Deng & Slavak – Dreamland EP [Mistique Music] – Review

Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic’s Mistique Music returns for this week for a new single from Deng & Slavak. Denis Gusev & Slava Budyukin make up the Russian duo and this is their 3rd appearance on Mistique. Their last single Legend Of Ararat was one of our favourite Mistique releases this year and their new one entitled Dreamland promises to be just as good.

Deng & Slavak are two of the best at crafting those gorgeous ethnic sounding productions with a lot of soul. The wailing vocal samples and haunting musicality blends in perfectly with their intricate progressive groove. Dreamland carries all these great traits and it’s one of those perfect tracks for the morning of a psychedelic festival. We like it even more than Legend Of Ararat and you probably will too. The duo have also provided a second Drive interpretation which is touch more melodic and perhaps more psychedelic. It is absolutely beautiful and in our opinion even better than the original, great work from Deng & Slavak.

The first remix is provided by Domased Electronica who has been one of this year brightest stars in progressive house. The Slovakian producer returned to the scene after a bit of break and has been delivering some of the strongest tracks of the year for Mistique, LuPS and Elliptical Sun. For his Dreamland interpretation Domased Electronica has crafted a percussive peak time rocker. He is marvellously reworked the vocal wails and incorporated the soulful instrumentation in such a way that it is still going to be perfect for the dance floor. Expect a huge moment following the break when the stripped down groove drops back in along with the full vocal complement. Another massive production from Domased Electronica.

The final remix on package comes from Stanisha who we have been raving about for years now. Easily one of the most creative producers in the underground who is still lately unrecognized for his talents. Stanisha’s Wake You Up interpretation of Dreamland closes the release out on a strong note. The vocal has been processed into a morphing gate that is incredibly cool and the swirling spacey synths that lead into the main breakdown are sensational. The tough beats comeback in strong after the drop and a drive towards a short broken beat section where the melodic content of the record expands dramatically. The final third of the track is likely one Stanisha’s most gorgeous constructions to date. The vocal wails become incredibly emotional layered over a bed of newly introduced electronics which sound out of this world. An all round amazing package from Mistique that is not to be missed.

It’s with great pleasure we present you the next ESR release, a really strong original with 3 massive remixes included also. This time we are apply to present you the rare talent behind the alias of Napalm.

With a calm relaxed progressive production, filled with smooth kicks, deep pads and swirrling bass chords, this laid back melody bound production is nothing less than pure progressive love that we are thrilled to see out on Elliptical Sun Recordings.

On remix duty you will face a great line-up, with the always creative Andrew Phillipov first up with one of his classic progrssive breaks interpretations. As alwyas he shows the importance of being creative with percussion, build massive melodic hooks and introduce a groovy bass line, we love it.

Next out is a great clubby production from one of the rising stars on the progressive scene, Russian producer Javanny. He gives the track a whole other dimension here, including more uplifting layering of sounds, to give the release one more direction. Big sidechained pads, smooth melodies and an overall lovely texture.

Last out is a clever take from Slovakian producer Domased Electronica. He brings a more mysterious production to us here, including a rich mixture in sound design. Be ready for deep twists and turns, including cool pads, groovy percussions and smooth melodic hooks.

Ilya Deep & Jacco@Work – My Little Girl [LuPS Records] – Review

It is time for the first collab track between Ilya Deep and Jacco@Work. You can easliy hear who produced what in this track. Ilya took care of the atmospheric melodylines and Jacco took care for the beats and bassline and additonal fx’s. All together this leads to a unique blend of styles. Their team up turned out into a moody, melancholic but yet atmospheric prog house track with Tech House beats and crispy percussion.

The first remix comes from Fake Truth. His remix is not so average. It takes off with an eerie synthline and a lazy broken beat structure filled up with a deep slappy bassstab and swirlling bubbling sound fx’s. As the track moves forward the beats are turning into a more  4 to the floor structure to turn back again halfway the track into a breakbeatstructure during the breakdown of the track. At the end things are becoming more Tech Prog with a pounding dark groove. As said not an average track but surely a great chill out tune which adds some magic to the dancefloor as the end of the track brings back the full energy.

The second remix comes from Fiddler. He is rapidly making name and fame in the today scene with his more old school bassed prog house sound. This remix is no exception to that style. It kicks of with a bombastic groove with a wide soundscape filled up with some steady percussionlines. On top he placed the arpped synthlines and moody melodylines of the original to create an orchestral sound. This is a great after hour chill out track.

The last remix comes from Domased Electronica. After his very well received The Magic Of Candles release he now brings a huge remix of My Little Girl. It is admireable how Ladislav is capeable to keep up with the pace of delivering quality tunes. From the first note till the end his remix is breathing. A superb groove with a dark organstab as earcatcher combined with a bold deep warmbassline lies underneath a magical musical carpet of melodylines and ambient sounds. This remix goes deep and explores each corner of your human being. Surely when the very well found sample of a laughing young girl hits your speakers and Ladislav introduces a soulpiercing new fluteline which causes the goosebumps all over your body. This is true prog from the heart and a timeless masterpiece. Save the best for last so to speak!!!

Domased Electronica – The Magic Of Candles [LuPS Records] – Review

The 159th release on LuPS brings an Original from Slovakia based producer Ladislav Zajic aka Domased Electronica. With a string of releases on labels like Mistique, Morphosis and Mestiza it is now time for a rocksolid track on LuPS called The Magic Of Candles. The Original version is a dreamy and fragile track with lots of warmth and depth. Ladislav blended together lots of soundlayers and created and enchanting atmosphere with a stunning and dazzling breakdown section which sounds like a fairytale adventure.

The first remixes comes from no-one less then Matias Chilano. His remix is simply amazing and contains a great bassline and crispy percussion which gives the track a great drive and flow. Furthermore to round it all up Matias added a couple of new very catchy synthstabs and voxsamples to create a perfect soothing atmosphere. Once again Matias proves why his name is still rising.

The second remix comes from Bulgarian producer Alessandro. After his very well received Utopia EP on LuPS he now shows up with a stomping remix. He took one of the main catchy synthstabs of the Original version and builded a rocking and steamy groove around it with surely rocks the floor. Also Alessandro added some vox snippets to his remix which gives the whole track a more ethnic flavour. This remix is a peaktime hour bomb track with a rather energetic groove.

Last remix comes from Jacco@Work. His remix kicks of with a rather organic beatloop and a deep bassstab. After 30 seconds a driving percussionloop drops in and together with a bumpy bassline the road has been cleared for a pretty dancefloor friendly warming up tune. Also Jacco@Work added some extra fx’s in the breakdown section like eerie violins, deep resonating space sounds, talking people and a breakbeatloop which turns the track into an bum shaking track after the breakdown.
