Analog Jungs – Arcturiano Gold [Or Two Strangers]

Constellation Music opens 2025 with a new EP from label bosses Analog Jungs. Made up of Argentinean artists Claudio Cornejo and Gustavo Ruarte, Analog Jungs have been revered figures in the progressive house underground for the better part of a decade, earning praise from genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. The duo's colourful, club friendly sound flourished as a result, finding a home on some of the genre's trendsetting imprints, such as Clubsonica, Mango Alley, Meanwhile, Or Two Strangers and The Soundgarden. 2023 would prove to be an important year for the talented duo, one where they established their Constellation Music imprint and welcomed Anton MAKe, Dowden, EANP and EMPHI to the label as remixers. Continuing to nurture the label across 2024, the year would be highlighted by EP projects from Ivan Aliaga and Tomas Briski, while Digital Mess, Jamie Stevens, Redspace and Rokazer would be added to the roster as remixers. The year would also see the duo continue to be in demand remixers themselves, lending their own club-effective sound to projects for Mango Alley, Meanwhile, Musique de Lune and Zero Tolerance. Now, as 2025 begins to take shape, Analog Jungs return to Constellation Music with ‘Arctuariano Gold’.

Spread across three tracks it is the title selection ‘Arctuariano Gold’ which sets the tone for the EP. Full of charged techno-inspired qualities, the elusive duo smoothly blends thunderous kick drums and muscular grooves with filtered lines and inventive percussive arrangements. Although this looping hypnotism does not fail to command your attention, it continues to evolve with devilishly deconstructed vocals and twisted synth mutations, before a timely shift brings further meditative delights for a mesmerizing finale.

Beneath the striking qualities of 'Arctuariano Gold’ lies the equally intriguing vibes of ‘Magellan Orbitation'. The Cordoba residents expound their lavish future vision here, with undulating basslines and obsessive rhythms blanketing punishing beats and clattering percussive arrangements. Stunning synth fragments marry well with its hypnotic nature, while orbiting effects build to a boil across a tension filled interlude, as clustered drums give way to a prophetic final act.

The release concludes with ‘Messier 82’, a track where Analog Jungs focuses on the progressive sound from which they have built their career. Tinted with razor-sharp synths, remodelled vocals and buzzing stabs, the duo’s unique creativity continues to impress, as they craft a super-charged dystopian romance, all while weaving in cerebral manipulations for what is an unforgettable dancefloor journey to round out the EP in style.
