Tim Robert - We're Good Together EP incl. Alex Vidal, Pacco & Rudy B [SMD179]

The 179th release on Suffused Music welcomes Tim Robert back to the label for a brand new single. The NYC based artist last appeared on the Lithuanian imprint with his 'Changes Fast' single which was released in July of 2016. Now making his much anticipated return to Suffused Music, Tim presents his latest single entitled 'We're Good Together' alongside remixes from Alex Vidal and Pacco & Rudy B. 

Long regarded as one of the USA's best progressive house artists Tim's discography is filled with compelling creations. Following an appearance on Lonya's Asymmetric Recordings, Tim's latest 'We're Good Together' looks sets to be his best and most anticipated to date. The energy is infectious from the outset with a warm, rolling groove and stunning synth work immediately catching your ear. Vocal elements get teased in and then fully realized during a timely break. Dramatic and poignant in equal measure, the tracks centrepiece is a kaleidoscope of emotions, peaking with acidic growls before dropping into an energy bridge of cosmic colour. Certainly Tim's most accomplished work to date and one you're likely to be hearing a lot over the summer months. 

The first interpretation of 'We're Good Together' is provided by Alex Vidal who is making his seventh appearance on the label. Last appearing with a stellar interpretation of Subconscious Tales in November of last year the Spanish artist now presents his most intriguing remix project to date. Evidenced by his long history with Bonzai Records, Alex has always treaded the waters between progressive and trance with remarkable ease. For his 'We're Good Together' interpretation the Spanish artist goes a touch deeper but equally driving. Reprocessed vocals add both trippy and emotive moments as the first act unfolds before ultimately coming to full fruition during the main break. Haunting pads and a stylish arp carry the dramatic tension wonderfully before a wave of white noise sends a rush of beats into an euphoric third act.

The second and final interpretation of 'We're Good Together' is provided by Pacco & Rudy B who are making their second appearance on Suffused Music. The Croatian duo have found a home on Proton's Particles imprint and A Must Have where their unique take on progressive house has flourished. A decade long career makes them one of the genre's most storied duo's with their Suffused Music remix debut perhaps long overdue. It has been well worth the wait however as Pacco & Rudy B have crafted something extra special here, taking 'We're Good Together' into smooth, meditative and utterly charming territory. Wispy, chopped up vocals play off the tightly knit framework building a strong rhythmic core, before the first of two breaks brings the full vocal complement. Hypnotic synths further the storyboard with a buzzing tension before the kick drops and the hazy harmonies take you home. A stunning interpretation from Pacco and Rudy and there is also a Dub version included for the less vocally inclined, closing out what is a superb package from Suffused Music once again. Highly Recommended.

Napalm & d-phrag - Turmoil EP [SMD178]

Collaborative pairings are commonplace in the world of dance music and few are more deserving of attention within the underground scene than the combined output of Napalm & d-phrag. As the pair come together once more, Suffused Music is delighted to announce the release of their highly charged, “Turmoil EP”.

Joining forces from their homes in Hungary and Bulgaria, Pál Nánai and Ivan Filipov have been involved in the music industry for several years, creating a sizeable niche for themselves with their unique brand of techno and progressive house under their Napalm & d-phrag production monikers. With Napalm took a creative path that has centred primarily on the techniques of music production, eschewing the more traditional route as a DJ, d-phrag found himself heavily influenced by the iconic Global Underground mix series and Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 “Essential Mix”, before reaching a critical mass himself through his monthly “Immersed” show on Frisky Radio.

First working together as a collaborative, creative force, Napalm & d-phrag hit the headlines with a debut for LuPS Records in 2012 with the “43” EP. Since then a galaxy of production credits has hit a plethora of high-calibre underground imprints. Indeed, the Balkan Connection family of labels have been responsible for almost a century of these credits with a striking collection of original and remix material, including January 2017’s “Inner Fierce” EP for BC2. Further releases for the likes of Stellar Fountain, Mistique Music and OLD SQL have continued to highlight the duo’s sound, supported by the DJ elite including Aeron Aether, East Café and iconic Argentinean superstar, Hernan Cattaneo.

The electronica sounds of twin-track, “You Give Me Strength” EP, hit Suffused Polarities in December 2015, while a remix of DJ Borra & Britt, for Suffused Music in June 2014, is now joined by a very welcome debut original EP in the shape of “Turmoil”. Opening with the aptly named, “Heavy”, a huge kick and low-lung house groove combine with a throbbing bass line that pulses in time with the seismic kick drum. Building hypnotically, a glistening lead line is juxtaposed against the lower frequencies, pausing in a stripped back breakdown that sees an elegant melody evolve before the undulating bass line and syncopated rhythms dominate once more in the second half.

