Miss Rodriguez-Apollo [FSOE Parallels]

 

It is always great to see new talent with a unique approach to the genre emerge into the dance music scene. Relative newcomer "Miss Rodriguez" from Mexico, is without a doubt one of those talented individuals. Mesmerizing her audience with her previous phenomenal tune "Your Eyes" on "FSOE Parallels", the rising star is back once more with her new creation "Apollo". Out now on "FSOE Parallels", owned and operated by none other than Santos Torres, the artist known as "Monoverse".

 "Apollo" grabs your attention from the very first moment as a vibrant bassline paves the way ahead alongside an intriguing melody and a plethora of effects, including plenty of reverse fx and playful echoes. The progression of this one is undeniably surprising as the haunting, distinct female vocal gets tumbled around quite nicely, adding an extra flair to it all, while a dark, somewhat distorted wasp synth realizes its full potential, spreading several amounts of euphoria, building the hype amongst the bittersweet melodies and trance oriented leads that follow. 

Much like the Greek God of music itself "Apollo" is an aural creation plucked from the heavens! Another hit for "Miss Rodriguez"!

Monoverse-Everything You Are E.P [FSOE Parallels]

 

After a brief absence from the spotlight for personal reasons, Santos Torres is back in the action. I am of course referring to DJ/Producer "Monoverse" as most of the dance music populous may know him. Running his own label under the "Future Sound Of Egypt" imprint has been one of the highlights in his ever blossoming career. He continues to offer us some of the most exquisite offerings on the one and only "Parallels". It was only fitting that he would make his imminent return to the label with a fresh E.P giving us a double aural pleasure before this difficult year ends. His new E.P contains two enigmatic tracks, different from what one may be used to by "Monoverse" but fresh and inspiring with a hint of his signature sound embedded deep within. Let us dig deep and uncover those aural gems shall we?

"Everything You Are": Spacious grooves unfold as an ever growing intensity stirs from within the very core of the track itself. A minimalistic approach on the percussion is just what was needed for the subtle progression of this one. Melancholic melodies and deep house oriented pitched down vocal snippets attempt to brighten the mood while building on the emotional atmosphere of this one.Beautiful harmonies spread their wings and glide like the most colorful butterflies amongst intriguing stabs and rolling basslines. Deep, emotional tuneage wrought straight from the depths of the artist's soul itself.

"We Are": Steering away from the course of its elder sibling, this next one has a deeper, curious side to it. Enriched melodies and accentuated dark grooves move forward amongst a sea of female vocal snippets. The break holds an array of beautiful, serene, almost nostalgic melodies as if plucked from a music box, long lost in time. Faster paced, smooth and intriguing this one ticks ticks all the right boxes as its progression is what tells the story, keeping the listener at constant attention.

A slight turn of direction for "Monoverse" as he leans towards the progressive side of things but totally wins the audience over with his story telling through his enriched grooves and fine blend of meticulous melodies. Welcome back! Here's to many more releases in the near future!

Mind Of One-Kairos/Hypernova [FSOE Parallels]

 

Another successful DJ/Producer duo has sprung out into the open. Taking careful and selective steps while honing their skills along the way, these guys have certainly chosen the right path towards recognition in the dance music scene. Quite often siblings show different tastes in music, interests and so forth. Rarely do they share a common goal, a dream or aspiration. In this case these two could not be better synced. Brothers Chris and Angelos Ekonomakis residing in Canada have come together to form the uncanny duo "Mind Of One". Being twins the name could not be more appropriate. The bros. already have had a steady stream of releases on some of the coolest record labels and gained support by some of the industry giants such as "Ferry Corsten", "Aly & Fila", "Cosmic Gate" and many more. Driven by their passion and united by their creativity these two are back with a fresh E.P on "FSOE Parallels", a "Future Sound Of Egypt" sublabel curated and owned by none other than Santos Torres aka "Monoverse". The E.P consists of two tracks each with their own essence and attitude as you will quickly discover.

 "Kairos":

The brothers' background is evident here as the title is synonymous with "weather" or even "time" in the Greek language, words constantly used in the brothers' distant homeland, Greece. Brilliant title choice as this one is fine tempered yet unpredictable much like the weather itself. It starts off at a somewhat peaceful state, the percussion and bassline holding us at ease. Just when one thinks they know what may come around the bend clouds form over its tranquil state, casting long shadows and revealing an aggressive nature that remained hidden until now. As the track unfolds we are accompanied by moody, mind bending synths and otherworldly melodies. An energy long submerged quickly arises within and unleashes its fury, sending chills down every listener's spine. A fine slice of progressive for us fortunate souls.

 "Hypernova":

Thoughts of infinite space may have had something to do with the inspiration of this track as it is dark, ominous and mysterious much like the final frontier. It has a certain wondrous quality about it, drawing us further inwards, curious to see what may come next. Majestic melodies and solid progressive grooves lay at the foundation of this one while our mind travels through wormholes of space and time via curious synths, alluring female vocal chants and mind boggling leads, allowing a plethora of questions to arise within the depths of our ever curious psyche. Another marvelous track to add to your collection.

 I may go out on a limb here and state that this is one of the guys' finest E.P's. Looking forward to many more thoughtful progressive numbers such as this one in the near future!
