#3 Feat. Banner in Progressive House

Cid Inc's Replug Records opens their 2024 season by welcoming Dmitry Molosh back to the label for a new EP. Based in Belarus, Dmitry Molosh has been at the cutting edge of electronic music for the better part of a decade. Comparable to the path of his contemporaries, Dmitry has found a way to successfully marry classic and contemporary progressive house, resulting in an aesthetic that is not only club-effective but also dramatic and emotive. With a place firmly etched in the trend-driven state of underground dance music, Dmitry now sits on a modern progressive perch all his own, with an authentic sound that continues to find favour with Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and Replug label boss Cid Inc. 2022 proved to be an impactful year for Dmitry, with the formation of his Proportion imprint, a label which now serves as his primary home, while also keeping top tier outlets such as Proton and Sudbeat at the forefront of his discography. Dmitry's creative partnership with Replug has also been one that is not only long-running, but has yielded a litany of successes across six projects since his 2016 debut 'Boa'. Now, fresh off his latest vehicle entitled 'Station' for Proton Music to begin the year, Dmitry makes a welcome return to Replug with 'Modul'. The EP's title selection 'Modul' sets the pace and lands with many of the production hallmarks for which Dmitry has become so beloved. Muscular kick drums and jet force propulsions provide a DJ friendly intro, as the bassline drops for a rush of pneumatic energy. Stepping decisively on the gas, it's a free-flowing exchange of emotive chord changes and clustered synth mutations which provide an enduring main theme, while a wonderfully warped break is sure to cast a paranoid spell over the dancefloor. Siren-like wails highlight a thunderous drop, setting the course for a finale which cruises effortlessly, all while maintaining a sense of urgency and spontaneity that astute progressive house fans will appreciate. Rounding out the release are the hypnotic qualities of 'Sail', a track where Dmitry balances the loud-soft dynamics which seem to work so well on the dancefloor. Superficially, it might come across as a classic chunk of Molosh bombast, but it exists in a different sonic world, as multiple layers of rebounding rhythms, stirring chord changes and arpeggiated sequences get woven around a core of beefy grooves and cleverly coaxed atmospheric swells. The break's beginnings hold that strong cadence, eventually melting down to a shapeshifting narrative, one where hyperbolic arps deliver a finale that is both wonderfully warped and incredibly groovy. A fitting conclusion to what is another unique look into Dmitry's repertoire, and the infectious progressive sound he has built his career on.
