Nebular, Part 2

Lucas Rossi - Nebular

Welcoming new artists to Proton Music is always an honour and Dimuth K is no exception. With his first outing on the label, the Sri Lankan delivers his "Minesweeper / Beams Aglow" EP.

Involved in music from an early age, seeing him share the decks with Khen, Guy J and Third Son and music signed to the likes of Balkan Connection, Sudbeat Music and JOOF Recordings, Dimuth K has made a growing name for himself since a 2015 debut. Finding his music supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Marcelo Vasami and Cid Inc., the Colombo resident now opens his Proton Music account with two high-calibre originals. With a high-energy opening of running, grooved bassline and hypnotic driving beat, "Minesweeper" is a full-on aural assault of the highest order. Building in intelligent fashion with ticking shakers and filtered arpeggio, a rich chord progression provides emotion and dynamism. Reaching a crescendo at the mid-point breakdown with white-noise powered effects and risers, the driving rhythm hits its stride in the third movement to impressive effect. The more languid percussive groove and rolling beat of "Beams Aglow" paves the way for a melodic bassline phrase to play its part before textured pads add depth. Delicately delayed keys ripple in sparkling fashion, dancing in sunlit patterns, while a distinct plucked guitar phrase makes its presence felt. Always held in place by the strong club-friendly framework, the track eases into the second half with rhythm and bass in full evidence as melodic elements are reprised once again in the latter stages.

A regular on Proton Music with his immaculate original music and trademark melodic prowess, the "Hidden Arcadia" series has seen Erdi Irmak at his very best. Reaching its fourth and fifth incarnations in 2020, the series has come off the back of the sparkling "Night" EP in 2015 and the full-length "You're Either Guilty Or Not Guilty" album for Particles in 2014. Following on from an April 2019 remix of Senses Of Mind, Erdi now returns with a glorious reworking of "Beams Aglow" that captures the essence of Dimuth K's original with delicate use of the plucked guitar motif that transcends the Turkish producer's remix. Adding a smooth percussive backdrop, a freeform, flowing lead line ripples its ways across the six-minute piece while a smooth vocal line meanders gently alongside. The outcome is a cleverly worked interpretation that retains the hallmarks of Irmak's distinctive style.

Another artist that requires little in the way of introduction is Simos Tagias. With a back catalogue that includes over 300 production credits, the Greek artist has found a home on Proton Music with his "Airlock" and "Audacity" EPs lighting up the label with a distinctive musical style that has drawn worldwide admirers. Indeed, such renowned artists as Petar Dundov and GMJ were inspired to remix his most recent EP in June 2019. Now returning to Proton after a July 2019 remix of Color Ray, Simos Tagias takes "Beams Aglow" on a wonderful dancefloor journey that builds on the core elements created by Dimuth K and turns them into a storming club anthem. With an ever-involving interpretation that gently builds pace through driving percussion and head-shaking bassline, an array of new production material catapults the track into the third movement with a powerful drop and hypnotic arpeggio sequence.

Original music from Dimuth K and remixes from Erdi Irmak and Simos Tagias see "Minesweeper / Beams Aglow" explode into the underground music scene.

MW005 - Luka Sambe - Alive Is The Meaning (inc. RIGOONI, Tripswitch remixes)

Earning a growing reputation with its distinctive sound and immaculate curation, Meanwhile delivers another label debutant as Luka Sambe reveals, “Alive is the Meaning”. A pair of remixes from Brazil and the UK complete a global portrait.

Michael Acuri is no stranger to the electronic music scene. Well-respected across the underground dance fraternity with his unique blend of progressive, tech and deep house, his Luka Sambe soubriquet continues to supply music of the highest quality. Indeed, releases for Guy J’s Lost & Found, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Robert Babicz’s Babiczstyle illustrate precisely why the Australian is one of the industry hottest properties counting almost 300 production credits to his name, stretching back some 7 years. Immediately compelling, Luka Sambe’s Meanwhile debut bristles with percussive energy in the opening phrases, as a heavy kick and cavernous sub-bass provide the perfect syncopated framework for a developing array of melodic textures. Building with delicate and consummate ease, “Alive is the Meaning” sees a glorious range of free-flowing melodies percolate and swirl across a 9-minute magnum opus that hypnotises with its dizzying stereo-panning and shimmering arpeggiated patterns rising to a rousing crescendo. The result is a gloriously constructed, highly original track.

Operating out of his Sao Paolo home, RIGOONI is a relative newcomer to the progressive house scene after a January 2018 debut for Digitment Records. Quickly making waves with his standout compositions, the self-taught producer found his music represented on Nick Warren’s Balance compilation via “Dreamed Numbers” in October 2019. Moreover, February 2020 saw the release of his “Serenade” EP for Warren’s The Soundgarden imprint. Supported by the likes of Nicolas Rada, Armen Miran and Hernan Cattaneo, RIGOONI’s additional work for the likes of Superordinate Music, Clinique and MNL, have shone a light on the Brazilian artist. A pounding beat juxtaposed against subtle melodic phrasing characterises the RIGOONI remix as the track moves with power and hypnotic pace. Making clever use of core themes within the Luka Sambe original, RIGOONI’s skill is take these as a starting point and extend on them through a series of new motifs and free-flowing patterns that reveal themselves at the breakdown and into an innovative third movement.

Nick Brennan is an artist who needs little in the way of an introduction to the underground dance cognoscenti. Through his Tripswitch pseudonym, the UK artist has delivered a multitude of material over a career stretching back almost two decades. A celebrated DJ with a global performance schedule and the monthly “Harmonics” show on Frisky Radio, Tripswitch’s production career has seen releases on Sudbeat, Global Underground and Bedrock. His own onedotsixtwo continues to provide a powerful vehicle for his own music alongside a host of talented others and a Meanwhile debut provides a glorious reworking of “Alive is the Meaning”. Glistening with a rich melodic sheen that has its roots in the Luka Sambe original, the remix showcases a wide-reaching gamut of production material from the Tripswitch studio. Pulsating waves of sound flow gently across the left-right spectrum. Shimmering keys twinkle alongside multi-layered pads and swells that rise and fall with ease, while a sumptuous bassline groove then adds weight and structure to a spell-binding interpretation.

Alive through sound, Luka Sambe, RIGOONI and Tripswitch have all found meaning through their immaculate production work.
