Cid Inc. & Orsen – A Blessing in Disguise [Replug] The first release of 2021 sees Replug Label Managers Cid Inc. & Orsen join forces once again to release a three track EP of previously unreleased music, entitled 'Unreleased'. After the success of their chart topping '10' collaboration, which celebrated the label's 10 year anniversary, Cid Inc. & Orsen delved into the hard drives to pull out their most sought after, unreleased tracks from the last 2 years, which had been heard and ID'd in DJ sets around the globe. Cid Inc. starts the EP with the earth moving, acid fueled 'Ground Control'. A 303 ladened juggernaut which evolves and accumulates energy and anticipation over a meticulously produced 9 minute journey. The summit of the track is reached after a nearly 2 minute long break which twists and turns as the distorted filters and envelopes work their magic, reaching their crescendo with a thunderous re-entry which drives the track back to its core fi nale. The second track is the long awaited follow up collaboration Read More
Cioz – Cosmic Noise [Stil Vor Talent] Italian producer extraordinaire Cioz rings in the New Year with his first solo EP on SVT: Cosmic Silence. In his hands, 2021 starts out with an absolute bang as he delivers two firecracker cuts expertly crafted to lighten up those home dance floors. On 'Suddenly Silence', Cioz lets excited synths swirl over a determined, dub-induced beat, reaching a midway crescendo that keeps on giving until it has made all your hair stand on end. 'Cosmic Noise', its counterpart, explodes with a similar palette of colourful sounds that wash over a shuffling, percussive framework shining brightly by way of Cioz' playful love for detail. Let those fireworks fly!

Super Flu & Angelov – ErQ [monaberry] One thing is certain.. Herbert activated the fast forward function! Andhim can use the -button from the keyboard with their track "Better Days" to manually activate the form feed for the party papers. They can only execute this function through entering the value of the amount of vinyl. Super Flu and Angelov on the other hand use the manual backward-function. The -button in their track "ErQ" can be used for the volume regulation module. Apsara also activates the manual backward-function through entering the value of their track "Simply Red" and then push the -button. Zoo Braszil can print the world if he combines his track "Step By Step" with the manual or automatic spec sheet print function. If all the tracks are programmed in the registration, an error will occur. Are you looking for answers? Herbert yet again makes sure you can find the answers you are looking for in the speed of light. Buy: bit.ly/35QJnjg Release Date: 29-01-2021 https://soundcloud.com/progressive Read More
Definition – Raven (Jonas Rathsman Remix) [Definition:Music] 'Raven', the final of the four tracks and the lead single released alongside a Jonas Rathsman remix, intrigues with chants and empowerment just as much as with its determination and fragility. Falling from the highest heights, Raven lets you rediscover who you are when you hit the ground. Carried by a throbbing four-on- the-floor kick drum and covered in a synth-haze that is hard to resist, you’ll float along, fall and rise with the everlasting wave-like movement of human existence. Jonas Ratshman's remix of Raven is just as easy to indulge in as the original. With a strong emphasis on offbeat elements and skilfully placed high-end melodic fragments, Ratshman's remix grows into a slightly more dance floor orientated version of the tune. Bright chords and subtly placed vocal crescendo's inviting in forgotten summer feels are complemented by cleverly layered call-response build up's, leading you astray in a maze of your own thoughts whilst dancing the night away. A mellow kick soun Read More
OIBAF&WALLEN – Atlante [Eklektisch] Eklektisch keeps pushing on in these difficult times for the music industry. Without a doubt, hope and perseverance are words that are repeated in the heads of many of us to continue to add and keep growing until all this finally passes. So the next EP has a lot of that, hope. Eklektisch gives a warm welcome from Madrid OIBAF & WALLEN with their EP entitled Atlante. After a few months taking a breath and some new ideas, without going to the studio due to the Pandemic situation, we finally sat together in front of our equipment and began to work on something we wanted to be special and a bit different from our usual sound so far. Our work philosophy is to always reach new goals and search new sound challenges constantly. The Atlante EP means a lot for us, it opens a new path of possibilities within our style, something that comes from mixing our main genre with breaks (which one we love), deep & ethereal atmospheres and melodic environment. We worked on analog and dig Read More

BLANCAh – Signs Of Bliss [Hiato Music] After the success of Hiato Music's debut, with an EP signed by Binaryh, now it is BLANCAh's turn to leave her unmistakable mark consolidating the musical aesthetics of the label, which belongs to both artists. If Binaryh is the pulsating and energetic body of the label, with songs that look like a locomotive full of pressure and groove, BLANCAh is the sensitive and elegant body, mixing power and poetry in her compositions. So is Signs Of Bliss, her new EP that has two original tracks. "Although we lived such troubled year as 2020, full of fears, uncertainties and concerns, I tried to face adversity with hope, looking for signs of happiness in small daily gestures. Hence these songs were born as my particular manifestations of hope in a better year. " Explains BLANCAh. Serenity is the opening song and starts with a crystalline piano - a constant in the artist's compositions - that continues to solo from the beginning to the end of the song. The composition grows with the entry of Read More

Morttagua – Pallas (Nick Warren & Nicolas Rada Remix) [Timeless Moment] Morttagua brings his first single of the year with the deep and mellow “Pallas”. Pallas is a track with long history on the making as Morttagua produced the first version of the track in early 2016. Initially the track wasn’t planned to be released, but Morttagua showed it to the legendary Luciano, when both were sharing a studio session in Switzerland in 2018, and it immediately got an amazing response from him. When getting this important feedback from Luciano Morttagua finally decided to release the track and was just waiting for the right moment. Now with the Organic House genre making big waves on the scene, Morttagua found it a perfect time to release the track. Pallas is a very melodic peace of art with harmonic pianos, strings and guitar melodies surrounding a soft ethereal vocal. On top of the very emotional feel of the track, Morttagua adds a very unique percussion work to make PALLAS literally go through our six senses. On the Remix duties for PALLAS we br Read More
