An illustrious career stretching over two decades has seen Chico Shuella become one of Israel’s most respected and sought after DJs and producers. Chicola’s international DJ appearances alongside domestic residencies at “Haomann 17” and his sets played on Laurent Garnier’s radio show have been coupled with a production career that has seen successful releases on US imprints, Tommy Boy and KTA in the early, post-millennium years, and more recently Lost and Found, Plattenbank and of course here on Sudbeat.

Kicking things off, with the title track from the EP we have 'Nux Vomica', a brooding peak time winner that means business from the off. Its big bass powers along as trippy fx pave the way before the teasing drop that holds you as big synths land with long reverbs creating tension. This is solid and packs a real punch, be warned!

String forward next with 'Her Song', and its another gem to keep the energy levels at maximum. A solid groove lays the foundation, while reverbs and delays on the big synth stabs before tinkling arpeggiator adds a mystical layer, creating a magical soundscape while trippy fx add depth before culminating in a reverby chasm that leads to the big drop. A big of a monster to say the least...

Rounding off the EP we have 'Jeedo'. A melodic voyage that oozes class, with its skippy groove and cool percussion lines, this warm gem its the most restrained of the package, yet still has a serious dance floor demeanour. One for getting your crowd lost in their own musical minds...

SB083 | Chicola 'Nux Vomica' (Original Mix)

A child of the 1980s, Greek artist, Simos Tagias has seen his profile soar at an astonishing rate in recent times. Continuing this upwards trajectory, Proton Music is delighted to announce the release of a debut original EP for the label, in the shape of the twin-track, "Airlock".

Hailing from the beautiful city of Serres in northern Greece, Simos Tagias, has found himself at the vanguard of underground dance scene. Discovering a passion for dance music in the 1990s at the threshold of bold and exciting times for the genre, Simos began his first foray in the world of DJ'ing through private parties and local events. Entering the world of commercial production in late 2012, the "Voices EP" for Lynx Music set him on a path from which he would not look back. Some thirty production credits for the label have followed as a prolific career took off in spectacular fashion.

Over the past three years, almost a triple century of production credits can be found next to the Simos Tagias name, as Stellar Fountain, Balkan Connection and Silk Angel Recordings have played host to his work. Furthermore, an appearance on the "Sudbeats 3" compilation with Michael and Levan and Stiven Rivic, with the track "Vega", for the Hernan Cattaneo owned label, was a notable career high point. In tandem with a blossoming production career, DJ appearances across Europe have begun to accelerate with performances alongside Guy J, Luis Junior and Scotty.A.

The successful monthly "Omega" show on Proton Radio continues to showcase Simos' mixing skills and production talent and he has been a regular on the Particles imprint since April 2015 with an array of original and remix material. A single remix of Soulwerk in the summer of 2016 accounts for output on Proton Music thus far, so it with no considerable degree of satisfaction and excitement, that we welcome Simos Tagias and his "Airlock" EP to the label.

The title track itself opens with a blistering percussive section, ticking hi-hats and rapid-fire shakers sharing the upper frequencies with clicking claves. Evolving hypnotically, an intelligent locked groove plays it part through syncopated bass line, as a collage of intermittent effects and gated white noise pads keep interest high. Stepped melodic sequences add a touch of fashionable class to "Airlock" and the resultant effect is to produce a track in the Cid Inc. mould that it is certain to keep dance floors seething in the early hours.

Partner track, "Disco Freak" continues the deep, dark, hypnotic sentiment as a dominant beat anchors itself to urgent percussive rhythms and relentless bass groove. Developing elegantly over the course of its near-eight-minute voyage, a delicious rising effect circles the left-right spectrum, combined with breathy vocal sample, rising to a crescendo at the mid-point breakdown before launching into a huge drop. Bringing together rhythm and melody in glorious harmony for the third movement, an additional layer of melodic cadence brings further intrigue in a highly impressive and mature offering.

