The latest release from Magician On Duty finds the label showcasing new interpretations of Rapossa’s ‘Nirvana’.

Now as the summer season reaches its peak Magician On Duty invites Dandara and Staves to re-imagine the track. Well known for releases on Sol Selectas, Underyourskin and Lump Records, Dandara makes his Magician On Duty debut with a stunning interpretation of ‘Nirvana’. Clocking in at around 100 bpm this is a deep, laid back slice of slo-mo house. The vocal motifs translate beautifully, carrying an abundance of soul as a bubbly groove and aquatic designs slowly saturate your senses across the seven minute journey. Returning to the label is Staves who is fresh off a remix of ‘Under’ by Facundo Mohrr in February of this year. The Italian duo hit the mark again with a gorgeous re

Beginning with the title track 'We Rise' the German artist explores spacey textures and trippy lines, all set perfectly on a bed of dulcet kicks. Developing methodically, the lead theme comes to full fruition during a dramatic yet highly emotive break, ultimately leading to a smooth, exhilarating conclusion. The se

The 83rd release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music welcomes Simos Tagias back to the label for a brand new EP entitled 'Revolt'. The Greek artist has been one of his country's brightest stars in progressive house with a discography that features releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Proton Music and Sound Avenue. It has been a quiet year for Simos thus far with just a lone EP and one remix to his credit, thus making his latest project all the more anticipated. For an artist whose groovy, progressive minded creations are renowned by both his fans and contemporaries, Simos may have raised the bar yet again with 'Revolt'. From its astral beginnings you're immediately captivated as tight beats, finely tuned percussion and rhythmic waves converge for the ultimate fluid framework. Spacey yet emotive, the main break shifts the narrative with a buzzing crescendo, perfectly setting up a third act of symphonic overlays, rounding out the nine minute journey. The companion piece 'Pothos' i

Federico Monachesi makes a welcome return to Deersky’s Soundteller Records this week with a new single.

Now following a release for Hungary’s SoulArt Recordings, Federico returns to Soundteller with ‘Unusual Suspects’ alongside remixes from Dimuth K and Berni Turletti. Federico has garnered a huge following in the progressive underground for his melodic creations. Never one to present the most obvious themes or ideas he relies on musical subtleties to deliver a powerful message. Such is the case with ‘Unusual Suspects’ which boasts a musical almost melancholic sounding motif that develops wonderfully over the break. Add to that a big, perfectly sculpted groove along with timely rhythmic shifts and you’ve got a stunning dance floor creation. The two remixes on the project are likely two of the hottest up and coming names in

TD makes a welcome return to John Johnson’s ICONYC imprint with a brand new single entitled ‘To The Stars’.

Now continuing that trend TD presents his latest single alongside remixes from Inkfish and Dowden. Beginning with the original mix it becomes quite apparent why TD has earned the support of his contemporaries along with the industries best DJs. Anchored by a quirky, wonderfully contoured groove it’s a subtle yet soulful harmonic storyboard that immediately sucks you in.

Now stepping up for his debut on one of Russia’s finest progressive imprints, Ge Bruny presents his latest EP entitled ‘Freak/Odd’. The lead track ‘Freak’ begins with powerful drive as a full groove and rolling percussion quickly pick up momentum. Astral effects slowly surround the framework before a crunchy arp adds an electric vibe. An acid line begins to sizzle, shifting the track into a short break where tension is at a premium, before a punishing drop propels the track to an epic finale. The companion piece ‘Odd’ presents a similar energy with a chugging groove and electric synth line. Phasing effects and ghostly vocal pads add a trippy flair as subtle modulation keeps things interesting while upping the energy a

Manual Music’s MNL offshoot lands this week with the Summer installment of is Seasons series. Always a highlight on the Dutch imprints schedule these various artists EP collections tend to be a snapshot of all that is current in the progressive music spectrum. The latest edition finds the label presenting new material from Kamilo Sanclemente, Corren Cavini, Zinovatny, Shelby 35 and Robert Solheim. It would be hard to argue that Kamilo Sanclemente is not the man of the moment in progressive house. Continued support from Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Guy J along with Beatport chart success has made the Colombian artist one of the genres most in demand producers. He kicks off the release with a brand new track entitled ‘Carinae’ which showcases a deeper side of his repertoire.

Praveen Achary’s Juicebox Music continues its strong summer schedule with a new EP from Desaturate. Having previously appeared on the label as one half of Progress Inn, Janko Dragovic now returns for his solo debut as Desaturate.

Upon launching this solo endeavour Desaturate immediately found favour with DJs like Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo. His cutting edge take on progressive music was inspired and his sound has continued to evolve, leading to the dark and powerful ‘Titan’ which is featured first here. There’s always an amazing sense of rhythm and groove with everything Desaturate does and that’s certainly evident on ‘Titan’ but with more of an aggressive tone perhaps. The lo

MiraculuM presents his much anticipated follow up to ‘Positron’ entitled ‘Cradlearms’. In a year filled with releases on ICONYC and Soundteller Records, the Hungarian artist returned to his own Stellar Fountain imprint in May with ‘Positron’. Now following a remix for Alfonso Muchacho and Clinique Recordings, MiraculuM lands on Stellar Fountain once again with a new single alongside remixes from Andrew Case and Riamiwo. The majority of MiraculuM’s tracks come with very distinctive themes and so to does ‘Cradlearms’. There’s something a touch oriental about it and that’s where the mystical vibe comes from. It’s big and beefy on the low end with bulbous kicks and a full, warm groove laying claim to a place on the dance floor. The second act is really well constructed, stripping down to a point where the main theme shines and eventually gets washed over by a pitch shifting vocal that perfectly sets up a massive drop. Huge track from MiraculuM. It would be
