Progressive House charts

Review: Guy J's new alias Cornucopia experiments quite readily with progressive house and techno, veering atmospheric and immersive. Made up of two tracks which fans have been eagerly awaiting for years, 'Remember Me' spans an array of melodic plucks and even warmer grooves, crafting a super-hypnotic haunter. 'Early Morning' evokes the tranquility of sunrise, with Guy J's signature groove and dextrous production proving meticulous, though still easy on the ears. Both tracks exude extra warmth, as do most sonic hugs.

Review: Progressive melodic phenom Sebastien Leger is an unstoppable human current; the egressive mood of his music matches the restless energy he has channelled into his productions and DJ appearances across Europe since 1999. Bringing his latest opus to the tiny island of Malta to add to Guy J's Early Morning label, 'Koi Fish' and 'Gaufrette' serve as twin dawn and dusk choruses for the emo-valent raver. Continuing Leger's recent penchant for naming his music after food, 'Gaufrette' brings a chocolate-sauced, latticed sonic wafer of burbling synth and engineered drum fill, and 'Koi Fish' a synthetic set of lateral undulations and slippery synth-flicks, like the titular fish. That breakdown too!

Review: Guy J's Early Morning label continues its impressive run with a sophomore release from acclaimed producer Roy Rosenfeld. This two-track concept showcases Rosenfeld's ability to transcend genre boundaries, offering a captivating blend of electronica, tribal rhythms, and vintage synth textures. 'Forgotten' unfolds with a measured intensity, its hypnotic groove and indigenous-percussive influences creating a ritualistic atmosphere. The track builds to a resonant climax, punctuated by deep chords and a melodic break before culminating in a tribal-inspired crescendo. 'Hello' takes a different approach, juxtaposing an 80s arcade aesthetic with high-fidelity beats and ethnic percussion. The result is a mesmerizing blend of old and new, a sonic tapestry that evokes primal imagery while pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Rosenfeld's latest offering is a testament to his creative vision, a captivating journey that will appeal to both home listeners and dancefloor enthusiasts.
