Central to the South American underground dance scene, Buenos Aries accounts for a growing number of high-profile artists. Amongst those ranks, N’Pot and Nahue Juarez now bring their “Unforgettable Summer” to Particles combined with a pair of scintillating remixes.

Through his N’Pot alter-ego, Nicolàs Delfino defines his sound “characterized by a dark progressive style…and hypnotic grooves.” With no shortage of takers, music signed to MNL, Balkan Connection and Superordinate Music has seen N’Pot supported by icons including Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo. Similarly, Nahue Juarez commands attention with his distinctive style, rooted in deep and progressive house. A raft of imprints has seen music signed to Clinique, Soulfire and The Purr as he joined forces with N’Pot on January 2016’s “Selcouth” for Stellar Fountain. Now reprising their relationship, opener, “Endless Summer” mesmerises with its deep kick and hypnotic clave-led groove. A swathe of modulated pads sweeps across the stereo spectrum, punctuated by off-beat chords and rippling, delay-drenched keys. A beautifully crafted breakdown adds further levels of melodic magic. Mirroring the same deep kick as its predecessor, “Unforgettable Memories” revels in rich melodic sequences and pads awash with white-noise shimmer and pulsating power. A loquacious vocal sample adds depth and intrigue as a rolling groove and intermittent piano motif showcase N’Pot and Juarez’s craft and technique.

Belgian producer, Modulo, has been a regular on the German label, Nie Wieder Schlafen. March 2017’s “Energy Patterns” was a notable highlight with its quartet of original tracks and remixes from Kotu and Felix Wittich. Coming together with fellow countryman, Monotribe, on “Panacea”, the pair produced a standout moment on the “Find the Truth” EP in September 2017. Joining forces once more, the Modulo & Monotribe remix creates a beautiful melodic extension of N’Pot & Nahue Juarez’s original. With a thumping kick in play and shuffling hi-hat pattern to provide urgency, a sublime new vocal section adds to a glorious interpretation full of dance floor credentials and distorted guitar riff that lacerates through the mid-range. An emotive new bass progression locks tight against groove and melody in an innovative and skilful work.

From the port city of Rosario in north-east Argentina, Lucas Degiorgi immersed himself in music from an early age, influenced by iconic artists such as Depeche Mode and Daft Punk. Production work has seen him feature on a clutch of impressive imprints including OLD SQL, Mystique Music and Liquid Grooves – the latter accounting for the seven-track, “Veronica” album in January 2018. With his trademark “darker tone” permeating through his music, Lucas Degiorgi debuts on Particles with a ten-minute odyssey that builds intelligently with twinkling keys and new melodic phrasing. Taking the vocal sample of the original and wrapping it in textured and pulsing pads, his interpretation of is characterised by a new stepped arpeggio sequence at the mid-point that erupts into the third movement in grooved precision, providing genuine originality to N’Pot and Juarez’s work.
