#4 Feat. New Releases in Progressive House

Italian producer Gai Barone, one of the most respected names in contemporary Progressive House, returns to Univack with Macula / Limbic, a two-track EP that reflects his unique visionfree from fleeting trends and deeply rooted in sonic storytelling. Here, Barone demonstrates his maturity and versatility as a producer. Each track stands as its own autonomous universe, with high levels of detail, refined sound design, and a compositional approach that goes beyond function to become timeless art. Macula is a melodic and dreamlike experience, unfolding through harmonic, immersive layers that evoke a luminous, ethereal nostalgia. Limbic, by contrast, reveals a more minimalistic and cerebral architecture: elegant, serious, rhythmically intricate, and full of subtleties that unfold with each listen. Macula / Limbic is a statement of intent from an artist of integrity, who finds in Univack the perfect platform to express his creative vision without compromise.
