After first appearing on the label earlier this year with a contribution to Correlation Vol. 8, and more recently presenting an EP on our Crossfade Sounds sublabel, Aeikus now delivers a full four-track collection titled Day With You.

Built around deep techno foundations with subtle dub techno inflections, the EP reflects Aeikus' matured and evolving sound, shaped by more than a decade of experience. His productions carry a strong sense of identity, balancing modern textures with classic roots. Beyond Sound Avenue, Athos has also released on Pedro Capelossi's Refraction Records, Mixcult Digital, Hoomidas, and many more, steadily carving his place in the global underground.

It was an infatuation with electronic music from a young age that sparked the beginning of Nick Berry’s DJ career in the Sydney scene back in 2014.

Since then, Berry has made a name for himself through his acute deviation from what is expected, playing uniquely melodic music punctuated by an eclectic mix of deep house and techno - influenced by the 90’s rave and progressive trance era. Fast forward to present day and Nick Berry has shared lineups with DJ Koze, Oliver Koletzki, Andhim, and Gerd Janson to name a few.

Berlin’s live-electronic visionaries GHEIST join forces with Ukraine’s melodic house prodigy 8Kays for Flowers & Guns, a collaboration that blurs the lines between indie dance and progressive house. Following GHEIST’s Searching Places EP, which drew acclaim for its original tracks and remixes from Mark Hoffen, Oliver Koletzki, and Unfazed, this partnership marks a new chapter of artistic synergy.

"This track is the most special one for me so far," shares 8Kays. "It was born from hearing a spectacular and profound idea from GHEIST, which immediately inspired me to start working on it, incorporating a live piano performance and the arrangement I wanted to embrace with the sound I produced. Later, GHEIST shaped the project into the final version we hear today: a tender and emotionally deep piece of music that I am truly grateful to be part of."

Flowers & Guns merges GHEIST’s textured, dramaturgically rich electronic approach with 8Kays’ signature melodic depth and eloborate arrangements, weaving shimmering synths, rounded basslines, and live piano into a soundscape both expansive and intimate. Each artist’s hallmark - GHEIST’s cinematic layering and tension-driven structures, and 8Kays’ emotive, harmonically adventurous touch, interlocks seamlessly, creating a track where every rhythm, chord, and crescendo feels deliberate and deeply expressive.

Lyrically, the song is both bold and poetic, with lines like “Hand me a bullet / I bring you flowers and the sun” blending raw intensity with vivid imagery. The result is a track that captivates both the dancefloor and reflective listening sessions, equally at home in euphoric club moments, late-summer farewells, or personal playlists that demand emotional depth.

With Flowers & Guns, GHEIST and 8Kays demonstrate how collaboration can transform individual vision into something greater: an electronic anthem that is as heartfelt as it is electrifying.

PREMIERE: Beyond The Struttosphere - Silver Hawk (Phunkadelica Remix) [Roam Recordings]

In the early part of 2017, Dutch super-producer, Roger Martinez, graced the Proton Music catalogues with the deep rich grooves of his "Dream State" EP. As we now return to Martinez's twin-track offering, a pair of remixes from Ukrainian and UK talents provides new sustenance.

Consistently managing to make his mark within the underground dance industry, Stas Drive has remained at the forefront of both Ukraine and Russia's electronic music scene. A highly-regarded DJ, producer and promoter, his performances behind the decks at the likes of the famous Kazantip festival, have earned Stas a strong reputation across continental Europe. Production talent has shone in tandem with work in the live arena and a double century of credits tell their own story about the success of the Stas Drive sound. An appearance on Nick Warren's ground-breaking "The Soundgarden" in June 2014 with the beautiful "Arujna", coupled with a remix of Navid Mehr for Sudbeat in January 2015, have been notable career highlights as Stas has seen his music supported by a DJ elite that includes, Cattaneo, Sasha and Digweed. Furthermore, Stas has become a regular on the uber-cool Chapter 24 Records imprint with several high-profile releases planned throughout the remainder of 2017.

A pair of remixes of Scotty.A and Navar in 2015 and 2016 have illuminated the Stas Drive production talent thus far and it is a delight to welcome him back to Proton Music for a third time with an impeccable reworking of Roger Martinez. Taking a fresh, new approach to "Deep", the Stas Drive remix is full of hallmark rhythmic subtlety and melodic variation. Underpinned by a throbbing bass groove and sinister edge, melodic effects pepper the mid-range frequencies alongside textured pads and a modulated ambient bed that creates an eerie atmosphere. The result is an impressive and innovative rework with clever use of Martinez's original components.

