• Type: EP

The latest release from Tash's Movement Recordings finds Paul Lennar, Arbey Gonzalez and Alium collaborating on a special EP project. Hailing from Colombia, Paul Lennar and Arbey Gonzalez have achieved measurable success in their respective solo careers. The duo's sound often finds a nice balance between progressive, organic and melodic house, while their combined discography is highlighted by releases on trendsetting imprints such as Deepwibe Underground, Nature Rec, Or Two Strangers and Perfecto Black. Now, joining forces with newcomer and fellow countryman Alium, the trio lands on Movement Recordings with their collaborative debut 'Rocking Stereo', alongside a remix from Aaron Suiss.

The title selection finds Paul and Arbry combining their extensive forces for an uplifting slice of progressive house. Warm basslines and flickering percussion serve as the anchor for emotionally resonant hooks and jangly motifs to work their magic leading into the main break. A sweeping sonic experience all its own, the centrepiece flows through emotive chord changes and wind-swept effects, as the main melody rises, eventually giving way for waves of phasing noise and a groovy finale. The companion piece 'Arisen Earlier' finds Paul collaborating with Alium for an equally emotive dance floor creation. The Colombian duo work soulful melodic motifs atop warm rippling grooves and bucolic sonics for the ultimate set closing experience.

The release concludes with Aaron Suiss returning to the label following his Q.U.A.K.E collaboration from 2020. Hailing from the USA but now calling Thailand home, the Koh Phangan resident reworks 'Arisen Earlier' in fine fashion to round out the EP. Aaron's tough yet groovy architecture and scintillating synth flares set the course a heartfelt break and thrilling drop which is perfectly dialled for a peak time dance floor.
