Active Child – Johnny Belinda (Pablo Bolivar Celtic Soul Remake) We've assembled an all-star crew of artists to remix an incredible original by Active Child. Everyone truly brought their A-game, and the results speak for themselves. Many timeless dance floor moments are sure to come from this release. MDK is a new project by someone responsible for some of the most iconic tracks in the past 10 years. The man behind it is none other than Matthew Dekay. Joining him is another legend, known for his emotional and unique approach, someone taking a no-compromise approach to production and sound quality, a man that needs no introduction – Stimming. As chance would have it, a couple more of our dear friends wanted to join this project, upon hearing about it, quickly turning it into a mini-album. Dave DK's Pacific Ride is a melodic journey, while his stripped down Topanga Dub goes into darker territory. This one will be right at home in the desert or a warehouse, just the way we like it. Pablo Bolivar rounds things out with a serious four to the flo Read More
Kymatik – The Ultimate Answer incl. Martin Roth Remix [Afterglow] Afterglow Deep returns this week with a stunning new single from Kymatik alongside a remix from Martin Roth. Since debuting the Kymatik alias, Torsten Fassbender of Wellenrausch fame has found a unique sonic space, one where emotion and groove is at a premium. In addition to recently completing work on the new Native Instruments Maschine Expansion ‘Deep Matter’, the Berlin based artist has also showcased his music on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Paul Hazendonk’s MNL imprint. Now returning to his comfortable home of Afterglow, Kymatik presents some of his most inspired work to date in ‘The Ultimate Answer’. Torsten’s cutting edge design skills are evident from the track’s early moments as a heavily processed vocal works some sensory magic over muted beats and a warm, wobbly low end. Delicate tonal accents and meandering atmospheres complement the rippling low end perfectly, resulting in a spacious, charming slice of electronic music. Tensions do rise momentar Read More
Cid Inc. – Abyss [Replug] Beginning 2018 by remixing two of the industry's most revered talents in Nick Warren and Jerome Isma-Ae, Cid Inc now presents his first original project of the year. 'Abyss' is the hugely anticipated follow-up to the Finnish artist's chart topping progressive anthem 'Shifter'. A staple in the sets of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren all throughout 2017, it sat comfortably as one of the genre's best by year's end. From stripped, punchy beginnings 'Abyss' retains the progressive techno ethos Cid Inc. was instrumental in creating almost a decade ago. Encased in a crisp rhythmic shell, warm bass swells and machine gun cadence drive the foundation. The storyboard evolves with delicate melodic lines and impassioned overlays, eventually melting down into a euphoric break. As the melodies blossom an intensely emotive crescendo is reached as a soulful wail summons a powerful final act. The companion piece 'From Within' finds Cid Inc. exploring dreamier textures and wistful sonic ta Read More
PREMIERE: AFFKT – Laberinto [Suara] “Fosc” is a track that arises from my fascination for Bugge Wesseltoft’s music. I really like his compositional work; the way he inserts darkness with flashing lights and bittersweet notes, Bugge is able to touch your heart and soul. I caught that inspiration but bringing it to my own ground, a more Techno sound. “Laberinto” is quite difficult to describe, it is a mishmash of influences in which everyone could perceive my sometimes passion for organic sounds. This cut was originally composed while improvising with the synthesizer and it is fully inspired by classic horror films. Both are very different from each other, at the same time are tracks that complement each other very well. There is an important balance between layering synths with more acoustic sounds. I have tried to build on this EP a 'glue' to stick sounds and feelings together. “Fosc” and “Laberinto” are slow-cooked compositions, music pieces stimulated by a personal maturation and evolutionary g Read More
Stereo Underground – Words To Treasure Feat. Sealine [Crossfrontier Audio] Blasting out into the unknown, Crossfrontier Audio are excited to announce a brand new EP from Stereo Underground. Having blown us away with his release Sleepless previously, we've brought him back this fantasttic selection of tracks: Words to Treasure. Tightly packed with 2 original works and a dub, we're like a kid being treated to ice cream, as these two pieces are everything you'd expect from a sweet taste of raspberry ripple. Maintaining himself since his last release with us, Stereo Underground has been a busy guy touring and producing, and now we've happy to provide you with his latest offering of deeply evocative electronica. The opening self-titled cut is a whirl of simple yet uplifting melodies, let your mind drift on... and out, listen to the lyrics and be swept away into the lush sounds of Stereo Underground, steadily rising into redolent thoughts - the stunning vocals provided by Sealine. Swerving into the second cut The Faceless Man, we're given a highly rewardi Read More
Luka Sambe – Sooti (Eli Nissan Remix) [Lost & Found] As Guy J’s exceptional Lost & Found imprint reaches the milestone 50 releases, they look back at 3 moments which have made the label so successful. Bristling with talent, the label has showcased the amazing Israeli progressive scene like no other. First up comes long time friends and collaborators, Sahar Z and Navar with their 2017 smash, When We Face Reality re-edited by an inspired Khen. Deep, soulful and utterly beguiling, the melodies soar in melancholy wonder. Khen is the next artist to get the remix treatment, this time from Belgian superstar Hermanez. Focusing on Khen’s incredible sound design, Hermanez builds a uniquely melodic groover from all manner of percussive sources. Finally, Luka Sambe’s Sooti, here gloriously reimagined by Eli Nissan. The most uptempo of the trio, Eli weaves a nuanced tail with sweeping sonics, deep pads and cleverly orchestrated toplines. ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstr Read More
