Sanula – Misterious Wind [Soundteller Records]

Deersky's Soundteller Records opens the month of May by welcoming Sanula to the label for his debut single. The Sri Lankan artist first came to our attention in 2021 with 'Aura'. Released via the AirXone Musik imprint, it's deeper midtempo vibe would set the course for a future project on Deepshine Music and a continued exploration of sound. Now working with more of a progressive influence, Sanula debuts on Soundteller with 'Misterious Wind', alongside remixes from CaThY K, Paul Hamilton and Ewan Rill.

The original mix finds a nice balance between the deeper melodic vibes of Sanula's past tracks and more of a driving progressive house feel. Pace wise it’s quite energetic with warm, rolling grooves and hypnotizing percussion pushing momentum forward. Spacey arps continue to emerge leading into the break, while nostalgic chord changes bring further emotive qualities, ultimately flowing through the centerpiece, before a rush of drums and noise cues a classy drop and uplifting finale.

Also included on the release are three remixes beginning with CaThY K who returns to the label following a remix of Paul Hamilton's 'Nothing Matters' in 2022. The Maltese artist beefs up the low end considerably with full muscular grooves setting the foundation for those great arps to work their magic. CaThY adds to the narrative across the break with ghostly vocal wails and more textural depth, eventually leading to a goosebump worthy build and exhilarating conclusion.

Soundteller stalwart Paul Hamilton is next up and makes his tenth appearance on the label, following on from a remix of 'Spiritual Lights' by India's Influence to begin the year. The veteran artist does what he does best here and delivers a mature, club friendly version that breathes amazingly well and knows exactly how much space to fill throughout it's near eight minute running time. The arps get dubbed down here comparatively but do eventually emerge albeit in a less boisterous fashion, keeping the focus on rhythm and groove. Most definitely a dancefloor delight from Paul.

The release concludes with a second Soundteller stalwart Ewan Rill who makes his seventieth appearance on the label. The Sever Records boss remains one of the progressive scenes longest tenured artists and perhaps one of it's most prolific and underrated. The great thing about Ewan's remixes is they always feel different from the original and his 'Misterious Wind' interpretation is no different. Even though the main arps get used liberally, the tracks framework is remarkably fresh and rhythmically very different than the previous versions, add to that a colourful array of effects and you've got another impressive Ewan Rill production which rounds out the release on a strong note. Highly recommended.
