Releases Sistersweet – Birchwood Road [RKP] By Release Promo Posted on 5 days ago 9 min read 0 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Reddit Share on Linkedin Ruben Karapetyan’s RKP continues a strong start to the year by welcoming Sistersweet to the label for her debut EP. Hailing from Russia, Sistersweet first emerged in 2021, recording 'Bali River' alongside side progressive house phenomenon Kostya Outta. Released via Balkan Connection, the track would set the course for a successful solo career, one where the Moscow resident would add Roger Martinez’s Higher States and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden to her discography, in turn earning praise from genre tastemakers Cid Inc, DJ Ruby, Emi Galvan and Ezequiel Arias, amongst others. Also highly regarded as a DJ, Sistersweet not only hosts her own weekly radioshow 'LUCH i SVETA' via Russia's popular Megapolisnight station, but is also well travelled, having performed from Ibiza to Sri Lanka to the far east. With 2024 being one of Sistersweet’s most creative and prolific years to date, the Russian artist now begins 2025 on a strong note, debuting on RKP with ‘Birchwood Road’, alongside remixes from Digital Mess and Paul Thomas. The title selection finds Sistersweet operating her best as she layers looping vocals and luminous tonal themes over warm rippling grooves and layers of buoyant percussion. Orbiting effects sweep across the stereo field as the main break commences, smoothly flowing through emotive phrasing, before a wave of cosmic qualities unveils a driving finale. The companion piece ‘Sister's Mantra’ sits as a worthy complement, one where the Russian artist continues to survey club-effective progressive frameworks. Anchored by muscular beats and a warm buzzing bassline, Sistersweet unveils a veritable smorgasbord of colourful effects and poignant vocal phrasing, painting what is a gorgeous array of bucolic audio that is nicely suited to the morning hours. Making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Birchwood Road’ is Digital Mess. Hailing from Russia, Digital Mess has been a fixture of the progressive house scene for the better part of two decades. The Tver resident first rose to prominence with a string of early projects for System Recordings, where he established a dark, cutting edge production style that made him a name to watch going forward. With an enthusiastic attitude towards experimentation, coupled with extraordinary creative vision, the next decade-plus would see Digital Mess continue to refine his sound, always remaining club-effective with standout releases via Constellation Music, Mango Alley and WARPP. With 2024 being highlighted by a well-received debut for Higher States, Digital Mess now adds RKP to his resume with a killer rendition of ‘Birchwood Road’. The Russian artist flexes his creative vision here, dialling in a sleek hypnotic rework complete with deep chunky grooves, evolving atmospheric concepts and a surreal sounding break that is sure to captivate the dancefloor. The release concludes with Paul Thomas making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Sister's Mantra’. With a career that spans the better part of two decades, British producer Paul Thomas has firmly etched his place in the history of progressive music. Early projects for SIZE Records and SPINNIN' made the London resident a top tier talent from the outset, who would go on to record projects for Armada, Black Hole, Perfecto and Vandit Records, amongst others. Continuing to evolve and perfect his craft, Paul would experience an evolution in sound across recent years, one that would find the UK artist focusing more on the deeper spectrums of progressive house, a sound which he has been showcasing via his UV imprint to great success. Continuing on this explorative path as 2025 begins to take shape, Paul adds RKP to his resume with a stunning rendition of ‘Sister’s Mantra’. Opting for a contemporary club-effective approach, Paul’s spacious swing heavy grooves, panoramic effects and hazy vocal mutations make this ideal for the peak-time hours, when emotions are at their most receptive, putting on a resounding stamp on other quality offering from Ruben Karapetyan’s RKP.
