PALAVA RELEASED ON PROPULSION RECORDS
Michal Poliak has been on a tear with a slew of amazing productions, and delivers another stunner for his second outing on Propulsion. Palava's bassline bubbles around class melodies and a haunting vocal line. Serious ripping synths bolster the intense breakdown before twisting back into the progressive beat. The second mix pumps just a little harder with a unique drive and big euphoric riff to keep the vibe fun and energetic. Nicholas Bennison takes things deeper with his progressive trance mix. The bassline throbs as dirty chords stab and synths grind. A dramatic breakdown gives way to an abstract mechanical riff unlike any other. And to round off the package is Walachia, a tech-heavy progressive banger built around a massive grinding riff, sick stabs and infectious groove.
This release also acquired support from producers like Christhoper Lawrence, John 00 Fleming, Preach, Fred Numf, Victor Dinaire, Charlie G, Jason Sperling and many others.
Palava is available at Beatport

Michael Poliak started his carrier unlike any other DJs in Czech Republic.
Hailing from Breclav, his constant commitment to his work and talent
burst him into claiming a name in the international electronic music
scene.
Formerly known as BB Mike, he discovered his passion
for DJ-ing while on a trip to Canada in 2001, after performing at an
underground party and attending Montreal’s infamous record shop
“Terminal” run by local DJ hero Yaz - a staunch supporter
of Montreal’s biggest names like Misstress Barbara, Tiga and DJ
Preach – he then met the latter while browsing through records.
Since then, Michal learned the tricks of the trade by none other but
his idol: DJ Preach. After returning to the Czech Republic, Michal
decided to devote himself to supporting the local scene by playing in
clubs such as Fabric in Ostrava and even organizing his own nights:
Insomnia and Amnesia at Club Laguna in his hometown. His contribution
into the local scene attracted the attention of Czech’s and
Slovakia’s club promoters and gave him the opportunity to
perform at the most reputable clubs such as Paradogs, Fabric,
Bobycentrum, Barumba and many more.
In 2003, Michal Poliak became resident at Breclav’s hottest nights
at Citadela. His name very soon started to appear in line ups of
other big events such as Antistatic, Ibiza, Observer, Stereodome…
He then joined DJ Preach on a Balkan tour performing in places like
Bulgaria, Croatia and Kosovo and finally concluded the trip with a
last performance at “Gloom” party in the hills of Quebec,
Canada.
2004 added another addition to Michal’s DJ residency, claiming his
place at the infamous “O..Seex“ in Brno and “Bluck“
in Breclav while building a name for himself in the surrounding
neighborhoods of Austria, Slovakia and Croatia. His lust for Canada
continued when he performed at “Cube” in Quebec City and
decided to pursue his production carrier after receiving pointers
from his mate DJ Preach.
In 2006, Michal was ready to take it to the next level and landed
performances at Czech’s most acclaimed festival “Hrahouse”
and club “Impremium” thanks to his funky and addictive
sound that resonated during his public appearances. Production wise,
Michal witnessed the birth of his first number which landed him a
spot on Citadela’s album compilation: Citadela Vibe III. His
strong dedication was inspired by the work of Bryan Cox, Brazil’s
Wehbba, Peppelino, Mojado and Len Faki. He was very particular about
colorful composition of melodious and energetic rhythms. This led to
the release of his first single in conjunction with DJ Orbith titled
“Phantom EP” later that year. Thanks to the success of
the latter, Poliak went on to collaborate with DJ Preach on the one
hit bootleg wonder “Crazy” featuring Gnarls Barkley which
gained support from international DJs especially from Paul van
Dyk.
This gave him the opportunity to release his first mix
compilation “Live from Barbarossa” and a list of other
singles starting with “Duplex 01” with DJ Orbith followed
by his own independent single on DJ Preach’s Relic Recordings
label featuring remixes by Filterheadz and Elton D titled “World
Republic” that caught the eye of Carl Cox and his BBC Essential
Mix.
In 2007 Michal he entered the organizational team of the biggest Czech
indoor action: Apokalypsa, and took part in the realization of this
successful event with headliners such as Adam Beyer, Cristian Varela,
Space Djz, etc…
In 2008, Michael continued to climb up the talent chart by rolling out
nine new productions and gaining support of the DJ masses like Armin
van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Gareth Emery, Eddie Haliwell,
Christopher Lawrence, Phynn, Andy Moor, Suzy Solar, Flash Brothers,
Orkidea, Martin Roth, Discomania and many more. He then headlined
some of the biggest events in the region such as Transmission 2008,
Creamfields Central Europe, Machac, Free Summer Festival, Hradhouse
etc…
2009 witnessed “Black Mamba EP” on Ying Yang records topping
the techno charts on Trackitdown.net for four weeks. On March 6, he
was announced the producer of the month of February on Slinky.fm’s
CGI Sessions program. Later this year he was also rewarded for his
production when he claimed the third spot on O2 Dance Music Award’s
poll in The Czech Republic in “Project or Band” category.
Michal Poliak’s latest project became his own radio show concept
called “World Republic” which started broadcasting on
worldwide radios such as Slinky.fm, DI.fm and PureSound and locally
with exclusive sessions on Czech’s own Danceradio.cz.

Uxmal Records is proud to announce UXM017 EROTIC DREAM l.Check this new tunes !!!!! OUT NOW @BEATPORT!!! The Last Drop For Progressive Trance being the evolution of melodies into anothers, Erotic Dream Live is the evolution of an ongoing project. Beats and noises working harmonicly make of The Last Drop not a simple EP, but an echoey symphony of synthesisers reflecting on the flow of Erotic Dream ondulations. The two tunes EP, homonym The Last Drop and Heil are both synthetic and organic. Synthetic because they are inevitably fruit of machines and organic because it is so well elaborated that one can feel amongst pads, leads and melodies the sounds of nature echoing, circularly, creating ambiance to the ears of the listener, and moviment to their bodies.
