                          ............................

             Involved in the dance scene for over a decade, Far Distance have 
             continued to make waves with their distinctive Melodic Techno 
             and Progressive House inspired soundtrack.  Returning to 
             Perspectives Digital, the twin-track Alfa Centauri / Horizons EP 
             also features a single remix from seasoned Greek artist, Paul 
             Anthonee.

             A collaborative duo of Basque and Catalan origin, Far Distance 
             have become an established force in the underground club 
             environment.  Almost a century of production credits is evidence 
             of their growing profile with music signed to the likes of Dear 
             Deer, Somatic, Highway Records, and Freegrant Music.  First 
             debuting on Darin Epsilon's imprint in 2021 alongside Stefan 
             Addo, the Hyperspace / Stardust EP was a notable highlight later 
             that year, including a remix from German star, Rauschhaus.

             With their music supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Solomun, 
             and Joris Voorn, Far Distance make a powerful return with the 
             vibrant Alfa Centauri.  A driving beat paves the way for a 
             compelling bassline groove while sumptuous pads shimmer across 
             the stereo spectrum.  A glorious arpeggio adds spine-tingling 
             emotion as it filters and pitches while immaculately syncopated 
             to the percussive cadence.  Pausing for breath at the 
             stripped-back breakdown, new melodies emerge before a rousing 
             crescendo heralds a dramatic drop into the finale.

             Hailing from Nicosia, Cyprus while playing his trade across the 
             Mediterranean on the Greek mainland, Paul Anthonee has been at 
             the forefront of the electronic music scene for more than a 
             decade.  DJing at several key events including Germany's Fusion 
             Festival and Greece's Reworks and Bloque festivals, Paul's 
             production career has simultaneously seen an impressive 
             portfolio, with releases on high-profile imprints including 
             Parquet Recordings, Beatfreak, Steyoyoke, Harabe, Paul Thomas' 
             UV, and his very own Astral Records.  Paul has been on a tear 
             recently with playlist support from leading names in the 
             industry including Tale of Us, Solomun, Maceo Plex, Vintage 
             Culture, and Innellea, amongst many others.

             Now making his Perspectives Digital debut, Paul Anthonee's remix 
             of Alfa Centauri is a playground of strong melodic elements and 
             commanding rhythmic force in his aptly titled Virtual Trancer 
             rework.  A chest-thumping kick and crisp shuffling hi-hats pave 
             the way for an intelligent use of the themes inherent in Far 
             Distance's original before taking them in new directions.  
             Classic arpeggiated sounds fly across the 7 minute piece as a 
             new earworm motif filters into sonic range.  White noise infused 
             stabs hit hard in a forceful new cadence as the track builds to 
             new heights in the latter stages.

             Immediately hitting its stride with a powerful beat and panned 
             running bassline pattern, Horizon blossoms with an immaculately 
             syncopated synth phrase.  Quickly taking center stage, a swathe 
             of effects and complementary harmonies blend together in an 
             emotive phrasing that is exemplified by a sublime breakdown 
             passage.  Heading into the second half, the powerful bass and 
             rhythmic partnership evolves once more into a surefire club hit.
