Fully immersed in both French and German
culture, Peter Bonaventura, has discovered a rich seam of music success under
his Oovation production name. Making his debut on Suffused Music, “Nimbus”
follows up a stream of impressive releases on such imprints as Univack, Inlab
and Clubstream Green. With a penchant for “melodic soundscapes” and
four-to-the-floor club fillers, the Oovation sound has already seen support
from such quarters as Tocadisco, Hernan Cattaneo and John 00 Fleming.
A work of rich percussive textures and
subtle shifts in emphasis via pitched vocal cuts reminiscent of “Little Fluffy
Clouds”, a smooth filtered arpeggio provides a tension filled bed for a huge,
rasping bass line to fill the lower frequency spectrum with emotion and atmosphere.
The result is a deep and rich offering sure to enthral club goers.
From Elefsina, north west of Athens,
Stavros Karavasilis has been writing music under his Futur-E alter ego since a
debut for Substudio in 2010. Through his music Futur-E has developed a sound
that is as compelling as the magnetic fields that surround his hometown. A man
with a long held passion for music, performances at local clubs laid the
foundation for later production success on Inlab, ADRO and Plusquam. Taking
“Nimbus” on a textured voyage of discovery through intricate spot effects,
pounding beat and techno infused sounds, a vibrating bass line provides the
basis for a hypnotic riff to shape, delicately supplemented by arpeggio
sequence and clever use of Oovation’s vocal cuts. The resultant effect is an
impressive rework.
A man with a long history of success in the
music industry through collaborative work, Nacho Vargas has found similar
success in the solo sphere using his Integral Bread name. A range of styles and
influences formed his musical foundations, ranging “from techno, to trance and
progressive”. Following invitations to appear on Spanish National Radio and
live appearances including the mighty “Klubbers Madrid”, Integral Bread honed
his production sound and founded the Univack imprint. Working with such labels
as Lowbit and FutureForm, the Integral Bread remix of “Nimbus” is a chunky,
rhythmic affair that offers a dark collage of textured effects, stuttered vocal
cuts and hypnotic beat. Wrapping itself perfectly round warm bass that evolves,
simple melodic elements combine to maximum effect.
Delivering his unique brand of “progressive
techno” sounds from the hotbed of talent that is modern Israel; Sagy Amir has
been a well-respected name with his One Million Toys pseudonym. A regular on
Freegrant Music with his brand of pulsating melodic gems, a childhood spent
learning the French horn and guitar has stood him in good stead for a career
using modern electronic production techniques. A body of work for Mistique
Music, Tulipa and a recent remix of Ben Coda’s Nanoplex project for Movement have
seen One Million Toys hit impressive heights. His use of original elements from
Oovation’s original, combined with a bevy of additional production material,
has made “Nimbus” glitter with a shimmering dark energy that evolves to a
rousing crescendo – certain to fill clubs across his home country and beyond.
An original from Oovation and a trio of
stratospheric remixes sees “Nimbus” flying sky high.
