Sam Hopgood steps up to Music To Die For with new EP ‘The Forgotten Ones,’ which comes with a remix from label mainstay Fauxplay.

One of the hottest up & coming new talents out of Australia, Melbourne-based Sam Hopgood’s music blurs the boundaries between melody, groove and clever sound design, weaving through genres on labels like Balance, Mango Alley, Selador & Soundgarden.

‘Divergent’ kicks off with shimmering prog synths that wash over a sleek groove with scene leaders Dave Seaman & Anthony Pappa who already approve. It’s rich in emotion and one to get dancers in a trance with hands-in-the-air soaring melodic synths that will be whirring round your mind for days.

Fauxplay rocketed into the dance scene in 2022 and has topped Beatport charts three times since, claiming a position amongst the new breed of anointed underground electronic producers. His remix takes things a little more driving on a heads down journey, layering in extra raw tension but keeping the serene, hypnotic synth work to build a bigger, more bold groove.

‘The Forgotten Ones’ keeps it deep and stylish with more sophisticated sonic craft work unfolding in epic fashion with well-designed hypnotic drums and angelic vocal sounds that tug at the heart and ramp up emotional tension. ‘Gone Far’ Away closes off with a more lively rhythm and celestial chords that bring great scale and a sense of grandeur in a deeper progressive house style.

This is a timeless EP full of innovative melodic and progressive house sounds.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Divergent’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
