Released in July 2019, James Monro hit the heights with his four-track "Ascension" EP. Now receiving remixes from Canadian and Belarusian stars, "Drift" takes centre stage.

A producer whose honesty, integrity and talent are renowned throughout the underground dance industry, Tim Penner's reputation continues to grow apace. Able to cast a spell over audiences with his immaculate DJ sets, his live performances in support of his "Radio Silence" album for JOOF Recordings in late 2018 and early 2019 saw Penner cement his pre-eminent status. Able to cross-genres with consummate skill and ease, his work for the likes of Black Hole, Perspectives Digital and Gai Barone's Afterglow has seen a double-century of production credits flow from the Canadian's fingertips in mesmerising fashion. Moreover, his own Slideways imprint has been a popular vehicle for Penner's own material while acting as a proving ground for a wealth of undiscovered and emerging talents.

A long-time contributor to Proton Music, February 2013 saw a debut remixing Apologist's "Natural Instinct" while three original EPs since October 2013 found Penner at his creative best, not least in March 2017's "Lost Again". Returning to the label for the first time in two-and-a-half years, the Tim Penner remix takes "Drift" on a coruscating journey of melodic intrigue that sparkles with immaculate production technique and minute attention to detail. Making intelligent use of the themes inherent in Monro's original, Penner extends their scope with a swathe of textured pads and swirling, modulated phrases that reach their zenith in a rousing crescendo. A vocal cut hypnotises in gloriously frozen delays while a pounding beat and trademark rolling groove provide the foundations for a hugely impressive return to Proton Music form.

Mikahil Akulich need little introduction to Proton followers. Through his Michael A pseudonym, the Belarusian has continued to forge a path that has seen him rise to the upper echelons of the underground dance fraternity with his prolific and powerful work. Indeed, over a staggering 800 production credits sit proudly against the Michael A name in a seven-year career that began with the "DJs Came Down From Mars" for Stereofaza in March 2012. Since then, Michael has found his work allied to such leading imprints as Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital, Cid Inc.'s Replug and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat, with support from the likes of Guy J, Nick Warren and Cattaneo himself.

A regular on Particles and Proton Music, four further original EPs have graced the latter since February 2017's "Bright Hope" debut, culminating in May 2019's "Geometria" which included remixes from Juan Deminicis and Carlo Whale. Remixes of Dousk, Rauschhaus and James Warren in the past eighteen months have cemented a concrete reputation and it is a privilege to welcome back Michael A with a spellbinding interpretation of "Drift" that revels in a slightly more uptempo character than the original, while melodic flourishes from Monro's work echo throughout the seven-and-a-half minute track. A gloriously sustained and emotive bassline marks a spine-tingling breakdown while a raft of additional motifs and production material extend "Drift" in new and exciting directions.

Remixes from Tim Penner and Michael A sees James Monro "Drift" into the fast lane.

Across darkened velvet skies, "Almesian" burns brightly through the music of Golan Zocher and Greenage. Above South American and Indian continents complex constellations of sound are reflected in intricate percussive rhythms and galloping bassline. Stratified pads and filtered arpeggios glitter in deep reverberating space before "Alhena" appears. Evolving out of the same sonic matrix, a swirling and dense soundscape emerges in the night sky. A new energy formed from infinitely delayed synth lines and ethereal vocal phrases fly above seismic bassline and ticking rhythms.

Familiar melodies emerge across Gemini constellation as a new star is born. Bluum provides an unrivalled display of energy and emotion as "Alhena" charts a new course from the UK. Redolent in rich bassline dominance, new motifs provide elemental dynamism and explosive power. South America is once again the focus of attention where sultry rhythms emerge above Antrim's Cordoba. Exquisite sounds reveal themselves through ambient atmospheres and interwoven particles of noise that coalesce into new motifs and tropes; "Alhena" creates a new paradigm shift.

Third Project - Surface [SkyTop]

For the 81st release on Perspectives Digital, Darin Epsilon's renowned imprint brings together 7 talented artists from 5 continents for "Perspectives Around The World, Vol. 3". The 3rd global voyage of the popular series features (in alphabetical order) Amir Telem, Austin Leeds and Danko Skystöne, Deltium, ETCH and BetterDaze, and Sam Hopgood.

A successful Israeli newcomer, Amir Telem has quickly found success with his music on such celebrated imprints as Kindisch, Movement Recordings, and ICONYC. Making his Perspectives Digital debut, "The Gopi's Song of Separation" is a dark and pensive affair that revels in a rapid-fire bassline groove. Twinkling arpeggios ripple across the midrange as counterpoint motifs and soft vocal phrasing provide intrigue in a stripped-back breakdown that paves the way for a powerful second half to explode into life with dynamic club floor vitality.

A contemplative offering to match the changing seasons and the autumnal colors of the northern hemisphere, "November" provides new muted tones via Austin Leeds and Danko Skystöne. The American and Australian duo reprise their successful relationship on 2019's "Day Break" and "Summer Breeze" with an immaculately crafted affair that conjures vivid sonic colors and subtle vocal phrases. The outcome is an emotive piece that delights with catchy motifs and repetitive phrases that sit elegantly against a smooth bassline and an octave-pitched arpeggio that builds into the breakdown and second half.

Spanish producer Deltium impresses with the intricate flowing lines of "Equinox". Redolent in smoothly filtered arpeggios, this well-crafted track provides rich sonic harmonies that revolve seamlessly around a central melodic theme. Waxing and waning in filtered patterns, a clicking kick and offbeat percussion ties the lighter phrasing to a smooth metronomic cadence.

Finding success on Timeless Moment and OKO Recordings, ETCH has created a unique sonic texture with a blend of Melodic, Afro, and Progressive House. As the Egyptian artist now joins forces with Russian newcomer, BetterDaze, the duo have created a dynamic and vibrant offering via "Solitaire". Full of mesmerizing melodic intensity, whip-cracking snare rolls, filtered motifs, and white noise risers, the result is a strong and immaculately crafted affair likely to set crowds on fire well into 2021.

Up and coming Australian producer Sam Hopgood is a welcome addition to the Perspectives Digital roster after releases on Lauter, Natura Viva, and Particles. Hitting its stride with immediate impact, Sam reveals a shimmering gem with "Spectre". An arpeggiated pattern sets the tone as its detuned phrasing adds attitude and sonic variation. A delicate piano motif at the three-quarter mark breakdown is the perfect juxtaposition for the hypnotizing arpeggio, while a heavy kick, simple offbeat hi-hats, and atmospheric woodblock percussion are the perfect rhythmic backdrop.

Perspectives Around The World, Vol. 3 feat. Amir Telem, Austin Leeds & Danko Skystöne, Deltium, ETCH & BetterDaze, and Sam Hopgood.
