Coconoize & Del Piero - Wave

An artist who epitomises the modern underground dance industry, Michael A is as gifted as is he is affable. Returning to Proton Music for fourth original EP in the space of twelve months, it is a genuine honour to welcome him back to the label with "Aura Tears".

From the central-southern city of Mazyr, rich in natural resources, Mikhail Akulich has mined from a rich seam of talent through his Michael A moniker. One of his country's most exciting talents, the Belarusian producer continues to find himself at the vanguard of the underground scene with his distinctive blend of "progressive house and techno". A prolific artist, some 650 production credits sit proudly next to the Michael A name; a profound achievement given a commercial debut with a clutch of original releases for Sterofaza and Fluro Music in mid-2012.

Since then a panoply of original and remix production material has been within the catalogues of some of the finest modern independent imprints, not least in the February 2017 "Micrologica" EP for Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat plus work for Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital and Cid Inc.'s Replug. Further original work for Mango Alley has also seen a high-profile remix from Australian icon, Jamie Stevens, while Akulich has also founded his own Genesis Music imprint to great effect and a regular vehicle for his production work. Hitting the Particles catalogues in late 2013, 2014's "Behind The Moon" was a notable highlight, as was March 2017's "Sapphire". Hitting Proton Music at the same time, a trio of original EPs have been spread across 2017 with "Bright Hope", "Symbol" and "My Style" all worthy of appearance on the flagship label. Now, Michael A returns to Proton with another original offering in the shape of "Aura Tears".

The title track is a beautifully sculpted piece that blossoms into a pulsating and driving anthem that is a perfect example of modern underground progressive house. Richly textured, floating pads and shining melody reveal themselves fully in the stripped breakdown before reaching a crescendo in the third movement, while a glorious bassline progression adds genuine purpose and interest in a work of great skill.

Revelling in similar melodic themes to its predecessor, "Ciklus One" is founded upon a strong rhythmic framework that supplies dancefloor interest in off-beat percussive cadence. Simultaneously a deep bass groove sparks low-end electricity while intelligent spacing within the mix and across the stereo spectrum highlights technique and mature production craft.

The final track continues the melodic tropes of earlier work as textured pads and shimmering motifs emerge over the seven-minute journey that coruscates brilliantly at the mid-point breakdown. Binding rhythm and melody together with bassline glue, a sublime groove keeps dynamism high accompanied by deep kick and ticking percussion.

Three new tracks find tears of joy rooted in Michael A's aura.

This one will definitely be one of our strongest releases of the year! The acclaimed Serbian DJ & producer Dusan Sekic AKA Circle of Life is back with another rocking release. "Dominacija" is a perfectly crafted tune, amazing drive and percussions put the dance-floor on fire, tested and played by artists like Solomun, we know this one will be heard all over the globe.

The remix duties come from Latin America. Straight from Argentina, Juan Deminicis & Marcelo Dalessandro delivered a superb remix, amazing energy and melodies, great job! Last but not least, Vazik took the track into a different dimension, acid leads and harmonic vocals, the result? A timeless EP… Enjoy!

Belgian warrior Sieg Motmans, aka Siege, brings four complete weapons to Alan Fitzpatrick’s
trailblazing label We Are The Brave. No excuses not to move to this one, with each track having
its own distinct dance floor appeal!
Straight out of the barrel with ‘Play It’, Siege brings you a fierce stomper, comprised of chunky,
grooving drums, subtle vocal flickers, building synths and some mental synths after the drop.
‘Galaxy’ is a perfectly formed progressive roller with all the traits of a classic terrace weapon.
Steering from being a cheeky groover into a huge drop with a soulful vocal chop that will switch
up your set in seconds. ‘That’s It’ is built from its fat chord structure with accompanying drums
and some synths from outer space. The record closes with ‘The Riff’, a bluesy roller with an
earworm of a riff over the top and some trippy vocal slices.

Pre-order

Premiere: Fat Cosmoe - Cyclope (Original Mix)

Waiting is sort of an interim state that exists because of a future occurrence. But what kind of feelings are triggered if you realize that the anticipated event fails to occur? “I’m waiting for nothing.” Do you feel frustrated? Does the waiting period become a farce? Was it all for nothing?
“Waiting”, the latest track by melodic techno artist R.EK, addresses this ambiguous, hard to define emotional state. The staggering, driving bass line represents frustration; the catchy chord progression depicts despair. And every now and then, hope still shimmers through. 
In this instance, all the waiting wasn’t in vain. It was the seed for an infectious track that will resonate in your ears for a while.

About KNOTEN
Under the umbrella of KNOTEN, R.EK is currently developing a new live performance concept that attempts to reinvent the communication between the artist and the audience by adding innovative visuals to the show. The new track will be released under KnotenMusic, which was launched as part of the KNOTEN project.

GNTN - Solstice

The title track rolls forward like a wave, lives on the frenetic atmosphere underlined by a slightly darker synth, and a delicate voice, which is interrupted when the beautiful strident piano conducts the tonal change. 

The second track has a pulsating, hypnotic bass line and a lovely layered melodic synth. One by one, the musical layers are added as a majestic soundscape develops as the tension continues to rise throughout the track until you discover the beautiful theme of continuous harmonized evolutions.
