Greek musician Greg Filaretos, also known as P4SS3NG3R, makes a welcome return to Bonzai progressive with his latest release ‘The Way’, featuring stunning vocals from Pelany. P4SS3NG3R is primarily known for producing psytrance, but he also explores other genres such as progressive house under his P4SS3NG3R alias, trance using his Soundpass moniker, and indie dance music with Bellar C, alongside vocalist Bellar Chaimov. Throughout his career, he has created outstanding releases and collaborations worldwide. His progressive sound is both unique and hypnotic, blending elements of trance and techno with haunting melodies and structured basslines. His beats build up the tension on the dance floor, adding subtle but meticulously crafted layers that are instantly recognizable. P4SS3NG3R’s productions and remixes maintain his signature sound while continuously evolving.

We begin with ‘The Way’ which intros with a muted kick, soft hats and a hypnotic percussion. Chunky beats take control alongside a warm, rolling bassline. Pelany’s enchanting vocals tease as the groove evolves with subtle musicality. Cascading arps build us to the break where the vocal comes to the fore, suspending time before plucky arps and strong pads takes us to the final act. Superb stuff once again. ‘Monologue’ concludes the release and follows suit in the hypnotic department with a stunning construction. Silky beats and a powerful bassline drive the groove as creamy arps combine, forming mystic melodies that accompany the vocal beautifully. A minimal structure with a huge impact that will definitely dominate the floors.
