Melody Masters Exclusive III

Poli Siufi, VegaZ SL - Star's Wanderer (Original Mix)

An artist renowned for his attention to detail and magnificently equipped studio, Petar Dundov has been at the vanguard of the techno genre in all its guises and within the wider canon of Melodic and Progressive House. Already featuring on such esteemed imprints as SCI+TEC, Cocoon Recordings and Sudbeat Music, December 2020's "Salvation / Nature of Nature" EP was a glorious Proton debut. Now following up with another pair of original tracks, "Spark" is redolent in all the trademark features that make Dundov such a respected figure. Through heavy beat, rolling percussive groove and hypnotic bass phrase, sparkling synth motifs gently work across the 9-minute piece in unencumbered fashion. A stripped back breakdown adds further texture and effects before the shimmering melodic sequences take centre stage in the second half. "Day Unseen" provides immediate energy via a syncopated synth motif that provides further intrigue through open filters, modulation and note placement. A clicking, tom-infused percussive groove supplies innovation as a new melody makes its way to the fore and additional strings create a smooth counterpoint to the elements introduced in the first half.

A powerful force withing the house and techno genre movements, BLANCAh, continues to hit the sweet spot with an immaculate blend of melodic components fused to dynamic and powerful dancefloor rhythms. A debut on the renowned Steyoyoke in 2014 signalled the Brazilian's intent as a panoply of original music found its way on to the likes of Lost on You, Sprout and Renaissance Records. The latter bore witness to her debut full-length album in May 2020 with the outstanding "Arias of Sky". Making her Proton Music debut, the BLANCAh remix is a wonderful interpretation that intelligently makes use of Dundov's components while introducing an array of her own production material. The result is a stunning interpretation which bristles with vibrancy as analogue synth lines infused with white-noise, reverb and delay, ripple across the stereo spectrum with ease backed by a chest-thumping kick and elegant percussion.

Regularly seeing his music featured on the likes of Meanwhile, 3rd Avenue and Clinique with a variety of original and remix production material, Imran Khan has shone brightly through 2018's "Arrival" EP on Particles, while August 2019's "Organik" and November's "Sunsweat" EPs continued his story on Proton Music. Remixes for GMJ, Dmitry Molosh and Michael A for the latter, have continued to showcase a burgeoning talent as the UK star now works his magic on "Spark". Characterised by a hefty rhythmic groove and seismic bassline, growling synth lines swim across the stereo spectrum as delayed percussive hits and ticking hats supply hypnotic energy. Evolving with elegance, pads and effects are introduced as pitched variations on the original's central motifs bend and echo into the distance in intriguing fashion. The result is an innovative and dramatic interpretation with its roots firmly in Petar Dundov's "Spark".

A "Spark" of ingenuity sees Petar Dundov light up Proton Music once again aided by iridescent remixes from BLANCAh and Imran Khan.

Petar Dundov - Spark (BLANCAh Remix)

Their versatility in genres has expanded the boundaries of their sound, and after leaving a striking mark on the deep house scene, BiGz, Soire and Below Bangkok this time prepare for us one beautiful progressive original, titled “Potent Patterns”. For this release, on a remix duty, we have hired experienced producer Alan Cerro, as well as the Argentine duo, which has been functioning perfectly as one for some time, Maximo Gambini and Q.A.T.!

Potent Patterns

BiGz, Soire, Below Bangkok - Potent Patterns (Maximo Gambini & Q.A.T Remix)

A relative newcomer to the progressive and melodic house scene, Blanka Barbara makes her Particles debut with the twin-track "Amabie". Polish born but London based, Blanka has already carved out a growing reputation with a slew of releases on the likes of Duenia, Mango Alley and her own Rabbit Records. As comfortable behind the decks as she is making music, her monthly "BBHour" on Point Blank Radio and "BBBoiler Welcomes" on Data Transmission Radio, have afforded her the opportunity to create a new platform to showcase her growing skillset as DJ, interviewer and producer. Blanka Barbara's opening salvo on Particles finds "Amabie" a driving gem, fuelled by rolling bassline groove and heavy beat. Referencing a mythical Japanese mermaid, searing melodic flourishes sit across the mid-range as they cut through the mix with laser precision. Textured pads add to the atmosphere as a stripped back breakdown paves the way for a club-friendly second half where rhythm and melody combine to powerful effect. "The Black Lagoon" continues the rich melodic narrative as a filtered motif wends its way across the 8-minute piece. Anchored by deep, resonant beat and off-beat percussion, a seismic bassline adds weight aplenty in an evolving, multi-faceted soundscape track of pure emotion that rises from subterranean depths to a paradise from whence no one can return.

Juan Deminicis is no stranger to the Proton Music catalogue. A regular since 2012 with a quarter-century of remix and original production material, the Argentinean has sparkled with such celebrated releases as 2013's "Behind the Sun", 2019's "Life on the Moon", 2020's "Synchronicity" and July 2021's "Water /Rebellion". A clutch of remixes for GMJ, Michael A and Mark Slee have shone a spotlight on another side of Juan's production talent as he returns to remix Blanka Barbara. Taking on "The Black Lagoon", a trademark rolling groove and deep luscious soundscape filters to the fore as familiar melodies from the original flow across the stereo spectrum. A glorious syncopation of rhythm and melody follows before a new cadence opens up in the second half to mesmerising club-friendly glory as white-noise effects and sub bass complete the picture.

