Marcelo Vasami – A Fantastic Fear Of Everything [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 heav Read More

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.

Then the track takes an unexpected turn through a more complex, dynamic rhyth 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

Monojoke – Arterials [Juicebox Music] Monojoke makes a much anticipated return to Juicebox Music this week with his 'Arterials' EP. The Polish artist first appeared on the Indian imprint in February of 2016 with a remix of ‘Sigiriya’ by Subandrio. 2017 has been filled with quality productions for Monojoke, including several collaborations with Tuxedo (as Fluente) which have found their way onto Knee Deep In Sound and Sudbeat Music.

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
Paul Hazendonk – Sanction Remixed [Manual Music] Paul Hazendonk's hugely successful track 'Sanction' gets new life this week with a special set of fresh interpretations. Originally released in December of 2016 alongside remixes from Hernan Cattaneo & Martin Garcia and Boss Axis. It marked the Dutch label's 200th release and enjoyed an extended stay in Beatport's Progressive house chart as well. Now almost a year later we see the label inviting Rauschhaus, Sezer Uysal and Idham to reinvent the track for 2017. One of this year's hottest and most prolific artists has undoubtedly been Rauschhaus. The German producer has seen his music showcased by Parquet, Steyoyoke and Traum where his modern melodic style has flourished. Here he puts his own unique twist on 'Sanction' taking it into dark and dramatic territory. Full of devilish tones, a charming break and a warm, robust groove it's certainly dialled nicely for the dance floor. The drum work is what strikes me the most though, incredibly detailed with offset hits and a web of mesmer Read More

Melancholic and anticipatory in equal measure, it's a well constructed storyboard as broken rhythms and phasing noise lead to a wondrously warm drop and charming finale. The first interpretation of 'Return' is provided by Sebastian Busto. Read More
