Fresh organic dancefloor goodness from the balearic island of Formentera just in time for spring: Massivan returns with a wide smile on his face to skillfully soundtrack the dance of life with an aptly titled quality 3-tracker. The opener is a kicking peak time remix treatment provided by Nihil Young aka Less Hate, followed by a tantalizing deep house smoothie version of the same tune blended to perfection by Dan Sonic. Last but definitely not least, Massivan himself takes his very own beat to the tech main room (at 3AM approximately), infusing quite the punch and some authentic island winter storm darkness to go with it... until the sky is clear and all grey clouds have disappeared. And so, 2018 starts out with an ever evolving pulse: this is what the dance of life sounds like. ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautWEB ► Facebook: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautFB ► Twitter:�

After two cameo appearances on our Showcase Series (Volumes 4 & 6), Namito now returns for a starring role of his own making with the 'Anakeys' EP. For the uninitiated, the Iranian born, Berlin based producer is quite the team player, working behind the scenes on many a wide-ranging project from Marc Romboys lauded live orchestral shows to engineering for the legendary Grandmaster Flash! It's two solo creations though that form the basis of this EP with the title track leading from the front. A prime example of a tune that works its way into the subconscious unannounced and then stubbornly refuses to budge. A humdinger if ever there was one! The 'Anakeys' remixes then come from two fertile hotspots of electronic music, Berlin and Brighton via Kling Klong boss Martin Eyerer and long time friend of the label, Just Her who both bring their A-games with reworks of a truly high calibre. And finally, not to be overlooked, were also very proud to include 'Little Cheat Treats'

Dutch artist Namatjira, known for his deep and warm progressive sound is back on Lowbit with 'Bête Noire' EP. The EP consists of three classy progressive house cuts starting with the darker 'Whakangā', calming things down a bit with the deeper 'Bête Noire' and rounding it of with the more energetic and hypnotic 'Five O'Clock Shadow'. These three tracks really showcases Namatjira's talent as a producer in both the deeper side of progressive house to the more energetic and uplifting side. ► 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: management@progressiveastronaut.com Buy: bit.ly/2oy8stv Release Date: 05-03-2018 ► Namatjira ♫ www.namatjiramusic.com/ @namatjira www.facebook.com/namatjiramusic www.twitt

Drus last so well received output on his homebase JEUDI records was Savannah and Praerie. A contribution to the endless wilderness of the african and american grass fields. This year he was reflecting about the joy of existence and what might be the slowest way to travel Egypt. Which curiously lead to the steadily developing funkyish stomper Mind Parade. Its ever evolving 5th line synth and poetry philosophising about joy leads into a dense feverish drop built to shake your existence. This tune is touching the peak time with pure but sublte power. Egypt Express is the romantic imagination of travelling Egypt. A pulsating sequence is carrying you through the journey. Maybe at the camp for the night you took a drag of this pipe and the synth sequence suddenly turns into a psychodelic adventure. But no reason to worry; the pulse is keeping it together and is turning your trip into a ride of joy. ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAst

Timeless Moment is all about discovering raw new talents and Melody Stranger is definably one of our current favorites in the new generation of Brazilian Techno/Progressive producers. Melody Stranger has had a huge 2017 with support from names such as Solomun, HOSH, Pete Tong and a release on the mighty legendary Diynamic Music. Now the Brazilian talent brings to Timeless Moment a debut EP which is pure fire to the dance floor with the original tracks 'Apathy' and 'Dark Sun'. On the remix duties we have the French star Rafael Cerato making a statement on his debut on Timeless Moment, transforming 'Dark Sun' on a groovy tech progressive masterpiece. On the B Side we have label boss Morttagua getting his hands full on 'Apathy', turning the original dance floor monster on a trippy hypnotic progressive journey. ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautWEB ► Facebook: bit.ly/Pro

