Arthur Minnahmetov - In Your Soul EP [SMD083]

The 83th release on Suffused Music welcomes Arthur Minnahmetov back to the label for his third appearance. The Russian producer made his label debut in May of 2014 with 'Why'. Originally released on the hugely popular 'Initializing 2014 Volume 2' compilation the track later received a full release alongside remixes from Audio Noir, Nicolas Agudelo and Spitsyn. It capped off what was an excellent year for Arthur; one that saw him carve out his own moody, melancholic take on progressive house which became highly sought after in the underground. Arthur now presents his first ever Suffused Music artist EP entitled 'In Your Soul'. Included on the release are three brand new original productions which showcase Arthur's fresh 2015 sound.

The title track 'In Your Soul' leads the EP off with a much deeper groove than what we've heard from Arthur in the past. It's housey rhythms are sure to be a delight on the dance floor and a selection of progressive minded designs makes for a heady experience. The main break proves to be the ideal centrepiece with shimmering motifs and floaty harmonies creating an unforgettable vibe. The track's rousing conclusion leads perfectly into the EP's second selection 'Sleep Ocean' which may be one of Arthur's most poignant creations to date. Backed by a bed of well carved bass tones this is one track which carries an immense dance floor sensibility straight away. Ghostly harmonics highlight the top end and seem to rise higher as the atmosphere grows. A stripped down middle section builds much anticipation and a third act decorated with orchestral-style swells and layered beats delivers one of the EP's best moments. The third and final selection 'Vishva' finds Arthur crafting an even funkier progressive house cut. Highlighting the mix are great bass hooks, glimmering percs and ethereal sonic's all of which take the vibe of the EP even higher and leave you wanting to hear more. Excellent stuff from Arthur who continues to impress as 2015 unfolds.