A brand new original offering in the shape of the "Airlock" EP has demonstrated Simos Tagias' vice like grip on the underground dance scene.

Simos Tagias - Disco Freak (Original Mix)

In February 2018, Rudy UK made his debut on Proton Music with the wonderful "Time/Spirit". Returning to the EP a trio of remixes comes courtesy of German, Polish and Dutch producers.

A nascent producer with a burgeoning career, Mio and His Flute has been making waves in the underground dance arena since early 2018. With a debut on WAYU Records in February, the six-track "Responsibilime" EP shone a spotlight on the German artist with a trio of new tracks combined with remixes from MIICHII, Fait Du Prince and Pandhora creating an outstanding package. As Mio and His Flute now debuts on Particles with a sparkling rework of "Spirit", the melodic foundations of the original are encased in a crisp new percussive shell that uses the wonderful motifs of Rudy's work as a launching pad to create a raft of new production material that lifts his remix. A sublime new lead line perfectly complements the sonic make-up of "Spirit" while richly textured pads and a collage of intermittent sounds and effects add further to proceedings as Mio and His Flute creates a strong remix.

An artist with almost a decade's experience at the underground dance scene's top table, Pysh hit the headlines in 2009 as competition winner for Booka Shade's "Regenerate" remix. Over a double century of production credits later and a 2014 full-length vinyl album for iconic German label, Einmusika, and Pysh's career has sky-rocketed in impressive fashion. With his music signed to such blue-chip imprints as Steyoyoke, Traum and Manjumasi, plus global DJ performances alongside Josh Wink, Robert Babicz and Nicole Moudaber, it is an honour to welcome the Polish produce as a Particles debutant. Remixing "Spirit", Pysh takes a heavy beat and chunky groove to form a strong foundation from which to create a rich new interpretation of the original. Evolving elegantly, a symphony of strings and analogue synth lines reinterpret Rudy UK's work, rising and falling with verve and vivacity to create an exciting new interpretation tinged with a backdrop of psychedelic acid groove.

An accomplished DJ with performances in Panama, Mexico City and across his Amsterdam hometown, Daraspa's career has continued to blossom after a November 2013 debut for Sound Avenue, supported by the global DJ elite that includes John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Chris Fortier. Since then, a century of production credits has graced the finest imprints as Daraspa has seen his work signed to such leading names as Stellar Fountain, Forward Music and Dear Deer White. It is therefore a pleasure to welcome Daraspa to Particles with a trademark dancefloor gem. Cleverly reworking the original, a deep kick and intricate percussive groove interact beautifully with the arpeggio sequence so fundamental to "Sea Change". Using a raft of additional production material to impressive effect, a rasping bass note hits hard while an analogue arpeggio coruscates across the mid-range, reaching its zenith at the breakdown. The resultant work is a joy to behold.

With a trio of new remixes there is still plenty of 'time' to infuse Rudy UK's EP with new 'spirit'.

Coming from one of the finest pioneering electronic music acts of the past two decades, their excitedly awaited ‘Understanding EP’ does not disappoint.

Milanese duo Hunter/Game make their well-deserving return to Last Night On Earth with a four-track EP of tasteful depth, packed with their refined productions that span a range of styles and moods.

Title track ‘Lost’ is a slow-building progression that gives the haunting female vocals an impressive space to explore. Growing drum loops stack across a driving bassline as the sonic landscape develops and introduces the EP beautifully. ‘The Island’ is a sturdy groove, progressing around a percussive synth and organic drum selections. Featuring whispering spoken word, and space-age synth FX.

‘Somewhere’ creates a sense of space from their carefully hand-picked sounds. A pulsating synth bass tracks through gated vocal effects and subtle, advancing arpeggios. ‘Dial’ closes proceedings with subdued tribal drums and blissful plucking synth melodies. Restrained drops follow big builds to create a very innovative sounding masterpiece.