The title track itself is a lighter affair with a scintillating lead line of middle eastern flavour, rippling across the upper frequency spectrum in stirring fashion. Combined with a strong four-to-the-floor rhythmic foundation and dynamic shaker-driven percussive cadence, the mid-point breakdown sees the evolution of the central melody in emotive manner, combined with a striking bass groove. Hitting its stride again in the third movement with a combination of intricately programmed rhythm and melody, “Turmoil” maintains dance-floor intrigue.

A pair of new tracks from Napalm & d-phrag have illustrated perfect clarity and purpose within their “Turmoil”.

GBrown - This Is Who We Are EP incl. Roddy Reynaert & Phi Phi, Third Personality [SMD177]

The 177th release on Suffused Music finds the label showcasing new interpretations of GBrown's 'This Is Who We Are’. Originally released as part of the label's 'Initializing, Vol. 9' collection in April of 2016 the track then went on to anchor the US artist's 'Open' EP released in August. Deep and dark with rugged character and sinister themes it definitely struck a chord with the progressive house underground. Now coming back for the 2017 summer season Suffused Music unveils two brand new interpretations from Roddy Reynaert & Phi Phi and Third Personality.

The first interpretation of 'This Is Who We Are' is provided by Roddy Reynaert & Phi Phi. The French duo are frequent studio partners and no stranger to Suffused Music having released their 'Tour & Taxi' EP on the label in February of this year. Now returning for their first remix they bring their own unique vision to 'This Is Who We Are'. Groovy, spacious and full of immense swing, it's dance floor sensibility is high from the outset. As layers of percussion and rolling rhythms collide the energy grows exponentially, ultimately leading to a dramatic break. The distinctive vocal sample which no doubt resonated in people's minds from the original gets showcased to great effect here. Following a collage of spaced out sonics the dark message is conveyed before hypnotic arps and muted beats lead to the ultimate drop. 

The second and final interpretation of 'This Is Who We Are' is provided by Third Personality who is returning to the label for his fourth appearance.  The Bulgarian producer is perhaps best known for his Andrez alias where he has accumulated close to 200 releases since 2007. Third Personality was born in 2012 as an outlet for Andrez to explore different stylistic blueprints which he has done with great success. Releases on ICONYC and Balkan Connection South America have been sensational and his tenure with Suffused Music has been highlighted with three excellent remixes. Keeping that fine string intact Third Personality closes the release out with a fresh take on 'This Is Who We Are'. Stripping the track to its core and focusing on the vocal motifs makes for a club friendly, seven minute journey. As the vocal comes up from its sinister depths percussive waves and hypnotic motifs converge around the framework. Two timely breaks bring just the right dramatic effect before the final act seals it's brilliance. An incredible interpretation from Third Personality and another excellent offering from Suffused Music that's not to be missed.

Ezequiel Anile & Nicolas Petracca - Eternal Starfields EP [SMD176]

The 176th release on Suffused Music welcomes Nicolas Petracca & Ezequiel Anile to the label for their debut EP. The Argentinian duo have been frequent studio partners in recent years showcasing key releases on Dopamine Music, MNL, Sound Avenue and Soundteller records. Now making their much anticipated debut on Suffused Music Nicolas & Ezequiel present their two track EP entitled 'Eternal Starfields'.

Already known for their journey-esque tracks Nicolas and Ezequiel present another supreme sonic story with the title and showcase piece 'Eternal Starfields'. Deep, driving and a touch dark the DJ friendly intro perfectly sets the stage for what's to come. Fizzing noise fades in the distance as percussive details fill out the framework. It's tribal tinged drums are both beefy and rhythmic leading to the first of several energy bridges. Brighter motifs bring the top end alive, intensifying at timely moments over the near eleven minute duration, ultimately peaking for a spectacular third act finale.

The companion piece 'Adimensional Feelings' comes in tougher, crunchier and sits as a perfect complement to 'Eternal Starfields'. Rugged rhythms, phasing vocal hooks and clattering percussion lead the charge here. Again clocking in at over ten minutes the Argentinean duo craft a journey with a multitude of twists and turns. Squelchy synths flow through an unpredictable modular storyboard while several timely breaks add more fuel to the progressive fire. Definitely one for the peak times slots and a great way to round out a long overdue debut for Nicolas and Ezequiel on Suffused Music. Don't miss it.
