Damir & Dubmin - Dreaming

Damir & Dubmin have shown us they love progressive house, it's becoming clear that they don't just love the stuff but clearly feel they have a stake in advancing it. Kicking off with "Dreaming" immediately has a stuttering, swinging kick drum and little else at the start: It's economical but efficient in marking out vast, warm analogue spaces in which vocal shadows lurk before echoing, reverbing claps and percussion add some paunch to the punch.

JoeCharlie & Sink The Pink remix slows things down for a track stuffed with the same faded neon nylon strings as excellent collaboration from both producers. The track bounds along on a simple bass/synth hook combo that is captivating in its austerity. Its velvet-clad paws are unquestionably the track's centrepiece, but they never dominate, allowing the rest of the elements-vaporous pads and lolloping keys included-ample space to breathe.

The remix of Abraham goes darker with his effort, adding a creeping sinister synth that gets ever more gravelly as the track progresses. It's sound, but the majority of the plaudits will surely remain on the mantelpiece of the original.

It's dreamy and ambitious, but with the bassline of the original left relatively unaltered, it still manages to retain an earthy groove whose excellence has become something of a given..
