Operating out of the Sofia capital, Yavore makes his Suffused Music debut via his "Sublime" EP. A pair of remixes come from fellow Bulgarian countrymen, DJ Borra and Allan Zax.

With a penchant for analogue sound and deep bass, Yavore has found an array of impressive imprints to feature his music since the 12-track "Mocean" album hit Symphonic Distribution in December 2017. Since then, a growing number of "complex projects" and "creative ideas" have found themselves featured on Smart Phenomena Records, 19Box and Black Mirror Recordings over 2020 and early 2021. Now debuting on Suffused Music, "Sublime" comprises a characteristically complex rhythmic foundation with deep and pulsating bassline that develops through emotive chord change. Adding a swathe of melodic textures atop courtesy of vibrato-edged arpeggio and shimmering lead line, a reverb-drenched vocal line adds intrigue at the mid-point before "Sublime" picks up the pace once more in the second half to impressive effect.

Also hailing from Sofia, DJ Borra has been involved in the dance music industry for almost 20 years. With DJ performances across his native Bulgaria since the mid 1990s, and residencies at some of the capital's biggest clubs, a move into the production arena towards the end of the 2000s saw a 2008 debut for Dirty Fabric Digital. Since then, a double century of production credits has found their way on to the likes of Massive Harmony Records, PHW Elements and Capital Heaven. A pair of releases on Suffused Music saw a debut remix for Anton MAKe in 2014, followed by "Until I Fall Asleep" later that year. Now returning for the first time in almost 7 years, the DJ Borra remix is a glittering affair that bristles with dynamic energy as syncopated motif locks tightly against heavy beat, swung percussive hats and dominant clap. Using the central pillar of Yavore's musical theme, Borra's skill is to place the spotlight in different locations highlighting a "Sublime" character, but very much located within his own narrative arc.

The final Bulgarian star to take up the remix mantle is Allan Zax. Working from his home on the Black Sea coast, the Burgas resident has almost two decades of experience in the dance music industry in a variety of genres before focusing on a sound influenced by deep and progressive house. Since a 2010 debut for Grouper Recordings, a triple century of production credits has found their way onto a plethora of high-profile imprints that include the likes of Plattenbank, PHW Elements and Dutchie Worldwide. Indeed, November 2020's "Decimus" album for the latter, celebrated a decade long association with the label. Finding his way onto Suffused Music in early 2021, Allan Zax creates a deep, emotive "Sublime" reworking that captures the melodic themes prevalent in Yavore's original, while adding an array of new production material. Through an Italo disco-inspired bassline, Zax sets fire to his remix with a new energy, club-friendly beat and rapid-fire percussion that provide the perfect vehicle for the melodic motifs and vocal cuts central to Yavore's work. The result is an impressive debut that is sure to find favour with dancefloors throughout the summer of 2021.
