Originally released in February of 2016 it presented some of the duos best ever work. Now Clinique invites Imran Khan, Zan Prevee, Hot Tuneik and Jiminy Hop to rework the track for 2017. The release begins with two interpretations of 'Back to the Roots' by Imran Khan who is now a label regular making his 10th appearance. He's turned in a lovely rendition; full of deep, well textured grooves, succulent keys and a delicate, reflective emotion. The expansive, almost cinematic break is a gorgeous interlude and the stripped back drop is all the more powerful as result. Lovely work from Imran. Zan Prevee also provides a top remix, lowering the tempo just a touch but beefing up the groove for a more progressive minded feel. His quirky melodic top line shines while timely drops and rhythmic shifts keep the groove fresh and your attention locked. Closing t

Long noted for his clean, detailed productions Federico now makes a much anticipated return to Soundteller with a new single alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente & Golan Zocher, Monojoke and Paul Kardos. The original mix is another excellent example of Federico's pristine production quality. Incredibly spacious, all the elements seem to sit perfectly in the mix, from a meaty, rolling groove to waves of vibrant percussion. When you've got a framework this good the simplest elements tend to sound monstrous and that's the case with the arp and shifting atmospheres here. Nothing gets lost in the mix and the gaseous effects which spiral throughout the break are a nice, subtle touch which adds drama and tension. A pure progressive love

The Argentinean artist has been noted for his warm, melodious creations but 'Laos' is a bit left of centre. Perhaps a touch more melancholic than some of his past work but with the same progressive sensibility. The piece comes with his trademark fluidity and polished production which makes for a smooth seven minute journey. What's most compelling is the main break and third act transition, incredibly well crafted and with a beefed up rhythmic core to boot. Great

As fate would have it, a creative burst has now led Orsen back to Replug to release his first and hugely anticipated artist showcase for the label. Spread out over four tracks the 'Through The Woods' collection is a sonic journey that captivates every step of the way. Beginning with the deep and roomy 'Black Deer', Orsen explores textural swells and radiant atmospheres. Evolving arrang
