Auseeb & Rabiee – Progpoganda [Comet Records]

Comet Records opens the month of September with a new EP from two of the label's founders in Auseeb & Rabiee. Pakistani artist Auseeb returns following his collaboration with Gorkiz 'Macroscopic Ego'; the label's well received inaugural offering from May of this year. This auspicious debut has spearheaded what has been a memorable start for the label. Now four releases in and Comet Records has already established itself as one of 2023's best new labels, making it a potential landing spot for many artists moving forward. Continuing on this upwards trajectory, Auseeb and Rabiee Ahmad combine their extensive forces for the label's fifth offering 'Progpoganda', alongside a remix from Mindlancholic.

Title track 'Progpoganda' lands with a resounding thump and shows just how thematic progressive music can be. With a strong exotic narrative, Auseeb & Rabiee take strong drum arrangements and mystical vocal pads through a fist act that is equal parts spiritual and groovy. The track's strong sense of cruising carries nicely into the break where tension and atmosphere rise accordingly, onwards to a percussive fuelled finale. The companion piece 'Prodigy' follows and only builds on the duo's strong creative synergy. A touch more hypnotic than its predecessor, but with an equally impressive array of drum and textural elements, this is not only a great complementary track but one that could fare well in a variety of longer sets, particularly in the morning hours.

The release concludes with Mindlancholic making his label debut with the lone interpretation of 'Progpoganda'. Although just a year into his production career, Peruvian born, Spain based artist Mindlancholic has already racked up an impressive resume with projects for Droid9, For Senses, Massive Harmony Records, Univack and more. Now embarking on his first project for Comet, the Barcelona resident takes 'Progpoganda' into melodic territory. The vibe and cadence from the original is well maintained here with similarly strong drum arrangements, along with an evolving atmospheric presence, but it's the addition of a strong melodic lead which makes this ideal for peak hour play and ultimately closes the release out on an epic note. Comet Records has found its footing quickly and with a release like this we see just how strong the Pakistani progressive scene can be. Highly recommended.
