Since 1992, Arkatec, otherwise known as Thomas Penton, has been producing progressive house and techno music and in attempt has generated a new direction in EDM. His name, unlike any producer heard of before, came about due to his creation and designs from the ground up.
This year is said to be Arkatec’s “break out year” with three songs being released throughout the months of April and May – Vadim Koks’ “Waterland (Arkatec Remix)” on Dextrous Records, Jason Jollins’ “That Discovery (Arkatec Remix)” on Acute Recordings, and Dr. K & Nii vs. Shiha ft. Jan Johnston’s “Dangerous (Arkatec & Anselmo Remix)” on Manufactured Music. With that said, his songs are something you definitely do not want to miss!

This progressive house and techno remix preview by Arkatec is a little something that takes me back to when I first started listening to EDM. The song obtains some trance elements that knock this floor filling release to the ground. This song is a Beatport Exclusive release, which will be released on April 9, 2014 on Dextrous Records.
Jason Jollins – That Discovery (Arkatec Remix)
Scheduled to be released on April 24, 2014, this Beatport Exclusive release through Acute Recordings is a colossal hard-hitting techno mix neighboring progressive house. The beginning of this songs give the essence of a Carl Cox song as the bass line proceeds to rise higher and higher.

This remix done by Arkatec and Anselmo is unlike Arkatec’s previous songs, this one obtaining the swift vocals of Jan Johnston. Arkatec’s signature progressive house and techno sounds encompass the darker melodies as the high beat energy is released through the drop. This song is yet another Beatport Exclusive to be released on May 19, 2014 on Manufactured Music.
Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with Arkatec!
