Wrocław, that was awesome! Such an incredible time making my Polish debut, joining none other than Nox Vahn on his 'When I'm With You' world tour back in June. Here is the second half of the set, featuring tracks from the likes of Enamour, Gui Barone, Jamie Stevens and more. It was a great pleasure to head over to Wroclaw, both to perform and explore the beautiful city and I can't wait to be back. A special thanks to Nox Vahn, Be Kolektiv, Deep In My Soul, Milo Estrello and Transformator for having me!

Much love!

Show Date: June 7th 2024

Rob Hilgen - Live at Halloween Party (California, USA)

With a slew of releases across Proton labels, Lanvary returns to Proton Music with a wonderful original offering in the shape of "Cercanias". From a trio of Particles releases between 2015-17 "Micromegas", "Penumbra" and "Leviathan" showcased Lanvary's evolving production talent. Graduating onto the flagship label, 2017's "Venus" and 2019's "Everything You Feel" followed as we welcome the Moldovan back after a 3-year hiatus. The title track is a typically bold and vibrant affair as an urgent percussive and bass groove take control, sublimely aided by ethereal pads and a shimmering motif that pans the stereo spectrum. Building into the second half, the flowing groove picks up the pace once more with gusto and aplomb. The deeper and darker vibe of "Palindrome" continues the rich bassline narrative while a deep kick and offbeat hi-hat pattern provide a metronomic tempo. Subtle effects add to the character while an array of textured pads and delayed lead are used to magical and dynamic effect in the second half. The final track is characterised by a rolling progressive house groove and head-shaking bassline pattern. A sharper lead line flits in and out in filtered phrasing as fizzing effects and counterpoint melodies add depth before a spoken vocal creates a slightly uneasy and edgy feel to proceedings.

Alex O'Rion needs little introduction to Proton fan base. From his century of early production credits on Black Hole to his gorgeous "Nostalgia" album on his own Solis Records earlier in 2024, the Dutch artist has consistently risen a high tide of success. Further work for Balance Music, Sudbeat Music and GMJ& Matter's Meanwhile has only confirmed Alex's status. A pair of remixes for Juan Deminicis in 2021 and Michael A in mid-2024 marked a high-profile entrance onto the Proton Music catalogues, as a third now sees Alex O'Rion deliver a powerful interpretation of "Cercanias". Keeping the same percussive intensity as the original, Alex's skill is to create a beautifully and masterfully produced slice of progressive heaven. With its tight and immaculate percussive groove, the use of Lanvary's original components have been transformed into vibrant and innovative new patterns with elegant melodic touches, before a powerhouse new bassline is introduced at the mid-point to drive the remix through the second half creating a cool dancefloor destroyer.

The final remix sees the legendary figure of Matias Chilano take centre stage. A veteran of some 400 production credits dating back to 2008, the Argentinean has been a staple of LuPS Records, Balkan Connection and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. A trio of remixes on Proton Music since 2019 has seen reinterpretations of Huminal, Erdi Irmak and Sebastian Sellares as Matias Chilano now returns with a fourth. Taking on "Tender", Matias has produced a trademark smooth groove that has captured the themes of the Lanvary original. Adding a host of additional production work, beautiful new and evocative melodies can be heard, revealing themselves fully at the breakdown and cascading into the second half. The spoken vocal phrase is also another reminder of the track's origins as the effects-laden treatment adds another layer of aural intrigue.

Criss-crossing the underground with another original EP of power and precision, Lanvary's "Cercanias" is further enhanced with remixes from Alex O'Rion and Matias Chilano.

«Intricate Records is something tangible and emerging from our long-term friendship and creative relations. – It is hard to imagine that someone will make an objection regarding many associable details and ideas of our creative work. The most significant part is that our preferences and tastes intricately but harmoniously amplify each other in most cases. All of us feel it. That is why the creation of a record label is a logical step for our career».

A friendship is one thing, but continuous development is vitally important. This is why the fellows decided not to take a break at the level of current achievements and grounded their own record label. «By the times someone discovers the points of coincidence with the colleagues not only in terms of business, but also creative sphere – that is always a positive experience! – Unification of musical efforts in frames of one label is our next and by no means unimportant step in creative self-fulfillment».

It is important to mention that the quad is not going to limit the newborn imprint’s catalog only with own productions. Intricate Records is also a promising platform for implementation of creative aspiration of other talented producers who feel themselves on the same wave quite often.

«Right at the moment there is no single record label which coincides with my musical taste and general conception, which I would like to see being embodied. Starting a new imprint with the fellow guys, I’m looking forward to the having the possibility of fulfilling myself as an A&R-manager and making the current musical world at least a little bit better. We are going to collaborate with our friends and associates from around the world. I certainly believe, if such projects are held with well-intentioned mood and built on relations of friendship, there are certain chances to make something special and terminative».
