Review: Masters of melodic, atmospheric and - whisper it quietly - progressive house music All Day I Dream can always be relied upon to deliver the goods, especially on their twice-yearly 'sampler' compilations. The imprint's latest volume, the fourth winter-themed set in total, is another expansive, action-packed affair featuring no less than 16 cuts capable of warming the cockles of your heart. After starting with an ear-pleasing chunk of bouncy, tuneful sonic bliss from Sebastien Leger and Tim Green, the set confidently rolls between richly percussive deep house warmth (LEGATO, Double Touch), hazy early morning wooziness (Zone+), glassy-eyed vocal loveliness (David Orin), fluid broken house (Padre) tech-tinged, dubbed-out hypnotism (Ramiro Drisdale).
Review: A Canadian producer slowly starting to make his mark on the progressive scene is Micah Paul Lukasewich. With music so far released on labels like Global Underground, Ruhnsong and now Balance Music, he teams up with vocalist Kiki Cave to deliver two tracks of bona-fide progressive bliss. With super crisp production to boot, Micah Paul Lukasewich goes the whole-hog in "Evening Winds" that takes the track through a sidewinding session of effervescent synths, turned-out crescendos and subtle yet flying arpeggios. Kiki Cave gives it that extra sultry, God-like touch with her breathy vocals and melancholic charm in a single that's got HIT! written all over it.
