As you probably know, at the end of last year Beatport got a lot more specific about their music genres. For Progressive House that meant out with Hardwell, Nicky Romero et al and in with Sasha, Digweed, Cristoph and Yotto. Beatport's decision seemed bang on point as it coincided with an upturn in interest we were seeing in tough, trippy, musical house. Since then GU A&Rs Kevin McKay & Sam Dexter have been sifting through the GU inbox and asking artists we like to contribute to a series of compilations celebrating this new sound. This is the first volume and features; a brilliant, deep journey from Grum, a spacey epic from (the Pete Tong-approved) Dorian Craft alongside arp-filled killers from Still Vor Talent's Matchy & Bott, Diynamic's Brigado Crew and a load of other new talent. Support from: Jonas Rathsman, Hollen, Dario D'Attis, Eelke Kleijn, A-Trak, hernan cattaneo, Toyboy & Robin, Icarus, John Monkman, Tapesh, TCTS, Grum, Javier Orduna, Marc / Affkt, Mario

The talented German musical maestro Robert Babicz lands with three gems for our audible pleasure, delivered to our ears by Armadillo, the new label from Guy J, Sahar Z and Scott Dawson. 'All Above The Colours' is a mystic al Eastern influenced slab of chilled blissed goodness. Some luscious pads and cool simple percussion add depth to proceedings, and we have ourselves a thing of beauty. Dreamy and warm, and then the beats land... 'History Is BW On TV' is a chiming melodic tinkling gem, with wondrous layers, creating a fantastical soundscape. Thoughts of summers day, lying in a field of freshly cut grass emerge as meeting a trippy chasm of goodness. 'Burning Close To The Core' may only be short and sweet, but its power is in its simplicity. Beautiful key changes and plenty of depth here as this magical wonder unfurls its magic. ► PA Booking Enquiries: management@progressiveastronaut.com ► Subscribe: bit.ly/ProgressiveAstronautSubscribe ► Follow Me On Soundcloud: bi

Music has many dimensions. MONO.NOISE's new 'Ikhonco' EP shows four different of them. The leading track 'Ikhonco' is produced by French DJ and musician EMORINE who presently lives in Berlin. It comes with a dark, vibrant and slightly mysterious energy that reveals the side of Deep House working perfectly into the club. EMORINE chose the name 'Ikhonco' cause it means 'hyphen' - the little but powerful element that connects two words to one and creates a new meaning - as 'the period I created the title was a transition period for me', he says. There are two remix versions of 'Ikhonco' on the EP: One is done by BAAL * and comes rather minimal with a wafting energy that reminds of misty landscapes in the dawn. For those who love it less melancholic, the second remix version by Dan Grassler might be a perfect choice. The track combines straightness, clarity and a great pushing vibe without losing the spirit of the original. After exploring 'Ikhonco' from three different perspectives

PlattenBank Records hits release number 63 with the help of Dale Middleton. He serves up two chunky tracks of effective house music that proves why he is one of the hottest names in the game right now. Middleton has played all over Argentina, India and Europe, has had his tunes played by Pete Tong on his Essential Selections on BBC Radio 1 and counts the likes of Agoria and Sasha & Digweed as fans. He has played at Bedrock parties and releases on labels like Sex on Wax and Flow Vinyl, impressing once more here. The first cut is a spiritual and cosmic number that has many lush layers of synths filled with sci-fi colour up top. The drums are warm and rubbery and the whole thing encourages you to lose yourself in the melodies and look up to the starry night sky. Night Stories is next and is a darker track, but again is a cavernous construction with drums down low and lots of skyward synths up top. It’s epic in nature and expertly produced to really cast a spell on the dance f

Emi Galvan is next up on Baroque. His releases are well established in the progressive community, with previous outings on labels such as Balkan Connection, ICONYC (238 W), Movement, KMT & Clinique. Here Emi lays down some emotive chord driven progressive house, that locks you in & keeps you moving to the end. On the remix is the one & only Quivver, a long time friend of the label & quite simply one of the nest producers of electronic house music. His remix takes those chords, and twists them up around dark broody techiness, and spacey bassline ► 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: Premiere!
