They say architecture is music frozen in time... Nicolas Castillo a.k.a. Casnik and Mariano Favre, both out of the endlessly fertile scene of Argentina, deliver a two-track statement that sounds less like a release than an architectural monument. These are tracks built from the inside out — exquisite sound design meeting genuine emotion, textures that seem to bend light rather than simply carry it, low end engineered with the kind of obsessive precision that separates the merely good from the truly exceptional. It should come as no surprise that both come from Argentina. A scene that has, for three decades now, produced some of the most emotionally intelligent electronic music on the planet, a lineage running from Cattaneo's Clubland residency through to the generation making waves today. Favre has spent years quietly refining a sound built on warm atmospheres and melodies, having a devotion to progressive house that goes back to his earliest listening days. Casnik brings something rawer to the pairing: a restless, forward-facing energy, the sound of a producer more interested in where the genre is going than where it has been. Together, on this EP, the two instincts don't just coexist, they coalesce into something neither could have made alone. This is the sound of two worlds in conversation, of ideas being pushed further than either producer's comfort zone,. Welcome to the next HIGHER STATES of music.

Globally resonant DJ-producer Roger Martinez returns to his own HIGHER STATES imprint with a special reissue of his 2007 classic Wanna Be With You, now enriched by two entirely new re-interpretations alongside the original mix. The RM Healing Dark Remix brings hypnotic peak time drive: rolling bass, shadowy atmospherics, and slow-building tension, while the RM Healing Light Remix opens up with brighter chords, fluid percussion, and an uplifting flow. Both sit alongside the remastered original, offering DJs three distinct moods from one timeless track. Together, the three versions form a time-lapse: a younger artists spark meeting the patience and precision of the seasoned producer hes become. HIGHER STATES is the label where that meeting happens.
