Mariner + Domingo – Azimuth (Juan Deminicis Remix)

Mariner + Domingo (A.K.A. Chris Domingo). The US duo have an extensive history in electronic music, dating all the way back to the early nineties when the Florida club scene was a central hub for the movement. Fast forward over 25 years and Mariner + Domingo are crafting some of the finest melodic music of their careers. The two came together in late 2019, when Chris commissioned Mariner for a remix. 

“Azimuth” sees Mariner + Domingo create a flowing organic house track characterised by intricate percussive groove, full of acoustic hits and woodblock delight. Building smoothly, joyous motifs float across the 6-minute piece as expertly balanced melodies and vocal phrasing play off each other, evolving effortlessly in symbiotic fashion as they reach their zenith in the latter stages.

Ezequiel Arias & Sebastian Sellares – Infinity

Both based in Córdoba, Argentina, Ezequiel and Sebastian first collaborated on the ‘Sky Above’ EP released via Replug Records in 2022. The two artists have long been championed by Argentinian dance music legend Hernán Cattáneo who has given DJ support to Sebastian’s music and offered Ezequiel sets at the renowned BNP Forja events in Córdoba.

‘Infinity’ takes you on a journey through progressive house with South American influence; light and tasteful percussion paired with a minimal yet inviting synth topline. ‘Alba’, literally translated as ‘dawn’ in English, is a slightly more melodic offering designed to provide a fitting soundtrack for early morning sunrises at the end of a long night.

Nox Vahn & Marsh – Come Together (Nox Vahn & Marsh Revisit)

Anjunadeep mainstays Marsh and Nox Vahn present a mesmerising ambient revisit of their 2020 breakout collaboration ‘Come Together’ to Reflections. First heard on the prolific label series ‘Anjunadeep 11’ mixed by label boss James Grant & legendary Bristolian DJ Jody Wisternoff, ‘Come Together’ features a moving spoken world sample from revered philosopher Alan Watts. The melodic house production saw the clear merging of two label stars and quickly became a fan favourite amassing over 23 million streams to date.

Together, Nox Vahn & Marsh rework their label classic ‘Come Together’ into a slow-burning beat-less interpretation, capturing the uplifting essence of the original, laced with a meditative feel.

Release Date: 1st August 2024

The easiest way to get into the meditative state is to begin by listening.
If you simply close your eyes
And allow yourself to hear all the sounds that are going on around you.
Just listen to the general hum and buzz of the world
As if you were listening to music.

Don’t try to identify the sounds you are hearing
Don’t put names on them
Simply allow them to play with your eardrums.
Let them go. In other words, let your ears hear whatever they want to hear.
Don’t judge the sounds: there are no proper sounds nor improper sounds — it’s all just sound.

As you hear sounds coming up in your head you simply listen to them
As part of the general noise going on and soon you will find
That the so-called “outside world” and the so-called “inside world”
Come Together
They are a happening
And everything is simply a habit
And all you’re doing is watching it

MOLØ – ‘Mio’ feat. Running Pine

After making her debut on the label five years ago with career-first release ‘Vanadis’ alongside Vivrant label founder Jeremy Olander, MOLØ’s put out originals on Marc Romboy’s Systematic, Anjunadeep and delivered BBC Radio 1-supported remixes for Eli & Fur as well as Duccio on Moscoman’ Disco Halal.

‘Aqua Lull’, MOLØ’s debut album, is the first of a series of short-form albums on Vivrant. Occupying the space between the traditional EP format of 2-5 tracks and full-length 10-12 track albums, the series seeks to offer label artists comprehensive artistic freedom.

MOLØ elaborates: “Over the past five years, the scene has changed. I’ve seen many small clubs and live music spaces close down, resulting in new artists being pressured to conform to what people in power say move tickets and streams. This pressure clashed with my creative process and what I was making didn’t fit the mold of a peak time set.”
