A legendary figure within the underground dance fraternity, Pole Folder has been a regular contributor to the Proton Music catalogues over a 15-year period that began in 2006. Among a series of high-profile releases in recent years, 2018's "A Glimpse into the Past" and 2020's "Serengeti" have been outstanding original EPs. It is therefore with enormous pleasure that we welcome back Pole Folder in 2021 with a cast-iron progressive house classic in "Mara". Characterised by delicate percussive top line of delayed claves, gorgeous pads and vibrato lead take centre stage as a multi-coloured landscape gently develops in the early stages with reversed effects and subtle vocal effects. A driving beat enters the fray at the mid-point before a sumptuous bassline sequence creates a truly impressive backdrop for the melodic elements introduced in the first half, to revel in a club-friendly structure.

Little has been left unsaid in relation to GMJ & Matter's seismic contribution to Proton Music. At the beating heart of the label's progressive house output for 5 years, the duo has lit up the underground scene from their studio in Melbourne's idyllic environs. Together, they have been responsible for a host of collaborative original offerings since 2016's "Superposition" while remixes for Andre Sobota, Juan Deminicis and an August 2020 reworking of Nōpi's "Parallel Words", are now complemented by another classic remix. Using Pole Folder's central melodic themes with care and immaculate precision, the Australian pair have carved out a rhythmic structure that rolls gently across their 7-minute offering while themes from "Mara" sparkle across the sonic spectrum. Weaving a glorious sonic tapestry with golden threads from the original's bassline, the track opens up in cinematic grandeur at the breakdown with haunting original melodies and cascading arpeggio before exploding into life once more in the second half with energy and vitality.

Another artist requiring little in the way of introduction to the Proton faithful, Michael A has also been a regular with a cornucopia of original and remix production material that has lit up the label since February 2017's "Bright Hope" EP. A glittering three-year period followed before the Belarusian embarked on a new chapter with his "Fantasy" series, soon to see a third incarnation with "Volume, 3" on the horizon. Remixes for Andrea Cassino, James Warren and Imran Khan have complemented original production material as Michael now reciprocates with Pole Folder after the Belgian remixed "Orbital" in late 2017. Reimagining "Mara", Michael A uses the rhythmic elements of the original to impressive effect as he creates a new groove around the central clave loop. Evolving in elegant fashion a swathe of production material introduces new melodies that criss-cross each other in delicate fashion, blossoming into a sparkling arpeggio in the latter stages. Smooth pads and white-noise effects combine with the reversed motif so prominent in Pole Folder's work as the resonant bassline creates a familiar aural stamp.

As "Mara" takes centre stage, Pole Folder showcases a wealth of talent ably supported by GMJ & Matter and Michael A.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Rinzen is an electronic artist seeking to build entire worlds with his music. Dedicated to the pursuit of wonder, Rinzen combines mind-melting cinematic sound design with authentic techno production to create something that is awe-inspiring.

Now, on the prestigious Bedrock imprint, he releases his 'Magical Realism' EP, a trio of forward-thinking tracks with experimental futuristic sonics. Kicking off the EP 'Love Interest' combines rumbling industrial kicks with melodic synths and eery echoing spoken vocals to create a gorgeously deep and unique piece of music. The next track, 'Magical Realism', introduces low basslines and suspenseful synths.

The final track of the EP 'The Alchemist' features a stabbing bass foregrounded by ambient vocal samples building gradually to a colossal and euphoric breakdown primed for early-hours packed out dancefloors.

Red Sun Rising, the evocative Polish psychill project helmed by Michał Niecikowski, returns once more with 'The Moon', a dreamy two‑track EP spotlighting the ethereal vocal of Alia Fay. Released under Altar Records, this EP arrives nearly four years after the profoundly 'Forest Stories Ep' and continues to embody that same organic, melodic vibe that fans have come to cherish.

Track 1 opens with gently undulating pads and a sense of dawn-like emergence. Alia’s voice, warm and haunting, coils around a serene flute melody, creating a feeling of floating between dream and sunrise.
Track 2 deepens the journey with pulsating rhythms and richer textural layers. Alia’s vocals here weave with subtle electronic echoes, reinforcing the psychill palette while retaining a sense of ritualistic intimacy.

Michał’s production shines through in both pieces, organic instrumentation (flute, field-like atmospheres) blends seamlessly with modern sound design, evoking landscapes both familiar and surreal.
Alia Fay’s performance is the surface jewel, her vocals are pure, floating, and deeply emotive; her 
flute lines, where present, add a timeless dimension.

Enjoy !
