Hailing from Argentina but currently calling Spain home, Juan Franco Rivero aka JFR has carved out a unique sonic identity in the world of progressive and organic house, resulting in a string of uniquely crafted records that present a resonant worldly sound. Releases via All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Musique de Lune, and his own Secret Feelings imprint have been instrumental in showcasing the Barcelona's resident's borderless approach to production, in turn garnering support from Lee Burridge, Sebastien Leger and Nick Warren, amongst others. Meanwhile, also hailing from Argentina, Lucas Zárate has enjoyed similar success since first emerging in 2022. Much like JFR, Lucas would find a cohesive balance between progressive and organic house, an amalgamation of sound which would earn him the praise of Gorje Hewek, Modd and Nick Warren, while also highlighting his resume with offerings via Melody of the Soul, Peace Symphonies and Songuara. Having also recorded a four-track artist showcase for JFR's Secret Feelings, the duo now combines their extensive forces for Clubsonica and their collaborative debut ‘Siamba | Sambuka', alongside a remix from Matthew Sona. Beginning with the colourful monochromes of ‘Siamba', the duo continues to explore the groovy organic blueprints from which they have made their names on. A DJ friendly intro sets the pace for swing heavy rhythms and panoramic melodies to layer a warm, chunky bassline. Carving out a fluid path into the break, anticipation is high as balmy atmospherics and exotic synth cascades highlight a well-crafted interlude, building melodic tension throughout, before a cosmic crescendo reveals an epic finale complete with shapeshifting synth lines and subversive chord changes. Beneath the utopian qualities of 'Siamba' lies the equally intriguing vibes of 'Sambuka'. JFR and Lucas expound their organic vision here, with alluring rhythms and hyperspace effects blanketing warm beats and precise percussive arrangements. Clever textural co-actions marry with wavy melodies, evolving with each successive pass, while a hypnotic break complete with deconstructed vocal samples and soulful musicality preludes an inventive finale. The release concludes with Matthew Sona making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Siamba'. Hailing from Hungary, Matthew Sona has found a way to create his own personal universe by exploring organic sounds and ultimately finding a place in the trend-driven state of underground dance music at a remarkably young age. With a contribution to Zenebona's Various Artists Sampler in 2023 marking his production debut, the Budapest resident would go on to forge a strong creative partnership with the label, recording four additional projects across the next calendar year, in addition to an impressive debut on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden. With Eelke Kleijn and Hernan Cattaneo also being supporters of Matthew's work, the Hungarian continues to carve out his own path into 2025, making his Clubsonica debut with an excellent interpretation of ‘Siamba'. Bringing a contemporary state of mind, Matthew reassembles the themes from the original for his own uniquely energetic approach. Stepping decisively on the gas, it's a narrative of timely effects, haunting motifs and shapeshifting melodies which coax perfectly atop precise kick drums and charged grooves, for what results in a tastefully epic rendition that's perfect for a peak hour dancefloor.
