They've become household names in the progressive house scene over teh last 2 years and have a stacked discography that boosts over 100 releases. October of 2010 marked Hypnotic Duo's first appearance on Underground City Music with their 'Into The Deep' being released. They have since gone on to appear on an additional 4 releases for UCM. This week sees the much loved Lithuanian duo back on the label for the release of their 'Pulse' single which features remixes from: Moshic, Franzis-D, AquAdro and Erdi Irmak. Hypnotic Duo's 'Pulse' original is certainly one of the pairs biggest records to date. It starts off with a monster kick, an acidic bassline and club friendly drums all which create a big presence straight away. As the groove comes to life a huge siren gets dropped into the mix along with a ethnic vocal sample that wails a way in an extremely trippy and disorienting fashion. It's a massive sound overall and could work in a huge club or a big outdoor festival. Huge tune from Hypnotic Duo.

The first remix is supplied by a progressive house legend, Israeli producer Moshic. We've been huge fans of Moshic since the days of his Essential mix and releases on Bedrock, Cyber and Plastica. He continues to put out excellent tracks on his Contrast imprint and it's great to see him on underground City Music. Moshic's trademark rolling bottom end and thickly textured bassy tones come to life quickly while his rattling drums build the groove over the top. The spiritual vocal pads are used to great effect and as an additional lead gets introduced the emotional content gets raised for a spine tingling effect. Superb stuff from Moshic.!

The Italian duo AquAdro who hit us with their smashing 'Black Eyes'; single a few weeks back provides the next 'Pulse' remix. Aquadro has really out done themselves on this production which has an amazing dark vibe, some seriously punishing beats and huge atmosphere. The steel sounding drums are absolutely wicked and their is a very unique lead introduced during the breakdown that is quite quirky and catchy at the same time. Certainly one of AquAdro's best remixes to date!


Turkish producer Erdi Irmak continues his assault on the progressive house scene with a killer mix to close the package out. It's got a great atmosphere right from the start with some super fresh sounds with a cool dark overtone. Their is really a great sense of anticipation here as the track begins to build and the drum elements begin to form another killer groove that Erdi is becoming known for. As the track breaks down the massive siren is introduces and it's wailing intensity sounds absolutely massive over Erdi's razor sharp synth work. It should also be noted that this is a dub so for anyone that doesn't favor a lot of the ethnic vocals this is the mix for you. Amazing mix from Erdi who is growing into one of our favorite up and coming producers of 2011.
