                          ............................

             Tash's Movement Recordings closes out the month of August by 
             welcoming Amono Dio to the label for their debut EP. Comprised 
             of Kevin Sunray and Roni Iron, the Amono Dio project first 
             emerged earlier this year with a string of releases via Italy's 
             Frequenza Records. Both well established in their respective 
             solo careers, Kevin and Roni boast a collective discography with 
             projects via Armada, Blackhole, Kingstreet, Ministry of Sound, 
             Nitegrooves and more. No stranger to Movement Recordings, Roni's 
             label debut came in 2015 with a well received remix of 'Candy 
             Lips' by T.Pals and John Teki, before going on to contribute 
             original productions to the label's 'Modern Filosophy' and 
             'Technical Progress' collections, as well as his own EP project 
             'Hidden Places' which landed in 2020. Now making a welcome 
             return to the Movement, Roni pairs with Kevin Sunray as Amono 
             Dio for a two-track showcase entitled 'Sophocles', alongside 
             remixes from Peter Makto and Reboq.

             The release begins with the dark electric vibes of 'Argolis'. 
             Buoyant and smooth, it carries a groovy yet menacing quality 
             from the outset. Gaining momentum across the first act, the 
             piece moves through a series of striking stabs, otherworldly 
             effects and wavy arps, as emotive chord changes push energy into 
             the main break. The emotional narrative expands across the 
             centrepiece, as a cross-cultural vocal steals the air, playing 
             off devilish stabs as the groove drops in for a galloping 
             finale. The companion piece 'Electra' follows a similar sonic 
             ethos and resonates on an equally impressive level. Remarkably 
             powerful, its deliberate groove commands attention, moving 
             through hazy atmospherics and rhythmic pulses, while squelchy 
             lines and hopeful pads add further colour leading into the main 
             break. Expansive at nearly two minutes in length, it's a 
             cross-cultural vocal which highlights the centrepiece, flowing 
             through soulful phrasing, before getting washed away in a wave 
             of pulsating beats and squelchy synth swagger.

             Returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of 
             'Electra' is Peter Makto. The Hungarian artist and Truesounds 
             label boss has firmly etched his place in the electronic 
             underground with releases via Hoomidaas, The Soundgarden, Where 
             The Heart Is and more. Having made his label debut alongside 
             occasional studio partner Gregory S in 2019, Peter now returns 
             in solo capacity for a spirited take on 'Electra'. Fluid and 
             groovy in equal measure, it's a mix that carries the sensibility 
             of the original, while adding a deeper vibe through meditative 
             arps and fuzzed out effects. Building beautifully into the main 
             break, nostalgic chord changes add an emotive flair, while 
             ghostly vocal choirs eventually give way to buzzing tonal themes 
             and a tastefully tranquil conclusion.

             The release concludes with Reboq returning to the label and 
             providing the lone interpretation of 'Electra'. Based in the 
             northeast of Italy, Enrico Trevis aka Reboq has been involved in 
             house and techno for over a decade. 2009 marked his production 
             debut where he operated under a variety of monikers, earning 
             support from world class DJs such as Roger Sanchez, until 2019 
             saw the birth of Reboq. With a focus on melodic house and 
             techno, Enrico has compiled an impressive catalog under the 
             Reboq guise, landing releases via ICONYC, Polyptych and 
             Steyoyoke. Movement Recordings has also been a vehicle for 
             Reboq's melodic sound, with his debut coming in March of this 
             year with 'Tales From Mars'. Now on the strength of an EP for 
             Truesounds, Reboq returns to the label with a quality rendition 
             of ''Electra'. Electrically charged with perfectly manicured 
             beats and rolling rhythms, its cosmic appeal beams brightly from 
             the outset. Combining processed vocals with crisp percussion and 
             striking arps makes for a sleek yet menacing first act. 
             Trance-inducing vocals and creamy tones heighten the senses 
             during a well-crafted break, bringing an emotive slant before a 
             long, fiery build paves the way for a thunderous drop and 
             floor-filling finale. An inspired remix from Reboq once again 
             which caps off an impressive label debut for Amono Dio.
