Boomerang

Cherry (UA) aka Ukraine based DJ and producer Oleh Cherkes kicks off 2019 with the superb Boomerang which also features a remix from Miss Monique on his previously released and well received Masakra. No stranger to the scene, Oleh has several releases on various labels and his music enjoys a lot of support from across the board. He is also known for his dynamic, building sets that always pleases the crowd. He is notching up quite an impressive catalogue of solid tracks here for us as well as providing top notch remixes. An artist who is certainly on the up, we always look forward to his latest offerings.

Boomerang is delivered in true Cherry (UA) style, full of cosmic elements and hypnotic phrases. A solid, beefy groove is made up of chunky kicks and warm, rolling basses while mesmerizing melodies float overhead. The track builds and builds sucking us in to the break where we’re treated to goose bump note changes before climaxing back to the main groove, top notch stuff, a must have.

My Space continues the space-age like theme on this release with a trek deep into the cosmos, complete with robotic voices and infectious arpeggios. A tight drum section powers the rhythm as driving, rolling basses deliver a steady cadence for us to get down to. The arps really stand out, totally mesmerizing and on the break, they rise to a blistering climax making this the perfect track for peak time, no doubt.

Ukrainian DJ and producer Miss Monique joins us at Bonzai Progressive for her debut with a remix of Masakra and we’re hugely impressed with the delivery.
