D-Nox and André Moret return with part two of their Sessions series. Sessions represents the next phase for the multinational pairing. Whether remixing each other or appearing on the same labels, D-Nox and Andrés musical blueprint is finely tuned, as they continue to grow together artistically. First up, the 80s-inspired Shine applies its machine funk and glittery melodies. Tough drums and an offbeat bass provide a solid foundation for the main motif to explore the limits of uplifting analogue glory. Next, Velvet gathers pace for a masterclass of progressive house. Sparse drums and a thunderous bass bedrock the melodies and sweeps of this mid-set bruiser. Finally, Spiritual rounds out this impressive three-tracker with a deep progressive ride full of musicality and soul.
Its exciting when two homies, who are equally twisted as they are sonically intertwined, collaborate on an EP. Caballero and Tannko, make their return to Digital Structures with Rusty Circuit. A double dose of grunge and groove. A psychedelic tech offering that perfectly captures the intersection between the chaos of an underground renegade dancefloor and that dreamlike afterhour state that follows. Adding another layer to the release, Australian heavyweights Jamie Stevens and Kasey Taylor join forces for a powerful progressive reinterpretation of Electric Movers Enjoy
Hello World! The time has come for my first solo EP on keep my letters and Im very proud to present three of my personal favorite tracks. I will always remember these tracks as a vision that eventually became keep my letters. A1 / Baires Ayyy Buenos Aires! This track is very special to me. I had to hold back on releasing it for a very long time to be able to make the release happen exactly how I want it. I wrote it during the 2023 We Are Lost Tour. After spending some days off in the beautiful mountains of Patagonia, we traveled back into Buenos Aires. It was in that moment that I wrote Baires. Many fans were anticipating this track after Guy J played it at Loveland, now it is finally out! Baires was released already on vinyl for KML001V, so the top supporters already know what its about. A2 / Oh Grey World This track was written during the winter time in Berlin. Sometimes the clouds can hang so low that the world turns grey. B1 / Herbst Sticking to the theme of weather and the seasons, Herbst (German for Autumn) was written in a single session in my studio in the Funkhaus Berlin. It was a golden fall day and the magic from the OB6 let me capture that moment.. Design: Tom Liebchen Photography: Christoph Koestlin

From Buenos Aires, FJL emerges with a sound that feels personal and unique in its kind. His new three-track EP on HIGHER STATES captures the essence of Future Progressive: emotionally subdued, hypnotic future funk. FJL has been quietly building a name in the underground, sculpting grooves that breathe and evolve slowly. His music doesnt rush; it unfolds layer by layer, until you realize its taken hold. The EPs centerpiece Mesh is a collaboration with fellow Argentine producer Francisco Castro, a meeting of two artists who share the same language, musically and otherwise. Together they build something fluid, futuristic and cinematic: SFX shimmering like city lights through raindrops on windows, bass lines that carry a groove towards cinematic climaxes. A dialogue between friends who dont need to speak much to understand each other. On Time Fades, FJL showcases his more melancholic side with definite Argentinian characteristics, but always staying original in the unfoldment of the arrangement and never choosing the obvious in terms of sample selection and sound design. The last piece Zaino, is a percussive, groove drenched monster, balanced by chord structures that preserve a balance in the light/dark dichotomy, and that slowly unfolds towards a maddening crescendo. On HIGHER STATES, FJL finds the right platform for this sound: music that values depth over volume, impact over image. This is the sound of Argentinas new Future Progressive generation: subtle, patient, and quietly unstoppable.
