Movement Recordings presents a new progressive house release from Ellroy with the ‘Amaretto EP’. Drawing on a background shaped by Ukrainian roots and a decade based in Montreal, Ellroy returns with a three track showcase that highlights his refined and groove focused approach to progressive house.
Known for earning consistent support from some of the scene’s most respected tastemakers, Ellroy has steadily built a reputation for delivering music that balances hypnotic rhythm, emotional depth and club ready functionality. With releases spanning labels such as Mango Alley, One of a Kind, Balkan Connection, Moon Harbour, Dear Deer and 303Lovers, his sound continues to resonate across underground dancefloors worldwide.
Opening the EP is ‘Manice’, a smooth and rolling introduction that sets the tone with a warm low end groove and understated melodic movement. Subtle percussion details and evolving textures create a patient build, allowing the track to unfold naturally while maintaining a steady sense of momentum, ideal for deeper moments in a DJ set.
The title track ‘Amaretto’ anchors the release with a more pronounced melodic presence. A driving bassline underpins carefully layered synth work, while delicate atmospheres and refined effects guide the track through a hypnotic progression. Balancing energy and restraint, the track delivers a confident narrative that feels equally suited to late night floors and immersive listening.
Closing the EP is ‘Sleep Division’, which leans into a darker and more introspective mood. Pulsing rhythms and shadowy textures intertwine with subtle harmonic shifts, creating tension and release without sacrificing flow. The result is a deep late hour cut that rounds out the EP with a mature and atmospheric finish.
With Amaretto, Ellroy delivers a cohesive and forward thinking progressive house release, reaffirming his ability to craft timeless club music with emotional resonance and technical precision.
