The title track, “Rules Of Thoughts”, is a hypnotic journey built on evolving textures, lush pads, and a driving low-end that balances dancefloor energy with deep introspection. It’s progressive house at its finest – intelligent, melodic, and expansive. Taking the reins on remix duty is André Moret, the Brazilian maestro whose cosmic touch has been celebrated on labels like The Soundgarden, PlattenBank Records, and Clubsonica Records. His interpretation adds a shimmering, atmospheric layer to the original, blending celestial melodies with pulsating grooves for a stunning rework that feels both ethereal and club-ready.
The second original, “Event Horizon”, lives up to its name – dark yet radiant, with a gravitational pull that draws listeners into its emotive core. The track balances intricate soundscapes with tight progressive rhythms, offering a more mysterious counterpart to the opener. On remix duties, Plecta and Jelly For The Babies, already known for their collaborative synergy, transform Event Horizon into a deep, melodic voyage. Their remix highlights subtle organic touches and flowing harmonies, adding warmth and dimension while retaining the intensity of the original.
Together, these four cuts form a release that feels timeless yet fresh – a true progressive house gem. Rules Of Thoughts not only showcases Max Blade’s growth as a producer but also brings together three highly respected artists who elevate the project with their distinctive remix signatures.
For fans of intelligent, melodic, and deeply atmospheric progressive house, this is a must-listen release.
