Dousk – West of Dub [Movement Recordings]

Fueled by an evolving creative process the Greek artist has remained at the forefront of electronic music for over fifteen years. Now Dousk showcases his studio repertoire once again with his latest three track sound story ‘West of Dub’. The EP’s title cut begins the journey into deep, cavernous grooves and funk fuelled rhythms. Esoteric vocals add mightily to the narrative, forever shifting the focus as dubby tones and wonky stabs fill in the framework. A timely break brings a hint of atmosphere as anticipation builds, cleverly constructed for maximum dance floor dynamics and an even groovier finale.

Prolific yet incredibly consistent Lucas closes the release out taking ‘Monsoon’ into slightly deeper but still pure progressive territory. The emotion he’s pulled out of the original has blossomed into something quite special.

After a week off Stellar Fountain returns in a big way with a new single from Ape Sapiens. Making their label debut Pacco & Rudy B provide the first remix on the release.

Luke Liberati – Tomorrow (Nicholas Van Orton Remix) [One Of A Kind]

One Of A Kind returns this week by welcoming Luke Liberati to the label with a brand new single. The second and final interpretation comes from Nicholas Van Orton who returns to the label for his fourth appearance. Amidst much praise, the Argentinean artist and BCSA label boss recently released his ‘Radient’ single and now embarks on his third remix project for One Of A Kind. Nicholas’ groovy sound works wonders here with a well sculpted foundation, vibrant atmospherics and a pixie-like take on the melodies ultimately stealing the show.

It’s deeper vibe sits as a perfect complement to the original and rounds the release out on a strong note.

Sashwat – Lights In The Fog (Matteo Monero Remix) [Welcome Music]

Digital Department’s Welcome Music imprint returns this week with a new single from Sashwat. Italian artist Matteo Monero has been quiet this year but his remix here should more that grab everyone’s attention once again. The cascading vocal phrases and distinctive bass stabs really shine.