An artist with a rich history in the underground house scene, Berni Turletti has been a renowned figure for over a decade, now making his Proportion debut. From Córdoba at the foothills of the Sierra Chicas, the Berni Turletti has carved out a sizeable niche for himself with more than a double century of production credits, signed to the likes of Roger Martinezs HIGHER STATES, Alex ORions Solis Recordings and fellow countryman, Hernan Cattaneos Sudbeat Music. Not an artist short of admirers, the Argentine has thus seen additional support from the likes of Sasha, John Digweed and Nick Warren. A regular across the clubs of his homeland, Bahrein in Buenos Aires, Dorian Gray in Córdoba and Mendoza in Tucuman, Berni is no stranger to spellbinding sonic journeys behind the decks as well as magical production work in the studio. Now making his Proportion debut, Echoes of Lotus is stunningly arranged into an Intro Mix that gently gathers pace after a stunning beatless opening that showcases an array of rippling arp, cadenced pluck and sweeping pad textures. A heavy beat enters the fray at the 2-minute mark, heralding a strong rhythmic framework for the free-flowing melodic textures that sit atop as hi-hats and shakers create subtle dancefloor intensity. Waxing and waning with ease, the track is a prescient reminder of Bernis impressive talent. Partner track, Obsidian Bloom opens with more traditional club-friendly characteristics as a four-to-the-floor kick creates a sturdy backdrop for ticking hi-hats and syncopated bassline to form a dark and dynamic foundation. A swirling lead adds sonic intrigue as it rises and falls with filtered intensity, sharing its space with a huge sweeping pad and white-noise effects. A stripped- back breakdown provides a moment for reflection as the third movement erupts via a filtered snare-roll, before dropping back into the powerful groove and a new immaculately placed melody that takes the track in an energising new direction in the second half.
Matt Oliver and Teclas deliver Night Shift | Underground Spiral, a deep and driving progressive house release that blends hypnotic grooves with emotional textures. Joining them is Argentine talent Juani Bria, who adds his own atmospheric touch with a standout remix. A release made for late-night journeys and underground dancefloors.
UK duo, Trilucid have been rising stars on Proton Music with their sparkling original work. Now revisiting A Moment from their February 2023 EP, a pair of new remixes come from Greek and Argentinean talents. An artist with a long and impressive career, Ioannis Paschalis has been a consistent diner at underground musics top table for over a decade. A triple century of credits dating back 15 years are testament to the Greek artists longevity within an ever-evolving industry as are releases signed to such esteemed imprints as All Day I Dream, Tale & Tone and TRYBESof. Now making his Proton Music, DSF delivers an intelligent and powerful reworking. Using an intricate rhythmic foundation as a vehicle to display his considerable talents, the Greek producer uses a key melodic theme of A Moment, appearing at the breakdown in the original, and transforming it into a central pillar of his interpretation. Driving forward with pace, the shimmering and arpeggiated motif filters in and out of sonic range with typical dancefloor knowhow, pausing for breath at the breakdown and building easily into the third movement courtesy of snare roll crescendo. Hitting its stride once more in the final stages, the smooth melodic undulations take hold with an emotive piano sequence adding further club-friendly vibes to proceedings. Martina Mozzoni and Matías Villafañe have become increasingly prominent figures within the underground dance scene. Under their Alto Astral moniker, the pair began their production journey in mid-2021 with original music on Balkan Connection, Movement Recordings and 3rd Avenue. With their groovy and emotional tunes, gathering original vocals and analog instruments, their unique sound has won plaudits from all corners. After a remix of Juan Deminicis Rebellion and Petar Dundovs Day Unseen for Particles in late-2021 and 2022, a reworking of Michael As Fantasy in early 2023 marked a Proton Music debut. Heartbeat Collective then provided an immaculately curated collection of original tracks and remixes in July 2024. Now returning, the Alto Astral Summer Remix opens with percussive verve and pitched effects while a pulsating wave of melodic layers converge, intelligently revealing the lead motif from A Moment. Cadenced stabs add to the club-friendly character in the second half to devastating effect. A second remix bristles with rhythmic poise in the early stages before subtle melodic flourishes come to the fore alongside fizzing percussive energy. Refrains from the original make their presence felt before trademark vocal refrains from Martina are layered beautifully together at the breakdown, rising to a wonderful zenith. Dropping back into the dynamic rhythmic pattern in the second half, the Alto Astral remixes are a triumph of innovation and craftsmanship. Though remixes from Alto Astral and DSF, Trilucid celebrate once more with A Moment in the spotlight. Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Trilucid Design by Ben Mautner Text by James Warren

Opening the EP, Paper Tiger unfolds immersive sonic landscapes with warm textures and ethereal melodies. Its atmosphere and celestial vocal samples create an expansive listening experience.

