Movement Recordings presents a new progressive house EP from Ellroy with Amaretto. Drawing on a background shaped by Ukrainian roots and a decade based in Montreal, Ellroy returns with a three track showcase that highlights his refined, groove focused approach to progressive house. Known for earning consistent support from some of the scene's most respected tastemakers, Ellroy has steadily built a reputation for delivering music that balances hypnotic rhythm, emotional depth, and club ready functionality. With releases spanning labels such as Mango Alley, One of a Kind, Balkan Connection, Moon Harbour, Dear Deer and 303Lovers, his sound continues to resonate across underground dancefloors worldwide. Opening the EP is "Manice", a smooth and rolling introduction that sets the tone with a warm low end groove and understated melodic movement. Subtle percussion details and evolving textures create a patient build, allowing the track to unfold naturally while maintaining a steady sense of momentum, ideal for deeper moments in a DJ set. The title track "Amaretto" anchors the release with a more pronounced melodic presence. A driving bassline underpins carefully layered synth work, while delicate atmospheres and refined effects guide the track through a hypnotic progression. Balancing energy and restraint, the track delivers a confident narrative that feels equally suited to late night floors and immersive listening. Closing the EP is "Sleep Division", which leans into a darker, more introspective mood. Pulsing rhythms and shadowy textures intertwine with subtle harmonic shifts, creating tension and release without sacrificing flow. The result is a deep, late hour cut that rounds out the EP with a mature and atmospheric finish. With Amaretto, Ellroy delivers a cohesive and forward thinking progressive house release, reaffirming his ability to craft timeless club music with emotional resonance and technical precision.
