The 12th release on one of Argentina's finest imprints is out this week. Baires records continues to impress, their last release from Japan's Hiroyuki Arakawa made it all the way to #5 in our Hype Chart and earned a Beatport feature as well. Turkish producer Ozgur Ozkan makes his debut on Baires here with his newest studio offering entitled 'Beautiful Afterhours' which comes with remixes from: Fran Von Vie and Dark Soul Project & Santiago Garcia. 

If you are a fan of Ozgur you know he is an incredibly versatile producer with his output ranging from progressive house, melodic breaks all the way to downtempo and ambient creations. 'Beautiful Afterhours' falls into the ambient category and it's turned out to be one of Ozgur's most gorgeous productions to date. Filled with haunting vocal pads, trippy processed pianos, wispy soundscapes and a wealth of smoothly transitioned ideas this is one a production that simply must be listened to several times over to get a grip on its full beauty. 

The first remix is supplied by one of the hottest and most in demand producers of the moment. Italy's Fran Von Vie has been on fire this year; his deep, intelligent and effortlessly flowing productions have won him many new fans including Hernan Cattaneo and Sasha. Ozgur's gorgeously crafted melodies and soundscapes have translated well with Fran's deep, intoxicating progressive sound. A warm bed of rolling grooves sits at the compositions foundation as a the haunting vocals and big atmospheric sweeps fill the air. The subtle rhythms build huge momentum and the marching, choppy drums deliver that dance floor energy to even out the trippy environment of the track. Fabulous stuff from Fran who can do no wrong at the moment! 

Closing the package out are two thirds of the Baires label bosses. Dark Soul Project and Santiago Garcia seem to be working together a lot more recently and the results are always amazing. They continue on a hot streak here with a deadly rework of 'Beautiful Afterhours'. DSP and Santiago have taken a completely different approach and turned in a funky, rolling tech house remix that is right on the money. The bass line comes with a tremendous amount of bounce and dance floor energy while the melodic elements have been used quite sparely for a more spacious melancholic feel that is delightfully moody. Brilliant stuff from everyone involved here and a very well rounded package from Baires!
