Phi Phi and Marc Denuit combine forces once again, this time on the superb 'The Crossing Mind' which follows their last collaboration with 'Substructure'. Phi Phi has been a constant force in progressive and trance music over the years, staying true to his roots with an impressive array of residencies, club performances, and festival appearances that have earned him legendary status. His dedication and passion for the genre are evident in every piece he creates. We're equally excited to have Marc return to the label, having previously contributed as part of Innerphonic, known for their high-quality productions. DJing since 1984, Marc's extensive background includes residencies at top Belgian clubs. He transitioned into production, delivering exceptional music alongside Mad Gregor since 2018. It's fantastic to have both artists back with us at Bonzai Progressive. 'The Crossing Mind' opens the release, taking us down a trippy pathway and laying down a lush progressive groove in the process. Rolling percussions, punchy drums and a pulsating bassline create a buoyant first act. Sweeping FX and enchanting vox pads build tension in the groove, lifting the mood on the dancefloor. A sublime break reveals cinematic qualities before we head to the conclusion and more of that pure progressive goodness. 'Brainstomper' is next, rounding out the release with a slow burning and powerfully deep proggy trip. Evolving pads sit on a bed of tight drums and bright percussions, while thick basses shore up the low-end. On the break, we enter a cosmic world, filled with spacey FX and hypnotic arpeggios that create a darker atmosphere. A strong and solid cut that will definitely fit the journey-led sets.
