“Buzz Kill”-- the track by Thomas Feijk and Richard Davison that set ablaze the path of Macarize’s new beginnings-- is now back on the label with three brand remixes from David Folkebrant, EDU, and Hazem Beltagui! Macarize knew that a solo anthem needed some stunning remixes to accompany it, so here it is, “Buzz Kill: the Remixes”!


We first heard David Folkebrant’s sound on the label with his “Rising EP”, the third installment on the label that received great feedback for its novel sound and superb production. Now, we have David once again on Macarize turning the thundering anthem “Buzz Kill” into one upbeat piano-led track!

Eldar Abdulajev aka. EDU, although not a new name in the industry, is a new addition to Macarize, and he has sent-in his reinterpretation of “Buzz Kill” as the second in this release. The EDU remix of “Buzz Kill”caters electrifying and sharp riffs as well as tech-like bass-- an ideal alternative to the original!


Still fresh from his recent debut release on Macarize, Paris-based Egyptian producer, Hazem Beltagui makes a surprise appearance on “Buzz Kill: the Remixes” with another stunning chill out version of “Buzz Kill”! A dreamy and smooth-flowing version bringing to a close this energy-packed release-- all is perfect.

Hazem Beltagui- Insomnia EP

Hazem Beltagui—an Egyptian producer who now resides in the city of love, Paris—has a lot of stories to tell for all of us, and these stories are all written  in a three-track downtempo and electronica release entitled “Insomnia”, exclusively handed over to Macarize! The three marvelous tracks on this release, “Communication Down”, “222”, “Insomnia” each has stories to tell, and it is up to you to turn to a page and listen through. . .

Now let’s begin. “Communication Down” sets the mood of “Insomnia EP” with heavy and emotional vibes. With a touch of glimmering melodies and mind-levitating atmosphere, Hazem’s first track takes us deeper into his sound.

We slip into the rabbit hole of Hazem’s electronica paradigm with the second track entitled, “222”. Pounding kicks and hazy atmosphere can be expected from “222”, and of course, goosebumps as a byproduct.

Out of the rabbit hole we go with “Insomnia”, the third and last track of this release! As the climax of “Insomnia EP”, “Insomnia” brings renewal to its listeners with its nocturnal vibes, drifting beats, and a Bohemian-sunset inspired atmosphere— truly a remarkable work of art.

From Paris with love, Hazem Beltagui just brought to Macarize “Insomnia EP”, and the only thing he wants is for you to take-part in this magical journey of his!

Release Date: in a few hours

PROFF- Interstellar / Steps

Vladimir Ershov, famously known as PROFF in the EDM circuit, has just appeared with another quality release on the world's most-beloved progressive house label, Anjunadeep! The release dubbed as "Interstellar / Steps" spawned two chart-worthy tunes "Interstellar" and "Steps", which in fact currently rank 78th and 77th on the Beatport top 100 progressive house tunes respectively.


"Interstellar" carries the unmistakable sound of PROFF-- electrifying bass perfectly accompanied by a set of mind-levitating atmospheric pads as well as layers of mystical arps. By the time the track hits the breakdown, it just sinks into a sea of bliss! This is the sound of PROFF, the sound loved by the millions of people in the progressive house circuit!


The second track, "Steps" is a bit different through. This time, PROFF comes up with something a bit heavy as embodied by the kicks, but at the same time, still retaining that cool vibe present in most of his productions. As "Steps" reaches the breakdown, it reminds us listeners of euphoric and gravity-defying arp progressions made famous by Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep founders, Above & Beyond. In a way, "Steps" brings back some of the good nostalgic vibes from PROFF himself, and not to mention, the Anjuna outfit!


"Interstellar / Steps" is out now on Beatport. This is PROFF, once again keeping progressive house music real!

Miguel Libre- Intriphisticated EP

Miguel Libre is part of the youngest and newest generation of electronic music producers in Manila, Philippines, and his name has finally landed on Deeper Manila with his debut release entitled Intriphisticated EP! 

This release yields two originals from Miguel: Intriphisticated and We're From the Deep, while producers Aerodynamic Xpress, DJ X-Cite, Marc Systematic, MicFreak, and label owner Justin de Guzman also contribute their respective remixes for this huge release.

Intriphisticated, a soundtrack made up of edgy stabs, stubby bass, and multi-layered atmospheric pads, is the first in this release. On to the remixes: first we have a remix from the Italian duo Aerodynamic Xpress, expect a pitch-black atmospheric interpretation of the original! DJ X-Cite's remix, on the other hand, carries a handful of elements of the original, but this time, the original gets twisted into a more haunting tune. 

