             Clubsonica Records rounds out a successful year by unveiling the 
             second edition of their Sampler Series. The Colombian imprint's 
             popular MMW and ADE Various Artists releases have become an 
             annual highlight for progressive music aficionados. Operating 
             under a similar ethos, Clubsonica's Sampler Series made its 
             debut last year to resounding praise from fans and tastemakers 
             alike. Spread across five tracks the label showcased music from 
             trending newcomers like Ric Niels alongside long-standing 
             veterans such as Solid Sessions. Now, presenting the much 
             anticipated second edition of the series, Clubsonica features 
             new music from (in order of appearance) Alex Daf and Stas 
             Underhill, Franco Camiolo, Kamilo Sanclemente, KAZKO and Vicissu 
             and Satya-Loka. 

             Making their label debut with selection one is Alex Daf and Stas 
             Underhill. Hailing from Ukraine and both well respected in their 
             solo careers, Alex and Stas boast a collective discography with 
             releases via Area Verde, Armada, Blackhole, Freegrant Music, 
             Traful and more. The duo now embarks on their first ever 
             collaborative project, making their Clubsonica debut with 
             'Immortal Freedom'. Aimed squarely at a peak hour dance floor, 
             the duo marries trance-inducing rhythms and striking percussion 
             with punchy beats and rolling grooves. An array of effervescent 
             effects steals the air across the first act, sweeping in and out 
             of the stereo-field as heartfelt melodies add texture and 
             emotion leading into the main break. Rising modulation continues 
             to elevate mood as arps open up and the interlude builds to a 
             colourful symphony of sound, before giving way to warm bass 
             swells and a tension filled build, as the groove drops for a 
             charged finale.

             The second selection welcomes newcomer Franco Camiolo to the 
             label with 'Over the Time'. Hailing from the talent-rich region 
             of Argentina, Buenos Aires resident Franco Camiolo arrives armed 
             with just one release to his credit. Coming courtesy of Manual 
             Music's MNL affiliate, Franco's 'Speculating As Unknown' landed 
             in October amidst much praise. The Argentine's hyper-melodic 
             sound was instantly seductive, immediately making him one of 
             Argentina's brightest prospects. Now, adding Clubsonica to his 
             resume, Franco debuts on the label with the refreshing sounds of 
             'Over the Time'. Plush beats, pulsating bass tones and rolling 
             percussion set the piece in motion, as clustered motifs and 
             effervescent effects encase the framework. Soaring overlays and 
             whimsical arps further the narrative as the first act evolves, 
             adding depth and emotion leading into the main break. Melting 
             down to a gentle sonic sizzle, the interlude rebuilds itself as 
             percolating arps play off timely effects, as modulation reaches 
             a tasteful apex and the groove re-engages for a melodic final 
             act.

             Moving forward to selection three is longstanding Clubsonica 
             artist Kamilo Sanclemente who returns with the charmed sounds of 
             'Fable'. As one of progressive music's most beloved names, the 
             Cali resident has a litany of successes over the last decade. 
             Prolific and consistent in equal measure, Kamilo has earned the 
             praise of genre tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, 
             while showcasing his music via Anjunadeep, The Soundgarden, 
             Replug and more. Now returning to his comfortable home of 
             Clubsonica, Kamilo presents his latest studio creation 'Fable'. 
             Although beloved for his progressive creations, Kamilo reaches 
             into his organic repertoire for what is sure to be a daytime 
             dancefloor delight. Developing in waves, dusty percussion and 
             warm atmospheric phrasing blanket buoyant beats and chunky 
             grooves before an expansive break shifts the narrative further 
             into emotive territory. Shapeshifting vocals and fragmented 
             textures unite across the one-minute centrepiece, bringing with 
             them a childlike exuberance, before eventually giving way to a 
             playfully melodic finale.

             Making his label debut with selection four is Sri Lankan artist 
             KAZKO. Colombo based KAZKO is early in his journey into 
             electronic music with his debut coming in 2020 via the Benichyo 
             Label. Although beginning as more of a tech-house producer it 
             was not long until KAZKO found his calling in progressive house, 
             with Bonzai Progressive, Droid9 and Future Avenue being landing 
             spots for his melodic sound. 2022 has seen the Colombo resident 
             continue to rise, adding projects for Antrim's Strangers Beats, 
             Droid9 and Movement Recordings to his resume. Continuing his 
             prolific ways, KAZKO now makes his much-anticipated Clubsonica 
             debut with 'Sun Dance'. Enticing from the start, its organic 
             lean proves irresistible, as low-slung grooves anchor 
             impassioned overlays and charming musicality.  Layers of exotic 
             percussion are blanketed with hopeful pads, calming effects and 
             fragmented vocals. Emotion peaks as the main break unfolds, with 
             a strummy lead and chanting vocals uniting for goosebump worthy 
             moments, eventually getting washed away as the dulcet groove 
             returns for an elegant finale.

             The release concludes with Vicissu and Satya-Loka making their 
             label debut with the collection's second and final 
             collaboration. Based in Brazil and the Netherlands respectively, 
             both Vicissu and Satya-Loka have achieved measurable success in 
             their solo careers. A collective discography is highlighted by 
             releases via Ideological and Progressive Vibes Light. Now 
             presenting their first ever collaboration, Vicissu and 
             Satya-Loka debut on Clubsonica with 'Dream Hooks'. Smooth and 
             fluid throughout, the duo's sleek designs are inviting and 
             hopeful, tactfully merging for a momentous end of the night 
             mood, as commanding beats and key changing grooves keep things 
             firmly on the dance floor. Vicissu's vocals ring out in timeless 
             suspension across the main break, bringing with them colour, 
             texture and emotion, gently building anticipation onwards to a 
             glowing apex and purring final movement. Tastefully epic, it 
             rounds out a must have second edition of Clubsonica's Sampler 
             Series, one where a unique amalgamation of artists touch on 
             organic, progressive and melodic house trends.
