A Particles debutant, Chris Cargo has been an influential figure in underground house for over two decades. Over 250 production credits are testament to this longevity with the UK artist seeing his music feature on the likes of Paul Thomas' UV, D-Formation's Beat Boutique and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, with a further half-century on his own If You Wait imprint. Now debuting on Particles, "Wide Eyed" is a low-slung groover that develops with easy rhythmic poise before subtle melodic overtones filter into sonic range. Luscious pads and grooved bassline add to the aural collage before a breakdown introduces a swathe of new elements that fizz to a rousing white-noise crescendo before dropping back into the gently pulsating rhythm of earlier movements. The result is a smooth and immaculate offering from the Chris Cargo studio.

Chris Domingo is another longstanding artist within the underground dance fraternity. Finding success in both solo guise and with former production partner, Mariner, the US artist has seen his music feature on a host of leading labels that include Songuara, 3rd Avenue and Stellar Fountain, while work for Particles included 2021's "Azimuth" and "Lose Control" EPs, before May 2022 saw the debut of his Domingo + moniker in collaboration with Eric Lune and "Sentimental Fool". Now returning to the label, the Domingo+ remix sees an intricate percussive top-line based on elements from "Wide Eyed" shine before a familiar bassline cadence also makes its presence felt. Introducing a new syncopated synth line adds depth and intensity to proceedings before the second half reveals a glorious and meandering synth line that provides a touch of class and emotion to the original.

Subandrio needs no introduction to the particles faithful. A renowned figure across his Sri Lankan home and far beyond its borders, his unmistakable production work has lit up a plethora of labels including Mango Alley, Perspectives Digital and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. A regular on both Proton labels, a quintet of remixes has seen him rework the likes of Andre Sobota, Juan Deminicis, Trilucid and Matter since a December 2015 Particles debut. Now returning to the label for the first time in 5 years, the Subandrio remix is a typically sumptuous affair with powerful rolling groove melded with the textured pads and melodic bed of Chris Cargo's original. Full of vibrancy and atmosphere at the breakdown, a superbly cadenced motif and rippling stepped arpeggio combine to create a memorable interpretation.

Including remixes from Subandrio and Domingo +, Chris Cargo is "Wide Eyed" with musical delight.

Juicebox Music's 72nd release welcomes two Argentinians - Nicolas Leonelli & Juan Buitrago with their collaborative 2-track EP featuring "Sword of God" & "Exlium". Relatively new with around 4 years under their production belt, both Nicolas & Juan have had their music represented by some of the finest imprints around, namely Nick Warren's 'The Soundgarden' & Mango's 'Mango Alley', earning incredible support around the world. Joining forces for their first joint effort, Nicolas Leonelli & Juan Buitrago showcased their strengths in a pair of strong groove-centric tracks with complimenting moods, "Sword of God" portraying a darker & heavier tone with a tinge of hope while "Exilium" depicts a lighter & hypnotic picture. 

Making his label debut with New Delhi (India) based newcomer - Influence. Better known to his friends and family as Tej Singh, Influence catapulted into the scene in 2021 with a barrage of high-quality productions that was hard to miss, earning him releases on MoodFreak & Mike Koglin's 'YOMO', Francesco Pico's 'Magnitude' & Fonarev's 'Digital Emotions' in such a short time-span. Influence takes on a driving approach with a reimagined mood for his remix of Nicolas Leonelli & Juan Buitrago's "Sword of God". 

After his debut 'Sahura / Ramses' EP on our imprint in 2022, Cordoba (Argentina) based Claudio Cornejo makes his return for his first remix with us. Known as one half of the mighty Analog Jungs, Claudio Cornejo's solo project allows him to express his creativity & technicality without any border. His discography boasts of associations with labels such as DJ Zombi's 'Beat Boutique', Juan Pablo Torrez' 'Clubsonica', Mango's 'Mango Alley' and Antrim's 'Or Two Strangers' to name a few. Claudio Cornejo's remix of Nicolas Leonelli & Juan Buitrago's "Exlium" pays homage to the original mood while injecting a club-focused direction.

► Release Info:

A rising Brazilian star with a growing portfolio of high-quality releases to his name, Tonaco makes his Meanwhile full EP debut with the 3-track "Disurbia / Avalon / Crackdown". Hailing from the central Brazilian state of Toncantins, famed for its cerrado, rivers and soybean plantations, Tonaco has planted his own roots within the underground dance scene with a growing list of releases to his name. From a 2019 debut on Transensations with "Vollus", a further quarter century of production credits have followed with work appearing on such leading labels as onedotsixtwo, Mango Alley and Moonlight. After first appearing on July 2022's "Meanwhile Excursions" compilation with "Sententrional", Tonaco now returns to Meanwhile with a first full solo EP. Opener "Disurbia" is a growling, rumbling affair that immediately revels in an unsettling atmosphere of effects and growing synth swells. Building easily within a sonic framework of hypnotic rhythmic energy, a smooth arpeggio brings a moment of light melodic touch at the breakdown before the huge low-end dynamism creates and a seething, head-shaking monster reminiscent of early 2000s progressive breaks. A high-energy backdrop fizzes across "Avalon" with its rapid-fire hi-hats and metronomic snare while a syncopated bassline adds groove aplenty. Entering its mid-section, an enticing and free-flowing middle eastern sounding melody lilts across the mid-range, full of mysticism and visions of desert landscapes. Hitting its stride once more in the third movement, a growling spoken vocal and driving rhythm create a mesmerising sequence towards the outro. The final track sees "Crackdown" continue the percussive narrative of earlier tracks as a hypnotising combination of tom fills and carefully placed melodic rhythms combine to create a soundscape full of vitality and brio. Building at the half-way stage with a wonderful bassline pattern, a light and airy melody then fills the sonic spectrum into a gloriously evocative breakdown of echoing keys and spatial effects, before dropping back into the smooth rolling groove of toms, hats and driving beat. Making a further name for himself with a trio of assured and immaculately produced tracks, Tonaco excels with "Disurbia / Avalon / Crackdown".

Indigo Man - Chasing Dreams [deep dip]

Eleven years have passed since Hernan Cattaneo, in collaboration with Guy Mantzur, released the Delayed Green exclusively on PlattenBank Records. The wait has been worthwhile. Hernan Cattaneo, a revered figure in underground dance music, is known for his sold-out shows, impeccable music selection, and humble, almost spiritual demeanor. Unconcerned with fame, Cattaneo is dedicated solely to sound.
This commitment is evident in his latest release, featuring the title piece Tranquilo, along with remixes by remix competition winners Adrien (AR) and Franco Giannoni. True to its name, the title track exudes a carefree and peaceful vibe, perfect for summer atmospheres. Characterized by a breakbeat rhythm and emotional bliss throughout the arrangement, it culminates in the third act. In contrast, the remixes adopt a classic four-on-the-floor rhythm, each adding unique elements while preserving the essence of the original. This release is not just a celebrated return of Hernan Cattaneo to PlattenBank. It also promotes talented remixers and showcases advanced studio skills. It’s a statement. Get it!
