Shiha came to our attention when he submitted his demo track during a live A&R session on Twitch. A first version of 'Lucid Dream 1' was actually the song he submitted, and after some back and forth the final version is here in front of you. A warm moody piece of deep house music.

'Lucid Dream 2' has got a proper upbeat bounce to it without losing sight of the deepness. Moody yet uplifting this one. Beautiful tune!

On remix duties we welcome back 3Kilo to the label and when we asked them if they'd be up for remixing one of the Lucid Dreams they simply replied 'why not both?', so here we are with two proper stripped down grooves.

Una introducción que gana intensidad, una melodía que aparece tímida y suma protagonismo hasta que los bajos entran en acción. De ahí en más, el viaje queda a cargo del capitán Mellino, quien se ha encargado de realizar un gran trabajo, introduciendo diferentes capas con inteligencia. Ideal para acelerar el proceso, cerrar un capítulo y empezar a tirar munición  pesada a la pista de baile.

Happy You, Happy Me

Chris Cargo from Belfast (United Kingdom) is up next. Well known for his earlier work on Renaissance, Choo Choo Records & Method Records, music that had set a path for the current movement of melodic progressive house, Chris is back in action after nearly a decade of silence. Without wasting any time, he managed to get on Bonzai Progressive, Lowbit, Sprout, Soundteller & Clinique with some stellar releases. For Juicebox Music, he’s brought in a gem in the form of “Crystal”. A chunky & bouncy bassline sits along with the percussion-filled groove to carry the weight as shots of a crescendo melody get fired around. Pads slowly creep up in the background & a subtle riff joins in as they all converge in the end.

First appearing on the "Winter Particles 2018" compilation, "Arrival" showcased Imran Khan's burgeoning talent. Now joined by a second track, in the shape of "Dreamcatcher", a pair of remixes from central and south America continue the story.

An artist with a rapidly rising profile, Imran Khan first came to prominence by way of a pair of original EPs that showcased a quintet of original tracks in late 2016. Going on to feature on a range of high-calibre imprints that include Stellar Fountain, Astrowave and Seva Records, a pair of remixes of Hot TuneiK's "Erase and Rewind" in October 2017 and Kamilo Sanclemente's "Eva" in May 2018, saw Khan become a regular on Particles. "Dreamcatcher" captures the essence of Imran Khan's penchant for smooth melodic lines and sultry rhythmic framework. Evolving gently through muted arpeggio sequence that gradually opens up with shimmering panned delay, pulsating pads and counterpoint motif add depth and space to a contemplative and beautifully crafted track.

Colombian duo, Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat have been regular collaborators since joining forces to remix Alfonso Muchacho's "Things Change" for Stellar Fountain in August 2016. Both successful artists in their own rights, Sanclemente's music for Perspectives Digital and FSOE UV have been notable highlights, while Dabeat's "Light As Air" EP for Pollen Flug Records provided rich entertainment in March 2018. Working their combined magic for the likes of Spring Tube Limited and FSOE UV, the Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat remix of "Arrival" captures the essence of Imran Khan's original with its intelligent use of the central grooved melodic element that extends out into a stereo-panned hypnotic sequence. A raft of additional production material is carefully constructed around these central elements, building to a rousing crescendo in the breakdown before rhythm and a slew of emotive melodies combine to mesmerising effect in the third movement.

Mexican producer, Hot TuneiK needs little introduction to the Particles faithful, centred around his best-selling "Erase and Rewind" in October 2017 and the twin-track "Tulum" EP in May 2018. A further double century of production credits can be found for a series of blue-chip imprints that include, Balkan Connection, Sound Avenue and the Visceral compilation series, while April 2018's "Revival" EP for Proton Music saw a stunning original debut following a remix of Andre Sobota's "Departure" at the end of 2017. Hitting is stride with trademark production flair, the Hot TuneiK remix of "Dreamcatcher" is a dark and brooding affair that takes the melodic themes central to the original and extends them into a new and hypnotic direction that oozes quality. Pausing at the mid-point for a stripped back moment of sonic magic, the third movement sees a mesmerising groove continue to strike a chord with Imran Khan's narrative.

Imran Khan's stunning new "Arrival" sees remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente, Dabeat and Hot TuneiK take-off with new departures of sonic flair.

Arrival

Imran Khan - Dreamcatcher (Hot TuneiK Remix)

Far less often than I would like or plan to do so, I produce music. As I have become busier in other areas of the underground dance scene, the time between tracks also increases. So, following up on my "Breathless" EP for Proton Music in March 2011, I'm extremely proud to now release "Opiate" with remixes from LADS and Michael A.

