Russian producer Alfoa is on a major roll, his Largo double release went down as one of the best progressive house records this summer and his recent Gemelli was of equal brilliance.

 This week finds the great Russian producer back on one fo this year's best labels Underground City Music which was also responsible for releasing the two aforementioned projects. 'Aegis' is the newest from Alfoa and it comes with a set of top shelf remixes from: Matteo Monero, Hypnotic Duo and Stefan DJordjevic.

Alfoa's dreamy, futuristic progressive sound has earned him many new fans over the course of 2011 and 'Aegis' looks to further that. The track begins with a wispy atmospheric vibe and softly textured pads. The deep groove however is very accessible to the dancefloor even with the dreamy overtones. Lovely washes of melodic accents soon enter the track and a gorgeous soundscape is born. The breakdown brings about some beautiful hypnotic elements that weave their way through Alfoa's dreamy backdrop perfectly. A really sophisticated sound from Alfoa and such a great pleasure to listen to.

Italy's Matteo Monero is up next on the remixes and he's been on fine form all this year so the anticipation for his new productions is always high. Matteo's crafted a wonderfully drummy groove that has a killer dance floor roll to it. The subtle acid lines propel the track forward and generate a good amount of momentum towards the peak of the track. With the drums and countless numbers of wispy atmospheric elements in full swing the track climbs to an incredibly dreamy but powerful climax.Great stuff as usual from Matteo.

One of Lithuania's biggest progressive house exports Hypnotic Duo are next and this marks their 7th appearance on Underground City Music and with that they continue to deliver outstanding productions for the Russian label. Like Matteo Hypnotic Duo have beefed 'Aegis' up for a more dance floor friendly approach. Hypnotic Duo's solid club groove lights this track up wonderfully, the fresh sounding electronics and crisp percussion should have your listener's full attention. Then the angelic sounding vocal pads and shimmering fields of synths take over for a killer breakbeat section during the breakdown. It's a great emotional journey from Hypnotic Duo and one of their best remixes this year.

Serbian producer Stefan DJordjevic follows up his strong remix of Tolga Diler's 'Outcry' for Deepsessions and closes the package out with a great remix of 'Aegis'. It clocks in at just over ten minutes and it's a wonderful journey into deep melodic sound. Amazing layers of soft textures, emotional synths and an amazing flow are what this mix is all about. The fat progressive bassline is perfect, so warm and full, it creates such a nice bed for the equally brilliant pads and synths to weave their magic over top of. Stefan's got one of the most deeply refined progressive house sounds at the moment and he's nailed it here again! Top shelf package from Underground City Music.
