[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................
The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes
Ultraverse to the label for his debut EP. Based in Ireland,
Ultraverse first emerged in 2016 with releases via Crop Circle
and Morninglory Music. Drawing inspiration from Depeche Mode,
Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Burridge and Sasha, Ultraverse quickly
established himself in the world of progressive music. In
building a meticulous discography over the next five years, the
Dublin resident continued to refine his sound, eventually
earning the recognition of world class DJ Nick Warren who signed
him to his The Soundgarden imprint as part of the label's 2020
Winter Collection. Now coming off the lead selection on BC2's
400th release, Ultraverse continues on an upwards trajectory
with his Dopamine White debut 'Rubicon', alongside a remix from
Menkee.
Beginning with the pulsating hypno grooves of the title
selection, Ultraverse marries fluid rhythms with heady effects
and radiant atmospheres. Evolving percussive arrangements and
timely melodic accents add nicely to its mediative pulse, before
shifting energy into a captivating break. Understated in nature,
the centrepiece delights with shimmering arrays and a spoken
word narrative, building intrigue and tension before a gentle
rush of drums summons the groove for a deep and engaging finale.
The companion piece 'Arabian Nights' proves to be a perfect
complement with its hip swinging cadence and cross-cultural
motifs. Icy pads and percussive rides add nicely to its glacial
flow as the main break approaches. Tense and meditative in equal
measure, the interlude saturates your senses with a transcendent
vocal element, wonderfully offset with atmospheric tension,
before reaching a gentle crescendo and percussive final movement.
The release concludes with Menkee also making his label debut
and providing the lone interpretation of 'Rubicon'. Hailing from
Switzerland, Menkee has been a fixture of the progressive music
underground for the better part of a decade. Releases via Balkan
Connection, BC2, Mirabilis Records, MNL and Pro B Tech Music
highlight his discography, while support has come in from the
likes of genre tastemaker Hernan Cattaneo. Now making his
Dopamine White debut, Menkee turns in a groovy rendition of
'Rubicon'. Engaging from the outset, buoyant kicks and rhythmic
pulses converge for a fluid foundation, while vibrant percussion
and swirling sonics bring texture to the groove. Building an
emotive narrative across the first act, nostalgic melodies and
hazy harmonics unite for impassioned moments. Sitting at the
heart of the journey, the centrepiece delights with its timeless
appeal, where billowing bass swells anchor a cloud of melodic
fragments and intriguing vocal phrases, before smoothly segueing
into a heartfelt finale. An inspired remix from Menkee which
rounds out an impressive label debut for both himself and
Ultraverse, two artists on the rise in the world of progressive
house.
