Hitting the heights on a regular basis, over 800 production credits sit proudly next to Michael A's name for the likes of Sudbeat, Mango Alley and Replug. Particles and Proton Music have also been a regular home for the Belarusian with a further three original EPs between February 2017's "Bright Hope" debut and May 2019's "Geometria". Returning with "Twinkling Stars", the title track is a typically impressive affair with deep, rolling groove and seismic bass prowess. Building with ease a smooth arpeggio drifts into sonic range with its glittering delays. Aptly titled, shimmering motifs glisten across the track's powerful rhythmic framework, juxtaposed elegantly against the lighter melodic elements. "Vibrance" continues Michael A's penchant for deep bass prowess, anchored tightly to an exquisite shuffling percussive top-line that adds dancefloor dynamism. Before long, a simple motif comes into play to add hypnotic texture while sumptuous pads supply depth and intrigue that build into a post-breakdown illustrating Michael's skill and craft.

Matty Doyle is a modern production heavyweight. Through his Matter moniker, the Australian has built a sizeable reputation for himself with a plethora of high-profile releases and DJ performances across the globe in London, Amsterdam and his Melbourne hometown. A host of releases on Proton Music in solo and collaborative guises – often with long-term friend and production partner, GMJ – has seen Matter release music of the very highest order that saw the 2016's "Pronoia" and 2017's "We Are Dust" EPs bolster his reputation. Returning to remix Michael A after a February 2019 reworking of Embliss' "Lone Wolf", Matter takes "Twinkling Stars" on a trademark journey of power, precision and smooth bassline dominance. Using the remix parts to creative effect, combined with a bevy of additional material, the result is a sparkling offering that grows in detail with each passing minute as filters and delays open up into a glorious breakdown crescendo of melodic passion. Continuing into the latter stages with ease, the result is near nine minutes of sonic perfection.

Janko Dragovic is another name steeped in underground music history. As originally part of the Progress Inn duo, Dragovic's success under his Desaturate pseudonym is no less impressive. Moreover, collaborations with Rick Pier O'Neil, and Forniva on Particles has seen Desaturate amass an impressive collection of original music while May 2016's "The Unholy Mountain" was a high-quality 3-track solo outing. January 2018's "Wanderer" saw a powerful Proton debut as a remix of Huminal's "Macropsia" in April 2019 is now followed by a compelling reworking of "Vibrance" characterised by a smooth bouncing bassline groove and syncopated percussion. Building effortlessly using themes resonant in the original, new melodic flourishes emerge that shimmer in rich delays. Hitting its stride post-breakdown, a filtered and modulated arpeggio comes to the fore to provide a dynamic vibrancy to the latter stages.

Originals from Michael A combined with remixes from Matter and Desaturate keep "Twinkling Stars" in ascendance.

Valeria Petz - Shooting Star [3rd Avenue]

A growing force in the world of underground dance, Juan Pablo Torrez is a renowned artist in his Cali hometown and far beyond. Head of the impressive Clubsonica Records, his growing portfolio has seen music signed to Perspectives Digital, UV and JOOF. Following a 2017 remix for Particles, the Colombian makes his original EP debut. "Nia" is a pounding progressive house gem that bristles with menacing bassline and rolling percussive groove. A vocal cut adds stereo-panned spice before emotive melodies make their presence felt into the breakdown and onto a dynamic third movement. "Jara" continues the glorious driving power of its partner track as hypnotic rhythms and arpeggios lay the foundation for a filtered female vocal to sit atop. A rippling synth line adds intrigue and a strong bassline change immediately adds energy and emotion as the track reaches its zenith. Additional synth lines in the second half provide a touch of class and mature production prowess.

A Melbourne resident, David Leckenby has seen his career trajectory rise impressively since a 2016 debut for Crosslink Music. An artist who has seen his work allied to such impressive imprints as Soundteller Records, Consapevole and Emotional Content Recordings – with support from Hernan Cattaneo, Mariano Mellino and Andrea Cassino – the Australian's "Primal Connection" EP for Particles marked a notable highlight in February 2020 including a remix from fellow Melbourne residents, GMJ and Matter. Now returning, the David Leckenby remix takes "Jara" in a smooth organic house route that envelops the listener with relaxed groove and muted synth palette via glorious piano phrasing. A ticking percussive groove adds intensity while a series of counterpoint motifs play off the central motif; the result is an innovative and impressive remix.

Joining forces in 2018, Toronto based duo, Beije, have an impressive selection of releases under their belt for such blue-chip imprints as Nugget Music, Polyptych and Paul Hazendonk's Manual Music. Now making their Particles debut, the Canadian pair have created a wonderful reworking of "Nia" that uses the recognisable melodic elements of Juan Pablo Torrez's work while creating a new rhythmic framework and mid-range bass pattern. The vocal phrase so central to the original is reimagined in hypnotic patterns that criss-cross the stereo spectrum in dizzying fashion. The result is a strong Particles debut appearance full of Beije's "hypnotic rhythms and melancholic melodies".

Two original tracks from Juan Pablo Torrez and remixes from David Leckenby and Beije showcase "Jara / Nia".
