Descent has made a huge impact this year with releases on Tune Inn, Fade, Release, Stellar and remixing for labels such as Lost Language.

'Electric Storm' is characterized by otherworldly effects, subtle ear-tingling atmospheres and a plastic groove. Thomas Penton turns in an urgent mix with tribal undertones, monstrous growls and stuttering fills. Menacing and danceable, this mix erupts with tons of energy.

"Extreme props to Descent for this splendid record that not only sounds gorgeous (lots of anorak flourishes), but contains a real grooving houser at its core. Very much in the Tom Stephan vein with staccato drum programming, all manner of buzzing analogue stabs and a straight from the hip, three note bassline. It’s production that wins in the end, as the breaks are built around gorgeous rising pads and some seriously beautiful, ethereal sound design. It’s nice to see someone other than D Ramirez putting this amount of work into a tune. M8/M8bs!" - Lee Pattison & Grayson Shipley, M8 Magazine (UK)

"Fresh from the presses in the promo run for the first release on new label Propulsion Records. Coming up first for this label is a lovely little slice of club music from Descent. Descent has made appearances on Fade, Stellar and of course our very own Release Elememts. Electric Storm builds in lush layers to the gorgeous breakdown climax of digeridoos and big pads before errupting into an emotional finale. On the flip Thomas Penton shines with a low-down dirty techy mix with absolutely HUGE stabs!" - Release Records (Canada)

Right of the bat I’ll tell this tribal baby is a gem. Perfect for a variety of uses, but mainly to grip your dance floor as you lead them into progressive heaven. Both cuts are amazing. The original is a ballsy tribal assassin that roams under the radar, silently rinsing the room. The second is a Thomas Penton remix that is chunkier then the soup, but still holding the fort down for the die-hard progressive fans. - Simon Jain, nocturnalmagazine.net (Canada)

For the debut release on Propulsion Records, the choice has fallen on Descent, who has been working on a lot of new music lately and who has been signed to some prominent labels, such as Tune Inn, Fade and Release. To put some strength behind the release, a remix by Thomas Penton is been used.   ‘Electric Storm’ (Original) has a ripping bass-line with a tribal undertone. Layer after layer of beats and synths get build onto each other right from the start, almost ending in two breaks. After the second break, the track really kicks of with twice the power: a heavier and harder sounding ‘growl’, synths and strings pushing their way into your ears and the bass-line coming in darker and deeper. The track ends calmly and deeply with the slowing down of the ripping bass-line and the fading of the synths. Twice during the track a fast and quick rumbling kicks in, almost sounding electro-like, adding a nice surprise to the track in fully.  The ‘Thomas Penton Remix’ starts right of with a heavy beat, layered with synths. Compared to the original, this remix is very controlled. The drums, the synths, the effects…everything matches perfectly. Not unique, but very clean-cut.   ‘Electric Storm’ is a track that requires some listening to, but ones you get the feeling, you realise that Propulsion Records made a good choice as to make this track their first release." - Eduardo, Xpander.nl (The Netherlands)

Descent erupts onto the scene once again, with a fresh piece of music; a trance and progressive house hybrid with heavy bass and pumping synths. Thomas Penton is up on remix duties and belts out a strong remix with huge synth parts, and tribal drumming, making this, at least on paper, a promising debut release for Propulsion Records.  The 'Original Mix' starts off by opening up with nice watery sounding drums. The beats build upon each other, and then drop into a swirly atmosphere. Synths drop in, and an arpeggiated rhythm loop hooks us in. The bassline rolls underneath as the beats come back in nice and bouncy, along with some washy synth tones. We pop into another break, and a new analog sounding synth, which builds and takes over the song. The sound is reminiscent of older trance anthems, but still subdued enough to have a nice groove. There’s a vocal stretched into the song for a nice human touch, and then the beats pounce back in. The rising synths keep it going all the way till the end.   'Thomas Penton' has been a heavy hitter in the progressive scene for years. He’s had many originals and remixes behind him, and appeared on numerous compilations. His remix is a stunning fusion of heavy beats, and controlled synths. The drums start us off again. The rumbling bassline keeps a nice groove. It’s bouncy, and the synths are a whipped up sound, pushing you harder into a explosive break. The drums subside and the synths roar out, become quiet as we fall into a dark planet. Coming back in heavy with the congos and tribal drumming, Thomas ends the track with the storming sounds and and heavy beats.   Descent has been working on tons of new music lately, and has signed to some very prominent labels. He creates a nice fusion of progressive house nd trance, with great drums and thick basslines. This is definitely something made for a big room, and the Thomas Penton remix is not something for the faint hearted. -Chloe Harris, Progressive-Sounds.com (USA)

For the debut release on Propulsion Records, the label has called on the services of Descent and his Electric Storm. To help matters it also comes with a remix from proven producer, Thomas Penton.   Firstly on the a-side is the Original Mix. Some chunky beats begin the production shortly before a quirky electro rumbling breakdown stops the track early on. The beats then come crashing in as it flows very nicely with the rumbling of the sounds and the crashing of the beats uniting. The track then breaks down again shortly after, but really takes off from this point, as strings and smooth pads give it a bit of a rise in the mood.  On the flip is the Thomas Penton Remix. From the outset the quality is apparent, as Penton reworks the baseline to good effect and keeps the atmospheric elements in action throughout the production. The track also features some screeching effects late on that also give it a unique edge. It’s a quality debut release for the label, with both the original and Penton remix providing quality moments. - Residentadvisor.com.au (Australia)
