Now stepping up and making his much anticipated Sound Avenue debut Erdi presents his two track EP entitled 'Journey to the Unknown'. Never one to get locked into a particular sound or trend, Erdi has manoeuvred the waters of progressive, tech and deep house with marvellous calculation. The lead track 'Journey to the Unknown' comes in as another cross pollinated gem that sits as one of his all time best. Anchored by a spacious, chuggy groove it's rhythmic swing is immediately appealing. Airy motifs and mystical atmospheres soon surround the framework as percussive waves drive the momentum forward. A timely break strips things down for a trip into spaced out territory before the primary centrepiece brings melancholic moods. Broken beats and a buzzing decay bui Read More

The Norwegian artist is widely recognized for his unique blend of house and techno. His genre defying sound has remained fresh over the years and his discography features releases on Dark Room Dubs and Hope Recordings as a result. With six appearances, ICONYC has become one of his primary homes and here he presents his latest EP for the label entitled 'Dark Star'. Beginning with the title piece 'Dark Star', Terje showcases his unique rhythmic structures and bold melodic motifs. Dark, chunky and laced with distinctive percussion the first act is beastly, as it's wobbly groove powers forward. Rough stabs along with an intriguing vocal sample carry the track into the break where stripped beats and a calculated build set up an enormous finale. This is quite big for Terje and no doubt a monster on the dance floor. The second selection 'Convocid' brings a wealth of q Read More

Overloque – Kalt Auf Dem Mars (Soundteller Records) Deersky's Soundteller Records introduces another new talent to the label this week by the name of Overloque. The Russian artist began his career in 2010 with an intriguing string of releases which saw an experimentation of styles. A near three year hiatus then saw Overloque return with a techno inspired release on Suffused Music in 2015. It marked the beginning of interesting journey through the electronic underground for the Russian artist. Releases on Clinique Recordings and Progrezo Records have been highlights but now Overloque embarks on the most anticipated EP of his career entitled 'Kalt Auf Dem Mars'. For all of the arpy techno lovers out there you're in for a real treat as all three tracks feature layers and layers of spacey, cascading lines. The first, entitled 'Fractal' is a driving, pulsating and profoundly powerful piece. Relying heavily on waves of arps and building atmospheric tension it sounds absolutely enormous before stripping down into the main break. Goi Read More
Bob The Groove – Z Odissey Part II (Astrowave) Hungary's Astrowave imprint returns this week with a very cool EP from Bob The Groove. The French artist is making his second appearance on the label while also having released once on parent label Stellar Fountain. His debut for Astrowave came in December of last year which was part 1 of his 'Z Odissey' themed series. Since then we've seen great productions come courtesy of PHW Elements and Bonzai Music which have found their way into the sets of many DJs. Now making his return to Astrowave, Bob The Groove presents Part 2 of 'Z Odissey' which features two cuts 'People of the Deep' and 'Raise Your Mind'. Beginning with 'People of the Deep' you get a great feel for what Bob The Groove is all about. Smooth, driving lines, mixed with hypnotic melodies and ethereal motifs. The first thing you notice it how warm the design is, from the low end to heartfelt vocal elements on through to a gentle layer of cosmic dust. Void of any primary theme, the track pulls emotion from classic ch Read More
Lateral Cut Groove – Except (Northern Lights Music) Northern Lights Music returns this week with a brand new single from Lateral Cut Groove. The UK artist is making his second appearance on the label following a remix of Fernando Olaya's 'Pisces', released in August of 2016. Now returning for his original project Lateral Cut Groove presents 'Except' alongside remixes from Subandrio and Subconscious Tales. It's been a steady 2017 for Lateral Cut Groove, never one to over produce he's delivered key remixes this year for Balkan Connection and ICONYC. 'Except' actually marks his first original production of the year and it's been well worth the wait. Impeccably produced, the piece flows through a variety of rhythmic themes with strong drum work and a cavernous groove leading the way. Deeply hypnotic as well, a looping 'except' vocal sample trails indistinctly through the framework while the main break does just enough to build anticipation without going too far. A pure club track and a solid one at that. The first interpretatio Read More
Michael A – Nature’s Secret (Strange Town Recordings) Strange Town Recordings return off a two month hiatus with a new single from Michael A. The Belarus based artist last appeared on the Canadian imprint with his '2677 Miles/You Pop My World' EP which was released in October of last year. 2017 has been a breakout year for Michael with an appearance on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music and the continued rise of his Genesis imprint. Now making his much anticipated return to Strange Town Michael presents his latest single entitled 'Nature's Secret' alongside remixes from Wade Bennett and Erdi Irmak. As Michael's sound has developed he's become one of the underground's most in demand artists. A fresh, club ready approach is always expected and he's more than delivered once again on 'Nature's Secret'. It's quirky acid hooks immediately burrow into your subconscious as a funked up groove and fined tuned percussion push the momentum forward. Glacial pads make for a gorgeous moment during the track's centrepiece but it's rhythmic flow ne Read More
SEQU3l – Timelapse Remixes [Juicebox Music] Praveen Achary's Juicebox Music injects new life into SEQU3l's 'Timelapse' EP with new interpretations from Matter and Ziger. Originally released in October of 2016 it was the Indian's imprints most successful offering of the year, with the 'Timelapse' original mix reaching #13 in the Progressive House tracks chart and the EP climbing all the way to #2. Add to that, the praise of Above & Beyond, Hernan Cattaneo, John 00 Fleming, Max Graham, Petar Dundov and Roger Martinez and you've got one of the year's most memorable progressive house releases. Choosing remixers for such a project is something you want to do with great care and Juicebox has made excellent choices with Matter and Ziger taking the reins. I've been a fan of Matter since his early work on Underphunk Recordings dating back to 2010. Relatively unknown to the progressive house world at the time it was a string of productions for Stellar Fountain which really opened people's eyes to this great talent. Now four ye Read More
