The latest offering from Madloch's Sound Avenue welcomes Matias Vila back to the label for a new single. Having first appeared on the Belgian imprint in 2012, the Argentinean producer has grown into one of the label's core artists. Matias has developed a transcendent sound which is all his own, one where organic qualities marry groovy basslines and psychedelic design in a highly stylized fashion. Having last appeared on Sound Avenue with the beloved ‘Ahora', a track which highlighted the label's 2018 ‘Summer Sampler' and eventually went on to receive a remix from Hermanez and Eran Aviner in 2019. Played for months by world class DJ Hernan Cattaneo, the remix enjoyed an extended stay in Beatport's Top 10 and by year's sat atop the label's best-selling tracks. Now presenting his first new music in over three years, Matias makes a welcome return to Sound Avenue with ‘Union Eterna', alongside remixes from Sebastian Sellares and Weird Sounding Dude.
As a producer beloved by both his fans and contemporaries, Matias has reached new levels with ‘Union Etera'. From its dusty, organic beginnings come deep and charming qualities. Low slung, key changing basslines provide the anchor for layers of exotic percussion and fuzzy overlays to work their magic. Transcendent emotions emanate from this perfect marriage, eventually setting the stage for a gorgeous three-minute interlude. Exquisitely produced, the centrepiece moves through sentimental phrasing and effervescent effects, melting down to a quiet calm and gently building back up as layers of percussion create a bridge into an impassioned finale. Additionally, Matias has provided a Dub version which carries the same organic qualities but with a greater emphasis on rhythm and groove, with hints of the lead teased across the nine-minute journey.
Making his label debut and providing the first interpretation of ‘Union Eterna' is Sebastian Sellares. Also known under his previous moniker Monje, Sebastian hails from one of Argentina's most talent rich regions in Cordoba. Since adopting his given name for his musical endeavours in 2018, Sebastian has gone on to showcase his music via UK behemoth Anjunadeep, Antrim's Or Two Strangers, GMJ and Matter's meanwhile and US powerhouse Proton Music. Now adding Sound Avenue to his resume, Sebastian debuts on the label with a stunning rendition of ‘Union Eterna'. Utilizing the parts beautifully, Sebastian re-assembles them in a more progressive context with no loss of the organic qualities which lend to their great character. A shapely, driving groove serves as the vehicle for reprocessed phrases to steal the air, while percussive rides and fragmented effects carry the narrative into an ethereal break. Offset pianos complement the main melody as the centrepiece evolves, adding greater musical depth, while bringing hopeful moments and ultimately setting up an epic, key changing finale.
Also making his label debut and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘Union Eterna' is Weird Sounding Dude. Based in Bangalore, the Indian artist has grown into one of his country's most beloved progressive house producers. As a firm favourite of the genre's most highly regarded tastemakers, Weird Sounding Dude has compiled an impressive discography with standout releases via Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, Nick Warren's The Soundgarden and UK behemoth Anjunadeep. Also notching appearances on Sound Avenue affiliates 3rd Avenue and Future Avenue, Weird Sounding Dude continues what has been an inspired 2021 with a thrilling take on ‘Union Eterna'. Atop compact beats comes a forest of effervescent percussion and a wall of wavy, shape shifting bass. Mysterious and driving throughout, it's a heady amalgamation of sound which makes for an energetic yet atmospheric journey. Although primarily operating as a dub, warm overlays and melodious cascades highlight a concise yet impactful break, bringing with it chromatic warmth and reflective moments, before the groove resets and puts a cap on this creative gem. It rounds out a welcome return to Sound Avenue for Matias Vila, who after a three year hiatus has delivered his most inspired creation to date.
