Cid. Inc. – Abyss [Replug]
Cid Inc. are up next with their track and entitled EP “Abyss” This for me is Progressive House at its best with its soft melodic touches and quirky stabs floating strings little breaks and variation its easy to see why this track has been so big so many top Djs. Cid Inc. are no strangers to delivering quality productions ...one of my favorites was “Guardian” on “lost & Found” back in 2015 other release since then include “State of Everything & Shifter ” also on “Replug” & “Roihu” on “Sudabeat”.

Kiko – Math (defined ep) [NM2]
Hailing from France Kiko up next with his release on “NM2” Defined Ep which also features artists “Oliver Giacmotto, Florian Kruse” & “Hendrik Barkhard” & “Jos & Eli” his track entitled “Math” on “NM2” keeping true to his sound Kiko Delivers a track that has grown and grown on me the more I hear it. This track just draws you in with some very intelligent refreshing stabs keeping you interested. Almost reminds me of “Ambassador by Fade” on the mighty Platipus in the late 90s.

RECOMMENDED
Patrice Baumel – The Hatchet
[Afterlife recordings]
Patrice Baumel seems to have found his sound consistently delivering tracks Like “Sorcery” “Glutes” & “Out of Time” remix for Sasha and one of “Dum Dum” & “Surge” which were all huge tracks it is clear to see that Hard work pays off and it clearly has for Patrice Baumel who is widely respected amongst his peers and his DJ sets and productions are a class above. “The Hatchet” is no Exception has that slow build with very intelligent sounds combined with stabs loops and big synth sounds too. Patrice is a very cleaver guy and in a recent live podcast he revealed what drives him and how his productions come about. I am a Big Fan!!!

Patrik Berg feat. Matt Sassari – Discovery [Terminal M]
Discovery on “Monika Kruse” Terminal M is a Techno Freight train, which does not let up ! The Kick from the start really sets the pace followed up with stinging Top Hat, which Builds with breaks and claps and a Killer Base line really sets the mood. A Real Builder and I anticipate great things for Patrik Berg & Matt Sassari with this track this summer. Other tracks on the release are “Driving Force” & “You Give Me”.

Andre Crom who is churning out productions on “Sleaze Recordings” “Off Recordings” “Ovum” “100% Pure” for me has found his sound over the past couple of years I much prefer this direction and “Resonance” is a track which delivers to Techno lovers every where. Other tracks on the release are “Consciousness” and a remix of “Resonance” by “BEC’s last track remix. ...Check it now!
