As onedotsixtwo reaches the milestone of their 50th release they have enlisted the talents of John Cosani who has created three hugely powerful original tracks, all featuring his signature deep, groove-laden production style. With recent releases on Sudbeat, Warung and Plaisirs Sonores Records, plus many more, and over one hundred and fifty release credits, John is one of the progressive scenes biggest stalwarts.
To further mark this landmark release, the legendary Nick Muir has taken the title track, Centauro, and put his unique stamp on it, and Montreal’s Hicky & Kalo have supplied a stunning peak-time version of Bootes.
The EP opens with Centauro, a tough slice of razor-sharp prog with all the hallmarks of a late-night groover, full of twists and turns, it takes you deep into the rabbit hole. Bootes follows with a lighter, more playful, mood. A shimmering arpeggiated top-line synth skips over a bubbling bass and rounded kicks pierced by sharp claps and shakers. Next up, the third and final original, Saints, is a beautiful rolling piece, full of positive energy and euphoric melodies. Driven by a deep growling bass, it bounces effortlessly back and forth while mesmerizing keys float over a tight percussive rhythm.
First up on remix duties is a man who needs little introduction. One half of the legendary Bedrock, alongside John Digweed, and a hugely accomplished solo producer, Nick Muir has taken the title track, Centauro, and injected it with a solid dose of peak-time energy. Just wait for THAT break. Hicky & Kalo, the pair behind the excellent Plaisirs Sonores imprint, have taken Bootes and morphed it into a building and cascading pool of energy and euphoria. With hugely popular recent releases on Replug, Sudbeat, their own Plaisirs Sonores, and many others, it is easy to see why they have been tipped for stardom.
You can now listen to the full premiere of Hicky & Kalo’s remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
