Argentinian ace Emi Galván brings you his latest double A-side Everlong / Lies, available on Mango Alley from 29th January. One of the leading lights of the progressive house scene, Emi Galvan has chosen fellow luminaries Ruben Karapetyan and Hermanez to remix Everlong.

These incredible two-sides-of-the same-coin tracks balance emotional depth with danceability showcasing a cohesive artistic vision, blending emotion, energy, and movement while reaffirming a distinctive approach to modern progressive house.
Press ‘play’ on Everlong and you will see what I mean. A bright, bold beat immediately starts to make you smile. A sweet, bouncy A-C-G bassline will get you moving in your seat. This is evolution, not revolution, as layers of joyous synth creep up slowly, uplifting you slightly more every second. By the time the arpeggiated synth topline comes in, you’re hooked.

Emi Galván tells more: Everlong explores the concept of eternal life through a powerful and melodic structure, gradually building intensity with soaring harmonies and a driving energy that feels both uplifting and timeless. The track is designed to give you a sense of expansion and connection, making it a strong weapon for peak-time moments.’

Next up is the broody, tense Lies. Starrting with a chaka-chocalho rhythm, the deep sleazy synth bass takes you back below the canopy, where the campfire roars in the clearing. The intensity builds to a clave at two minutes so intense, like you are being gunned down by music. Sublime stuff. From here, Lies calms and rebuilds with a hidden two-word vocal deep in the mix.

Emi Galván gives a deeper explanation: ‘Lies has a more personal and grounded narrative, inspired by the deception of a past relationship. This story is translated into a deep, groove-driven progressive house cut, where rhythm and tension take center stage. With its hypnotic flow and subtle attitude, the track invites you into the darker, more introspective side of Everlong / Lies.’

Hermanez’s remix of Everlong stays true to the original, whilst adding something dark. Whereas the original stays joyous high in the ether, the Hermanez remix lets you float like a helium baloon, before tugging on your string to bring you back where they all float down. Ruben Karapetyan’s remix keeps the dance / float aesthetic, adding to the complexity drum patterns, washing the dreamy synths between background and foreground, with a pivotal buildup around 5 minutes.

Argentina is one of the hottest progressive house scenes in the world. And Emi Galván is cooking in 2026. Make sure you catch one of his shows this year, in South America, Sri Lanka or Croatia amongst others.