D-Nox and André team up once more for Sessions Part 1 Clearly, a collaboration that works for both artists, Sessions represents the next phase for the multinational pairing. Whether remixing each other or appearing on the same labels, D-Nox and Andrés musical blueprint is finely tuned, as they continue to grow together artistically. Opening with Discovery, we immediately deep dive into a world of liquid cool beats, icy pads, and gated vocals. Smooth and chuggy, the track develops a wickedly warm vibe among the deep keys and cinematic sweeps. Uniquely familiar and something youll likely hear for a long time to come. Next up, Cosmic follows suit. Rubbery bass and sparse percussion make way for keyed melodics and ethereal vocals. Creating a deeply spiritual sound that transcends current trends, it harks back to the essence of the original prog sound - hard but groovy, fast but trancey. Truly a work of genius. Rounding out the trio, Brisa has housier feels. More robust and upfront than its brothers, its a spiky assault of the senses that bristles with peak time energy. The breaks are all about hands in the air and knowing smiles of appreciation; the melodies about the swaying enjoyment of finally reaching that blissful disconnect from your problems. You owe it to yourselves to own this EP. Its phenomenal.
An artist who has consistently delivered a plethora of progressive gems to the Proton Music catalogue, Dmitry Molosh returns once more with a new track, Color. First finding his way to Proton via a remix of Navid Mehr in late 20216, further reworkings for the likes of Pete K, Trilucid and Kastis Torrau followed before 2020 saw a debut original track, courtesy of Little Friend. Winds of Change and River Pond followed in 2021 with a fourth, Station, in March 2024. All four tracks have included high-profile remixes from the likes of Matter, Nicolas Rada, Kobana and LADS, while a fifth now adds to that portfolio. Full of trademark dynamic energy, Color opens with a clicking, popping percussive groove, given additional urgency by rapid-fire hats and shakers. Building through its phases, a panoply of production material is added via hefty bassline and smooth melodic touches. Heading into a gorgeous breakdown of growing vibrancy, a drop at the 5-minute point creates a stunning dancefloor destroyer that brings together the various motifs and effects into a rousing final movement of energy and sonic colour. A Proton Music debutant with his Found Myself EP in August 2025, Hobin Rude is no stranger to the Progressive House scene with his work for the likes of Mango Alley, Meanwhile and Alex ORions Solis Records. More than 300 production credits have thus hit the underground dance industrys finest imprints through Hobins search for deeper meaning and music anchored in rhythm, propelled by intricate textures, lingering in the dark where mystery reigns. Reworking Dmitry Molosh, the Hobin Rude remix is characterised by all that the Serbian holds dear, as a deep, dark and mesmerising groove builds effortlessly across its 7-minute duration. Familiar melodic themes from Color delicately emerge while an array of subtle textures wash over the listener in sonic waves. Hitting the heights post-breakdown, a powerful new bassline-patterns provides cone-melting gravitas as melody and driving rhythm create an impressive debut. First hitting the headlines in Paris via a 2018 remix for Andre Sobota, Rokazer has been a mainstay of the Progressive House scene in recent years. Never short of offers from some of the most high-profile independent imprints, work for Colorize, Click Records, and Paul Thomas UV Noir and Pattern has created a portfolio that includes some 200 production credits and counting. Finding his way onto Proton Music after his Pulsar / Machine / Particle caught the attention of label director, Jay Epoch, the Rokazer remix sees the French producer create a powerful interpretation characterised by chest-thumping beat and clever reimagining of the central melody into a fizzing lead pad. Developing in hypnotic fashion, an array of rhythmic characters adds to the aural melange with a searing lead opening up at the breakdown alongside a smooth arp. Finding its way back into the vibrant rhythmic structure of earlier phrasing, the new melodic elements make their presence felt with elements from the original Color never far away. A new track from Dmitry Molosh, combined with remixes from Hobin Rude and Rokazer, has created a new and vivid Color palette on Proton Music. Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc.

Spanish talent Neuralis returns to onedotsixtwo for his first full EP after impressing with a stunning remix back in 2024.

The EP delivers four original cuts each bursting with its own identity — from hypnotic grooves to shadowy atmospheres and peak-time weaponry and for good measure Roberto has thrown in his Acid mix of Introspective which lightly bubbles as alternative to the gorgeous original mix. Adding extra weight, US progressive guru Cendryma steps in with a powerful remix, layering intricate textures and spine-tingling drive into a remix built for serious floors. The Poison Creosote marks a landmark release for Neuralis and a bold new chapter for onedotsixtwo — a label committed to pushing forward-thinking progressive sounds into unexpected territory.
