Marcelo Vasami – A Fantastic Fear Of Everything (Cid Inc. Remix) [Replug] Argentina is a country with a celebrated progressive house heritage. One of the key figures at the inception of the movement was Marcelo Vasami. First hitting the scene in 2005, the Buenos Aires-based artist quickly became one of the genre's most recognizable names, eventually showcasing his music on Sudbeat and Hope Recordings. He continues to be one of his country’s most popular DJs, having shared the stage with Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and Replug label boss Cid Inc. Having debuted on Replug in 2011, Marcelo now makes a long overdue return with a brand new EP entitled 'A Fantastic Fear Of Everything'. Original music from Marcelo has been scarce as of late, with his last project (a collaboration with fellow countryman Nicko Izzo) being released well over a year ago on Nick Warren's Hope Recordings. 'A Fantastic Fear Of Everything' couldn't arrive with more anticipation and points to being the Argentine's career best work. Entrancing soundscapes combined with a sub hea Read More
Thomas Schumacher Releases 2 track EP on Noir Music This is the final release in Thomas Schumachers break out Natural Rhythm trilogy on Noir Music. Not only did he position himself on the top of the charts with the first two releases but he also put his name straight in the spotlight and into the dj-sets of many of the top players in the techno scene. So whats the next move when you have great success and peoples attention ?For both Noir Music and Thomas Schumacher its a no-brainer; You take it one step further and keep challenging yourself and your audience. The opener Stella on this release is an example of just that. A very emotional string-led track accompanied by relentless techno beats, distorted arppeggios and a big cinematic break to make you pull your hair out from pure joy (i know i almost did). Persistence is a mesmerising acid-journey that digs deeper and deeper in its intensity as it evolves into one of Thomas Schumachers signature breaks. Then the track takes an unexpected turn through a more complex, dynamic rhyth Read More
BOg & Remcord – Ajei (Original Mix) [Monaberry] Super Flu proudly welcome two highly respected artists they've been keeping tabs on for some time now: BOg and Remcord. Hailing from France and Romania respectively, between the two of them they've worked on some of the most on-point labels imaginable: Style Rockets, Innervisions, Diynamic, Bedrock, Atmosphere. Now, for their collaborative debut, it's time to tell some sonic stories Monaberry style… And they do so in luxuriant, restrained and interstellar style. 'Ajei' sets the tone. Misty and mystic; a palpitating sub and kick is enshrouded with humanised textures as synth lines entwine with arpeggiated magic. One of those tunes that creeps up on your crowd without them realising; when everything breaks down and the story truly unfolds they'll be hooked, lined and sinkered to the very end. We move deeper into the two rising artists' sense-arresting world and strike groove gold with 'Roba'. Subtly funky with an alluring vibe that hits you just above the hips, keep your ears ou Read More
Hidden Empire Returns to Stil Vor Talent With 3 Track EP Branko and Niklas, also known collectively as Hidden Empire offer up three original tracks channelling an impulsive and deeply moving soundscape, fitting to their usual approach. 'Black Beauty' kicks in with an energetic groove, massive bassline rolling in from the first bars. Its a relentless excursion into a cavernous Techno territory that rings true to its title. A different slice of powerhouse Techno comes in the shape of 'Build Your Empire', a track brimming with thrilling synths and dramatic escalation. 'Transcending Time' offers a more penchant, yet equally dark Tech expedition, accented with haunting sirens along strings of various suspense-building elements. ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautWEB ► Facebook: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautFB ► Twitter: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautTW ► Instagram: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautIG ► PA Booking Enquiries: Read More

Sonic Future – Ooakland [One Of A Kind] Sonic Future makes a much anticipated return to One Of A Kind this week with ‘Ooakland’. The Brazilian artist made his debut on the Swedish imprint in July of 2016 with a remix of ‘Nada’ by Bonaca. Now following a 2017 with releases on Crossfrontier Audio and Tulipa Recordings, Sonic Future presents his first single for One Of A Kind alongside remixes from Rauschhaus, Bonaca and Jelly For The Babies. On paper this looks like the best One Of A Kind release to date and after thoroughly listening to it I have to say it is. Beginning with the original mix you get the very best of what Sonic Future does so well. Warm, immaculately contoured grooves combined with light, airy melodies and bright, detailed percussion. The icing on the cake comes in the form of trailing vocal gates and character rich stabs which play perfectly off the pulsating framework. Definitely one that's destined for many magical dance floor moments. There are few artists in the progressive underground wh Read More

Feature: WhoMadeWho [Interview + Premiere] Hello Guys, thanks for joining us! your much anticipated sixth studio album 'Through The Walls' is getting closer, it's got that amazing blend of electronic pop / funk that you're so loved for but there are also moments of deep, meditative bliss with tracks like 'Purple', 'Belong' and 'Surfing On A Stone' which we absolutely love. How do you end up with the final selection and how do you go about cutting stuff out? There must be honeymoon period with almost everything you write? TOMAS HØFFDING: in the moment of creation there is always a state of megalomania…there has to be, otherwise you cannot do it… I mean, you are up against the goods of songwriting and producing every time you make a new track. if you put things too much in to perspective at this moment, you lose all your mojo. later, after you have written and produced the track, you step down from the pedestal, and you look at what you created. And then you go really hard on yourselves, the honeymoon is definitel Read More
Serhan Guney – Journey Of The Mind (Original Mix) [Diynamic] The 11th edition of 'Four To The Floor' is here. Diynamic Music's very own various artist series, which is always comprised of four dancefloor-oriented tracks that have one special quality in common: they have all been heavily road tested and certified by label boss Solomun on his countless gigs all over the world. Opening the record is a soaring Tech House train with the catchiest electric guitar-turn-string-turn-choir riff you will hear all year: 'Im So Crazy', originally released by Par-T-One in 2001, now remixed by Armonica. Up next is German Brigante with 'Mango', a thumping bass heavy anthem with lots of old-school elements. The third track 'Choose Life' by Alexandros Djkevingr & Greg Ignatovich has gained a lot of attention through Solomun's Tomorrowland set and features lyrics of Danny Boyle's critically acclaimed film 'Trainspotting'. Closing off the eleventh instalment of FTTF is Serhan Guney with his dreamy 'Journey Of The Mind', an ethereal Deep House voyag Read More
Marc DePulse – Better Be Nice (Original Mix) [Einmusika] Loss of control. Shimmering lights, smelly buildings'corners, a heavy throb in your head. Time doesn't pass, doesn't stop, is meaningless. Your whole body is off-line, your mind blown away. But that doesn't matter because it brings you further and you set the direction. Marc DePulse's second longplayer "Kontrollverlust" will be out in November. Loosing yourself in music, in trance - on purpose or because life takes it's way - that's what it's about. While "Uranus51" is mystical and spheric, a straight way into nowhere, the second track "Her Fragrance" already catches you with dark, dirty bass lines and pulsating beats. Xenia Beliayeva's vocals on the title track "Kontrollverlust" are telling a story about love and sorrow at the same time. Visions, fantasy, the whole longplayer is full of emotions. "Hats Off" starts with a bleeping and continues softly and peacefully. A perfect club tune followed by "Sienka" with this little extra of funk. So now "Better Be Nice" while dark basses a Read More
