Clubsonica Records opens the new year by welcoming Lio Q, 
Anhauser and Nicolas Leonelli back to the label for a new EP. 
Working collectively since May of 2018, the talented Argentinean 
trio flexed their collaborative powers with a well-received 
release via Antrim's Or Two Strangers. This auspicious debut set 
the stage for their first Clubsonica offering 'Sands of Time', 
which landed in December of 2020 amidst praise and play from 
Hernan Cattaneo. Continuing to build a bond with the label, Lio 
Q, Anhauser and Nicolas Leonelli now return to Clubsonica with 
'Lost Desert | Perfect Love', alongside remixes from Paul Deep 
(AR) and Dabeat.

The release begins with 'Lost Desert' which finds the trio 
drawing on the peak time sensibilities of their repertoire. It's 
tough, rolling groove commands a big presence from the outset, 
adorned with fiery percussion and electric pulses which drive 
momentum forward. Cosmic effects steal the air, building 
anticipation towards a series of melodic fragments, bringing 
emotional depth to the journey before initiating a heartfelt 
break. Cascading melodies and wistful atmospherics marry 
beautifully across the expansive interlude, building emotion 
with each successive pass, before eventually giving way to a 
thumping drop and charged finale. The companion piece 'Perfect 
Love' finds Lio and Nicolas operating as a duo and continuing 
the progressive tone set by its predecessor. Mysterious and 
mystical from the outset, a spacious groove sits at the 
foundation, as cross-cultural vocals and melodic fragments 
converge across the first act. The narrative shifts into more 
emotive territory as the main break commences, with the vocal 
emerging further, playing off striking tonal themes and buzzing 
effects, before effortlessly shifting energy into a glowing 
final act.

Returning to the label and providing the first interpretation of 
'Perfect Love' is Paul Deep (AR). With a career that spans the 
better part of a decade, the Argentinean artist has compiled an 
impressive resume along the way, landing releases via All Day I 
Dream, Tale and Tone and The Soundgarden. World class DJs Lee 
Burridge, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren have all been 
steadfast supporters of Paul's sound, which often sits in the 
creative space between progressive and organic house. Having 
been an integral part in Clubsoncia's formative years, Paul 
provided two singles and a remix across 2016-2018. Now getting 
2022 underway in style, the Buenos Aires resident makes a 
welcome return to the label with a stunning rendition of 
'Perfect Love'. Atop a warm, well contoured groove comes 
devilish effects, neatly tailored percussion and ethereal vocal 
gates. Emerging atmospheres add depth and space leading into the 
main break, phasing in and out of coherence as the full vocal 
sits gently below the surface. It's a remarkable sonic marriage 
sure to captivate listeners and dance floors alike, before 
perfectly segueing into a buoyant final movement.

The release concludes with Dabeat returning to the label and 
providing the second and final interpretation of 'Perfect Love'. 
Sitting as one of Colombia's premiere progressive house talents, 
David Barragan aka Dabeat has enjoyed a steady rise since first 
emerging in 2008 with a release courtesy of Beatfreak 
Recordings. The next decade saw David perfect his craft with a 
sound that many describe as groovy, dynamic and emotional. Now 
laying claim to an impressive discography, the Santiago de Cali 
resident has showcased his music via Cid Inc's Replug Records, 
Nick Warren's Hope Recordings and UK behemoth Anjunadeep, while 
continuing to receive play and support from the genre's premiere 
tastemakers. As a regular contributor to Clubsonica, David has 
delivered four remixes across the last three years, which now 
lead him back to the label with a powerful take on 'Perfect 
Love'. Taking a cue from the original, Dabeat reshapes the 
groove for some added funk, while focusing on a dubbier yet 
equally emotive narrative. Timely chord changes provide an 
impassioned response, as arpeggiated fragments and wispy effects 
make for a colourful canopy of sound. Coming to full fruition 
during the main break, atmospheres begin to open up, rising 
triumphantly as percussive flurries and harmonic refrains unite 
for a powerful crescendo and exhilarating final act. An 
excellent interpretation from Dabeat, which caps off a 
sensational release for Clubsonica, who get 2022 off to a 
promising start.
