             Nikko.Z's Dopamine White enters the spring season by welcoming 
             Cezar Nica to the label for his debut EP. Romanian artist Cezar 
             Nica began his journey into electronic music as a DJ, organizing 
             and playing events in his homeland and Switzerland, before 
             moving to the Netherlands in 2011 and turning his focus to music 
             production. Fast forward a decade and the Amsterdam resident is 
             in the early steps of his production career, with a first and 
             impressive release landing via Berlin's YOMO Records in November 
             of last year. With two additional releases already notched for 
             2022, Cezar now adds Dopamine White to his resume with a 
             three-track showcase entitled 'Arrakis'.

             Beginning with the title selection, Cesar crafts a robust 
             framework of punchy beats and muscular, well carved grooves. Its 
             rhythmic energy grows quickly, as waves of percussion, striking 
             stabs and sweeping effects add electric drive across the first 
             act. Melodic fragments carry the journey into a captivating 
             break, which is equal parts otherworldly and emotive, building 
             tension as basslines rumble and percussion percolates towards a 
             thunderous drop and driving finale.

             Selection two 'Standard Model' continues the peak-time 
             progressive vibes set by its predecessor with voluptuous bass 
             lines and clattering percussion setting the piece in motion. 
             Colourful chord stabs and cosmic effects add to the narrative, 
             creating a meditative state leading into the main break. 
             Expansive and well crafted, the interlude captivates with its 
             timely modulation and striking percussive cadence, smoothly 
             building to a groovy drop and charged finale

             The release concludes in fine fashion with the darker 
             monochromes of 'Jupiter Venus and Beyond'. Beginning with 
             perfectly sculpted beats and buzzing rhythms, it's a production 
             that's compelling from the start. Panning percussive 
             arrangements slowly encase the framework, as the low-end shape 
             shifts through rolling contours. Building to a feverish pitch 
             leading into the main break, the narrative then shifts into 
             emotive territory with poignant melodies, roboticized vocals and 
             nostalgic chord changes elevating mood towards a spine-tingling 
             apex. Energetic and poignant in equal measure, it rounds out 
             what is an inspired EP from Cezar Nica, an artist who continues 
             to rise up through the progressive house landscape as 2022 moves 
             forward.