Heavily influenced by the sounds of Stephan Bodzin, Patrice Baumel and ARTBAT, "Opiate" started life as intro I'd written for another project. It sat on my hard drive waiting to be turned into a full track and I'm indebted to Jamie Stevens for helping me turn it into something I feel is quite special. Driven by a desire to create cascading arpeggio melodies with a deep resonating bassline and driving beat, the result was sculpted into shape with the help of Jamie's exacting eye for detail and encyclopaedic production knowledge.

The first remix comes from German and South African duo, LADS. Luc Angenehm has produced some amazing tracks for Proton Music under his own name before joining forces with Deep Suite. The 2016 "Kaiserkraft" and "Isabel" EP were glorious examples of Angenehm's work before the pair came together to create the stunning "Miss Jean" and "Hagel" EPs in September 2017 and May 2018. Other work for You Plus One and Nie Wieder Schlafen have showcased burgeoning talents while LADS have also been regulars on my Visceral radio show and compilation series. Reworking "Opiate", LADS have created a beautifully delicate and elegant interpretation that focuses on one of the key melodic themes, combined with an untreated vocal cut, to create a sublime remix. Adding a stripped back rhythmic foundation, a new stepped arpeggio sits atop in exquisite synchrony with emotive bassline to create a very special new version.

Belarusian, Michael A, is another artist who has had a very strong relationship with Proton Music since his February 2017 "Bright Hope" debut. "Symbol", "My Style" and "Aura Tears" quickly followed throughout the rest of 2017 and early 2018. As prolific as he is talented, Michael's work has continued to find its way on to a host of stellar imprints that include Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat, Cid Inc.'s Replug and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital, additionally supported by the likes of Nick Warren and Guy J. Over 750 production credits now grace the Belarusian's portfolio as he continues to chart an all-conquering path through the underground dance scene. With a typically melodious approach, the Michael A remix takes "Opiate" on a rip-roaring voyage that harnesses the central arpeggio motif from the original and builds a luxurious and textured new reworking around it. Combining a host of additional production work, a new arpeggio riff can be heard as textured chord progressions, rich bassline and white-noise infused effects sparkle over seven-and-a-half minutes. A sumptuous rolling groove adds further to another sparkling Michael A remix.

Remixes from LADS and Michael A have seen "Opiate" hit a new high.

'Always looking at dance music through an original lens, Darin Epsilon's ground-breaking label now introduces a new series. Designed to showcase the wealth of global talent within the underground fraternity, "Perspectives Around the World, Vol. 1" presents a quartet of new tracks from renowned artists across North America, South America, Europe, and Australia.

A Perspectives Digital regular with a compelling blend of rhythm and melody on original and remix production material, Paul Kardos has grown in stature with every release. Work with Epsilon saw immediate chart success as has high-profile work for Clubsonica, OLD SQL, and Hope Recordings – the latter with Alex Orion on April 2019's "Control / Timeless" EP for the Nick Warren led imprint. "Miraculously" finds Paul Kardos carrying on where he left off with a squelching, popping percussive top line that provides the perfect framework for a rich and smooth array of pads to wend a willowy path across the first half. A new glassy chord makes an appearance midway to add texture and beauty to the chunky background groove and Kardos' skill is to juxtapose disparate elements that coalesce within a joyous whole.'

'Hitting the Proton Music release schedule in mid-2020, Juan Deminicis and his twin-track "Synchronicity" was an instant classic. With a pair of remixes from Alex O'Rion and Subandrio forthcoming on the flagship imprint, a 'Particles Edition' sees remixes from Colombian and UAE artists.

From the northern Caribbean coast city of Cartagena, Gux Jimenez has been a mainstay of the Colombian dance music scene for over 15 years. Nominated for the Latin American Electronic Music and Vicious Music Awards in 2018, Jimenez has an enviable triple century of production credits to his name for such esteemed imprints as Round Triangle, Balkan Connection and fellow countryman, Juan Pablo Torrez's Clubsonica Records.

Making his Particles debut, the Gux Jimenez remix of "Synchronicity" is a multi-layered offering that bears all the melodic hallmarks of Juan Deminicis' original offering. Adding a driving beat and 16th-note rolling bassline, familiar refrains ripple across the mid-range while white-noise washes and dancefloor character create a dynamic new sound that reaches its zenith via a filtered and fizzing rendition of the stepped arpeggio so central to the original. The result is a rich and impressive Particles debut.'
