gres A, Juanma Sanchez, Maezbi, Pablo Asturizaga, Luciano Elvira & Gaston Martinez, Mazayr, Rich Towers and Jozified Manik got into eight vibrant tracks to deeply animate body and spirit and to make this new release a must have.

HMWL Premiere: Rich Towers - Apple Bobbing (Original Mix)

'Italian veteran Gai Barone teams up with Micah for three prime cuts showcasing everything we love about the progressive sound. Cerebral and kinetic in equal doses, this is electronic music of the highest order.

The broken beats of ‘Prisma Pt.1’ feels tempered, yet the drama is everywhere around it. The glowing staccato bass is accentuated by flowing choirs of synths and lead keys containing more emotion than an entire civilisation’s collective genetic memory. This is high concept and thoughtful dance music.

A deep, rolling synth acts as the intro for ‘Prisma Pt.2’ before entering into an inviting 4/4 rhythm. Once again, celestial choirs and atonal lead keys effortlessly glide across the drums like an ice skater. Halfway through proceedings, the deep rolling sigh synth appears again, acting as a bookmark in another very engaging story. 

The energy is turned up on ‘Valse, a driving tech-house workout that keeps things simple without ever being derivative. Punchy percussion, a bubbling, balmy bassline, and entertaining vocal samples all add up for a massive dancefloor bomb that aims straight for the main floor jugular.'

SDK - What They Want (The Remixes) [XYZ045]
Release Date - 11.26.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/WhatTheyWantRemixes

SDK launched onto the scene earlier this year with the release of their first project - What They Want. With a sumptuous blend of heady melodies and signature vocal hooks, the Vancouver-based duo’s debut on TOR rested perfectly at the centerpoint of underground and familiar. As we step into winter’s grasp, we’ve revisited the project with a revamped touch from two of the scene’s finest; we present What They Want (The Remixes).

Armen Miran is a vital pillar of the deep & melodic scene. With his distinct blend of organic folk tones atop powerful electronica, he’s the godfather of Armenian deep house. Through releases on his own imprint Hoomidas, he’s inspired so many modern producers. We enamoured to welcome him to XYZ, as he whisks What They Want in classic style. Playful house drums get us moving, while ominous synthetics envelop the groove. The vocal chops ebb too and fro throughout the arrangement, with big dancefloor moment’s a-plenty within this Armen masterclass.

Argentina’s invigorating pairing of Nacho Varela & Cruz Vittor has proven illustrious in recent times. They’ve been producing some of the most vivacious & sought-after remixes and edits on the planet, alongside original material on Anjunadeep and Shanti Moscow Radio. The duo comes through again as they twist What They Want to fit their scintillating sound. Swirling melodics stir us into the groove, as a punchy bassline ignites the vibe. A luscious build takes things to another level, offering yet another Nacho & Cruz weapon for the DJs amongst us.

'A legendary figure within the underground dance scene, Savvas has been involved in electronic music for three decades. A veteran of the DJ circuit and a production career dating back to a 2011 debut, the Greek artist has been a familiar sight on the likes of Anjunadeep, The Purr and 3rd Avenue. A trio of remixes for Proton Music have seen reworkings of Erdi Irmak, Rick Pier O'Neil and GMJ as Savvas now releases his debut EP on the label with "Reminisce".

A sonic triumph with a beautiful melodic narrative, the title track lilts enticingly along its 9-minute journey with a delicately flowing lead line. Beautiful piano phrases add to the sonic tapestry as breathy vocal and complementary motifs create a stunning work. A rolling rhythmic groove and deep kick provide the backdrop for "Momentum" to continue the rich melodic atmosphere as free-flowing lines and subtly plucked guitar themes resonate gently. Through a beautiful combination of counterpoint phrasing the track oozes class and craftsmanship. Characterised by a glorious broken beat rhythm, "Reflections" harkens back to a bygone era of progressive breaks as sublime melodies flow, juxtaposed to a chunky rolling cadence. Full of delicate touches that evolve and blossom over the 6-minute piece, the track hypnotises with a repetitive sonic beauty that culminates in a powerful woodwind sequence post breakdown.'

Madloch’s Sound Avenue enters 2022’s second quarter by welcoming Jean Calliou back to the label for a new EP. First emerging in 2016, the Swiss artist 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 on the strength of 2021’s ‘Departure Unknown’, Jean makes a welcome return to Sound Avenue with a sprawling five-track showcase entitled ‘Simplon’.

Beginning with the title selection, Jean furthers the sentiment that his compositions drift above the rest of existence. Whether it’s the hauntingly layered musical fragments or the sleek, meditative framework which houses his dusty percussive arrangements, there is a whimsical lean to his work that you just can’t ignore. The deliberate groove and haunting vocal phrases of ‘Down’ find Jean at his creative best. Perhaps less direct than some of his previous work, the end result is one of equal depth, where notes ring out in timeless suspension, resonating against a backdrop of colourful electronics. Meanwhile, ‘Feathered Serpent’ lightens the mood with its charismatic charm and laid back, yet youthful exuberance. Jean’s masterful coaxing of incandescent tones, soulful plucks and rolling organics fuels what is a charming eight-minute jaunt. 

Bypassing the collection’s halfway point are the slow burning vibes of ‘Hora’. Four minutes of glacial grooves and shape-shifting textures put the listener in a tranquil state, only to go further down the meditative rabbit hole as thoughtful vocal fragments and drone-like lines emerge for a suitably spaced-out finale. ‘Myst’ sits as the collection's most heartfelt composition and appropriately lands as its fifth and final selection. Wavy arps, fluttery sonics and creamy piano stabs unite for a reflective storyboard, one which invites you to surrender to its captivating power and ultimately puts a stamp on this resounding collection.

As always Hug Records introduces the artist behind the music with three questions about themself.  In this case  Nugi:

Who is your hero?
Being born in a post-heroic society, this question is quite hard to answer! I'm looking up to many great musicians and artists that inspire me, and people that walk their own path and do the things they love. Could also be someone picking up someone else's trash from the floor.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I just moved to a little community space in the mountains, far away from noise and light polution. This is pretty much where I want to be :) ok, a beach would be awesome here!

What was your favorite school subject?
Art! Loved it so much that I found a way to make it useful for others too. I've been working as a graphic designer ever since ;)
