Rayan Hermes aka Aert Prog returns to his Sagmen imprint with a sultry single including remixes from Citizenn, Lubelski, Andre Salmon & No Else and Vincent Casanova.

Rayan Hermes’ Sagmen imprint created alongside Andre Salmon is renowned in the house music world for delivering club-ready, effervescent productions from artists such as James Teej, Raul Garcia and Cristhian Balcazar that have collectively picked up support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Carlo Lio, Laurent Garnier, Joris Voorn and more. Rayan has been making waves in the scene in recent years releasing music on MIGHTYMAD, Laboratory Records and Popof’s label Form. His ‘Flashing Memory’ EP sees him invite remixes from Crosstown Rebels and Mobilee artist Citizenn, in addition to Percomaniacs label head Lubelski, Kindisch artist Vincent Casanova and label regular Andre Salmon who collaborates with Witty Tunes’ No Else.

‘Flashing Memory’ begins proceedings with low-slung bass grooves balanced with ringing sonics swirling around the eccentric vocals that keep things rolling throughout. Citizenn’s remix deploys sharp drums, shimmering rhythms and growing modulations before Lubelski offers up playful energies with his version as the rattling percussion fuse harmoniously with acid-tinged synth shoots and bouncy low frequencies.

Trippy melodies together with whirring oscillations and punchy subs take the focus in Andre Salmon & No Else’s vibrant remix until Vincent Casanova masterfully rounds off the EP with deep riding textures as the minimal aesthetics layered deliciously with 303 oscillations and hypnotising, percussive sequence.

Rayan Hermes ‘Flashing Memory’ EP drops on Sagmen on 15th November 2019 (Beatport) and 29th November 2019 (All Stores).
