Ivan Martinez (MEX) – Puerta Del Cielo [Onestar Records]

The latest release from Onestar Records welcomes Ivan Martinez back to the label for his first EP. Based in Queretaro, the Mexican artist began his career on the Colombian imprint in 2019 with a remix of ‘It Was Ravel’ by label boss Jhonny LP and fellow countryman PINO. Ivan’s groovy progressive minded take on the track set the course future offerings via Beat Block Records, BQ Recordings, Estribo Records and Mystic Carousel. Now presenting his first project of 2021, Ivan makes his much-anticipated return to Onestar with ‘Puerta Del Cielo’.

While Ivan’s early productions focused on a pure progressive sound, a two-year evolution has led him to the organic qualities of house. Title selection ‘Puerta Del Cielo’ follows this progression with deep grooves marrying exotic drums and reflective refrains. Placid pads and stirring tones rise across the first act, bringing with them heartfelt moments which carry into the main break. Spanning nearly two minutes in length, the centrepiece acts as an emotional reservoir, allowing the slo-mo lead to breathe against a windswept backdrop, before eventually segueing into a jubilant finale.

The companion piece ‘Puesta Del Sol’ follows suit with an array of neatly manicured drums and carnival-esque motifs. Dreamy yet powerful, choir-like pads add a ghostly canopy leading into the main break, where a more distinct musical theme rises. Whimsical tones delight across the interlude, dancing delicately and conjuring up impassioned moments as the groove drops for a stirring conclusion. It caps off a gorgeous EP from Ivan, making for a welcome return to Onestar and adding to Mexico’s list of up and coming electronic music talents. Highly recommended.