Frankfurt-based artist PARAFRAME presents his new single Heartbeat on Purified Records.

A sweeping string motif weaves through the arrangement, lending cinematic depth and elevating the track beyond the dancefloor into an immersive sonic landscape.

Inspired by late-night and early-morning drives along Cape Towns picturesque Victoria Drive, Protocultures latest release on Marula Music breathes with the landscape that birthed it. The deep, rolling bassline mirrors the endless curves, while atmospheric pads swell and recede like the Atlantic tide against the cliffs. Melodies emerge like headlights cutting through the coastal mist, building towards a euphoric drop. Storytelling through sound, perfectly capturing that feeling of solitude, motion, and the quiet magic between night and day.
Back for a fourth incarnation of the best-selling series, GMJ and Matter unearth the next batch of rare precious gemstones, courtesy of Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 4. An album full of progressive promise from across the globe, US producer Sam Scheme opens proceedings, using a huge sub-bassline to devastating effect across Episode #9. Juxtaposed against muted, twinkling synth motifs and huge driving rhythm, it paves the way for Meanwhile supremo, GMJ, to deliver another majestic offering. Announcing his Higher Self through a meticulously arranged combination of deep bassline presence, thickly textured pads and dynamic arp, all the hallmarks of the Australians renowned production sound are in full evidence as a hypnotic powerhouse evolves over its duration. Regular on the likes of super-labels, Bedrock, Mango Alley and Lost & Found, Tantum showcases his sought-after sound through earworm motif, powerful effects and a developing soundscape. Further enhanced by Zurich-based YANIQ, the Swiss producers genre-blurring fusion of Progressive House and Melodic Techno gives Pluto a sound as sharp as a razors edge. Argentinean force, Not Demure, continues to serve up a bountiful supply of impressive releases as we move towards the end of 2025. Building on work for Movement, Worlds Apart and Paul Hazendonks Manual Music, Doomsday is a typically bristling affair, full of dark majesty and sprawling sci-fi landscapes. The result is a gloriously dynamic and complex affair with flashes of light sonic touch at the break. Fellow Meanwhile head honcho, Matter, never fails to disappoint, and Helios is no exception. Aptly named, shimmering sunlit melodies float across the track, developing out of a driving, mesmerising beat and delivering a devastating progressive number. Performing to a growing fanbase across North America, Europe and the Middle East, Kostya Outta confirms himself as a force to be reckoned with through Cloudy. Strong in melodic counterpoint and filtered synth phrasing, a rolling beat and light percussive touch illustrate the Russian stars dancefloor flair before prolific Belarusian artist, Michael A, adds to his 1300 production credits with a typically lavish combination of hypnotic rhythm and escalating melodic patterns. Trademark arps, thickly textured pads and stuttered vocal cuts add to the collage. The final trio sees a debut for important Cuban DJ, Ryan (CU). Founder of the La Cura de la Semena imprint, Succubus is redolent in Latin percussive flair which pans the stereo spectrum while a haunting motif flows freely atop. Providing a unique and innovative vibe, it paves the way for Michael Bennetts The Last Stand to hit effortless heights with full rhythmic force and gently pulsating pads for the Vapour, Mango Alley and Zero Tolerance regular. A relative newcomer, a gated melody and huge post-breakdown drop, keep intrigue high with a chorus of effects and bassline groove. The final act sees Israeli and Italian icons, Lonya and Graziano Raffa combine on the delightfully laid-back Breakups. Heavyweights of the underground scene for more than 15 years, a combination of deliciously smooth and evocative melodies drifts in nostalgic fashion over a heavy beat and sumptuous pads, made all the more powerful by a lead guitar motif in the second half. Hitting the heights once more with its global travels across the sound of Progressive House, Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 4 is a sonic journey like no other.

