Cosmic Gate recently premiered their new single, ‘Brave’, during their ASOT 2024 set, and apparently, the response they received from those in attendance in Rotterdam was ‘greater than even the duo dared hope’.

Following their January debut for Black Hole, Ilan Bulestone, Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt go for two for two with their new production ‘Sparks In The Night’. Their previous track ‘Light Years’ brought the Elysian trio into the label’s orbit at the start of 2024 and they have wasted little time in building on its apparent success.

Since she entered the electronic music space, taking the alt-route has become part of Christina Novelli’s course. To start putting that into context, her new album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You!’ is the direct follow-up to 2019’s ‘Through My Eyes’. Given that the latter was an all-acoustic affair, while this release could hardly be more ‘club’, it allows you some idea of the artistic latitude she has carved for herself.

Across their respective histories, Daniel Wanrooy, JES and ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ have shared a good degree of commonality. Both artists’ careers kicked off within a few years of the series’ launching, and since they’ve supplied it, and its label with many releases.

With tags like ‘Leaving Me’, ‘Beautiful Lies’ and ‘Fallen Ones’, you may be thinking the course of true love wasn’t running smooth for Christina Novelli. However, it’s not the headlines that count here, but the between-the-lines implications of her songs. With subtlety, she goes beyond their titles to tell matters-of-the-heart tales and with the final action of her second 2023 EP, she aims to clarify those complexities with her latest track ‘I’m Not Sad’.

It’s one that saw them define their sound with their very first release and then emphasise it with every one that’s followed!

The last few years have seen a significant flurry of activity from the Activa camp, made all the more notable as it followed a period of pause for Rob Stevenson. His next restorative action is ‘Movement (V. 01)’ - a set of discs and mixes constructed in trance and progressive’s original ‘building’ manner.

Promising much at this year’s outset, Christina Novelli delivered with her Paul Oakenfold and Richard Durand team-ups. However, it’s the English singer/songwriter’s new solo standalone material that’s possibly garnered the greatest fire. That reaches its first summation now, as she completes her ‘Heavy EP’ with ‘Memories’.

After a run of 2022 releases on his own Higher Ground imprint, Craig Connelly’s been spreading the label love farther afield this year. Respectively, Kearnage and Subculture received ‘Spicy Broth’ and ‘Excelsior’, while - in its Giuseppe Ottaviani remix form, Black Hole the label brought back ‘Black Hole’ the track.

Progressive didn’t give birth to the mix-comp, but through the likes of ‘Northern Exposure’ and ‘Global Underground’, it did elevate it to a higher form. With its album series, it is to these heights that Solarstone’s Pure Progressive aspires. In order to reach them however, radical approaches have been required!
