Deersky's Soundteller Records returns this week with a stunning two track offering from Abity. The Argentinean duo have been long time favourites of Nick Warren, having their tracks showcased in his sets and also playing at the legendary DJ's Soundgarden parties. Now making their long awaited debut on Soundteller, Abity present their latest two track EP entitled 'Rain Moog'.  The release begins with the title track 'Rain Moog' which might be the duo's most enchanting creation to date. Deep, wonky and quite musical it's a wondrous ten minute journey to truly get lost in. A running vocal narrative and evolving effects storyboard add a lot to the sultry groove but it's the subtle nuances and delicate, musical motifs which really suck you in. So well crafted, deeply emotional and with enough twists and turns along the way to keep the listener or dance floor fully engaged. An amazing piece of music from Abity. The companion piece 'Cloud Stuff' maintains the deeper approach but comes

The latest release on Hot TuneiK's Hookah Records imprint welcomes Jorgio Kioris and Da Luka to the label for their debut single. Hailing from Greece and Albania respectively this is not a first time collaboration from the duo, having previously released the excellent 'Cross The Line' on Jelly For The Babies and Bonaca's One Of A Kind imprint. Now joining forces for the second time Jorgio and Da Luka presents the much anticipated 'Mirror Mode' alongside remixes from Danny Lloyd and One Opinion. Bloque Music festival founder Jorgio Kioris has become known for his warm, groovy productions and the addition of Da Luka's studio expertise makes this a match made in progressive house heaven. A deeply musical piece, beginning with a gorgeous first act filled with wispy atmospherics and soulful strums. Harmonics play a big part in the storyboard, rising at timely moments before letting the groove breathe, ultimately trailing off into an expansive, cinematic break. It's pure progressive

The latest release on Nikko.Z's Dopamine Music welcomes Paul Deep to the label for his debut EP. The Argentinean artist has enjoyed a strong 2017. His unique brand of progressive music has already been showcased on Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint and Balkan Connection's BC2 division. Now making his much anticipated debut on Dopamine Music Paul presents his latest two track EP entitled 'Consciousness State'.  Hernan Cattaneo has been a long time supporter of Paul's music, having showcased many of his original productions and remixes over the years, most notably perhaps a bootleg interpretation of Alex Niggemann's classic 'Materium'. The lead cut here 'Consciousness State' looks set for a similar fate with its hypnotic motifs and melodic sensibilities. Getting underway with a tough, driving groove the piece builds momentum as waves of percussion and rugged rhythms flow through the framework. It's a lesson in restraint with a short break providing an energy bridge at the three and

The 44th release on Just Movement welcomes Sebastian Busto to the label for a brand new EP. The Argentinean artist has been hotly tipped as one of his country's top progressive house prospects with support from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren becoming a regular occurrence. Now making his much anticipated Just Movement debut Sebastian presents his ' Superstition' EP alongside remixes from Stage Van H and George Fil. Fresh off an incredible EP for Sound Avenue Sebastian now pushes the boundaries of his sound even further with the lead track 'Superstition'. Beginning with a warm, chuggy groove the Argentine works through a variety of dulcet motifs as waves of atmosphere wash over the framework. Delicate keys tantalize the senses before the rhythmic core shifts into overdrive, ultimately leading to a set of emotive chord changes and gorgeous finale. The companion piece 'Hunter' comes in tougher, tighter and a touch trippy as well. The progressive sensibility is strong with cascadi

The latest release on Balkan Connection Tech (BCT) welcomes Jerry Ropero to the label for his debut single. The Belgian born, Spanish artist is without a doubt a legend in house music. With a career spanning over two and a half decades Jerry has toured the globe as a DJ and collaborated with his contemporaries, including Axwell, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Roger Sanchez, Erik Morillo and Eddy Cabrera. All of which resulted in chart topping, genre defining hits for their time. Now making a welcome debut on Balkan Connection Tech Jerry presents his much anticipated 'Deep Beach Grooves' EP alongside a remix from Paul Hamilton. Beginning the title and showcase cut 'Deep Beach Grooves' you immediately get a feel for what the release is all about. Deep, groovy and impeccable production are the order of the day here. Dubbed out rhythms, wicked effects and intricate percussion highlight a strong first act before a timely break builds a touch of tension for a groovy finale. The companio

