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

             Opening the month of November, Tash's Movement Recordings 
             welcomes Federico Monachesi back to the label for his debut EP. 
             With a career that spans the better part of two decades, the 
             Argentinean artist lays claim to releases courtesy of Balkan 
             Connection, Nature, pad records and Soundteller, while also 
             earning the support of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Eelke 
             Kleijn and Nick Muir. Movement Recordings has also been a 
             landing spot for the Tucaman resident, with his label debut 
             coming in 2017 with a contribution to the 'Closing With' 
             collection, while 2018 found Federico returning as part of the 
             'GLBLMVMT1 - Exploring Argentina' compilation. Now making his 
             third appearance on the label, Federico presents his 'Zagros' 
             EP, alongside a remix from Hobin Rude.  

             Getting the EP underway with the title selection, Federico 
             marries rolling grooves with buoyant rhythms and inviting 
             electronics. Sleek and energetic, an enticing array of arps 
             elevates mood across the first act, as shimmering effects and 
             clattering percussive arrangements provide a bridge into the 
             main break. Balmy atmospheres rise across the interlude, 
             creating moments of anticipation, as an eventual zenith is 
             reached with clustered melodies and hazy harmonics spearheading 
             an uplifting finale. The companion piece 'Submerged' continues 
             the melodic lean of the EP with a timeless style Federico has 
             become known for. From warm and mystical beginnings, the piece 
             pulsates with hip swinging grooves and rolling rhythmic 
             structures. Emerging chord stabs elevate mood across the first 
             act, effortlessly shifting energy into an emotive interlude, 
             before breaking off into a goosebump worthy conclusion. 

             Returning to the label with the lone interpretation of 'Zagros' 
             is Hobin Rude. Hailing from Serbia, Hobin Rude first emerged in 
             2020 with a remix for Jelly For The Babies One Of A Kind 
             imprint. His progressive sounds quickly found favour with the 
             genre's premiere tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, 
             eventually leading to releases via Beat Boutique, Dopamine 
             White, Hoomidaas and Sound Avenue. Also an established DJ, the 
             Belgrade resident has the distinction of performing with elite 
             international talents Guy J, Roy Rosenfeld, Tim Green, Volen 
             Sentir and more. Having made his Movement Recordings debut 
             earlier this year with 'It Was and It Will', Hobin now returns 
             for his first remix, taking 'Zagros' into darker territory. 
             Drawing inspiration from the original, Hobin layers misty 
             atmospheres and arcane electronics atop punchy beats and driving 
             grooves. Mysterious and thought-provoking throughout, it's a 
             heady amalgamation of sound which makes for an energetic yet 
             atmospheric journey, elegantly melting down to ethereal phrasing 
             across a one-minute interlude, before a mystical final act puts 
             a cap on this creative gem.
