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".
