about

Tash's Movement Recordings rounds out the month of October by welcoming Blancah back to the label for her debut single. First emerging nearly a decade ago with ‘Who's That' via Berlin powerhouse Steyoyoke, Brazilian artist Blancah has become one of her country's most recognized electronic music exports. In finding the creative sweet spot between melody and groove, the Florianópolis resident has compiled an impressive resume, showcasing her music via Einmusika, Renaissance and her own Hiato imprint. Also well established as a DJ, Blancah has travelled the globe, showcasing her impeccable taste and exquisite programming skills at some of the world's premiere venues and festivals. Movement Recordings has also been a home to Blancah, with a 2018 remix of ‘Nemesis' by Paul Anthonee marking her label debut. Now, following a remix for Proton's Particles, Blancah makes a welcome return to Movement for her first single ‘Vertical Horizon', alongside remixes from Mila Journee and Morttagua.

The original mix sets the tone for the release and finds Blancah showcasing her dancefloor minded ethos. Its dominant presence is anchored by rocketing beats and powerful percussive flashes, tastefully building to a wild-eyed intensity of percolating acid lines and pyrotechnic designs. With a peak-time energy that exudes spirit, Blancah pulls from her expansive repertoire as the main break takes shape, infusing orbiting effects and deconstructed sonics with a vortex of filtered acid; resulting in the ultimate dancefloor rush.

Making her label debut with the first interpretation of ‘Vertical Horizon' is Mila Journee. Hailing from Brazil, Mila Journee has enjoyed a rapid ascent in the world of electronic music. Although her debut came in 2017, the Brazilian talent has already compiled an impressive resume. Releases on Diynamic, Renaissance and Ritter Butzke sit as discography highlights, while the world's most influential DJs such as Solomun have championed her music. In what has been her best year to date, Mila now adds Movement Recordings to her portfolio with a fresh rendition of ‘Vertical Horizon'. While maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, Mila aims squarely at a peak hour dancefloor with a sweeping sonic experience all her own. An exhilarating journey where mesmerizing machine progressions, striking stabs and chunky basslines surface from their groovy architecture, for an exhilarating sonic experience.

The release concludes with Morttagua who returns to the label for his second appearance. As one of Brazil's foremost progressive house producers, the Rio de Janeiro resident has firmly etched his place in the genre's history. As a permanent fixture in Beatport's sales charts, Morttagua's productions have graced long standing imprints such as Beatfreak, Blackhole, Univack, and his own Timeless Moment imprint; while world class DJs Eelke Kleijn, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, Solomun, Tale of Us and more have supported his work along the way. With Morttagua's Movement Recordings debut coming in 2021 with a remix of ‘Arctic' by Alexandros Djkevingr, Greg Ignatovich and Rauschhaus, the Brazilian artist now finds his way back to the label with a nostalgic take on ‘Vertical Horizon'. Taking the track into more of a traditional progressive house context, the Rio de Janeiro resident crafts a storyboard of thumping grooves, evolving effects and rousing rhythmic themes to round out the release on a strong note.
