Behind the Progressive House : Release Notes

Back for a full debut on Meanwhile, Ruben Karapetyan returns with a twin-track offering of impressive stature as he delivers Nostalgic Moments / Perceptual Isolation. Formerly hailed as Armenias top electronic music export back in the late 1990s, Ruben Karapetyan has continued to find himself at the forefront of the global Progressive House community with a distinctive sound palette. A double century of production credits since a November 2020 release on Tashs Movement Recordings and the Armenian has not looked back. A host of original and remix production material has since found its way onto the likes of Paul Thomas UV, John 00 Flemings JOOF Aura and 30 credits for Mangos top-selling Mango Alley. Moreover, Ruben has also found notable success on his own RKP label. Opening his Meanwhile account in July 2023 as part of the Meanwhile Excursions, Vol. 3 compilation, Ruben Karapetyan illustrates impressive flair with opener, Nostalgic Moments. Fuelled by percussive verve and effortless bass groove, it is certain to rip up dancefloors. Full of gravitas and a deep dark character, an increasing number of rhythmic layers add groove aplenty while a breakdown introduces increasing energy via pitched effect and snare rolls. The drop back into the earlier bass groove is a joy to behold. The lighter, more airy qualities of Perceptual Isolation creates a magical touch that glistens and shimmers through the early phases. A subtle bassline sequence adds depth and club-friendly quality while the smooth melodic flourishes are able to shine through the delicate breakdown. Picking up the pace again in the third movement, a delicate and meandering acid-tinged arpeggio adds another memorable touch. Reflecting on beautifully imagined nostalgia, Ruben Karapetyan reflects in glorious isolation with Nostalgic Moments / Perceptual Isolation. Directed by GMJ & Matter Mastered by Cid Inc.
