Hitting multiple milestones with his "One Side of the Underground" series, Rick Pier O'Neil returns with a fourth volume that includes three originals and remixes from UK and Greek mainstays.

A celebrated trio responsible for a host of high-profile releases on an array of labels including their own Kunai Records and Mistique Music imprints, "The Sinner" sees Rick Pier O'Neil and Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic join forces on a deep and dark progressive offering that revels in rolling bass groove and driving rhythm. A rich array of melodic layers evolve effortlessly through the piece, swimming across the left-right spectrum as breathy vocal phrases juxtapose against an overdriven bass motif with sinister authority. "Votan" continues the driving beat of the opener adding intricate percussive cadence and hypnotic bassline power. White-noise washes add a sense of space before of reverb-laden and delay-drenched motif joins a swathe of textured pads. Pitch-bent analogue bass notes add further intrigue in the breakdown and third movement to devasting effect in a wonderfully atmospheric track. The immediate dancefloor rhythms of "Ixchel" provide the perfect framework for light and airy melodic phrases to sweep across the mid-range with ease. Coupled to a smooth and free-flowing lead line and syncopated arpeggio, the track is a cleverly orchestrated piece of sonic craftsmanship.

A regular on Proton Music with a raft of original music including 2017's full-length album, "In the Ether", James Monro has been dining at underground dance music's top table for many years. 2013's "Fonik", 2015's "Nectar" and January 2020's "Drift" EP have all highlighted Monro's remarkable attention to detail and devastating dancefloor power, honed from decades spent behind the decks at clubs and festivals across the globe. Returning to the label after February's remix of Subconscious Tales, James Monro has taken "Manipulation" on an extraordinary progressive breaks trip that acts as a time-machine to the halcyon days of the genre with its pulsating and rasping bassline and symphonic landscape that delights with texture, energy and emotion in abundance. Cleverly reinterpreting O'Neil's original, James Monro has succeeded in reinventing a sound that will resonate with a huge range of listeners through its stuttered breakbeat rhythms, raw power and melodic intrigue.

Savvas is another artist requiring little introduction to the Proton Music and Particles faithful. The Chicago born, Greek based artist has featured regularly on the latter since August 2017's remix of Michael A, before September 2019's "Mindfulness" EP saw a pair of originals accompanied by remixes from Imran Khan and Izzet. A single remix of Erdi Irmak's "Nothing Lasts" represents the Savvas contribution to Proton Music as he now follows up with a smooth and hypnotic reinterpretation of "Earth Mover". A framework of grooved bassline and ticking percussive groove combine effortlessly with O'Neil's original elements before a glassy and delayed arpeggiated motif ripples across the 9-minute track. Building through layers of counterpoint melody and sumptuous effects, the result is a brilliantly contemplative remix.

HANNES WIEHAGER & CHAUM Lost Planet

001 lost planet
002 lost planet anakim remix
003 lost planet th;en remix
004 lost planet aman anand remix

A "Lost Planet" beckons as Hannes Wiehager and Chaum answer the call. Powerful emotion rises over Scandinavia travelling to the cradle of Western civilisation where driving rhythms and haunting vocals capture a powerful mood. Twinkling arpeggios and powerful bassline hit their mark, rising through a clear blue sky into the stratosphere.

A sinister edge pervades across a new world of sound. Acetylene torch leads cut through a powerful rhythmic force. Anakim provides a new vision from the city of angels that criss-crosses the audible spectrum in glittering sonic shards. German power is harnessed via the currents of melody that flow down the Rhine. Th;en provides the discovery of 'a lost planet' that finds its origins in familiar vocal refrains. Harmonic chords like slivers of ice showcase a new sonic architecture before the sultry rhythms of Aman Anand provide oriental flavours to a European world. Rhythmic complexity grows in new patterns of vocal phrases as bassline dominance creates a thundering force that emanates from another lost planet.

SIMOS TAGIAS The Rise

001 the rise
002 the rise gmj & matter remix
003 the rise EANP remix
004 the rise barbour remix

Greek wisdom ripples across Lake Kerkini to recognise "The Rise" of Simos Tagias. Melodic shards resonate through the cool mountain air and jagged rhythmic backdrop juts out among the rocky outcrop. Brilliant sonic colour emanates from Australian gems as GMJ and Matter return to familiar European waters. A bassline firmly anchored in the bedrock provides a foundation for rippling arpeggios and twinkling keys to reverberate across the valley in endless waves.

