MATTIC (BR) and Meriva team up on Piece of Hope with remixes from D-Nox & Kamilo Sanclementé and Elan Myles. With over a decade in the making, Crema Club resident MATTIC is one of Brazils most promising electronic music talents. Bursting onto the scene in 2022, hes risen the ranks with releases on Additive Sounds, Ame Records and more, blending Indie Dance, Progressive, and Melodic House into a meleé of dense lines and powerful basslines. Equally, Meriva has spent the last five years growing his fan base with incendiary sets at Green Valley, Privilege, D-Edge and Pink Elephant, among others. Already picking up some early tastemaker plays from ZAC and J Doppler, Piece of Hope sees the Brazilian pairing once again pool their talents for another slice of dance floor dynamite. In original form, the track laps from the speakers with a sinewy grunt. Melodics throughout ebb and flow against the thunderous low end, building a head of steam thats hard to ignore. A deeper Dub version explores the cinematic soundscapes in greater detail. On remix duties, D-Nox and Kamilo Sanclementé add some playful carnival vibes and smooth out the originals grit for a subtle, yet devastating vocal ride. While Elan Myles drops a bass heavy glitzy trance reimagination thats packed full of soul and personality.

André Monet and D-Nox return for part three of their scintillating collaboration series. Youll be well-versed on André and D-Nox, leaders in their field and growing naturally as a production pairing. Part 3 of their Sessions series sees them continue to solidify, drawing every ounce of creativity from each other. We open with Vale du Sol, a deep melodic groover for the early morning sets. Glorious icy pads and delicate keys create the sonic playground on which sparse drums and piano tell a melancholy tale. Next, Six keeps up the tempo with a deep, bass-led vibe. Coming to life with wonky sonics and melodic percs, Six is an audio melodrama played out in your mind. Finally, Heaven opens with crisp percussion and a broken beat before a huge reese bass drops and arms raise. Drenched in old skool rave personality, the pianos and keys speak to simpler times of joyous dancefloors and naive hope realised through music. Heaven indeed.

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.
