First up we have Silva & Vogts’ Cinematic which delivers a sublime progressive groove filled with deep and lush basses alongside captivating synth sequences. The intro boasts a solid kick drum and shuffling hi hat before being joined by warming, deep low end basses. A very subtle retro theme comes out of the vocals, how they merge effortlessly with the music, this gives the track a distinct flavour that will definitely appeal to many. A cacophony of melodies are linked through simple one shot synths to complex arpeggios and wonderful pianos giving this one a dynamic feel. An absolute gem of a track that is not to be missed.

Seth goes solo on Silverfish Evenings which intros with a nice and tight percussion arrangement before a punchy kick drum takes over. Short, stabbing analogue bass notes fill the sound beautifully and are contrasted by mesmerizing pads and intricate melodic patterns. Rich vocals sweep across the sound grabbing your attention and pulling you into the sound even deeper. The break is truly sublime with beautifully tweaked pads and bright piano melodies blending nicely, taking us higher before the beat comes back for the duration. Top notch stuff and a must have for sure.

Seth’s next solo effort comes in the form of Starz Fade, a fantastic slice of progressive house music that will most definitely grab a lot of attention. The track intros with a punchy kick and shuffling hi hat combi as tight percussions form up to deliver a smooth rhythmic flow. Sweet and melodic synths and pads fade in, locking us into the groove. A deep, probing bassline weaves through the low end before a more prominent, droning bass takes over. A strong vocal comes in beside a gorgeous piano sequence taking the track to the next level. Stark contrasts are drawn between the subtle melodies and the deeper bass elements with the vocal sitting perfectly within the sound. Simply stunning.
