Irish DJ and producer Mike Walshe aka Satinka is back at Bonzai Progressive with a tantalising progressive breaks groover entitled A Hopeful Dawn. Based in Perth, Australia, Mike focuses in on the underground side of Trance, Psytrance and Progressive with his music being supported on many worldwide radioshows. His last outing Deep Within EP came back at the end of 2015 and gained great support among the community with its mesmeric grooves and surreal qualities. Delighted to see him back once more and no doubt we’ll be seeing even more in the future.

A Hopeful Dawn intros with a beautifully surreal sequence of sounds comprised of swirling pads, distant voices and a chunky break beat pattern. The breaks continue with dominance as a deep rooted growling bassline enters the fray. Cool melodic arps are introduced to add a wonderfully textured layer. Intricate patterns form up in the drum section creating a rhythmic flow to the track as heavenly vocals fill out the background. A fantastic sound with uplifting qualities that will most definitely appeal to many.

From Dust & Darkness delivers an epic progressive breaks trip that will both captivate and liberate. A solid breaks section provides the backbone of the track alongside cool shuffling percussions that dish out a nice flowing rhythmic vibe. Space age synths and cascading arps blend effortlessly together to create some memorable melodies that are capped off with the most beautiful choir-like vocal. This one is a monster and will no doubt find its way into many sets, a must have.
