Feature: Eli Nissan [Interview + Premiere] Hi Eli, thanks for joining us, how are you today and what are you up to? Hi to all of the music lovers on Progressive Astronaut, I’m in great creative shape drowning in my studio & gigs and planning my next steps. Tell us a bit about yourself, how did you discover electronic music and what led you down the path of wanting to be a producer and DJ? Well as many of you know I started as a singer & a guitar player when I was 14 years old and a few years later I started a funk-rock-pop band named “PORTRAIT”. The band had a huge success and became one of the most popular bands in Israel off all time. When the band stopped I went back to my other youth passion and started Djing in the Tel Avivian underground scene, quickly finding myself back in the studio but this time with the influences from house music that started to rule the clubs in the city. Where do some of your early influences lie? My early influences are an absolutely crazy mix of genres from early music he Read More

Cornucopia – Big Sky [microCastle] For its second release of 2018, microcastle welcomes the mysterious Cornucopia project back to the label for a new EP. The publicity shy artist first appeared in May of 2016 when 'The Day You Got Older And Stronger' was released courtesy of Gorje Hewek & Izhevski's Shanti Moscow Radio. Shortly thereafter came his microcastle debut with 'Pursuit of the Orange Butterfly'. A lo-fi, organic and deeply musical creation that the underground fell in love with. 2017 was met with just one release, 'Letter For Poly' which launched Lee Burridge's new Tale & Tone imprint. Sitting at #1 in Beatport's overall Top 100 the track was also aired on BBC Radio 1 by Kolsch and by year's end was considered one of 2017's best deep house tracks. Now returning to the comfortable home of microcastle, Cornucopia presents his much anticipated 'Forever Gone' artist showcase. Spread across three tracks, ‘Forever Gone’ is a transcendent blend of music and nature, an organic methodology which Cor Read More
Monkey Safari – Smalltown (Hernan Cattaneo & Audio Junkies Remix) [Hommage] What makes everybody's darling duo Monkey Safari so special is surely their authenticity; with their striking debut album ‘Odyssey’, this meant producing the same kind of tracks they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. The result was a dance floor artwork. And while they may be perfectionists, they’re certainly no purists, carefully handpicking remixers they see as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. Split in 3 separate EPs, ‘Odyssey Remixed – One’, ‘Two’, and ‘Three’ will be released in May, June, and July 2018, featuring reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus, Trivmph, and Hommage label co-chief Karl Friedrich Hernan Cattaneo & Au Read More

Björk – Mutual Core (Nicolas Rada Remix) [PAF056] The latest installment in our free download series welcomes Nicolas Rada for his first appearance. Upon beginning his career in 2007, Nicolas quickly became a favourite of Hernan Cattaneo where his original productions and private remixes become a staple in the sets of the storied DJ. Hailing from Buenos Aires, the Argentinean artist eventually found a home on Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden and Eelke Kleijn’s Days Like Nights where his groovy progressive sound has flourished. 2017 proved to be a breakout year, highlighted by his first remix collaboration with Nick Warren, where the duo reworked Upercent’s ‘Pulsacions’ to both critical and commercial success. Now frequent studio partners, Nicolas and Nick are fresh off the release of their ‘Land Of Dreams’ EP, coming courtesy of Warren’s The Soundgarden. Perhaps one of Nicolas’ most sought after tracks of late has been his private remix of Bjork’s ‘Mutual Core’. The Argentine’s fresh take on the piece has been Read More
Test Tone – Aurora (Guy Mantzur Remix) [Green] Following recent disruptive dispatches on Saved and Mobilee, Zoo Brazil & Mark Fanciulli return to their Test Tone project once again…. This time they’re on Joris Voorn’s ever-vital Green imprint and the sounds, vibe, emotion and dynamics of both tracks fit the imprint perfectly. ‘Aurora’ lights up the dance with ageless class. Rippling arpeggios, strident strings and ricochet rhythmic elements adding a little spice of hypnosis; everything sits in its right place with bouncy sense of classic house positivity. Then there’s the case of ‘Rebound’. A bonafide epic that sits somewhere between Garnier and Bodzin and smacks with pink sky psychedelia, there’s a precision balanced sense of theatre and soul in the barbed chords, yearning atmospheres and that bassline that has a warped mind of its own. Utterly mind-melting. Loaded with a lavish, emotion-rich eight minute remix from the equally talented Guy Mantzur, these exceptional cuts don’t just fit the label Read More
