Back in February 2008, Logiztik Sounds aka Uruguay-based producer Nicolas Silvano won our Sasha remix contest with an intricate and uplifting version of ‘Mongoose’.

Since then, Logiztik Sounds has been busy in the studio perfecting his craft, and he has managed to build himself a reputable profile in the progressive house sphere as defined by his recent run of releases on Little Mountain Recordings, Boz Boz, Proton Music and Vapour. He is also one of the only DJs to have had over 1000 listeners tune into his mix on Proton Radio.

Logiztik Sounds’ latest cut ‘The Light’, which was produced alongside his Uruguay-based partner Audiobill, might finally see him reach a tipping point in terms of recognition.

What makes Logiztik Sounds music stand out is his ability to bridge the delicate melodies of yesteryears progressive house with the stripped back aesthetic of today’s modern dance music, without ever fully caving into white-noise breakdowns and driving electro-tech beats. It’s a bit of old and new at the same time.

Taking influence from the dark uplifting house that defined the early years of dance music this decade, the original of ‘The Light’ is the kind of deep hypnotic house that DJs like Anthony Papa and Nick Warren are known for playing. ‘Beyond’, a recent collaboration with Mauricio Duarte, and his recent poignant remix of Lank ‘Twinge’ further exemplify his commitment to the production values and style of progressive house. All are classy and mature productions.

It’s heartwarming to see that a former Beatport remix contest winner is moving on up.
