Shadows Awake

Terminal Groove

Blank Again

Award-winning DJ and producer and ever-present in the upper echelons of dance music fraternity for over 15 years, Pole Folder is an iconic figure of global renown. With DJ appearances across the globe, the classically trained musician has a unique ability to fill dance-floors with cross-genre appeal while a production portfolio tells a similar story of global appeal. Through his own Reworck imprint and an era-defining album on John Digweed's Bedrock that gave rise to countless appearances on TV and radio, further work saw the Belgian mixing the "Sudbeats II" compilation for Hernan Cattaneo's imprint. A regular on Proton Music since a 2006 debut, Pole Folder now returns after a successful remix of Michael A in December 2017. "A Glimpse Into The Past" is a glorious piece, redolent in exquisite melodies and intricately crafted percussive flair. Rippling motifs build in intensity in front of a soft and hypnotic arpeggio as sumptuous pads create a depth and texture. Hitting its stride, post-breakdown, the culmination of dominant beat and counterpoint melodic lead create a wonderful aural vision.

Joining a host of Australian talents, Retza is a name that oozes craft and quality. A successful DJ at events including Rainbow Serpent Festival and Let Them Eat Cake in his home country, appearances in Berlin and North America have rubber-stamped a growing reputation. His music signed to some of the industry's finest imprints including, All Day I Dream, Kindisch and UONE's Beat and Path, Retza's music has been supported by a host of leading names including Jamie Stevens, Lee Burridge and Kasey Taylor. Making his Proton Music debut, the Retza remix is a wonderfully created work that sensitively takes the leading elements of Pole Folder's work and sculpts them into new and vibrant directions courtesy of a stripped-back beat and ticking percussive groove. These then form the foundations for layers of counterpoint melodic motifs to fully express themselves in freeform glory across the near-nine-minute track. With its warm and complex bassline adding further depth, Retza's is a dazzlingly intelligent reworking.

Maddy Hughes is another Australian firmly making his presence felt upon a global stage through his Funkform moniker. Out of his home "in the lush tropical paradise of Cairns", he has been a regular on the Open Records imprint. From 2011's "Middleman" debut to 2017's "Synthesia", Funkform's original work has been key with additional releases for Vapour Recordings, Stellar Fountain and City Life all playing host to the trademark Funkform sound. Now debuting on Proton Music with a typically impressive reworking of Pole Folder, Hughes transforms "A Glimpse Into The Past" into a dynamic, groove-driven offering that excels with a searing lead line that cuts through his remix like a hot knife through butter. Building in intensity throughout with intricate percussive top line, beautiful piano phrasing ripples outwards at the mid-point as a series of effects and motifs create a wonderful question and answer tension that is a tribute to Pole Folder's original.

With a "Glimpse Into The Past" wonderfully represented by debuts from Retza and Funkform, Pole Folder's future glows incandescent.

Starkato lands on the veer reliable Asymmetric Recordings with 3 new cuts, and backed by a remix from John Cosani.
Starkato has released music on Sudbeat, BeatFreak, ICONYC and Movement to name just a few. His melodic and chunky sounds always cause a fuss.
The title track 'Astral' is a gritty melodious affair, with dirty synths and tinkly tones and packs a mean punch.
'Apply' is a punchier affair, with its bubbly bass and leaning towards a Berlin melodic sound, with its wobbling synths and incessant bass.
The last of the original tracks from Starkato is 'Curtis Road' is a moodier driver, energetic and charismatic.
John Cosani Remixes 'Curtis Road' to round of this package nicely. the Sudbeat fave takes things deeper, and brings a dreamier vibe to proceedings, while still keeping depth and energy throughout.

PREMIERE : Berni Turletti & Agustin Lupidi - Suyai (Original Mix) [Onedotsixtwo]

An established force in the world of underground dance, GMJ continues to combine hard work and talent with incredible results, fully illustrated in his new "Mystic Sea" EP for Proton Music.

Calling Melbourne home on the country's south-eastern coast, Gavin Griffin is a musical tour de force. Through his GMJ moniker, the Australian artist has continued to find himself at the forefront of his home city's musical scene by playing headline sets at the likes of the globally renowned "Rainbow Serpent" festival alongside fellow Melbourne resident, Matter. International performances in London and Amsterdam Dance event 2019 have continued to cement a rapidly rising reputation.

Contemporaneously, a production career has blossomed with "an innate passion for deep emotive electronic music" that has witnessed over 300 production credits in both solo and collaborative production guise for some of the finest modern imprints including: Balkan Connection, Sudbeat Music and Cid Inc.'s Replug. Moreover, the twin-track, "Emerge" EP saw GMJ combine forces with Matter and FunkForm for a debut appearance on the renowned Balance imprint in November 2019.

