Returning to Suffused Music after a successful remix of Advent's Rising in October 2013, Serbian born duo, Progress Inn, once again hit the musical limelight with their impressive new work, "Rituals". With their music featuring on such celebrated imprints as Balkan Connection, Stripped and Vapour, supported by Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J and James Zabiela, the Australian based pair has continued to grow in stature and reputation throughout 2013 and '14. Full of the "deep" techno and progressive flavours that form the backbone of their sound, "Rituals" is a wonderful journey through strong rhythms and delicately formed vibrato motifs that add subtle dark flavours.
First up on remix duties, Ukrainian, Following Light, is a name familiar to those with a penchant for the underground house sounds of which he has become a prolific exponent. Founding the Inmost label as a vehicle for his own production work as well as a host of others, the Following Light name has been a regular on the likes of BC2, Magic Room and Particles, the latter finding a home for two original EPs in 2013 and '14. Returning to Suffused Music after a remix of Munbraze in September 2014, Following Light takes a typically innovative approach to his interpretation of "Rituals". A strong kick forms a foundation upon which a collage of pitched sounds bend and ripple across a multi-textured bed of pads and metronomic percussion. The resultant work is a celebration of the unique Following Light sound.
There are few modern producers within the electronic dance industry who possess the same credentials as Rick Pier O'Neil. A background working with Sony Music and elite artists such as Stevie Wonder and Donna Summer, success on the US Billboard charts has been a constant companion throughout O'Neil's early career. Turning his attention away from mainstream acts, setting up the RPO imprint saw a shift to a more underground progressive sound that has seen his label's work supported by Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia and John Digweed. A globally renowned DJ, Rick Pier O'Neil follows on from the 5-track "Shimmer of Lights" EP for Suffused Music in November 2014 with a typically impressive remix of "Rituals". Low slung, sultry rhythms are soon joined by the machine gun fire of hi-hats and rasping bass line to create juxtaposed urgency, while smooth melodies echoing the themes of Progress Inn's original are a welcome addition supplying warmth and texture to a high-calibre work.
Serbian, Vid Marjanovic, is the final artist to lend his skills in remix. An accomplished DJ with a wealth of appearances to his name across his homeland and beyond, his sets alongside Petar Dundov, Alan Fitzpatrick and Tomas Barfod have solidified a strong reputation, capped with standout performances at EXIT Festival and Megacin Depo in front of audiences of thousands. As a producer, Marjanovic's work has graced well-established imprints such as Mirabilis, Lovezone and 3rd Avenue with support coming from Hernan Cattaneo, Soundexile and Guy J. Making his first appearance for Suffused, the Vid Marjanovic remix of "Rituals" is a deep and contemplative progressive offering with strong house beats combined with delicate melodic interplay. Multiple layers of rich texture add further to the overall feeling of reflection as Marjanovic turns in an impressive debut.
A trio of remixes from some fine modern producers has ensured the "Rituals" of success are a continuing theme for Progress Inn.
