PAUL (AR) – No Secrets [Dopamine White]

Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes Paul AR back to the label for his debut EP. The Argentinean producer has been a fixture of his country's electronic underground for almost three decades. In addition to heading up Metro.FM, Paul has also shared the booth with Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, Dave Seaman and Deep Dish, while showcasing his music on Balkan Connection, TrybesOf, Selador and Sudbeat. Having made his Dopamine White debut in 2020 with a remix of Alec Araujo's 'Manija', Paul now returns to the label for his first original project 'No Secrets'.

Beginning with the title selection, Paul crafts a deeper slice of progressive house that's nicely dialled for midset action. Played out over eight minutes, its rolling groove, smooth rhythms and clattering percussive arrangements come together for amazing moments across the first act. With the main break drawing closer, arpeggiated sequences and soulful synth phrasing rise, expanding the narrative into one of contemplative meditation, before a tastefully tranquil break resets the framework for a smooth finale.

Moving forward to selection two, Paul continues to explore a deeper narrative with 'Burning Soul'. Immediately captivating with its distinctive vocal elements and luminous design, it would have to be considered one of the Argentine's most unique creations to date. Its tactful build and haunted overlays carry nicely into a retro-break, complete with bulbous bass swells and aquatic architecture, before effortlessly shifting energy into a buoyant finale.

The release concludes with 'Want It' which continues the youthful motifs which made its predecessor so unique. Childlike in essence, these chirpy phrases play out unpredictably over a low-slung groove and carnival-esque motifs, while a timely break builds anticipation through slow burn repetition, onwards to a heady conclusion. Also included is a 'Dub Low Beats' version which will be an apt choice for the more adventurous DJs out there. It caps off an excellent three track showcase from Paul (AR), who continues to be one of the progressive scenes longest standing artists.
