    Bhaskar and Kohen Cultivate A Progressive Sonic Journey on 9-Track Compilation “CONTROVERSIA vol. 010,” Featuring 6 Exclusive Tracks From Alok’s Label

    CONTROVERSIA RECORDS releases the 10th chapter of their notable compilation series, but this time Alok has handed the reins to his brother Bhaskar and label veteran Kohen for its creation. The two artists are known for their affinity for the more underground and dancefloor-oriented side of dance music, and this package contains some incredible crowd-pleasers, including 6 brand-new and 3 recently released tracks from BhaskarYves V, and Robert Falcon. Featuring Kohen‘s new release – “Sirene,” as its headlining record, things start out strong with dark progressive house basslines and melodies that create impressive texture and depth. “Different” from Double MZK is a sultry and groovy vocal house gem, while Driver of the Future‘s “Just Dancing” creates the perfect club atmosphere with its undulating basslines and euphonious melodies. “Awakened Dreamers” by Ritual Frequencies is as ethereal as its title, rounding out this sonic journey through a myriad of genres and emotions. CONTROVERSIA knows how to deliver a truly sophisticated, epic experience, and we hope there are more compilations coming from Bhaskar and Kohen.
