Behind the Progressive House : Release Notes

A storied artist with a rich seam of high-quality releases to his name, Nicolas Rada is a welcome addition to the Meanwhile catalogue with a superb twin-track offering in the shape of Glasgow / Riot. Operating out of his Buenos Aires home, Nicolas Rada has been at the forefront of the Progressive House scene for almost 2 decades. As part of the artist roster under the Analog Agency banner, Nicolas has travelled the world, spanning the continents with performances in Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, Netherlands, Hungary, Scotland, and not forgetting his Argentina homeland. Contemporaneously, a production career has seen Nicolas Rada scale rarified heights. From early work and almost a century of credits on Balkan Connection South America, to work on Lee Burridges Tale & Tone, Nick Warrens The Soundgarden and fellow countryman Hernan Cattaneos Sudbeat Music, the Argentinean star has shone brightly in the underground dance firmament with over 400 production credits to his name. Now gracing Meanwhile with his sizeable talent, Glasgow is a typically powerful offering that revels in a thumping beat, off-beat hats and running 16th note bassline. Picking up the pace in the second movement, subtle melodic motifs begin to accentuate the rhythmic collage as they seamlessly develop over the 8-minute timeframe. Atmospheric pads and steam-pressured white-noise risers add to the overall feel as Glasgow hits its height in delay-infused melodic patterns that propel it forward to an epic conclusion. The cleverly named Riot immediately excites with its complex rhythmic arrangement and bassline narrative that extends the vibe of its partner track. With bouncing phrasing, it syncopates effortlessly alongside a cascading array of melodic characters that build in dizzying fashion. Using vocal samples drawn from the classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas film, first used by the likes of Chicagos iconic progressive breaks act, Grayarea, the spoken word melds effortlessly with the shimmering synth stabs and textured pads. The result is a 24-carat modern progressive jewel that sparkles from start to finish. Making a welcome Meanwhile debut, Nicolas Rada lays down a powerful marker with Glasgow / Riot.
