More wild progressions

Check it.  This is one hell of a ride if you play it nicely.  Treat it like a pretty girl who you're about to take on an expensive date.  The kind that you don't just throw back on the street when you're done.  The kind you treat nice.  Like a cool progression.

Here it is:

| E°  F- | Bb7  Eb- | Ab7  Db | Ab-  Db7 | % | F#  C° |

First some justification/analysis of it all, then a little hint on how to play it sweet.

Analysis:
This is the way I would describe it.  The E diminished is the same as "F flat diminished" which is just stupid.  But either way it is one way of expressing the lowered mediant of the key of Db;  a very nice lead into the actual mediant of the key, which is the next chord, F minor.  From here, you want maybe a nice ii-V-I, because the mediant can function as a substitution for the tonic, which pretty much (in jazz) takes you straight to the ii-V-I.  So here we have a little bit of secondary dominant action.  The Bb7 is the dominant chord in the key of Eb harmonic minor.  So why not use it to lead into the Eb- (the supertonic in the key of Db).  Good deal!  We've arrived at the ii chord!  Well now all that's left is to go "V-I".  Go.  Done.  Now we're safely at the Db.  But what, who wants a booooooring single key progression like this.  Oh, oh, I know.  Let's bring it down a little bit.  Oh well look at that, we could just play a little ii-V-I in F#, thats a nice sound now isn't it.  Beautiful.  I guess the only thing left is to get back to the beginning.  Well hmmmmmmm... hey, C° is the vii° chord in Db!  And well done, we've made a circular progression.  Yayyyyyy.

Now a couple hints on making it sound nice.
This is undoubtedly a jazzy progression.  Play it clean, some good, relatively flat equalization.  Use all the appropriate embellishments/tensions.  My version consists of a lot of chromaticism in the voice leading.  If you do it right, you can get a very nice movement of the upper voice just going straight down from the E° all the way to the Db, and if you're really good, beyond.

UP, UP, AND A AWAY!