For the third remix, Markovskyh Vladyslav, or simply Marc Systematic, puts forth another stunning adrenaline-pumping techno track! For people who still crave for a harder version of Intriphisticated, MicFreak (Michael Cobaria) made sure you guys get to experience one. MicFreak made sure that his remix on Intriphisticated would blow your heads off, guaranteed.

We're From the Deep, which serves as side B of the release, portrays the smoother yet darker side of Miguel Libre's productions. Drift deep with hypnotizing leads and ultra-groovy bass! Giving the release a soulful close, Justin de Guzman turns the deep sounds of We're From the Deep into one groovy Rhodes-driven body-swingin' piece.

2 Stupid Gods- In the Dziurka EP

2 Stupid Gods is not one of those costumed duos playing electro bangers in warehouse gigs. 2 Stupid Gods is actually a Polish duo made up of Piotr Bejnar and  Jacek Tworkowski who just released a splendid release, "In the Dziurka" on one of the world's most prestigious deep house labels, Night Drive Music! For the remixes, expect top-notched material from SLG, Po-_On, and the tandem Mikita & Juerga. 


In the Dziurka (Original)
It starts with a loop of vocal snippets, rhodes loops, and the magic comes in! The original version of "In the Dziurka" is a track that spells out summer, love, bliss, all in one track-- a perfect five star for this! 

In the Dziurka (SLG Remix)
Lukasz Seliga, another Polish artist, appears on this release as SLG! Seliga goes to the body-jerking side of tech as he unleashes his brilliant reinterpretation as second in the package.


In the Dziurka (Po-_On Remix)  
This remix is the proper, for the lack of a better term, "club mix" of the release with its loops and rejuvenating piano solo. Although the looping build-up is a bit lengthy, it prepares its listeners to the interplay of the said piano solo and the loops! Pure class.


In the Dziurka (Mikita & Juerga Remix)
Yet another duo of talented Polish producers joins the fun! Mikolaj Mikita and Kuba Juerga Maćkowski send in a stunning rework of the original. Remixed into something people can really dance to while at the same time retaining the essence of the original version of
"In the Dziurka"-- and this is the main reason why we find the Mikita & Juerga remix as our personal favorite! 


In the Dziurka (Piano Edit- Digital Only) 
Roughly a week ago the vinyl release of "In the Dziurka" hit the stores worldwide, and everyone loved the pink marble design of the vinyl. Now that the digital copies have reached the online portals, the guys behind 2 Stupid Gods have something in store for all you people who prefer MP3s over vinyls, and it's this magnificent piano edit! What do you think of this version? We would like to hear from you!

[Insider's Review] Adam Zahran- Revolver

Hailing all the way from Alexandria, Egypt, Adham Zahran debuts on the French deep house music label, Brown Eyed Boyz Records with "Revolver"! Deep Space Orchestra, a music project by Scotland-based producers Si Murray and Chris Barker, also appears on the release with a brilliant remix for "Revolver". As the second insider's review on Soundscapes, we got in touch with Adham Zahran himself to spill some insights regarding his latest release on BEBR.

The last time we had Adham here on Soundscapes was during the release of "Purple Sunday", the highly-acclaimed deep and soothing collaboration track with his brother, Zahran. Listeners who supported that release wanted  more, but what they did not know is that Adham here has been working on something delightful as a suitable follow-up to the release. When asked what his inspiration to "Revolver", he simply said, "Well, nothing specific really, just a late night Monday vibe." So the next release from Adham would probably be patterned after a hazy Tuesday afternoon-- well, that we still do not know for now. 

For Adham, "Revolver" is something soulful, deep, and soothing. Well, of course, if you have been following Adham's releases lately, you would notice that he is slowly building up an arsenal of soothing grooves and deep vibes. Aside from that, he finds "Revolver" as a very exciting release as a producer because first, this is his first release on the prestigious France-based deep house label, Brown Eyed Boyz Records, and second, his original track fell onto the hands of Deep Space Orchestra for remix duties. As expected, the remix by DSO brought to shore a deeper reinterpretation on Adham's track!

"Revolver", with the Deep Space Orchestra remix, is now exclusively available on Beatport. It will hit the other record stores worldwide starting June 1 of this year! If you enjoyed the release and this insider's review, please support Adham's latest release right here right now!
