Artist Biography:

EddiBell is the music project of Norwegian producer, Torstein Horgmo, focused on the nature-inspired and organic subset of downtempo and electronic music.

An artist with a rich back catalogue to his name over a 15-year period, Luke Mandala is a
welcome Proton Music debutant with his twin-track, “The Wind People”. Combining live wind
instruments and percussion in his production portfolio, Luke Mandala has been a powerhouse
creative force with music on Desert Hearts Records, Digital Structures and Dave Seaman’s
Selador. Opener “Eagle Song” is a pulsating progressive treasure that
glitters with a beautiful melodic flow. Hitting its dancefloor straps with a strong bassline groove,
the juxtaposition of ethereal synth phrasing and fizzing hi-hats creates a dynamic piece that
reaches a scintillating zenith in the third movement. A slightly darker offering, driven by strong
kick and intricate rolling groove, “Gorgeous Darkness” retains the soft melodic motifs of its
counterpart, particularly at the beatless breakdown. Either side, a dynamic bassline sequence
creates a vibrant energy that comes to the fore with a growling, filtered variation in the second
half that sits perfectly with the arpeggiated melody woven into the delicate sonic mosaic.

Dance music royalty and a true pioneer of the underground house scene, Nick Muir has become
a firm favourite with the Proton faithful since first remixing Rick Pier O’Neil in late 2019. Since
then, the Bedrock co-founder has lit up the label with further reworkings of Eric Lune and
Sebastian Sellares. Moreover, his “All One Word” EP in mind-2023 showcased an original track
of 24-carat gold that saw standout remixes from GMJ & Matter and Trilucid. Returning for a
fourth remix, the Nick Muir interpretation of “Eagle Song” is a potent demonstration of the iconic
star’s long association with dance music. A classic old-school house vibe is married with cutting-
edge production techniques as familiar refrains shimmer across the piece, not least in the arpeggiated motif integral to the original. Intelligently integrating a timeless house piano phrase
at the mid-point, it develops with typical brio into the second half with a cascading brilliance and
powerful vibrancy.

The final remix sees newcomer, dernis, the kid makes his Proton Music debut. An artist with the
production credentials to rival any modern producer, the US star has been a mainstay in Claude
VonStroke’s DIRTYBIRD studio as well being part of the San Diego-based event group
responsible for an annual desert party of epic proportions. Also releasing through his own AZB
Studios imprint, the dernis, the kid reworking is built around a huge sub-bass groove and ticking
percussive top-line. Cleverly reimagining the melodic elements from “Gorgeous Darkness”,
immaculate production skills are in full evidence as wonderful layers of original sound are
introduced. Culminating in a beautifully crafted and free-flowing piano refrain, it gently
permeates the rasping, gritty bassline groove to create a dance-friendly framework. The result is
an outstanding debut from a US producer at the top of his game.

Blowing up a storm, Luke Mandala has built a strong community with “The Wind People” that
includes contributions from Nick Muir and dernis, the kid.

Luke’s dynamic live act includes playing a mixture of electronic and acoustic music while mixing in multiple live wind instruments and live drumming. His lifelong devotion to community dance medicine started at age 14 in 1998 when he started to DJ at northwest USA raveriffic events! He then started touring the world and releasing hundreds of songs released with a large number of the biggest labels in the world like Selador, Desert Hearts, Digital Structures, Dreaming Awake, Desert Trax, Booka Shade Music. 

This is deep piscean scorpio music, sprinkled with unusual sounds, unexpected twists, eclectic mix of global sounds, various tempos and grooves. It reflects stories of love-driven culture and open-minded ideas.  Depending on the crowd, the sets can vary from being pretty and uplifting to deep, dark, and primal, although they typically feature melodic and atmospheric textures infused with a lot of emotion.  Luke also has a functional (natural, root cause) medicine practice as this weaves so beautiful with dance and music medicine. He helps people heal frequent issues of the gut, metabolism and tiredness. 

Luke’s songs have been played by legends like Sasha, James Zabiela, Boris Brejcha, Solomon, Desert Dwellers, Dave Seaman, Kaya Project, and BLOND:ISH. Official remixes from artists like Desert Dwellers, Bluetech, Christian Martin, Chloe Harris, Kaminanda, Govinda, Roger Martinez, Pezzner, Robert Babicz, and Deya Dova.
