Newcomers to the Clubsonica family, Gudo and Edwin Ajtun, come together to deliver a dynamic twin-tracker in Amor Fati Memento Mori. Additionally, a pair of impressive remixes from Matthew Sona and Lucas Zarate add another layer of sonic splendor. Originally debuting on MOONLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT in late 2020 and early 2021, a two-and-a-half-year hiatus then saw Mexican artist Edwin Atjun return with a clutch of releases on the likes of Shivrr and Mindset Music. Joining forces with Colombian producer Gudo, the pairs first collaborative release witnessed a remix of Zoekens Void of Mind on Sonnet Speciale. Now finding their way to Clubsonica Records, Amor Fati is a high-energy organic gem that shines brightly with traditional House tropes. Using a chunky progressive groove, the track builds effortlessly with a deep bass sequence and pulsating arp. Vocal phrasing adds to the overall House vibe, particularly at the stripped-back breakdown, before the magical introduction of synth chords explodes into the second half with an intelligently crafted dancefloor energy. Partner track Memento Mori is full of rhythmic poise as a hypnotic beat and off-beat percussion pave the way for a rippling arpeggio to create melodic intrigue, with white-noise washes and textured pad soundscapes adding to listener interest. Evolving easily over its 8-minute timeframe, the cast of rhythmic and melodic characters each play their part in a cascading tapestry of counterpoint and bassline dominance through the third movement. Matthew Sona has come a long way in a short time. Since an October 2023 debut on Zenebona, the Hungarian artist has quickly found his way onto some of the most highly regarded underground dance imprints. Mesmerized by sophisticated and refined house music, Matthew has seen his work reach Nick Warrens The Soundgarden, Paul Hazendonks Manual Music, and Mangos #1 Beatport Progressive House Label of 2025, Mango Alley. A March 2025 debut on Clubsonica saw him remix JFR and Lucas Zárates Siamba as Matthew Sona now delivers a Progressive House dynamo, reinterpreting Amor Fati with trademark aplomb. Retaining the House character of the original with its chords and vocal phrasing, Matthews skill is to extend the track in new directions with a smoothly evolving combination of spine-tingling bass power and rolling groove that explodes into a collage of synths and open filtered vibrancy in the second half. A second remix comes from the prolific Lucas Zárate. Originally from Tucumán in the north of the country, the Argentine artist has been a regular across the clubs of his hometown as well as forging a successful production career. Among a century of credits, work for Songuara, Kindisch, and Amulanga has showcased a natural talent, while March 2025s Siamba | Sambuka EP witnessed a suitably impressive debut on Clubsonica Records, including the aforementioned Matthew Sona remix. Supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, and fellow countryman Hernan Cattaneo, Lucas Zárate now returns to Juan Pablo Torrezs imprint with a characteristically potent reworking. Redolent in a rich and intricate tribal percussive groove, Lucas takes listeners on a hypnotic voyage of discovery through his remix of Amor Fati, as heavily modulated bassline patterns combine with light melodic keys. Felt keenly at the midpoint breakdown, they glisten and pan across the stereo spectrum amongst delicious synth patterns before the familiar chords of Gudo and Edwin Atjuns original blossom into a spirited and dramatic zenith that encapsulates all that is impressive in the Lucas Zárate sound.

A Clubsonica debutant, Ignacio Hernández is a welcome addition to the label family with his Somewhere EP. Hailing from Rosario in Southern Sante Fe, Ignacio Hernández has been a long-time devotee of dance music. Self-taught with a particular focus on the Progressive House genre, his dynamic and unique approach has led to a well-crafted sound, sought-after by a range of blue-chip imprints. With early work signed to UY! Records in 2022, the Argentine producer has gone on to see a clutch of releases signed to the likes of South American Avenue and Future Avenue. Moreover, a prolific 2025 saw a raft of tracks featured on Or Two Strangers, 3rd Avenue and the Beatport number one-selling, Mango Alley. Supported by such esteemed industry figures as Nick Warren, Eelke Kleijn and fellow countrymen Mariano Mellino, Antrim and Nicolás Rada, Ignacio Hernández now makes his debut on Juan Pablo Torrezs Clubsonica. Redolent in a flowing rhythmic narrative, opener, Somewhere dominates with a subterranean kick allied to a resonant bassline. Evolving easily over its 8-minute timeframe, a sweeping melodic landscape gradually unfolds in the early phases. Rising and falling with dancefloor know-how, a spoken vocal sample adds intrigue before blossoming into the third movement with a snare roll heralding the smooth combination of magisterial rhythm and melody. Continuing the rolling percussive groove, Purple Clouds is a darker affair with its minor key characteristics. Off-beat ticking hats create a subtle urgency while a white-noise riser ushers in a syncopated wood-block motif. Thickly textured pads add to the aural atmosphere with a spine-tingling breakdown enhancing complementary melodic touches courtesy of a smooth analogue lead. Dropping back into the hypnotic groove in the second half, the track is a powerful statement of intent. Completing the EP, Under the Sun glows brightly with its glittering melodic phrasing. Building with open-filtered intensity, the accented melody sits perfectly within the driving rhythm and rolling bass groove. Dropping away at the breakdown to reveal stereo-panned vocals, the second half builds once more to deliver a reprise of the melodic intensity of earlier phases. The result is an aptly named track that is a joyful dancefloor gem. Directed by Juan Pablo Torrez Mastered by Dub On Audio Press Release by James Warren Design by Dave Caro
