Proton Pack #275

Back for a fifth volume of his increasingly impressive "Hidden Arcadia" series. A trio of new original tracks are accompanied by remixes from Argentinean and Ukrainian debutants.

Opening "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 5", "Leaving" has a vibrant opening that revels in rich percussive top-line and hypnotic bass note and groove. A strong beat acts as an anchor for a series of free-flowing melodic motifs to entwine, producing a rich sonic tapestry that erupts post-breakdown in trademark cultural references from Irmak's Turkish homeland. Continuing the intricate percussive groove, claves, claps and hats span the stereo spectrum in "Nowhere Land" as a smooth analogue lead motif adds a touch of intrigue. Ethnic vocal cuts enter the breakdown in atmospheric and rhythmic fashion, blossoming in the latter stages alongside an angular new motif. Emerging from a traditional house pattern, an array of percussive hits sparkles across "Walls" as a chugging, rolling groove emerges through a sequenced bassline. A reverb-laden lead line coruscates across proceedings with ease to add depth while a dynamic new rhythm makes its presence felt in the second half with rapid-fire toms roll and legato siren effect.

A new name to the Proton Music artist roster, Lisandro began his production career with his "December Rain" for Flug Lab's "Flug VA Vol. 1" in January 2018. A clutch of releases has followed for such esteemed labels as Hoomidaas, Dream Culture and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas as the Argentinean now debuts on Proton Music. Reworking "Echoes in Time" originally part of "Vol. 2", the Lisandro remix retains the melodic character of the original by using the key melodic motifs central to Erdi Irmak's original and developing these with subtle new melodic flourishes at the breakdown. A strong new rhythmic framework introduces a dynamic flavour to Lisandro's interpretation in an accomplished remix.

Another new artist to Proton Music, Nopi is a modern musical phenomenon who sprung onto the underground house scene in March 2019 with "Lemanto" on Pipe & Pochet. Going onto achieve over 40 production credits in the subsequent year, the Ukrainian artist has gone on to feature on the likes of Kindisch, Nie Wieder Schlafen and When We Dip XYZ with a stunning array of original material. Making his Proton Music debut, a remix of "Nothing Lasts" from "Vol. 1" is an incredible new version that bristles with emotion and musical talent. A rolling percussive groove with shuffling hats provides the perfect backdrop for a sustained bassline to create a mesmerising backdrop. Changing the key of his remix, Nopi has developed a melancholic air that fits immaculately with Irmak's vocal phrasing, while a new coruscating string lead creates atmosphere in abundance as it swims across the left-right spectrum. Evolving throughout, new tropes emerge post-breakdown as themes from the original resonate throughout in a work of rare beauty.

New music from Erdi Irmak and remixes from Lisandro and Nopi have ensured "Hidden Arcadia" continues to reveal beautiful sonic landscapes.
