The 82nd release from Ray Of Light Records unfolds like a whispered secret in the deep, dark corners of the progressive house scene-Dougal Fox's latest single, 'Inner Portrait', is a hypnotic, vocal-laced techno throbber that sinks its claws into the psyche and refuses to let go. Crafted with an organic touch and a keen sense of atmosphere, this track pushes boundaries while honoring the raw, emotional core of electronic music.
Over the past two years, Dougal Fox has become a vital force within the progressive house world, steadily carving out a niche defined by his ability to marry melodic richness with a relentless club pulse. Supported by icons like Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha & John Digweed, and Nick Warren, Fox's compositions resonate deeply with the underground elite, earning respect and reverence with each release.
'Inner Portrait' lives up to its name-a sonic self-reflection painted with dark melodic hues and hypnotic rhythms. The vocal element adds an intimate layer, drawing listeners into a meditative trance where the boundaries between dancefloor energy and ambient introspection blur seamlessly. It's a track that demands both physical movement and emotional surrender.
This release also nods to the summer's limited edition coloured vinyl-a rare V/A compilation that showcased Ray Of Light Records' finest recent highlights, with Dougal Fox at the forefront. That record was a testament to the label's commitment to quality and authenticity, a vibrant snapshot of a scene in constant evolution.
In the spirit of Dom Phillips' heady and raw storytelling, 'Inner Portrait' is more than just a club track; it's a textured journey through the shadows and light of electronic soundscapes. Smooth yet untamed, flighty yet grounded, it's a beacon for those who seek music that transcends mere beats-a true inner exploration set to hypnotic grooves.
For anyone hunting for the pulse of progressive house today, Dougal Fox and 'Inner Portrait' offer a raw, electrifying dose of authenticity and artistry-pure sound, pure emotion, pure night-time magic.
