Guy J deserves a medal for his services to progressive house, so innovative and crucial have his productions been to the genre. His tracks stand tall and proud in a field of dying poppies, unafraid of their melodic heritage yet respective of the need for change.

Guy J’s new track ‘Shaman’ is a perfect example of the kind of risks progressive house producers need to take.

Full of delicately vibrating layers of sound, ‘Shaman’ glimmers with superior sound quality and intricate harmonies that remind of James Holden at his best.

It’s an incredibly complex piece of music, but beyond its technological boastings, there is a real head-swirling effect - like that dream where you try to run away, but somehow end up floating above your own body unable to move.

That’s what progressive body music should be.