A regular on Particles with a host of original and remix production material, 2014's "Edge of Remembrance" and "Forgotten Wisdom" EPs opened the door into GMJ's musical soul before going on to release the "Sovereign Reality" and "Catharsis" EP on the flagship label in October 2017 and May 2019. Furthermore, the "Superposition", "Osmosis" and "Interscope" offerings between 2016 and 2019 shone a bright light on his symbiotic partnership with Matter, while a March 2018 interlude with Hungarian star, East Café, bore fruit with "22".

Now returning to Proton Music, "Mystic Sea" is an immaculately crafted title track that combines cavernous club kick with a ticking percussive top line and huge grooved bassline as a perfect foundation for opulently textured pads to rise and fall in waves of modulated and gated syncopation. Effortlessly moving forward, a richly sustained and rasping bassline progression adds further dynamism before a sublime lead line hits the foreground with spine-tingling precision at the mid-point. Extending hypnotically into the third movement, a storm of textures and rhythmic interplay create an ocean of sound.

"Another Life" continues the rich musical narrative as vocal pads ripple across the upper mid-range in lengthy pulsating delays. A chunky rhythmic framework provides ample dancefloor character alongside a subterranean bassline phrase as a sublime melodic motif gradually filters into sonic range in a breakdown of dizzying percussive effects. As hypnotic as it is beautiful the track evolves majestically over its seven-and-a-half-minute voyage.

A new twin-track EP sees the creative talents of GMJ fully set sail across the "Mystic Sea".

Tracklist:
01. Dmitry Molosh - Cascade (Original Mix)
02. Dmitry Molosh - Step by Step feat. Sasha Bartashevich (Original Dub Mix)

Release Info: 
Cid Inc’s Replug Records caps off a successful year by welcoming Dmitry Molosh back to the label for a new artist showcase. The Belarus native and progressive music favourite rounded out 2018 with his chart topping ‘Detektor’ EP for the Finnish imprint. 2019 has seen further successes, with EP’s for Guy J’s Armadillo Records and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music sitting as the highlights. Now fresh off a contribution to Nick Warren’s Balance compilation, Dmitry lands back on Replug with ‘Cascade’.

Firmly sitting amongst progressive music's elite, Dmitry continues to deliver some of the genre's most beloved tracks with 'Cascade' being the latest in a long line of gems. Fuelled by rhythm and groove; it's chunky foundation, driving percussion and buoyant rhythmic core form the backbone of this exhilarating journey. Panning effects and emerging atmopheres smoothly segue into the main break, shifting the narrative further into melodic territory. Sitting comfortably in an ethereal yet emotive space, the lead motif rises, resonating on a warm and inviting frequency, gently evolving across a foggy atmospheric backdrop, before a gentle rush sparks a thrilling final act.

The companion piece ‘Step By Step’ follows suit with an equally impressive display of rhythm and groove. Spacious and energetic, it’s a creation built around rolling bass tones and vibrant chord stabs. Ethereal phrases and buzzing effects converge as the first act unfolds, while colourful vocal fragments shift energy into the break. Timely modulation adds drama and tension across the one minute interlude, ultimately reaching a swirling crescendo and perfectly setting up a powerful third act.

Dmitry’s long standing relationship with Replug has spawned several of progressive music’s finest moments over the last half decade. ‘Cascade’ once again follows suit and looks set to be one of the winter seasons most in demand releases.

[Liner Notes]
Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Bora Uzer teamed up with Mynox and Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Vander to create "Let It Breathe". Birthed on a never-ending day of February in Turkey's dynamic city of Istanbul, this piece fuses elements of electronica, deep house, and modern pop. The lush vocals of Bora convey a certain epicurism and invite us to let go and accept life.

This EP is complemented by the alternative versions of psychedelic duo Pandhora, British talent Shunus, and Volt Milano residents Sound Shapes. Pandhora crafted a progressive & melodic reshape incorporating jazzy chords and upbeat grooves. Shunus came up with a different story, slowing things down with his downtempo sound signature and a relish of western vibes. To wrap up this release, the Italian duo Sound Shapes infused their remix with deep sounds and decided to go for a tense atmosphere which suits afterhours dancefloors perfectly.

Santo Adriano - Finding Peace in the Eye of the Storm (Original Mix)

Seven years of active production, he is definitely one of those who raised the Albanian music scene to a higher level. This is not his first appearance on our label. In 2017, he released a single in collaboration with Jorgio Kioris, entitled "Crossing The Line". Three years after Da Luka returns to the label with two new singles accompanied by fantastic remixes by Erdi Irmak and East Cafe! Definitely something that everyone who loves deep and progressive sounds, must listen to the release of "Libra"!
