Slideways presents its 12th installment with one of its edgiest EPs yet and features two spotlight tracks; ‘Skeptic' and ‘Enceladus'.

The title track, ‘Skeptic', is an eerie journey into darkness as a collaboration by Toronto based artists, Aerodroemme and OPL (aka Amber Long). The original combines rolling bass and percussion with a feeling of tension that builds into haunting sirens and horns. The outcome is nothing shy of a runaway train heading deep into the underground.

‘Skeptic' is accompanied by a brilliantly interpreted remix by Rick Pier O'Neil (RPO) who is no stranger to these ominous sides of progressive and techno. He seamlessly takes the original parts deeper into the corners of the after-hours, as only he can do.

The Canadian duo's second presentation, which is aptly titled 'Enceladus', continues into the shadows with a gritty percussive edge and another eerie, space-like soundscape. Again, something for the real 4am dance floor trip.

Closing out the release is a funkier version of 'Enceladus' by UK producer, Tripswitch. Making his Slideways debut, Nick Brennan gives this piece a new found presence and a warm summery glow. It's the perfect alter-ego for the EP and will easily fit a variety of styles this upcoming season!

The ‘Skeptic' EP is certainly not for the faint of heart and will shock the senses enough to throw you into the far reaches of the Slideways.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Slideways is considered to be one of the most forward thinking progressive labels with classy releases so far. The latest EP by Aerodroemme contains the solo track Enceladus and his co-production Skeptic with OPL. Firstly Skeptic is deep moody progressive house track with progressive techno elements that contains pulsating basslines, haunting strings, dark synths and superb percussion of bubbly drums. The breakdown reveals the superb spoken vocal sample that explains that Everyone Is A Skeptic. RPO remix is mininal with steady pulsating basslines, pumpy dark drums, industrial synths, electronic effects and distorted robotic vocals. Enceladus is moving on the same prog house direction with stronger prog techno and psy trance influences. Cinematic strings are added from time to time to make the whole atmosphere mysterious and  very sacred.  Tripswitch remix is an experimental prog house  version with tribal grooves, deep basslines, distorted vocals and melodies with stunning long breakdown. that adds brand new sound layers and mesmerise the listener to the maximum. If you play progressive house certainly this release will travel your audience without moving. #PureGold Love It  [/content]

Back through the Gateway we go... This time Slideways presents three more remixes to Rich Curtis' 'Lower My Voice' ensemble. These artists need no introduction and we're incredibly excited to introduce Oliver Lieb and Ioan Gamboa to the label alongside roster regular, Danny Oliveira (aka DNYO). Each bring a very unique style to Rich's original and add even more deserved clout to this powerful collection.

Journey through the second chapter of the Slideways Gateway Series into the dark reaches of Techno and Progressive House. We're proud to present these incredible pieces of music and we are sure you'll find something that suits you.

We kick off the new year with another Slideways debut, this time coming from Berlin mega-talents, Wellenrausch!

The duo has been affectionately nicknamed 'Darklords' by their following and it's easy to see why with this next offering, set to release on January 18th.

'Sometimes Pianos Cry' oozes the deep, progressive sound that Wellenrausch are notorious for. A kaleidoscopic intro draws you into a deep and brooding groove combined with wonderfully intricate percussion that continuously builds tension up to a dramatic, spine-tingling piano break. A stunning piece of work by the Wellenrausch boys and we're extremely proud to add them to our roster!

Slideways regular, Solid Stone, provides us with the first remix of the package. His fusing of techno and progressive, combined with his signature moody, rumbling bassline & chuggy beats has blended really well with the gentle melody and twinkling piano keys. Solid Stone never disappoints!

The final interpretation of 'Sometimes Pianos Cry' is provided by Michael A, which is another first for the label. Belarus based Michael A lays down a more relaxed, chilled-out vibe with his approach, closing out the EP beautifully.

We hope you love this release as much as we do :)

Enjoy!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Slideways Music reveals the magical track Sometimes Pianos Cry by the beloved project Wellenrausch. The original mix is progressive trance at its very best with minimal travelling smooth dark moody haunting basslines, techy spacious drums and overall great percussion along with vocal chops and dark vintage synthy layers. The result is dreamy, calming, soothing and certainly truly special for the open ears. Solid Stone is well known for his ability to turn anything in gold and his version is even more melodic, even more hypnotic and even more upfront that pleases the senses and elevates your inner being. Dark piano chords, mysterious noises and three dimensional sound design makes instantly the difference. You feel totally addicted and lost in music without second thoughts. Michael A. adds his own spin and the result is simply spacious, sparkling  and perfect for any deep progressive trance set. The swirling synths, the vintage layers and the whole overall atmosphere is giving you the impression of rich wide variety of sound layers that interplay and interact to each other. It's true that sometimes even Pianos can Cry. #PureGold 10/10 Love It
