Making her label debut, Amonita joins the Proportion roster with her beautiful ‘Riviera.’ Describing herself as “a dreamy fairy, DJ and musician,” the best-selling Organic House artist is an ever-evolving force where “beauty, harmony and aesthetics” are found throughout her music. A regular on such celebrated imprints as All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep and Shanti Radio, ‘Riviera’ is redolent in a beautiful and ethereal narrative that glistens through Amonita’s use of live acoustic instruments and synthesizer melodies.

Developed over 7-minutes, a swathe of cascading melodies and counterpoint motifs create a stunning sonic smorgasbord as a whispering vocal adds a layer of magical intrigue. Backed by a deep kick, smooth sub-bass and body-shaking percussive groove of hats and shakers, Amonita’s ‘Riviera’ is a joy to behold.

First up on remix duties, Michael Coninx is a hugely influential figure within the underground house and techno fraternity. Under his Hermanez production soubriquet, the Belgian artist has consistently found himself at the upper echelons of the Progressive, Deep and Organic House charts with a string of hits dating back to a 2009 debut on Edu Imbernon’s Eklektisch.

Another Proportion debutant, the Hermanez remix is a glorious groove-laden affair that makes elegant use of the melodic foundations of ‘Riviera’ while combining them with a panoply of additional production material that showcases the Belgian’s unique sound.

The final remix sees Ranta take centre stage. An artist with a strong identity, his use of organic instruments and Slavic melodies creates a story of vivid impressions to immerse the listener in a special atmosphere. With such a powerful sonic vision, it is little wonder the Russian producer has featured on a plethora of blue-chip Organic House imprints since an early-2021 debut on RYNTH.

A third Proportion debutant now sees Ranta deliver a beautifully crafted interpretation that takes Amonita’s original and transforms it into a powerful club-friendly affair. Making intelligent use of ‘Riviera’s’ melodic sweep and breathy vocal stanzas, Ranta takes elements central to the original and creates a pulsating remix that revels in a growling bassline sequence and chunky rhythmic foundation.

You can now listen to the full premiere of Hermanez’s ‘Riviera’ remix, exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
