Existence Records have had a blisteringly successful year in terms of quality artist signings as well as some mighty heavy releases venturing their way through our ear drums by means of the Canadian label.

It seems only right, then, that one of the last releases of 2007 should pull out all the stops and send Existence into 2008 with an almighty bang!

Welcome…..ISOTOPE, with his monster proggressive house stomper Shamisen. 

Hailing from Poland, Dominik Gawronski bombards us with his third release on Existence Records.  With an obvious talent for productions and carving out his own style at only 19 years of age…it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Isotope very very soon. 

Original Mix

Gentle synths introduce the track warmly with the addition of the filtered bass…creating a chilled at atmospheric effect to the track.

Edgy kick drums come in to take it up an notch while the proggy warm bass carries us through to the electro acid tinged effects.

Its all finished off really nicely by kick topped and crisp percussion which stops it veering off into boring prog territory.

This original oozes warmth and makes the most of the French filtered breakdown technique that so many of us have come to know and love. Fantastic pace all the way through the track making this an unmissable entry for all proggy and electro floors!!

Isotope’s Bubble Mix has become a firm favourite with a shed load of proggy house dj’s already…owing its success to the firm bass line and simple melodic riff clearly makes this remix standout.  This has a nice, steady groove – perfect for mid-set and will almost certainly get some serious rhythm going on on the dancefloor…!  The breakdown is very reminiscent of the old skool house scene, most notably the Axwell monster hit “I Found You”!! A must for all sets!

Sonorone remix has all the elements for creating absolute carnage on the dancefloor…seriously – those of frail health then turn it OFF!!! It’s tooooo good, toooo heavy, tooo dirty and far to stompy…it’s clear from this that the Polish Invasion has started as Sonorone is another up and coming Polish porducer…churning out some darn heavy minimistic madness this year already!! Watch this space and enjoy this mix if you dare.

Ogi Gee Cash & Syncronized are a firm favourites with Existence Records and always produce top notch quality remixes…they are certainly carving out their own unique style of smooth groove proggers with so much warmth and with obvious ears for intricate production details, it always makes the Ogi Gee Cash & Syncronized duo a real treat to listen to.
