A very special project comes to Colorize - this is 'X' from Matt Fax, a celebration of 10 years of Matt Fax releases!

It has been a decade since the world was graced with the first release from progressive maestro Matt Fax. The Frenchman quickly ascended the ranks of global producer / DJs, establishing himself over the course of ten years as a mainstay in the world of progressive dance music, garnering a worldwide following in the process. In that time he has released two artist albums, a host of impressive singles and remixes, taken the reins on Colorize's 'Colorscapes' compilation and toured the world from Los Angeles to Amsterdam to Tokyo.

'X' is an exceptional project marking a marvellous ten years for Matt Fax that features twenty of his favourite originals and remixes. We see classic releases on labels like Colorize, Anjunabeats, Armada and more, and remixes for renowned acts like Ferry Corsten and Lane 8. It comes to you in the format of two exemplary retrospective DJ mixes that highlight a musician who has indubitably come into his own. Also included are ten of the most sought-after unreleased IDs from Matt Fax's sets over the past decade, all of which were diligently finalized by Matt Fax over the past few months to make this release a spectacular celebration of his work.

It's been a sensational decade for Matt Fax and we can't wait to see what the next one has in store.

Luminous Beings

Nors Kode - Luminous Beings

For Love

For Love (Koelle Remix)

“No map, no doctrine.
Only the weight of feelings, bright or broken,
keeping me alive.

A coma gives you nothing back,
just an emptiness that waits to be filled.
I pour songs into it, with my brother beside me,
and let the echoes reach whoever needs them.
They’ll know. They’ll find me.

Been at this for years,
but this is the truest form yet.
A light I carry through the black.

Heavnly, even in the dark.”

Time To Die

Charlie Bosh - Runnin'

Few producers can match the meteoric rise of Kastis Torrau and as the Lithuanian producer returns to Proton Music, “Route 88” opens up with remixes from Belarusian and Dutch stars.

An artist with a 24-carat reputation plus skills and technique to match, Kastis Torrau has been at the cutting edge of underground dance music since he burst onto the scene with Donatello and Arnas D in 2011 – triumphant in the Sasha remix competition for “Cut Me Down”. A subsequent appearance on Last Night On Earth rubber-stamped Torrau’s global status as ‘rising star’, while a string of productions found their way on to Einmusika, Hope Recordings and Black Hole. A regular on Proton Music since August 2014, “Genesis” in collaboration with fellow countryman, Donatello, saw subsequent A-list remixes from Barry Jamieson and Darin Epsilon. Now returning, “Route 88” is characterised by a typically bristling bassline that drives the track relentlessly forward, wrapped around an immaculate and crisp rhythmic shell. Sublime melodic flourishes ripple across the stereo spectrum, building in the breakdown to introduce an exquisite counterpoint phrase before rhythm and bass hit hard again in the third movement.

A true star across his Belarusian home and far beyond its borders, Dmitry Molosh has seen his career skyrocket with his performances across Europe and South America in August 2019. Seeing his music feature on such illustrious labels as Replug, Sudbeat and Plattenbank, supported by such household names as Nick Warren, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo, he featured on Particles with both original and remix production work in 2014 and ’15. Making his Proton Music debut and reinventing Kastis Torrau, the Dmitry Molosh remix opens with a chest-thumping kick before reprising the bassline so central the original. Before long, a swathe of new production material appears that introduces new melodic structures and phrases that reach their zenith at the breakdown with beautiful piano notes and sumptuous pad textures. Hitting its stride in the third movement, all elements combine to create a wonderful new “Route 88”.

Always in demand with their imaginative work for the likes of EIN2, Traum and Mango Alley, Huminal’s relationship with Particles and Proton Music has seen the Dutch duo feature with a host of original music. After a debut remixing Nikko.Z in June 2015, the twin-track “Knocking on the Sky” followed before “We Dwell in the Past” arrived with a bang a year later and “Macropsia” came into view in October 2018. Always at the cutting edge of sound design, The Huminal remix is as immaculate as it is elegant with a raft of intelligent production techniques that sees “Route 88” build with trademark momentum across the seven-minute track. A filtered and gated analogue bass pattern rises and falls throughout while a gloriously produced breakdown sequence ripples with a new melodic sequence that gently pulsates. Rhythmic and melodic groove then join forces again in the second half to devastating effect.

With a beautifully smooth and powerful track, Kastis Torrau drives effortlessly along “Route 88” with remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Huminal.
