An exciting new debutant to the Proton Music roster, Dennis Liu showcases his dernis, the kid production moniker with a quartet of original tracks. As a member of the San Diego-based Inquiry Collective, the US DJ is no stranger to the limelight with his performances behind the decks and as part of an annual desert party of epic proportions. Furthermore, as a production assistant to Claude VonStroke and Dirtybird through his azb.studio, dernis, the kid has production credentials few can rival. Featuring the vocal talents of fellow Californian and vocalist, Clara Jo, "Let Me Go" sets the stage with its rhythmic prowess, marrying the vocal with a sub-bass groove and tech house beats. "Maybe" maintains momentum with a steady 4/4 rhythm, adorned by Clara Jo's layered vocals, piano melodies, and a recurring title-infused phrase that crafts a lush sonic landscape. The mood mellows with "Mend" and its laidback arpeggios, organic snare fills, and sumptuous pads, evoking a sense of tranquillity amid subtle melodic variations. "Miss Me" finds vocals weaving seamlessly through atmospheric soundscapes, complemented by a groovy bassline, and punctuated by well-placed sound effects. The resulting effect is to create a truly mesmerising auditory experience. Finally, "Questions" entrances listeners with hypnotic rhythms and glitched vocals that evolve over its near seven-minute duration, building layers of vocal cuts that form their own melody as they pitch up and down, before a dynamic bassline takes centre stage, concluding the journey with a dazzling display of tech house mastery.

A combined total of over 750 production credits for some of the finest underground dance imprints has seen Gai Barone and Luke Brancaccio at the vanguard of electronic music for well over a decade. From JOOF Recordings and Zerothree to Bedrock and Sudbeat Music plus Gai's own Afterglow imprint, the Italian / UK Axis needs little introduction. With collaborative efforts on the likes of Renaissance, Selador and Guy J's Lost & Found, Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio's Proton Music debut is a typically impressive reworking. Containing themes of "Maybe" while retaining the essence of the original's melodic character, the duo's unique production prowess is evidenced courtesy of cadenced stabs and sequenced arpeggio phrase with driving beat and shuffling hi-hat supplying top-line energy and dynamism. Using the breakdown to reveal the vocal phrasing more fully, a bassline pattern full of gravitas drops in the second half before the melodic patterns of earlier phases come to the fore to close out.

Through the "Organik" and "Sunsweat" EPs for Proton Music, Imran Khan's production credentials have never been in doubt. A series of remixes for Petar Dundov, GMJ, Dmitry Molosh and Sebastian Sellares between 2019 and 2023, have added to the UK star's portfolio as he returns with a suitably dynamic reworking of the title track. A hallmark rhythmic vehicle of heavy kick and deep groove supply the foundation for a muted arpeggio to supply hypnotic melodic variation, while vocal flourishes from Clara Jo pepper the 7-minute track. Luscious pads, sweeping effects and growling bass notes add to the aural collage with meticulous attention to detail to create yet another powerful reminder of Imran Khan's abundance of talent and technique.

A debut EP of seismic proportions from dernis, the kid featuring Clara Jo has Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio and Imran Khan helping to "Miss Me".

PREMIERE : Yahra - Inner Side feat. Aldi [Movement Limited] 
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/release/inner-side/4551739
Release date : 10/05/2024

Continuing a strong spring season, Tash’s Movement Limited welcomes Yahra to the label for his debut EP. Based in the USA, Yahra is a rising talent in the deeper realm of electronic music. With an affinity for crafting lush cinematic soundscapes, the Phoenix resident has spent the last few years honing his craft as a musician, taking creative inspiration from his love for traveling to picturesque spots around the world. First emerging in 2021 with a contribution to Re:Sound’s popular ‘Selects’ series, Yahra’s path forward would see him add 3rd Avenue, Flug Lab, Tales of Romance and The Purr to his resume, all while receiving support from world class DJs such as Eelke Kleijn, Joris Voorn and Nick Warren, amongst others. With 2024 getting underway with a pair of remix projects, Yahra now adds Movement Limited to his resume with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Inner Side’. 

Beginning with the title selection Yahra finds a perfect balance between dancefloor energy and emotive musicality. Full of uplifting qualities, the Phoenix resident expertly blends punchy kick drums and warm rolling grooves, with soulful vocal phrasing and luminous melodic motifs for a smooth rush of energy leading into the break. Further revealing his creative attitude across the interlude, Yahra expands the vocal narrative amidst waves of colour, texture and melody, before a wave of arps and wispy effects cues a strong drop and key-changing finale. 

Rounding out the release are the mesmerizing sounds of ‘Keeping the Dream Alive'. Looking to bring greater depth to this portfolio, Yahra flexes yet another side of his studio repertoire here, with a deeper hypnotic mood that feels perfectly dialed for morning play. Plush chord stabs and delicate melodic structures steal the air, resonating beautifully against layers of finely tuned percussion and icy pads, before a series of heavenly vocal wails and a serene break foreshadow a finale that is equal parts uplifting and emotive.

Anisotropic Blast (Original Mix)

French DJ and producer blue Dietrich returns to Polyptych. 

Following his debut Polyptych release "Coalesced Echoes" in 2021, which was one of the first of his production career, blue Dietrich has already traveled a bright path through such imprints as Bar 25 Music, trndmsk, Cafe De Anatolia, and others, and now comes to us again with the new release 'Dusk Flowers.'

Two original tracks are imbued with a bright organic downtempo sound with a signature melancholic vibe and atmospheric harmonies. Dr Parnassus' remix of the title track well reveals the merits of the original, and Veytik's interpretation of the B-Side track 'Lights' adds excitement and dynamics to the release.
Feel it and let's admire the dusk flowers among the lights together.
