#44 Feat. Staff Picks in Progressive House

Were thrilled to welcome Colombian producer Juan Buitrago to the onedotsixtwo family. With releases already on acclaimed labels like UV, The Soundgarden, Mango Alley, and Juicebox Music, Juan has quickly built a reputation for his hypnotic grooves and melodic depth, earning regular support from scene heavyweights including Hernán Cattáneo and Nick Warren. His debut with us, Carnival, is a perfect snapshot of his sound. The title track blends rolling basslines and shimmering hooks into a deep, progressive journey that feels tailor-made for late-night floors. On remix duties, Argentinian favourite Martin Gardoqui delivers a wicked reimagining hypnotic, grittier, and heads down energy. The package is rounded out by Mirrors, a moody and darker arpeggiated feel, cut full of tension and release, and Catch Me, which closes the EP with Juans signature expansive groove, with emotive pads and effortlessly engaging. Carnival is a powerful label debut that shows why Juan is one of the most exciting names in progressive house right now. Expect these tracks to become staples in DJ sets around the world.
