Global in ethos, South American in spirit, Sudbeat the new label from Argentina’s traveling electronic ambassador Hernan Cattaneo. Many months in the making and the product of two decades playing the world’s most important festivals & finest dancefloors, Cattaneo’s Sudbeat will showcase sounds from established producers, untapped talent, South American innovators and Hernan himself.

Listen to one of Hernan’s own perfectly constructed sets and you will hear no emphasis on genre or style — instead the focus is on musical depth and quality.The sound of Sudbeat will follow a similar path.

Be it the deepest grooves, the most hypnotic progressive or melodic techno, every colour of quality modern club music will be represented as Hernan strives to cast light on the many vibrant global sounds he encounters each week.

Blending the most modern and melodic textures, Sudbeat will be presenting releases from names like Danny Howells, Guy J, Henry Saiz & Marc Marzenit as well as Hernan’s own creations alongside producers like John Tonks, Martin Garcia and Soundexile.

The first release see's the legend that is Danny Howells, deliver the fantastic 'Moon EP'. Renowned for his extended DJ sets, Howells's own 'Dig Deeper' nights have grown to become one of the most anticipated parties around. Last year he launched his own 'Dig Deeper' label, which has already seen release's from Danny, backed with mix packages from some of his favourite producers.

Whilst the majority of his recent output has seen Howells tread the deeper, tech path, today's EP features two, euphoric house epics. 'On The Moon' and 'Moonage Dream' offer our ears a breath of fresh air. Two slices of feel good, powerful, melodic and emotive house also included on Hernan..s forthcoming Renaissance Masters Series compilation out on may 25th.

Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat imprint has, over its first few releases, been steadily building a strong following. With releases from Danny Howells, Marc Marzenit, Guy J, Soundexile and Hernan himself already in locker, its now time for another debut.... from Alex Dolby & Giorgio Roma.

Born in Ciociaria, Alex was drawn to music after being influenced by the sounds of Sasha, Steve Lawler, Flavio Vecchi and Ricky Montanari. After building his own studio and working hard on production, it was a meeting with fellow countryman Santos, and working together, that lead to development of the Alex Dolby sound.

'Hazy Way' and 'Untitled Valley' were two early tracks that earned Alex huge support. Further projects alongside Maskio, and remixes for Infusion. Oliver Koletzki and John Aquaviva & Ashtrax further enhanced his reputation. 2008 saw his Psiko Garden album released on Global Album, his superb 'Kenesai' single alongside Santos & Timo Maas on Connaisseur and the beautiful 'Long Beach'/'Cairo' release on Hope.

Giorgio Roma is a fellow resident of Ciociaria. The resident of the 'Fiesta Privada' parties began his career in music began back in 1993. Having also teamed up with Santos to hone his skills, his 2009 productions 'Buzzing Jazz', 'Every Possible Mistake', 'Blond Race' and '2Colors' have been firm favourites in the sets of Danny Tenaglia, Steve Lawler, Thomas Schumacher, Raresh, Kreon and of course Hernan Cattaneo.

Today's release see's the two Italians teaming up for a superb double-header, the 'Neutra EP'. 'Like Tears From A Star' is classic Dolby. A real warmth emanates from the speakers as the lush deep vibes flow. Its laid back groove sweeps us along, and backed by its guitar stabs and delicate vocal sample, evokes memories of sunsets and beach parties.

On the flip we have 'Viola'. Again its warmth is immediately evident as it wraps its sounds around us. Its heavy bassline and vocal sample, matched with its constant groove make it a superb tool any floor.

Sudbeat returns for its fourth installment. This time with its first release from label head Hernan Cattaneo. Today he teams up with fellow Argentine producers Soundexile to bring us an exciting EP of exclusive remixes...

Cattaneo needs little introduction. Now firmly established as the Progressive House scene's leading light, it is his wonderfully crafted DJ sets, exploring many genres, that have continued to enthrall his ever growing legion of fans. Whether accompanying the sunrises on South American beaches, or rocking the festival arena's across Europe, Cattaneo's skills are always in constant demand.

Fellow Argentinian producers Oliverio & Baunder make up Soundexcile. Rapidly making waves, not only for their DJ sets but also or their fantastic productions. Their releases and remixes on labels including, Urbantorque, Plastik Park and Off Side Recordings have already won them support from heavyweights including Laurent Garnier, Sasha and Guy J.

Today's release see's the guys teaming up again to rework four of their own tracks that recently featured on Hernan's Renaissance 'Masters Series' compilation. Weaving euphoric and atmospheric elements together with delightfully uplifting melodies and driving techie beats, the guys turn in a complete package that should not be missed. 'Sonification', 'Butterfly Effect', 'Modflow' and 'Pastida' all feature, and get the fresh treatments.

Out on beatport October 12th.

Next on Sudbeat we bring you release number three, from the wonderfully talented Marc Marzenit.

Marzenit began his music studies at the age of 11. At 14 he was immersing himself in the Sonar experience, and discovering new and exciting electronic emotions. By 22 he was performing 'Live' and only a year later he launched his own label, Paradigma Musik. Since its inception the label has featured international artists including Paul Ritch, Henry Saiz, Ludovic Vendi and Gavin Herlihy.

The success of his own productions is down to his ability to inject melodies into muscular, progressive techno. Support for his music has come from DJ's including John Digweed, Domink Eulberg, Umek, Sasha, James Zabiela, Eric Prydz, and of course Sudbeat chief Hernan Cattaneo.

Today's release is a bumper 3 track selection of Marc's freshest work. First track 'Second Vision' see's him team up with Renaissance and Bedrock artist Henry Saiz. Fresh from the success of his remix of Guy J's 'Lamur', Saiz brings his electronic talents to the table on 'Second Vision'. Together with Marc's own 'Angels Die' and 'Soul Fog', it completes a perfect, melodic, must-have, E.P.

SB 003-Marc Marzenit-Visions EP out on Beatport Sep 01.

Second release on Sudbeat comes from Israeli DJ/Producer Guy J, who has been one of the most exciting finds of recent times. His own brand of emotional tech and forward thinking house has won him an army of fans, and seen him release a host of incredible releases over the past couple of years.

His wide range of sound, has seen Guy become a regular artist on labels from John Digweed's Bedrock to Tiga's Turbo Records, and his catalogue of club smashes includes 'Agent Blue', 'Save Me', 'Fade', 'Under Pressure', 'Geko' and 'Shaman'.

His debut album 'Esperanza' has not only spawned two of the singles above, but also the current hit 'Lamur', which is finding huge, worldwide DJ and press support.

Timing couldn't be better then for Hernan Cattaneo to bring us the second release on his new Sudbeat imprint, Guy J's 'Dust / Bianca'. Yet another superb two tracker. A-side Dust leads the way with its warped, dramatic, and melodic synths. Piercing, and emotional it is a true cinematic experience.

B-Side Bianca ups the tempo. Included on Hernan..s Renaissance Masters Series compilation and brilliantly constructed, this uplifting and euphoric piece of melodic tech house nails the measures of power and beauty to perfection. This will be a key release in crates of many, for some time to come.
