Amir Telem – Look Inside | Act of Love [Clubsonica Records]

Clubsonica Records rounds out the month of November by welcoming Amir Telem to the label for his debut EP. Famed for releases via Kindisch, Movement Recordings, UV Noir and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Israeli artist Amir Telem has continued to delight fans with his unique take on electronic music. Equally adept at creating organic, melodic or progressive house, Amir's productions are often borderless, appealing to a broad range of DJs and in turn finding a place on the world's largest dance floors. 2023 has seen Amir operating at his most creative and prolific, landing standout projects for EIN2, Joof Aura, Mango Alley, Manual Music, Rebirth and more. Now, adding Clubsonica to his resume, Amir debuts on the label with 'Look Inside | Act of Love', alongside remixes from Santiago Luna and Agustin Ficarra.

Continuing to find a cohesive balance between progressive and melodic house, Amir's 'Look Inside' lands as one of his most emotive tracks of the year. Geared towards a peak time dance floor, the Israeli's muscular grooves, poignant synth phrasing and heartrending overlays unite in a colourful marriage, ultimately leading to a captivating break. A delicate arp and orbiting effects take centrestage across the interlude, building emotion with each successive pass, before tasteful modulation cues a pulsating drop and transcendent finale. Beneath the powerful waves of 'Look Inside' lies the equally poignant sounds of 'Act of Love'. Presenting a confident club energy from the start, Amir's wispy sonics, vibrant chord stabs and airy vocals blanket a smooth key-changing framework. With an effortless drive that could win over even the most discerning of dancefloors, Amir pulls from his expansive repertoire as the main break takes shape, infusing the main melody with emotive swells and precise percussion, as the beats drop for a nostalgic final movement.

Making his label debut with the lone interpretation of 'Look Inside' is Santiago Luna. Hailing from Mexico, Santiago Luna has been a fixture of his country's electronic music scene for over a decade. His club-effective take on progressive house has found favour with the world's most highly-regarded DJs, such as Armin Van Buuren, John OO Fleming, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Thomas and more; while Armada Music, JOOF Recordings, Perfecto, Enhanced, Freegrant Music and Mango Alley have all been vehicles for his main room approach. Now, fresh off his latest release for UV Noir, Santiago makes an impressive Clubsonica debut with a thrilling rendition of 'Look Inside'. Smooth and energetic throughout, the Mexican artist opts for a big, bold and magnificent approach, for what results in a euphoric six-minute journey. Beefy bass stabs, heavenly vocal wails and a forest of finely tuned percussion unite across the first act, perfectly setting up a heartfelt break. The main theme takes centrestage here, sitting in all its poignant glory, perfectly processed for maximum emotional response, as a rush of drums cues an impassioned conclusion.

The release concludes with Agustin Ficarra also making his label debut with the lone interpretation of 'Act of Love'. Buenos Aires resident Agustin Ficarra has enjoyed a steady rise since first emerging in 2020. On the strength of early releases via Nature Rec, Soundteller Records and Strangers Beats, the Argentine established a distinct progressive sound based around melody and groove; one which would find favour with genre trendsetters Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Tipped as a name to watch moving forward, Agustin would find further success across the next three calendar years, landing key projects for renowned imprints such as Plattenbank, Sudbeat and The Soundgarden. Continuing what has been his best year to date, Agustin now adds Clubsonica to his resume with a dubbed out rendition of 'Act of Love'. Built around a deep thumping framework, Agustin focuses on rhythm and groove across the first act, nicely balanced with a healthy dose of swinging percussion and timely effects. Looking to bring greater atmospheric depth, the main break unveils a cavernous cinematic soundscape, expertly emerging from foggy effects and percussive rides, before segueing into a dark groove-centric finale to round out the release in style.
