PREMIERE: Guy J – MDQ (Original Mix) [Lost & Found] Having launched 2016 with his 'Octavia' EP, Lost & Found boss Guy J returns home to kick start 2017, with a new double-header born out of moments in time, inspiration and a quest for a specific sound. "MDQ is named after the airport code of Mar Del Plata in Argentina," says Guy. "I played there with John Digweed earlier this year at MUTE. It's a party on the beach and, for me, was the best I've been to in my life and not just as a DJ." MDQ beautifully recreates and projects the warmth of the sun, uplifting vibes and postive energy that Guy felt on the sand that day. Its melodic charm and passionate delivery lifts the listener, transporting them to that most southern of shores. Diagonal, on the flip, was born more out of necessity. "I needed something with a transitional feel for my sets. A track that would allow me to segue to the next part, up the tempo and deliver a more groovy and seductive magic." Another delicious brace from the Lost & Found boss and a perfect Read More
PREMIERE: Kyle E – Themisto (Original Mix) [What Came First] "What Came First" is a new label dedicated to House and Techno, which has been set up by the people behind the infamous Egg London club venue. One of the UK and Europe's best known clubs, Egg’s weekend line-up’s often include clubland royalty such as Sven Väth, Pig&Dan, Pan-Pot, Anja Schneider and if anything, it would be easier to list the artists not to grace the venues turntables. This new release comes from EGG LDN resident Kyle E, whose distinctively deep and melodic sound has earned him legendary status amongst the clubs weekly attendants. Kyle E is a producer many will recognise from John Digweed's “Live On South Beach” compilation, which featured the Christian Burkhardt remix of Kyle’s track “Arp For You Heart”. Arp For You Heart was taken from Kyle’s first and only release prior to his debut on What Came First and this much anticipated follow up will no doubt showcase why Kyle is a hotly tipped producer. The release also features a remix fr Read More
PREMIERE: Oovation feat. Amber Long – Falter (Juan Deminicis Remix) [Flow Vinyl] The last release from Flow Vinyl was back in July 2016, but don't let the low profile since then fool you: the label has been busy preparing their next trio of releases, which include two from Oovation and one from Rich Curtis, all to say a great 2017 start. First up is 'Falter' by Oovation feat. Amber Long and the wait has been more than worth it. 'Falter' is classic Flow Vinyl material: melodic progressive house, expertly produced with an infectious vocal and enough bite for tougher dancefloors. Oovation is the production name of Pierre Bonaventura from Saarbrücken in Germany, and he has become one of the hottest young producers on the progressive techno scene. After several strong releases, it's only natural that he brings his sound to Flow Vinyl and that the results are very impressive indeed. 'Falter' features the vocals of regular collaborator Amber Long, and it's a mesmerizingly beautiful track full of swirling synths and dramatic energy. In true Oovation style, it has a ha Read More
PREMIERE: Mariano Mellino & John Cosani – Syracusse (Danito & Athina Remix) [Movement Recordings] The 137th release on Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes Mariano Mellino and John Cosani back to the label for their debut collaborative EP. The Argentinean duo have achieved much success in their respective solo careers, holding a collective discography with releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and Lonya's Asymmetric Recordings. Now coming together for their first ever studio collaborations Mariano and John present 'Syracusse/Islandia' alongside remixes from Danito & Athina and Simos Tagias. Both Mariano and John have been noted for their progressive minded productions and with their unique talents coming together they take it to a new level on ‘Syracusse’. Shuffled beats and mystical atmospheres create a surreal environment early before smooth rhythms and a rumbling low end lock down a strong groove. It's powerful, meditative drive leads to a cinematic break where waves of synths intensify over the rumbling foundation, ultimately leading to a huge moment and electr Read More
PREMIERE: Guy J – Been Here Before (Namatjira’s Ode To Jerry Remix) [Manual Music] Manual Music kicks off 2017 with something truly special. Nearly a decade after it’s initial release on Deep Focus, ‘Been Here Before’ by Guy J gets a remix treatment by Namatjira. These are not just a couple of new remixes, but these were born out of the idea to create an ode to Jerry van Schie, co-label owner of Deep Records and Deep Focus, and driving force behind the Groovecollection brand who passed away in 2016 after losing his fight to cancer. In the words of Namatjira: 'After the funeral of Jerry I was thinking I wanted to do something musical to honor Jerry with. It took me a few to know what I wanted. When I opened the old Deep (Jerry & Peter’s label) catalogue there was immediately one track that caught my attention, ‘Been Here Before’ by Guy J. I contacted Peter to see if he was willing to share the parts with me and he agreed immediately with me. I started working on the track and made two versions. I told Guy the story and let him listen to the sket Read More
PREMIERE: Valentino – Flying (Psycatron Remix) [Sharam Edit] [Yoshitoshi Recordings] Last year, we released three remixes of one of the biggest progressive classics of all time, Valentino Kanzyani’s “Flying.” One of those remixers, Cid Inc, actually gifted us with two mixes, and the second is something truly special. Whereas his main mix was better suited for deep sets and small room environments, his VIP mix, energetic and more focused around its groovy bass line, gives DJ’s a spacious track for big rooms and peak moments. Irish duo Psycatron also contributed a huge mix to the first package. Label head Sharam decided he needed something a bit different for his sets, so for the past year he’s been playing an exclusive edit that is now available to everyone. ► PA Booking Enquiries: management@progressiveastronaut.com ► Subscribe: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Follow Me On Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautWEB ► Follow Me On Facebook: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautFB ► Follow Me On Twitter Read More

PREMIERE: Coyu & Ramiro Lopez – Dance, Kiss, Touch (Original Mix) [Suara] Lets start this new year with energy! The Big Cat and an usual kitty join forces for a powerful EP. Coyu and Ramiro Lopez did some successful and productive studio sessions last year: The super tune called 'Clap Your Hands' was released on Drumcode and it was one of the highlights of our guys in 2016. For our label they've delivered another two bombs ready to rock the hardest dancefloors: 'Dance, Kiss, Touch' is about an acid bassline, trippy arpeggios, sharp hi-hats and these 3 magical words. 'Thunderstorm' is a great techno Dj tool, with the percussion section leading the track and a mental synth line evolving over 7 minutes. In a few words, great techno tracks for massive dancefloors and dark basements. ► Subscribe: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Follow Me On Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautWEB ► Follow Me On Facebook: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautFB ► Follow Me On Twitter: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautTW Buy: Read More
