The name is the game for ALMA (GER)'s 'Mind Free'. A minimalistic track with overpowering intensity, 'Mind Free's' pitch-shifting synths and sweeps gradually turn from rippling waves to massive walls of sound, crashing and breaking around the track's compact groove in a maelstrom of relentless energy.

Back to the fold with the first extract taken from his upcoming debut long-player on A Tribe Called Kotori, Fabian Krooss takes us to a delicate and transporting headspace with his twofold single, "Oh Darlin'". Infused with laid-back Chicagoan rhythms and feelgood Afro soulfulness, this opening brace of cuts from the German producer weaves solar-powered sensitivity with vaporous floor dynamics to hypnotic effect. An ode to impro and the free-flowing power of gut instinct, Krooss' newest offering translates thousands of places, feelings, moments and encounters into a buoyant melting-pot of debonair grooviness. "Producing has a meditative and balancing effect on me" Krooss says, and it definitely shines through in these, as we're taken on a seamless ride up serene moodscapes and ethereal club-ready apexes.  

A track that "captures my musical vision like no other" in Krooss' own admission, "Oh Darlin'" oozes a cross-pollinating elixir of hi-NRG house and folk-informed downtempo, gracefully threading its way in limbo between proper DJ-friendly functionality and loungey hedonism. Composed earlier this year and refined over the summer, "Oh Darlin'" stacks positive energies and beams them across the room like a vital call to channel the good vibes and move in the direction of love and unity. The second track, "Staring", recorded in collaboration with Samaha during his stay in Seattle in March 2023, engineers a nice mix of both artists' distinct melodic universes, while encapsulating memories from Krooss' journey in North America. A further balmy slice of atmospheric electronica tinged with hints of dream-pop and balearic house, "Staring" cruises at its own tranquil pace across colour-shifting horizons and gently jagged reliefs, ready to soak up full sound systems with its soothing, poetic funk. Lush as it gets.

Influenced by such diverse characters as Mark Twain and Stephan Bodzin, Alexander Shtanoprud has been at the cutting edge of the underground dance scene with his Mondkrater production soubriquet. A Proton Music regular, Alexander now returns to the imprint with a brand-new three track EP in the shape of "Binary".

Inspired by the German electronic dance music scene, the Ukrainian born artist has continually impressed since debut work for Ideological in early 2013. Before that, Shtanoprud found success with the Mode B pseudonym and releases on Mango Alley, Particles and Ryan Davis' Back Home with the 2010 "Arina" EP. Using the Mondkrater alias to represent a new sound, the name perfectly represented his specific and unique brand of "soul-floated melodic electronic dance music". Full of imperious production techniques and sound design, the Mondkrater sound evolved into a beautiful representation of Alexander's personality and musical potency.

Supported by such eminent artists as Stephan Bodzin, Barry Jamieson and Dominik Eulberg, Traumwelten, Klangwelt and Click Records have all played their part in featuring the Mondkrater sound, with the latter accounting for the outstanding "New Illusion" EP in November 2016. Furthermore, Proton Music has been responsible for helping shape the sound and development of the Mondkrater name through two high-calibre original EPs. 2015's "Mercury" and "Icarus" EPs won support and plaudits from fans and peers alike as a quartet of blue chip remixes saw Oliver Lieb, Mononoid, Huminal and Orsen continue to keep Mondkrater in the spotlight.

As Mondkrater now returns to Proton, the musical triptych that is "Binary", showcases the Ukrainian's redoubtable production talents. Opening track, "Stellar Depth" is full of brooding electronica menace. A hypnotic and eerie sequence evolves elegantly across the six-minute offering, providing a subtle and textured bed for analogue bass to fit perfectly atop as dominant kick and intelligently placed percussive sounds find their mark, not least in delayed claps. The resultant work is a menacing masterpiece.

The title track is full of percussive urgency as machine gun hats and percussion fire off a dramatic rhythmic bed in perfect synchronicity with resonant kick and cavernous bass line. A stylish riff makes its presence felt in delicate fashion as a shimmering freeform melody, full of dazzling delays, reaches its zenith in the breakdown before emerging once more with white-noise fuelled pad in the third movement.

Final track, "Limb" continues the evolution of the Mondkrater sound with its dance floor credentials and head-shaking groove, illustrated through off-beat hi hats, low-frequency kick and trademark delayed claps. Building with consummate ease via pulsating pad and emotive chord progressions, a sumptuous crystalline lead finds its voice at the mid-point, building with metronomic bass stabs that usher in a third movement that returns to scintillating rhythmic construction and melodic threat.

Three definitely goes into two as Mondkrater and his musically astute "Binary" EP put the '1s' and '0s' in all the right places.

Mr.Schug - A Better World (Daniel Jaeger Remix)

My collaboration with United Level is OUT NOW!

United Levels & Meraki - Ozelot

Anatomically speaking, “Lava Lava” grows from a sleek arrangement. But once you hit the play button the bite of the kickdrum, the seismic rumble of the bassline and the fulminant orchestral thrust of the instrumental samples work together like the cogs and gears inside a clock. Needless to say, the result is rather explosive and compelling - which goes for both the original version and the rolling big-room remix of Stephan Zovsky, who’s out on a mission to blow some minds again. And The Glitz don’t leave it at that: “Dandy Doorhole” is raising the stakes even higher. This tune exists between the perfidious boost of its bassline and the glittering showers of its open hi hats and hurls any dancefloor to the next level - a level oddly reminiscent of a spaced-out computer game. The remix comes from an old friend of 3000Grad: Mathias Kaden. This grand master of beats, bass and pressure delivers a version that is just as feverish and ecstatic, but that draws its energy from the irresistible groove that is the hallmark of this veteran producer.
