Roger Martinez – Dreamtime / Songlines / Billabong [Higher States]

Roger Martinez's new Higher States imprint launches this week with three stunning tracks from the man himself. With a career now spanning well over a decade, the Dutch artist's transcendent style has long been a favourite of the world's top DJs, landing him releases on some of progressive music's most esteemed imprints in Lost & Found, Replug and Sudbeat. Now starting a new journey, Roger presents the inaugural release on Higher States.

Having spent the first month of 2019 touring Australia the ethos of this collection draws on inspiration from Roger's experiences there. Beginning with 'Dreamtime' we get a free flowing journey of redolent rhythms and effervescent electronics. It's near ten minute running time is fluid throughout, showcasing delicate motifs and organic designs. Mystical yet emotive, these aesthetics are backed by a warm, pulsating groove, underpinning the track and translating it’s spiritual message to the dance floor. Meanwhile, the collection's second selection 'Songlines' comes across a bit deeper with a more spacious groove sitting at the foundation. Smooth and dynamic, Roger's attention to detail is once again at a premium, with evocative themes building subtly into a glowing main break that ultimately sits at emotional core of the EP. Rounding out the release is the quirkier 'Billabong' which once again showcases Roger's nomadic style. Quite fresh and rhythmically buoyant, it's also esoteric in mood and delivery, thus a fitting end to a spiritually uplifting collection from Roger. It rounds out what is a stunning debut for Higher States, with Roger crafting some of his most inspired productions to date here. Highly recommended.
