MakhmuriaN – Burning Man [RKP]

Ruben Karapetyan’s RKP opens the fall season by welcoming MakhmuriaN to the label for his debut single. Hailing from Armenia, Arshavir Makhmuryan aka MakhmuriaN began his journey into electronic music as a DJ first, quickly becoming a fixture of Yerevan's vibrant nightlight and in turn sharing the stage with Alex Niggemann, D-Formation, Robert Babicz and Space Motion, amongst others. Arshavir's next steps were to hone his production skills, eventually forming the Doperfect duo in 2017, before eventually moving forward under his distinctive MakhmuriaN moniker. With a sound that sits in the creative space between progressive and melodic house & techno, MakhmuriaN has showcased his music via Cafe De Anatolia, Somatique and his own Dialogue of Sounds imprint which acts as his primary home. With 2024 already yielding an impressive debut for Movement’s Limited division, MakhmuriaN now adds RKP to his resume with ‘Burning Man’, alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Dave Walker.

‘Burning Man’ further cements MakhmuriaN’s dancefloor minded ethos with its dynamic drive and swing-heavy cadence. Anchored by rocketing beats and percussive flashes, the journey tastefully builds to a wild-eyed intensity of cross-cultural musicality and crystalline designs, carving out a memorable path into the break. With a peak-time energy that exudes spirit, MakhmuriaN pulls from his expansive repertoire as the interlude takes shape, infusing soulful guitar strums and misty atmospherics with a vortex of drums and effects for the ultimate dancefloor rush.

Making his label debut with the first interpretation of ‘Burning Man’ is Kamilo Sanclemente. Long regarded as one of his country's premiere progressive house talents, the Colombian artist has notched a litany of successes over the last decade. Prolific and consistent in equal measure, Kamilo has earned the praise of electronic tastemakers Guy Mantzur, Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Burridge and Nick Warren, while showcasing his music via All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, The Soundgarden and Replug, amongst others. Seemingly in constant motion, the Cali resident is also an accomplished DJ, having travelled the world showcasing his impeccable taste and exquisite programming skills. Now, fresh off a chart topping collaboration with Kostya Outta for Mango Alley, Kamilo makes his RKP debut with an exhilarating rendition of ‘Burning Man’. Opting for a dancefloor minded approach, the Colombian conveys the mood from the original beautifully, deconstructing the main themes for a trippier, yet equally groovy and dramatic version that's highlighted by an expansive break of haunted vocals and intense modulation, making it perfect for those peak time moments.

The release concludes with Dave Walker making his label debut with the second and final interpretation of ‘Burning Man’. Warwickshire based producer, Dave Walker has been honing his skills in the art of audio engineering and DJing for the last 20 years. As one half of The Stupid Experts and on his own, Dave has had many successful releases on various labels such as Balance Music, Bedrock, Forensic and Mango Alley, in turn generating plays across Radio 1 and Kiss FM. Dave’s evolution as an artist has allowed him to carve out his own forward-thinking style of progressive dance music, while always looking to push his creative boundaries. With 2024 being highlighted by ‘El Verano’, a Forensic vehicle in collaboration with Australian trio Keltik, Dave now makes his RKP debut with a grooved-out remix of ‘Burning Man’. Adding further depth to the release, the UK artist opts for a dubbier approach here, focusing on a cohesive blend of swaying grooves and percolating sonics, while tastefully incorporating the main themes during the break, sealing what is a heady journey to round out the release in style.
