Exclusive FREE EP from FeralCode Records

Here’s an offer no progressive fan can refuse…

FeralCode Records has served up an oustanding FREE Exclusive EP for the RV community! :D

The EP comes from Jozef Kugler, and it’s called Metro Station. It features three tracks: "Last Station," "Sun in the Station," and "Round Trip."

"Last Station" is the track that really sets the tone for the EP in my opinion. The track gets off to an easy start and settles into a nice groove. It’s got a great melody and an irresistable chill vibe…definitely one of the better progressive tracks we’ve gotten of late. It’s hard to really put my finger on what makes this track special; I think it ultimately just comes down to the way it makes a person feel when you really listen to it ;)

The other two tracks are winners as well. "Sun in the Station" has a different flavor…It keeps things interesting with a quasi-syncopated beat, breakdowns and buildups, and unique background elements. "Round Trip" is yet another track showing Jozef’s versatility. It’s got a downtempo feel in ways, but almost has a funky feel as well…call it progressive house with a little something extra ;)

These tracks are free, so by all means download and enjoy!

Storyteller’s Soundproof EP – Exclusively on RV

Earlier today, I wrote a blog post sharing an interview of Storyteller, one of the cooler DJs/artists I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. As I mentioned in my previous post, Toes in the Sand Recordings gave us Storyteller’s Soundproof EP as an exclusive pre-release this week, and I’m blown away by the quality of these tracks!

This first track in the EP is "Sound." It starts with a simple drum beat, and gradually new percussive elements are introduced…then, a jet comes in (in true progressive fashion) and you’re elevated into the real sound of the track. Storyteller creates a dreamy, drifty soundscape rife with synths and various ear-delighting sounds. He keeps the energy tantalizingly chill, just on the cusp letting loose…giving the track just enough drive to keep your head nodding and the serotonin flowing :D This track would make a great starter for a progressive set…it would warm the crowd up and make the right high-quality impression from the start.

The second track is "Proof," and it’s a goodie as well. Even though the two tracks were apparently produced at very different times – see Storyteller interview below for details – they seem to fit together like a hand in glove…as if they were always meant to be released on the same EP. "Proof" gets going right away…you hear the basic motif without a lot of delay or buildup. Both the melody and beat are solid and (just as importantly) unique. The track has that lush, warm, high-quality sound that has become the hallmark of Toes in the Sand releases. I’d definitely drop this in the right sort of set as well.

Overall, super-high-quality tunes here from Storyteller and Toes in the Sand!

Enjoy!