SAMA got in touch with me because I was heavily supporting his track Existence from Kraftek in 2017. We met at ADE and since then we have stayed in touch and I have received tons of great music from him. After lots of back and forth and his enormous patience with my picky taste in music, we finally have his debut ready on Noir Music and I am truly proud of this 2-tracker. Curiosity is the straight forward techno-belter with an infectious spoken vocal to compliment the builds and the mood of this awesome tune. Indifference was the first track I signed and the pitchy bassline on this track not only convinced me but has the clubs going mental every time. Even though SAMA is fairly new to the techno scene, his productions are spot on and sound like they were produced by someone with years of experience. I hope you love this 2-tracker as much as I do. - Noir ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soundcloud: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSC ► Website:

WhoMadeWho are that rare thing, a band with their own sound. And their latest longplayer ‘Through the Walls’ adds yet more fuel to the restless, fluctuating bonfire. It sounds as if they won’t cool off or settle down anytime soon and their new single ‘Goodbye To All I Know’ demonstrates that in remarkable fashion. Recorded as one of the last songs for the album in September 2017 the track is actually based on a demo for the solo project of singer Tomas Høffding but “ended up being a perfect choice for the song”. ‘Goodbye To All I Know’ was produced in an analogue way with a lot of different synths and real time knob turning. “And then we added more analogness when we teamed up with Simon Littauer who fired up his big ass modular setup for some great ambient additions” adds Høffding. Rounding things off WhoMadeWho line-uped a top draw remix package for 'Goodbye To All I Know'. The brooding, experimental original is taken to town by the likes of Marvin &

"Humanity", that’s the title chosen for the new original song from Barcelona-based and multifaceted artist Brunetto (first original track since his last album released in 2014 -“Sheroine” on Irregular imprint- and for the occasion featuring Bearoid’s vocals) who mixes electronica, cinematic and futuristic sounds in a soulful pop ballad. There are glimpses of innovative rhythms and his trademark deep, expansive, intricate atmospherically sound. Rounding out the pack there are a host of incredible three phat-remixes which bring the thought-inducing sounds of Brunetto that much closer to the dancefloor. Pure energy and vibrational healing of AFFKT (Sincopat's label owner), analog synths lover Fernando Lagreca & the Swiss Marco Biagini aka Kellerkind, all of them bringing their unique sounds and production genius to the table taking their remixes in a range of new directions. A lot more upbeat and energetic electronic sounds! ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautS

Nick Brennan’s Tripswitch journey through electronic music reconvenes in 2018 with his recently launched onedotsixtwo label’s next unique artistic step forward. The platform’s third, highly anticipated release – ‘Voight Kampff’ – is, perhaps, the finest track so far from the occasional, intensely creative collaborative project joining Nick Warren and Tripswitch. This outstanding package is further bolstered with an exceptional set of remix interpretations courtesy of Cid Inc. and Öona Dahl. The two Nicks first connected back in 2006, when Warren licensed two Tripswitch tracks for his (now classic) Global Underground ‘GU30 Paris’ compilation. Over time they became good friends, with Warren becoming something of a mentor to Brennan, and with their musical tastes so aligned going right back to the 1980’s, it was inevitable that a studio partnership would develop when the time was right. Having first remixed Joey Fehrenbach ‘Wolves’ (The Soundgarden), their pow

Replug Records continues its 2018 journey by welcoming Navar to the label for his debut EP. Through releasing material on Guy J's Lost & Found Records and Canadian behemoth microCastle, the Dutch artist emerged in 2014, firmly establishing himself in the world of deep melodic house. More recently Navar lent his talents to the long standing Belgian Events brand EDGE, launching their new imprint alongside a remix from Guy J as 2017 came to a close. The Dutch artist now steps into the new year with his long awaited debut for Cid Inc's Replug Records. Beginning with the EP's title track ‘You Find’ it becomes evidently clear what a unique talent Navar has become. The near twelve minute opus effortlessly melds elements of minimal, deep house, progressive and electronica, for a free flowing journey that has become a synonymous and inimitable style of the Dutch artist. Deep and fluid throughout, it’s delicate motifs and organic designs are mysterious yet emotive, backed by a warm
