Brann (AR) – Blue September [Dopamine White]

Nikko.Z's Dopamine White opens the new year by welcoming Brann (AR) to the label for his debut EP. Healing from Argentina, Martin Branne aka Brann emerged in 2021 with a nostalgic progressive sound that focuses on melody and groove. With a consistent stream of superlative releases via 3rd Avenue, MNL, One Of A Kind and Proton's Particles, Brann would earn praise from some of the genre's premiere tastemakers, most notably Hernan Cattaneo. Now off the strength of his latest 3rd Avenue vehicle 'Our Secret' to end 2023, Brann opens 2024 by adding Dopamine White to his resume with 'Blue September'.

Brann continues to explore his traditional progressive style on the lead selection 'Blue September'. Fluid and energetic throughout, it's a framework of punchy kick drums and rolling basslines which lay the foundation for flashing percussion, crunchy rhythms and ominous overlays to create a dystopian-style vibe. Phasing stabs emerge across the main break, adding a dose of character and tension into the mix, bringing with them anticipatory vibes, as a staggered drum roll sets the course for an energetic club-effective finale.

The hypnotic foray 'Lies Don't Cry' follows and further cements Brann's dancefloor minded ethos. Its rippling drive is anchored by powerful beats and a clever coax of vibrant percussive; nicely accented with growling stabs and a panoramic soundscape to tie it all together. A prophetic narrative proves to be the most enchanting element however, tastefully building to a cinematic monochrome across the main break, before intensifying into a smooth meditative finale to round out the release on a high note.
