Dofamine - Metropoliten EP incl. Altek, Loco-Volver, Pacco & Rudy B [SMD195]

The 195th release on Suffused Music welcomes Dofamine back to the label for a new single. The Russian artist last appeared on the Lithuanian imprint in November of 2015 with a remix of ‘Neptune’ by Alfonso Muchacho. Now following releases on Balkan Connection’s BC2 and Bonzai Progressive Dofamine makes a welcome return to Suffused Music with ‘Metropoliten’ alongside remixes from Altek and Loco-Volver. 

Since making the transition from Reflection Soul, Dofamine’s sound has blossomed. His latest production ‘Metropoliten’ goes deep with soulful vocals and warm atmospherics. On a back bone of fuzzed out, rumbling bass runs a cascading motif and stunning effects. Smooth chord changes and wonky modulation make for a quirky yet highly emotive journey that might be the most creative work of Dofamine’s career.

The first interpretation of ‘Metropoliten’ is provided by Altek who is returning to the label for his fourth appearance. The Mexican born, US based artist is fresh off a remix of Ewan Rill’s ‘Celebration’ and also owns production credits on Green Martian and DrizzlyMusic. Always a proficient remixer, Altek puts his own unique twist on 'Metropoliten' taking the track into peak time territory. With the tempo and rhythmic core coming up several notches so too does it's grandiose flair. The main elements have been reprocessed to perfection as vocal phrases and synth overlays continue to lift the vibe higher. Sealing the tracks cosmic appeal is an astral break full of emotive moments capped by a fluid energy bridge and exhilarating finale. 

The second interpretation of 'Metropoliten' is provided by Loco-Volver who is making his fifth appearance on the label. The Swiss artist has been quiet this year with just two new productions making his remix here all the more anticipated. Clocking in a ten magical minutes it's a journey into luminous melodies and free flowing grooves. Drawing on trance sensibilities the synth work is gorgeous; smooth, emotive and ever changing, ultimately coming to a climax during an aquatic sounding break.

The third and final interpretation is provided by Pacco & Rudy B who are making their third appearance on the label. The Croatian duo last appeared on the Lithuanian imprint in August of this year with a remix of 'We're Good Together' by Tim Robert. Subsequent releases on A Must Have, Balkan Connection and One Of A Kind have all been sensational keeping their mantra as one of the most talented duos in the progressive underground firmly intact. Here they take ‘Metropoliten’ into emotive territory for one of their most magical remixes of the year. It's liquid-like groove is immediately captivating, swinging softly with immaculate curves before a series of chord changes initiates the main break. The duos emotional touch is perfect once again as shifting tones radiate and a gentle wall of white noise provides an energy bridge to a gorgeous finale. A stunning remix from Pacco & Rudy B which caps off another well rounded release for Suffused Music.
