Miguel Lobo – Feelings (OXIA Remix) [Diversions Music] Nicolas Masseyeff & Oxia's Diversions label slinks and slides its way into your 2018 with this deliciously groove-laden triplet from Madrid's Miguel Lobo with Oxia himself on the remix-duties 'Physical Things' bubbles and rolls with a shiny bass hook that taps deep into an ageless, heads-down, hip-swaying sense of hypnosis. With added texture coming courtesy of a crucial spoken word sample, this one locks your floor in for the long-haul. 'Feelings' continues to build on the timeless, rolling sense of groove-kissed positivity. Just on the right side of chunk and funk, there's a deep drive coded in every nuance that salutes three house havens at once: NYC's sass, Chicago's bumps and Ibiza's sexiness. Finally Oxia rolls in with a pristine remix of 'Feelings'. Maintaining the flared percussion and deep-swinging allure of the original while adding several layered arpeggiated tendrils and emotional chords, he's highlighted all the best bits and added his own unique, narrative t Read More
Steve Bug & Langenberg – NGC 6240 (Vince Watson Reshape) [Poker Flat] The second single from Steve Bug & Langenberg's new project together serves up another reminder why both producers are held in such high regard. Steve Bug's unwavering dedication to house music had brought forward yet another winning combination on his own Poker Flat Recordings label, this time with Langenberg - himself a key part of the deep house vanguard in Europe. 'NGC 6240' is one of the harder edged tracks from the album 'Paradise Sold' - a techy, urgent work out with rising arpeggiated leads and sense of impending euphoria. Long time collaborator Tim Englehardt drops by to deliver a signature remix - taking the track in a deeper direction and opening up the arrangement to a trippy, tightly wound groove. The techno veteran Vince Watson also shares his vision for the track in another remix presented here - adding assistant claps and percussions and stretching out the drama over eight and half minutes. ► YouTube: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Soun Read More
PREMIERE: Piemont – Endless Sea [Moonless Air] Following their debut release ‘Swung Blind EP’ on Moonless Air, German duo and label heads, Piemont, offer you their second instalment to their imprint with ‘Caress EP’. Kicking off with ‘Caress My Body’, the duo pits together a punchy snare rolling drum pattern against a modular synth stab that slowly morphs and grows into a wide range of tricky synth interludes. Female vocal cuts are chopped, filtered and layered heavily over its driving snare rolls, giving this piece a truly crisp and energetic feel. A driving tech-house groover, ‘Endless Sea’ effortlessly takes the EP one step deeper, constructing a warm ambience through its plethora of floating chords that resonate smoothly against a rumbling bassline. Layered over the top are ominous and intriguing melodic synth lines that elegantly twinkle around the tracks intensifying and warbling chord work. Adding in some tricky percussive work, eerie vocal chords and morphing synth lines, the duo once again creates bo Read More
Speaking Minds & Amarcord – Hit Me [AEON] Speaking Minds returns to Alex Niggeman’s evergreen AEON with his first EP in over a year… And he’s making up for lost time. Following his epic ‘Space Teleportation’ on AEON’s ‘Lost Tapes Vol 2’ these are high grade immersion sessions tailored perfectly for the darker, colder nights. Teaming up with newcomer Italian talent Amarcord for both tracks, the entire EP is a vacation from the senses. We kick off with ‘Odissea’, a track that more than lives up to its name. A total odyssey enshrouded with mystic melodic clouds; it’s one of those tracks that diverts you to places unknown without realising before bringing you back into reality with a blissful bump. Effortlessly dramatic but subtle when it needs to be, this is Speaking Minds at his dreamiest and daring. ‘Hit Me’ is also fittingly titled; a palpitating heartbeat drum arrangement takes the lead before the deft melodic layers develop slowly and cosmically but persistently, driving into the dancefloor w Read More

Guy J – Aurora [Lost & Found] Following his immense ‘West On Mars’ EP on Bedrock last autumn, Guy J returns to his own Lost & Found imprint with two absolutely stunning pieces of journeyman techno. Inspired by the classic trance sounds that he grew up to, Guy J has dug super-deep and returned with something super-special. Musical, emotional, hypnotic: both tracks will take you to places you’ve not explored in years. ‘Aurore’ hits with chunky drum arrangement that’s reminiscent of Deep Dish at the height of their powers; deep, driving and wide enough to carry the weight of the pristine synths, humanised rhythmic textures and melodic weaves, this keeps building until the very end of its epic tenure. Beautiful. ‘Airborne’, meanwhile, is the full trip: almost 10 minutes of locked-in beauty as we glide further and further into a state of unblinkered positivity. Building us up with precision tension, Guy doesn’t even introduce the life-affirming riff until 4.30 but by jove you know about it w Read More

Desert Sound Colony – Sunrise Of My Mind (Denis Horvat Remix) [Fayer] After touring the globe with a three-piece band, Desert Sound Colony, the alias of Liam Wachs, has made a welcome return to his dancefloor roots. His forthcoming EP Tethered is set for release on Edu Imbernon’s Fayer with remixes from acclaimed producers H.O.S.H, The Drifter and Denis Horvat. The vocals of title track Tethered reach out to you like a tribal calling, whilst guitar strings lead into a hypnotic trance that is interspersed with cosmic sounds and clashing cymbals. Wachs describes it as “most appropriate for an after hours session or a sunrise at a festival.” Whereas Sunrise of My Mind is deep and bassy with a broken beat that yearns to be heard on a huge soundsystem. “Somewhere between the dub and breakbeat sounds of Leeds circa 2009 and the weirder side of bands today” he explains. The second track receives two reworks. The first from Dynamic favourite H.O.S.H is layered to the brim, sending the tune to another dimension. Denmark’s Denis Horvat who has r Read More

Together with Einmusik he created “Toyi Toyi“ with a bit more pressure on the keys and the really uplifting style the showed already with “Lucid“ which was released on Doering’s imprint Katermukke.

Koelle – Lost Tribe (Ben Böhmer Remix) [Ton Töpferei] We breathe in the crisp, clean winter air, let your gaze roam and ease into the soft, steady current of Ton Töpferei’s latest revelation: With “Lost Tribe”, Koelle debuts a sacred trinity of floating, thoughtful pieces that take us by the hand without a rush, but with a purpose. The artist makes us give in to the ever-so-slight grasp that emerges from these three works, complemented by a remix of the title track produced by Ben Böhmer. Together they hint at aplayfulness, a melancholy at times - and have pulled us into their very own soundscape from the very first note. ► 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: Release Date: 23-02-2018 ► Ben Böhmer ♫ @ben-bo Read More