Argentina mines another successful partnership in the form of EANP. Soaring skywards, "The Rise" hits new heights where familiar patterns are fused into fresh sonic formations that stretch out in pulsating configurations. A newcomer clicks into gear with popping percussive framework as another alley debutant combines innovation with craftsmanship. Organic sounds are sculpted into imaginative electronic waveforms as new melodic sequences and glissando bassline are bent to impressive Australian will via Barbour.

"The Rise" of sound both silent and high, forged from earth and air.

Italian born but firmly ensconced in adopted Argentinean homeland, Andrea Cassino is an iconic figure in the underground dance movement with a glowing career that has seen over a century of credits in solo and collaborative guise for Proton Music, Lowbit and Balkan Connection. Making his Meanwhile debut, Andrea Cassino takes “Microclimate” on a typically impressive journey of driving mesmeric bass groove and syncopated percussion with its roots in the Australian duo’s work. Making intelligent use of original components, melodies hypnotise and new production material from the Cassino arsenal drifts across proceedings and into an unencumbered breakdown. Dropping back into the extended groove in the second half after a ‘hands in the air’ white-noise riser, the Italian has created another club floor-filler.

Clubsonica Records begins 2021 by welcoming Antrim back to the label for a new single. The Cordoba resident and Or Two Strangers boss continues to be a favourite of progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while laying claim to releases on Sudbeat Music and Hope Recordings. A prolific 2020 saw Antrim collaborate with fellow progressive music stars Interaxxis and Alex O'Rion, for releases on Cid Inc's Replug Records and Roger Martinez's Higher States, along with a solo outing for Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank Records and his chart topping Or Two Strangers vehicle 'Black Night'. Now starting the new year in style, Antrim returns to Clubsonica with 'Hoffnung', alongside remixes from Shai T and Rauschhaus.

Although best known for his progressive minded productions, Antrim often finds himself in the creative space between organic and progressive house. Such is the case with 'Hoffnung' which plays out over seven enchanting minutes. A narrative of warm swells and choir-like pads layer voluptuous bass lines and organic drums. Acting as a thematic core, the centrepiece showcases fluttery synth concepts; charming in design while moving fluidly across a radiant underbelly, as wispy effects and a rush of drums smoothly segues into a heavenly finale.

The first interpretation of 'Hoffnung' is provided by Shai T who makes his label debut. The Israeli artist has been riding a wave of success through the landscape of organic house. From his Tel Aviv studio, Shai's exquisite musical creations have found a home on the genre's most esteemed imprints, such as All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Do Not Sit On The Furniture, Lost Miracle and TRYBESof. Now as a regular in the Organic House Beatport Top 10, Shai makes his much anticipated Clubsonica debut with a gorgeous take on 'Hoffnung'. Always a creative remixer, the Israeli artist expands on the emotive qualities of the original with a truly breathtaking production. Full, warm and undeniably organic; its buoyant low end, airy vocal phrasing and exotic percussion work in perfect sonic unison. An expansive centrepiece is highlighted by aquatic cascades and soaring strings, tastefully elevating mood with their elegant musicality, as the groove drops for a blissful final movement.

The second and final interpretation of 'Hoffnung is provided by Rauschhaus who makes his label debut. The German producer has been a highly regarded figure of the melodic house underground for the last two years, having showcased his music on Beatfreak Recordings, Eleatics Records, Einmusika, Timeless Moment and Stil Vor Talent. Now making a welcome debut on Clubsonica, Rauschhaus rounds out the release with a powerful rendition of 'Hoffnung'. The groove gets reworked into something a bit chunkier while a complement of tranquil arps, misty atmospheres and detailed percussion fill in the framework. Musically less pronounced, the German artist opts for a sleeker yet equally powerful approach, building tension subtly across the final break though luminous sonics and timely modulation, before smoothly segueing into an uplifting finale. Groovy and emotive in equal measure it not only makes for an auspicious label debut for Rauschhaus, but caps off a stunning first release of the year for Clubsonica.