Cid Inc's 2016 'State of Everything' EP marked a welcome return to his critically acclaimed Replug Records imprint. While focusing on material for Guy J's Lost & Found Records and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, it ended what was a two year hiatus from original projects on his home label. Following a nomination as Beatport's best progressive house artist for 2016, the new year began in spectacular fashion with a remix of 'Pan-O-Rama' by Roger Martinez, also coming courtesy of Replug Records. Delightfully driving and devilishly hypnotic the rework sits as the Finnish artist's lone production of the year. As Cid Inc. has continued to travel the globe pushing his progressive minded sound, anticipation has grown for his first original project of 2017. Once again the stars have aligned for a return to Replug as he now presents his latest artist showcase entitled 'Shifter'. While distinctive in both cadence and design the Cid Inc sound is ever-evolving, proving his musical talent

Praveen Achary's Juicebox Music returns this week presenting new interpretations of Greg Tomaz's 'Alchemic Substance' EP. Originally released in November of last year it showcased the Indian artist at his all time best with two stylistically diverse cuts. Now we see Juicebox inviting Ape Sapiens, Alfonso Muchacho, Erdi Irmak and Marboc (who are all making their first appearances on the label) to reinterpret the tracks for the 2017 summer season. I first heard about Nicolás Ciampone aka Ape Sapiens with his 'Cosmic Archaeology' release on Stellar Fountain. It was actually one of his first productions but sounded like that of seasoned progressive producer. A great move for Juicebox to invite him into the family as his interpretation of 'The Feeling Of Substance' is quite lovely. There's always a spacey quality to Ape's work and it translates nicely here again with soft melodic motifs and an airy resonance encasing the percussive groove. It's bright and vibrant in delivery and

The latest release on John Johnson's ICONYC imprint finds the label welcoming Tash for his debut single. When not running his excellent Movement Recordings imprint or planning some of his country's biggest events the Greek artist does find time to craft the occasional dance floor bomb. He's certainly achieved that here with 'Sepia' alongside remixes from SEQU3l, Clameres and Alejandro Manso. Tash's long term DJ career and time behind the decks has given him a great sense of dance floor dynamics. 'Sepia' is definitely geared in that direction as well with strong rhythmic elements, a smooth melodious groove and healthy complement of sweeping effects. It's a bit more airy than perhaps we're used to from Tash and it's quite refreshing, very summery with some plucky motifs adding a lovely musicality. Perhaps one of his all time best and one you're bound to be hearing a lot in the coming months. As usual John and ICONYC have put together an all-star remixer cast with SEQU3l leadin

Third Son’s much-lauded October 2016 label debut ‘Climb to the Sun’ was the highlight of a fine vintage musical year. As one of electronic music's most creative talents, Joseph Thomas Price has already carved out a unique sound and style, further cementing him as one of the most exciting artists of the moment. A recent string of superb releases on Noir, Traum Schallplatten, Upon.You and his own Polymath imprint have now led him back to microcastle, to release his most bold and exciting project to date, the utterly engrossing artist showcase ‘2042'. This new EP is an aural experiment that demands your full attention, and is the latest engaging, sensory experience from the musical mind of an artist whose talent knows no boundaries. Stylistically diverse over five compositions, Third Son strays from the path of the pure club track to freely explore a more leftfield techno/deep and experimental electronica palette. His journey-esque structures and evolving arrangements lend a v

Paul Hazendonk's Manual Music continues on a prolific streak this week with a brand new single from M.Jane & David Garcet. Having originally released on the Dutch imprint in 2009 David makes a welcome return teaming up with M. Jane for 'Lumpini' alongside remixes from Juan Deminicis and PHCK. The original is quite a unique track, genre defying in a way as it's anchored by a tech house style framework but the flow of the piece is very progressive minded. Add to that some very catchy disco-style hooks and you've got something pretty special. The middle section or second act is where the magic happens, stripping down and building tension as the hooks intensify ever so slightly before dropping out for that big dance floor moment.  The remixer selection is top notch with two of the underground's finest in Juan Deminicis and PHCK adding their own unique takes. First up long time progressive house savant and Hernan Cattaneo favourite Juan Deminicis goes deep and dubby for a w
