Polytechnic's work rate of late has been huge, with release after release, yet there are definitely some quality tunes in there too. Here with the "Need Control EP" they introduce us to Yura Popov, who kicked off his musical career in the late nineties and it doesn't seem short of top tunage. This is not the first time we've seen a Russian conquer progr..

This past spring, Proton Music released Ryan Davis's "Clouds Passing By," a stunning progressive/techno fusion that received support from major players across the world, including Sasha. To end the summer of '08 on a very high note, Proton introduces a stunning remix package, that covers many different styles; from progressive to twisted after-hour..

Australia’s up and coming progressive label, Open Records unleashes this pack of promising tech and prog tunes from Melbourne’s Gavin Martin, aka GMJ, with a great rework by French producer, D-Sens, via the “Torgant EP.”On the A side, Torgant’s sound selection didn’t really pique my interest and the track could use some more..

MOS, aka Manuel Sofia, from BA Argentina, has been at the forefront of the progressive-tech revolution since its explosion into the mainstream these past several years. His trademark fusion of slick, tight, and stripped down tech-house percussion & bass paired with beautiful and sometimes sweeping melodies has tagged him as one of the most relevant and innovativ..

Different Pieces is the brand new label headed by Josh Gabriel. As one half of Gabriel & Dresden, massive notoriety was gained for a unique sound that pushed boundaries and got people talking more than ever in heated debate. It seems with this new project from Gabriel the effect is going to be intensified as he heads up the first release with "Tone Program".

Respected Australian DJ Matt Rowan seems to be a busy man, both on release and remix work. This is his latest offering "Self Inflicted / Hot Steppin"Starting with a Self Inflicted remix by musical colleague, Jaytech, this hit..

2007 is remembered by most progressive house lovers as the year Toronto took over. At the forefront of this new sound emerging from the north was Glenn Morrison, who released 3 monster hits; "Contact", "No Sudden Moves" and "Cosmic Flight". It's now a year later, and Glenn is proving his strong staying power, as he joins Dave Seaman's imprint, A..

Any way you slice it, Australia’s Beef Records, serves up some tasty prime cuts here, a la Parisian duo Solead’s new ”Serpent” EP, featuring remixes by Boris Brejcha and Deepchild. Reaching #1 on the MyPromoPool™ chart this week, ”Serpent” is one slab of hot techy beats and proggy synth vibes not to be overlooked. Serpent..

Unless you have been incarcerated since the late nineties you may have heard of Bedrock records, probably the most widely recognised label on the progressive scene and more recently showing their penchant for pure underground music by reaching out further from just one sound. This is no more evident than with this double header from Christian Smith. Smith, mor..

Amsterdam’s Jason Lanox just recently dropped us this dope 2 tracker, Bellalyka/The Getaway, courtesy of Deep Records. Bellalyka comes from a unique angle; you can tell the sound selection is well thought out, and the melody is indeed on the bizarre end of the spectrum. The tune is structured nicely in tech house fashion early on, while u..

Citric Recordings brings on it's third release; this one coming from longtime New York DJ turned producer, Rami Deejay. Sinister Habit is a well crafted tech tune, filled with filtered & reverbed percussion, bells and snares. It has a very clean sound to it, and builds very nicely. Things progress up to an epic climax toward the end, which makes..

Homes Art Music is back around this time with a very interesting EP by talented African artist, Sin Tek. Karmacho Original version has a very inclined groove with a pluck, and an interesting freak-out type breakdown that could bring to the dancefloor a rather warped atmosphere. The Julian Misher remix is a track with a mellower te..