A prominent figure in underground house since the 1990s, Nick Muir is a global icon. Marking a return to Proton Music, he delivers yet another trademark masterpiece through Eyes Up. One half of the Bedrock duo alongside John Digweed, responsible for such legendary offerings as 1999s Heaven Scent and 2002s Emerald, the UK based artist has become a Proton favourite since an initial remix for Rick Pier ONeil in 2019. Further reworkings of Sebastian Sellares and Eric Lune followed with a remix of Luke Mandalas Eagle Song in early 2024. All One Word marked a powerful original debut, later reworked by powerhouses, Trilucid, as Nick now returns with a second original track. Redolent in trademark production techniques and distinctive sound, Eyes Up bristles with dancefloor dynamism, propelled forward by dizzying percussive hats and a huge bassline progression. Developing easily in club-friendly manner by an artist who has spent a career as a touring DJ, delicate melodies twinkle across the mid-range in perfect counterpoint before a breakdown creates a momentary pause for breath. Dropping back into the driving rhythm, a dancing inverted chord pattern balances against the earlier bassline phrase. The result is a masterful track from an artist still at the peak of his powers. First up on remix duties, Irish-born, Australian-based artist, Amháin, is a name synonymous with a gorgeous, flowing and multi-faceted sound that has seen the mid north coast-based artist a master of the modern Progressive House arena. A regular on Balance Music, HIGHER STATES and Mango Alley, his Starseed EP for Proton Music was a notable highlight. Remixes of Michael A and Erdi Irmak in 2022 and 2023 are now joined by a third with the Amháin interpretation of Eyes Up retaining all the melodic poise of the original while generating a gorgeous, flowing progressive backdrop that shimmers with a stunning new lead motif and a host of original production material. Typically luxurious and decadent, delays and reverbs coruscate over each other in a waterfall of sound, reaching an epic denouement at the breakdown. Returning to the compelling rhythmic pattern of earlier phases, the Amháin remix plays out in majestic fashion. A second remix sees another Australian resident work his antipodean magic. Quickly establishing himself as a sought-after figure within the Progressive House fraternity, Dave Leck has been producing high-quality work for over a decade since early work on Emotional Content Recordings, Crosslink Music and Mystic Carousel between 2016-18. Finding further success on Particles, the Stardust, Primal Connection, Elevate and Opal EPs showcased a series of increasingly high watermarks including remixes from Proton Music regulars, GMJ & Matter, Kamilo Sanclemente, Andrea Cassino and Erdi Irmak. Now debuting on Protons flagship label, the Dave Leck remix takes Eyes Up on a stirring journey where the hypnotic lead melody provides the perfect backdrop for a swathe of additional production material to meander easily across a deep kick and off-beat hats. Building in momentum with new arp and twinkling motifs, Nick Muirs bassline makes a welcome return at the mid-point breakdown. Hitting the heights again in the second half, Daves skill is to take the track in a new direction with its layered sonic textures and new phrasing, all while staying true to the Eyes Up sonic signature. With laser-focus and colourful production technique, Nick Muir Eyes Up yet another hit, ably supported by Amháin and Dave Leck. Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc.

Born of a love of all music, the naturally talented Argentinian has become one of progressive houses unsung heroes. Captivating crowds from Buenos Aires to Melbourne, Johns deep passion transcends his humble beginnings as a resident DJ. Signed to onedotsixtwo, Warung and more, his sound is unmistakable. Opening the EP with Snano, tough, rumbling bass and sparse percussions give way to detailed sonics and a dark hook that grooves with unencumbered joy. Mutating over the break with filters, the tension rises for a massive second half; the dancefloor a mass of gyrating bodies and warm smiles. Next up, Idid builds and builds and builds. The perfect mid-set bruiser, warm sweeps and spoken words set the stage as aquatic synths draw you in - deep trance at its finest. The ebbs and flows never lose their heads, and never become repetitive. A work of genius. Finally, Habana rounds out the pack in fine form. More percussive than the others, touches of samba add sophistication. Spiky synths mark time as wild analogue arps and vocal ad libs take the dance floor into ecstasy. Deep, satisfying and utter devastating from the master craftsman.
