Frankfurt’s Matthias Vogt has assembled quite the back catalogue over the past decade, from his timeless work as one half of Motorcitysoul on Aus Music and Freerange Records, to the six albums released by his popular jazz ensemble [re:jazz]. Matthias now teams up with London label Anjunadeep for a string of releases, kicking off with the ‘Seven Summits EP’. Featured on the #1 iTunes Dance compilation ‘Anjunadeep 07’, title track ‘Seven Summits’ is a wistful trip through mystic melodies and haunting soundscapes, deftly blending delicate production with raw emotion. Growing from sparse strings and jaunty keys, ‘Schwarzbach’ is another piece of subtle melodic house, flowing through elegant atmospherics before swelling to an understated crescendo. ‘Can We All Be Still’ takes a leftfield turn; a beautiful downtempo track built around a simple stabbing bassline and ethereal meditative vocals from Pete Josef.

Having established themselves as one of Anjunadeep’s leading acts over the past 12 months with three stunning EPs and notorious bootlegs of Depeche Mode and Radiohead, Cubicolor return with their boldest and most diverse release to date with the ‘Down The Wall EP’. The four track EP has won early DJ support from tastemakers like Lee Burridge and Patrice Baumel, who join a list of supporters that includes Pete Tong and Danny Tengalia. Title track ‘Down The Wall’ sets the tone with a warm stuttering bassline rolling beneath subtle melodies and a heady chugging groove. Eerie stabs ebb and flow whilst the surging bass groove bends from subtle spaciousness into towards an effervescent crescendo. ‘Clime’ continues the trippy vibes with barely-there percussion and a stunning melodic riff that soars alongside soulful vocal hums. ‘Cage Of Love’ fuses another pulsating groove with distorted bleeps and bags of atmosphere, whilst ‘Musicians’ takes us down the rabbit hole with driving analogue percussion, spectral melodies and a memorable sample – “what you’re listening to, are musicians forming psychedelic music under the influence of mind altering chemicals”.

Canadian producer Clarian delivers three melodic house numbers on his new ‘Kill For Love EP’ on Anjunadeep, supported by Sasha, Guy Gerber, Axel Boman and Lee Burridge. Previously one half of Footprintz, Clarian has released on on Visionquest, Turbo, Life and Death and Culprit as a solo artist, not to mention his acclaimed collaborations with Guy Gerber and Seth Troxler. When not A&Ring Troxler’s Soft Touch imprint, a discography he’s inaugurated with this ‘If There Light At The End’ release, Clarian is a prominent figure in Berlin’s nightlife scene when he’s not trotting the globe between Paris, Dubai, Montreal, New York and London. First up ‘Kill For Love’ kicks off the package with tantalising keys and mournful vocals, wrapped around a surging acid bassline. ‘Lucid Dreamers’ employs yet more acid licks and ebbing chords, whilst a spoken word sample floats softly above elegant rising melodies. ‘I Was Born In Outer Space’ concludes the EP with a trippy journey through otherworldly pads, undulating bassline and as a heady vox sings blissfully throughout

Amsterdam based Cubicolor have established themselves as one of house music’s most exciting new names, with early singles “Next Planet” and “Got This Feeling” picking up support from the underground all the way up to BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong. Their first release of 2015, the “Magnum EP” sees them develop their warm, indie-leaning melodic sound with three beautiful cuts first heard in their recent Anjunadeep Edition mix. Title track “Magnum” is a luscious rolling juggernaut, driven by head-in-the-clouds melodies and anthemic, glowing chords. “Moments” shows off Cubicolor’s moodier side, weaving eerie melodies around a techy groove. Huge bass notes combine with snare drum blasts before an epic heads-down, hands-up breakdown paves the way for dancefloor euphoria. Slow-burning third track “All Zero” drops the tempo, as chugging percussion, arpeggiated keys and distorted vocal samples combine in ethereal fashion. Beautiful haunting strings add an elegiac touch as Cubicolor close the latest addition to their already impressive catalogue.