UK born and Austrian based, Dan Baseley is a name that has discovered a rising tide of success with his Orsen soubriquet since a 2014 debut for Optimized Recordings. An artist with a unique approach to his craft, his vision flows through a "love for multiple styles of electronic music, unusual field recordings and sound design". With such attention to detail, Orsen's magnetic field has attracted support from fans and peers across the globe with his music played by such luminaries as Nick Warren, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo. The "Komorebi" EP for the latter's Sudbeat imprint in early 2016 highlighted this exalted position, as has work for Perspectives Digital, 3rd Avenue and Replug. Furthermore, Orsen's duties as label manager for the Cid Inc. owned imprint have seen his own work blossom and mature on the label.

A regular on Particles with his sound encapsulated by the "Elysium" EP in June 2015, Orsen's two remixes for Proton Music have opened up his distinctive sound to an ever-expanding audience. Reinterpretations of Mondkrater and Luc Angenehm are now complemented by a third which sees Orsen take a typically creative path in his reimagining of Roger Martinez's title track. A wonderful, stepped analogue sequence creates a flowing groove for a percussive section, redolent in layered off-beat claps, to nestle alongside strong beat and ticking hi-hats. Building effortlessly through a stripped back breakdown of aural creativity, the third movement once again picks up the rhythmic movement with the addition of a sublime delayed melody and Orsen's imaginative additional production material.

Remixes from Stas Drive and Orsen have seen Roger Martinez enter a new realm of consciousness within his "Dream State".

An artist consistently at the summit of the electronic dance scene from his Israeli home, Matan Caspi has continued to develop a growing fan base paralleled with platinum support. Bringing these talents to Particles, we are delighted to welcome Matan back to the label with a debut original EP in the shape of "Undersound".

Always highly sought after in his production work, the turn of the decade provided Caspi with the breakthrough that saw him become one of the industry's global stars. DJ performances in a two-year period between 2010 and 2012 saw him visit over twenty countries, captivating audiences with his "diverse spectrum of musical styles". A hard-earned production career has run in tandem with an ever-increasing number of live performances and more than a thousand production credits flowing from Matan's fingertips since early work for the likes of Enormous Tunes and Unreleased Digital in 2009.

Since then, a prolific output has provided a slew of best-selling tracks in a variety of genres, from "groovy progressive house to tech house, techno and deep house". Thus, the distinctive Matan Caspi sound can be found on the compilations of Sander Kleinenberg and Sultan and allied to such leading labels as Pacha, Global Underground and the mighty Spinnin' Records. In addition, 2011 saw the formation of his own Outta Limits Recordings in conjunction with global icon, Stan Kolev, which has become the home for some of the industry's leading lights including, Ad Brown, Ben Coda and Dinka.

Renowned and revered, support from across the dance music spectrum, from Eric Prydz and Tiesto to Nick Warren and Joris Voorn, has seen Matan Caspi feature heavily in the sets and radio shows of the DJ glitterati. A Particles career that began in 2016 with a pair of remixes for Li-Polymer and Rick Pier O'Neil and Desaturate, is now extended with a twin-track original EP in "Undersound".

The title track is a dark, brooding affair that bristles with trademark Matan Caspi polish. A chunky rhythm and smooth, rich bass line are a perfect blend of seductive groove as an emotive melody emerges from the lower frequency. Pausing at a stripped back breakdown, a haunting and loquacious vocal line creates further atmosphere as intelligently placed plucked motifs glitter across the stereo spectrum. The resultant work oozes class and skill.

"After the Storm" continues the carefully orchestrated atmospheres and layers that accompany the Matan Caspi sound. A dominant kick, combined with hypnotic bass provide the perfect anchor for freeform melodic lines to coruscate through the mid-range, honing into full sonic view in another haunting breakdown. Vocal lines rise above the melodic sequences and the evocative offering perfectly conjures up aural images of the calm, 'after the storm', replete with birdsong and ambient effects that only enhance Caspi's sonic architecture.

A twin-track offering of impressive scope and technique has provided Matan Caspi with continued success "Undersound".

CHRISTIAN NIELSEN is a musician you would not immediately expect to see behind the SPEICHER / KOMPAKT EXTRA crest. We love to surprise your ears and have enjoyed for some time his outsider approach to any genre he chooses to tackle. In particular with “Hard Times” – a prime-time melodic monster that bridges the right transitions. Right when you need them to. 

Berlin via Belgium techno juggernaut LOCKED GROOVE has been on our radar for ages thanks to releases on HOTFLUSH and AFTERLIFE. “Dawn” is one of those magical tunes that loop along but evolves with every listen. You hold us to it that we think it could be the best set opener 2017 will have to offer. Intricate drums balance well with lush minimalistic melodies. 

Our SPEICHER series rapidly heads towards 100. Where it goes, only we know - so savour the flavour while it lasts.