Sprout presents some exciting new remixes of label favourite, Criss Sources 2005 monster hit, Hugs N Kisses. To say a track like this can make a career, really isnt the platitude you think. It was certainly career-defining, but came at just the right time after years of hard work. Coming up to three decades at the pinnacle of the industry goes to show how far removed from the idea of the one-trick pony Criss Source truly is. His legacy spans multiple genres and many high performing labels, including Harthouse, Parquet and Beat Boutique Nearly 30 years of soundtracking dancefloors across the world, and building a back catalogue arsenal of club bombs to rival any of his peers. Originally released in December of 2004, Hugs N Kisses became one of the most played tracks for the next 4 years. A true club anthem supported by everyone from DJ Hell and Carl Cox right through to John Digweed and Nick Warren. Presented here with fresh remixes for 2025 by Peter Makto and Riko & Gugga, new life is injected into one of clublands most enduring moments. Peter Maktos mix opens innocently enough, building tension over the first half of the track, steadily adding percussion and deep bass and muted arps. Everything unleashes in the main break, filters open the energy turns up to 11 and the dancefloor explodes in melody, and joyous excitement. Riko & Gugga hit the ground running with a Bladerunner-esque bass and galloping percussion before acid shots and crazy psy-trance fx drive the floor wild. Aimed squarely at the peak-time, this is one secret weapon you deploy with great care. Once you set this one off theres no going back!
The tenth edition of the Early Morning label stands as both a milestone and a statement of intent. In just a single year, its founder has reshaped the underground dance music landscape with a catalog that redefined the possibilities of the genre. This latest release features two new pieces that together form a tightly woven conceptual work spanning nearly seventeen minutes. Guy J has built his reputation on reinvention. Each release feels less like a continuation of his past and more like a step into uncharted terrain. On the opening track, Worlds Apart, he fuses an emotive core with intricate sound design and spatial experimentation, leading listeners into liminal states where consciousness and subconsciousness blur. Despite its cerebral qualities, the piece never loses its pulse, the steady momentum that keeps it firmly anchored to the dancefloor. True to the labels name, this is music designed for dawn, for moments of release after a long night, for embraces on crowded floors, for the intangible bonds that form through shared experience. The second track, Surreal, pushes further into abstraction. While echoes of early trance, a genre that shaped Guy J during his formative years, are evident, the piece reframes those influences through a progressive, hypnotic, and technologically refined lens. It is this ability to blend memory with innovation that distinguishes Guy J from his peers, offering listeners not just music but a reimagined space in which sound itself becomes an act of discovery.

Alex ORion returns to the label with an astonishing double header. A purveyor of the finest progressive beats for some time, Alexs back catalogue speaks volumes with some of the most influential releases of the last decade. As a DJ, hes travelled the world and this year set up his own label, Solis Music, as well as an agency and events brand to further spread the gospel of ORion. A business brain as much as a creative genius, Alex is far from pushing the boundaries of the scene. Atlas is a powerful intensifying slab of melodic goodness, with its intense energy, and infectious groove, this is a real power driver! Taking things moodier, and darker, we find the tripped out Dirk, with its tense vibes, for when you need some added oomph for your dance floor.
KML001 Initially founded in 2024 by Tantum, as an event series in Berlin, KML001 marks the beginning of something new. This new label will be the home for the music of its core artists Tantum & Hyunji-A, showcasing their music as well as hosting like-minded musicians. A platform for artists that dare to think differently. 1 / Keep My Letters What better way to start the label other than a very personal track that embodies our connection through music. We wrote this track in 2024 as a closing track for the fi rst KML event where we hosted Guy J in Berlin. Originally written in Montreal, weve managed to capture the magic in anticipation of something new. Hyunji-As intimate Korean lyrics describe what this project stands for. We decided to keep it as close to the original sketch as possible - sometimes things dont have to be complicated. 2 / Keep My Letters (Simon Vuarambon Remix) Simon is a close friend of ours and we could not think of anyone better to remix the title track for the label launch. He not only understands our vision but also puts his talent to use, crafting a soulful melodic twist on Keep My Letters. We are proud to call Simon our friend. 3 / Keep My Letters (Tantums Return To Sender Remix) Tantums Return To Sender Remix is a trippy twist, teasing the edgier side of the sonic palette that this label will stand for. 4 / Mirror This track is like the dark, evil twin of the title track. It was our fi rst actual collab track, so of course it found its way on the debut EP. Its a proper secret weapon on the dancefl oor. Try it out for yourself if you dare.
