Around Us - Undiscovered Times

Label: @delightsEarthly
Artist: @donniemusic

Premiere: Don Son - Onyx (Original Mix) [Earthly Delights]

Label: @endangeredbk
Artist: @mirid_a

“Cross My Mind” is a cluster of dark melodic techno sounds, water-like percussive elements, and a female vocal sample that adds a striking contrast. Delicate melodic synths, subtle guitar plucks, and a trippy use of effects combine to make the closer a profound package of stripped-back techno deepness.

Premiere: Mirida - Cross My Mind [Endangered]

Back in November 2014, Scotty.A hit the Proton Music headlines once again as "Tomorrow" shone a light into the UK producer's musical soul. A remix EP followed as Addex and Frank Maris took the reins and now "Tomorrow" returns for a third outing, reworked by a techno legend and a multi-talented San Francisco icon.

Oliver Lieb requires little introduction to both the Proton cognoscenti and the wider music-loving masses. A German of prodigious talent and multiple personas that have taken the trance and techno scenes by storm over a 25 year period, his work under the Force Legato, L.S.G. and Oliver Lieb production pseudonyms have never ceased to provide success, recognition and respect.

Remixes for Moby, Faithless and Human League have seen Lieb scale lofty heights few can equal, bringing kudos and credibility to all that he touches. With work signed to such celebrated imprints as Platipus, Yoshitoshi and Hooj Choons, Lieb's own Maschine and Solieb labels have also provided a hallmark of sustained quality.

A regular on Proton Music over the past eighteen months, 2014's "Dark Energy" EP provided techno mastery before a set of remixes included Silinder, Tim Penner and Scotty.A himself. 2015's "VY Canis Majoris" has continued Lieb's immaculate original production material with a number of remixes set to follow during the rest of the year. Now tackling his first remix for Proton, Oliver Lieb's rework of "Chapter's End" is full of the majesty and production mastery for which he is famous. Intricate layers of percussive groove and rhythm drive forwards with unrelenting intensity, backed by an intelligent reinvention of the Scotty.A's melodic components. Gated synth elements provide rhythmic synchronicity combined with Lieb's own production work to create a remix with an impressive story to tell.

San Francisco based Mark Slee is another DJ and producer with a host of skills and talents to his name. A regular number one ranked DJ on Proton Radio with his Heron Sound show; Slee is an iconic figure in his San Francisco hometown both as DJ in a variety of local clubs and bars, and as a promoter and event organiser. Furthermore, Mark Slee's technical prowess has seen his lighting software deployed at globally renowned festivals, "Burning Man" and "Coachella".

A production portfolio that has seen a raft of original productions for Jondi and Spesh's Looq imprint, Mark Slee's sound has made a significant impact on the deep house community with such offerings as the "Sunday Trails" and "Surface Tension" EPs. Now making his debut for Proton Music, Mark Slee's "Space Jazz Improvisation" provides a unique interpretation of "Next Chapter". A smooth rhythmic bed layered with deep house chords opens proceedings with hi-hats to the fore, before a meandering freeform melodic interpretation wends its way atop in glorious carefree abandon. Breaking from the norm in impressive style, Mark Slee's work deserves immediate attention.

Two new remixes from two iconic figures sees Scotty.A still staring brightly into "Tomorrow".

Kiku is here, the next various artist album on Oleeva. Featuring label mainstays such as Daniel van der Zwaag, Didacte and Sam Goku whilst also providing a spotlight and platform for newly discovered debutants such as Alec Robertson and 3 S. The release is a testament to the diversity and originality of these artists and the sounds they’re capable of creating. A colorful, cohesive, aural trip that spans the spectrum of electronica, house and techno. 26 tracks for you to live with and get to know over the coming months.

Daniel van der Zwaags' mysterious remix of Didacte - Saturn's Secret has been hiding patiently for years, waiting to the right time to be released. The 9 minute trip is classic Zwaag, loaded with careful details, precise chords and soaring pads that are cinematic and hopeful one minute but restrained and patient the next.
