Ezequiel Arias returns to Anjunadeep with ‘Extended’ - a special collection of extended mixes not previously released on streaming platforms, now available everywhere digitally and as an exclusive vinyl.

Hailing from Córdoba, a city in Argentina known for its vibrant progressive house scene, Ezequiel has spent over a decade honing his craft in the studio and behind the decks. Long championed as a future star by Argentinian electronic music legend Hernán Cattáneo, his recent momentum has skyrocketed. Sold-out parties where Ezequiel is the sole act on the lineup playing all-night sets have become the norm, alongside a touring schedule that has taken him around the world several times already in 2025. Particular highlights from this year include standout sets at Anjunadeep Malta and Anjunadeep Explorations festival in Albania, the release of highly anticipated track ‘Dream Controller’ in collaboration with Durante, and an unparalleled five Beatport #1s in the Progressive House chart.




The new ‘Extended’ product contains six Ezequiel Arias tracks. Side A spans his recent ‘ReAnimation EP’ including the title track, ‘Delirio’, and ‘What Is Music’, while Side B includes ‘Perfect Dream’, Anjunadeep 15 fan favourite ‘Love Rhythm’, and ‘Solar’, Ezequiel’s first release on the label as also featured in Anjunadeep 12.

[item value="10"]Ezequiel Arias & Durante - Dream Controller [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Ezequiel Arias and Durante join forces to craft the stunning progressive house gem “Dream Controller,” a prime-time floor weapon brimming with technical mastery and meticulous production. From the very first bars, the track showcases a tight, bouncy groove underpinned by a perfectly layered low-end: the sub bass is clean yet weighty, while the mid-bass drives the rhythmic pulse with a rich, analog warmth. Crisp, dynamic percussion elements are carefully positioned in the stereo field, giving the mix a spacious and energetic character that instantly commands attention. The central synth theme is a study in progressive nuance—bright, hypnotic, and evolving. Arias and Durante employ a variety of sound design techniques, alternating between lush, filtered plucks and darker, moodier riffs to create tension and release. Throughout the arrangement, you can hear expert automation of filters, stereo panning, and subtle modulation effects, ensuring that no section feels static. The breakdown is a technical highlight: stripping back to atmospheric textures and the haunting melodic motif, it slowly rebuilds intensity through risers, reverb swells, and delayed FX tails, culminating in a dynamic peak that feels both cinematic and club-ready. From a production standpoint, “Dream Controller” demonstrates why progressive house thrives on detail and evolution. The track leverages carefully chosen presets, layered synth patches, and precise EQ sculpting to achieve clarity at high volumes, making it a powerful tool for DJs in large venues. Its hypnotic progression, combined with its tight mixdown and impactful mastering, ensures it translates seamlessly to any professional sound system. For the modern progressive house arsenal, this track is essential. It exemplifies the balance of groove, melody, and atmosphere that defines the genre, while providing the energy and versatility needed to move a peak-time crowd. In the hands of any skilled DJ, “Dream Controller” isn’t just a track—it’s a weapon capable of elevating a set to unforgettable heights. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

The Anjunadeep Explorations festival in Dhërmi, Albania, concluded another successful edition, delivering six vibrant days and nights filled with diverse musical performances from the Anjuna spectrum. The event showcased a variety of stages, each offering unique experiences.




At the Empire stage, audiences were captivated by sunrise trance classics presented by Marsh, dynamic grooves from Yotto, and a standout set from the legendary Sasha, featuring a rare performance of 'Xpander.' The lineup also included feel-good sets from Rezident, Nicky Elisabeth, CRi, and Romain Garcia, among others.




The Splendor stage emphasized extended sets, with artists such as Dusky, Dosem, Joseph Ray, Simon Doty, and James Grant providing immersive dancefloor journeys. Their performances were noted for their depth and ability to engage audiences throughout.




Other highlights included restorative Anjunachill sessions from Omfeel, PROFF, and Catching Flies, energetic garage sets by Jody Wisternoff and Daniel Curpen, and uplifting trance from Amy Wiles. A spontaneous dance-off erupted during Because Of Art’s Disco Set in The Tent, adding a lively surprise to the festivities. Additionally, numerous back-to-back (B2B) sets energized the pool parties and the iconic Gjipe stage.


For those who missed the festival, select set recordings are being uploaded to YouTube in the coming months. Early-bird tickets for the 2026 edition will be available from Thursday, 3 July, with sign-ups currently open




Ezequiel Arias: A Rising Star in Argentinean DJing

Ezequiel Arias, a resident of Córdoba, Argentina, has established himself as a prominent figure in the country’s emerging DJ scene. Originating from Bariloche, nestled in the foothills of the Andes, Arias’s unique sound has garnered recognition from esteemed artists such as John Digweed and Guy J. However, his most significant endorsement comes from his compatriot Hernán Cattáneo.

Arias’s support for Cattáneo’s flagship shows throughout Argentina has earned him the moniker “El Sucesor.” His contributions have been instrumental in shaping Cattáneo’s reputation.

Arias’s upcoming releases include the EP “What Is Music,” which will be released at Anjunadeep in July, followed by the highly anticipated “ReAnimation EP.” Additionally, he has collaborated with Durante on an unreleased track titled “Dream Controller,” which is set to be released later this year.

[item value="10"] Braxton, Jody Wisternoff & James Grant - SpaceTime (Ezequiel Arias Remix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Braxton, Jody Wisternoff & James Grant brilliant track SpaceTime gets the Ezequiel Arias Remix. The upcoming producer transforms the original into a driving progressive house beauty with spacey melodies, driving pounding basslines, superb energetic percussion, cool vocal snippets and plenty of nice ambient effects to build his own sonic world full of incredible science fiction feel to it! It's the type of track that invites you on the dancefloor with closed eyes and you are pretty sure that you will loose your sense and gravity and you will be elevated in another mythical world that only great music can transcend you in its own little space melancholic but still hopeful! #PureGold Love IT [/content]