Another artist with a long Proton Music history is Michael A. Prolific and talented, the Belarusian's work has seen almost a half-century of credits grace the label, not least in a raft of original EPs that began with 2017's "Bright Hope" and have since included another 5 original releases. September 2020 saw the beginning of a new chapter as the "Fantasy" series took shape, now about to enter its third instalment. Remixes for James Warren, James Monro and Pole Folder have also lit up the Michael A portfolio as he now remixes "Amabie" with typical aplomb. A rich bassline and shaker-driven percussive line create an immediate groove while a new chord progression and familiar elements from the original create a stunning new vibe. The scorching lead line from the original adds to the sonic collage at the mid-point as the second half explodes in a striking combination of rhythmic force and melodic character.

With a silky flow, Blanka Barbara's "Amabie" swims in elegant fashion, escorted by remixes from Juan Deminicis and Michael A.

Amabie

The Black Lagoon (Juan Deminicis Remix)

inctive deep and powerful sound that has gone on to see him feature on the likes of Clinique, Particles and Proton Music, the UK star admits, “I love making electronic music”.

A pair of remixes for GMJ & Matter’s “Lost on Origin” represented a Meanwhile debut in April 2020, while February 2021’s “Push Thru / Horizonz” was another notable highlight, showcasing Khan’s craftsmanship with an original EP debut. Now returning with a second offering, the three-track “Equinox” is another masterful addition to the Meanwhile catalogue.

Opening proceedings, the title track glitters in a velvety night sky where pinpricks of melodic light illuminate a cavernous bassline. White-noise pans in gentle waves across the stereo spectrum as thickly stratified pads join forces in synthesised union. A true force of nature erupts in symmetrical brilliance where “Equinox” delivers a timeless masterpiece.

Full of groove-inspired character, “Generator” builds a new powerline. Heavy bass sequences spawn a heady concoction of low-end energy that revolves in perpetual cycles. Rhythmic dynamism develops in hypnotic patterns as subtle synth motifs are charged by rib-cracking kick and syncopated vitality.

Rhythmic intricacy and poise form “In My Head” where popping percussion delivers a vibrant framework that fizzes with brio and intensity. Pulsating waves of sound vibrate in aural synchronicity around ethereal vocal touches, and gentle melodic juxtaposition revolves around a heady mixture of exquisite suspense that represents a new conduit for machine-generated sounds.

Through beautiful sonic symmetry where rhythm and melody are balanced with immaculate precision, a new “Equinox” emerges from the brilliant mind of Imran Khan.

003 tejomaya praveen achary remix
004 tejomaya paul hamilton remix

North and South America converge in stunning clarity as Dimuth K and Berni Turletti hit new heights with "Tejomaya". Crystal clear melodies flow in cascading torrents beneath a riverbed of rock steady rhythm and heavy bass intent. Hypnotising patterns emerge in liquid formations that surface in a breakdown of intent, and glistening delays reflect in shimmering patterns in the second half. A Dutch master provides a new interpretation of purpose and intent as familiar melodic phrases filter through Alex O'Rion's "Tejomaya". A sublime new groove rolls in easy percussive sequence as motifs build amongst an array of multi-faceted soundscapes and white-noise waterfalls.

An iconic name full of sonic juice returns to familiar alleys where Praveen Achary signals new resolve. Reverberating bass echoes in cavernous waves across a rhythmic force of nature. Subtle references to "Tejomaya" reveal themselves at the mid-point in spiralling delays and recognisable motifs. From the edge of the Persian Gulf, Paul Hamilton charts a path through the familiar waters where tumbling melodies flow in rivulets that shimmer and shake in sonic glory. Anchored by chest-thumping kick and head-nodding hi-hats, sultry rhythms showcase a glistening new edifice.

American electronic music producer Alex Donofrio touched down on the scene in early 2020 with an array of upbeat cinematic soundscapes that traverse across the melodic house & techno realms. A solid lineup of releases on underground labels such as Stripped Recordings, Eternalism, Faites Leur Des Disques, & Bullfinch signaled the start of his producer journey followed by a string of independent singles which harp an abundance of ethereal deeper vibes, progressive house, organic house, and balearic chillout.

Star Feeder - Live Extract with Korg Esx-1

Star Feeder - Live Extract

Lui Mafuta presents This Ain’t Jazz, a boundary-pushing new EP that fuses live musicianship
with electronic sensibility - an exploration of jazz influence through a deeply personal and
collaborative lens. 

The release is available on digital platforms and as a limited vinyl edition.

At the heart of This ain’t Jazz is a long gestating idea: to bridge electronic music with an
organic, band oriented aesthetic. Lui Mafuta reunited with four longtime friends and
collaborators: Paul Janoschka, Felix Roos, Jonas Esser and Benedikt Jäckle - who all studied
music together in Mannheim before scattering across the globe. Under the loose collective
named Weiller, they came together once again to create a sound that lives between genres.

The EP is a globe spanning production. Piano was recorded on Paul Janoschka’s Steinway in
his Frankfurt apartment; trumpet and clarinet were tracked in a rural French studio with Felix
Roos; drums came from New York via Jonas Esser; and saxophone was laid down in Lui’s own
studio in Mannheim alongside Benedikt Jäckle. All elements were finally assembled and
shaped into a cohesive vision back in Mannheim.

“There’s less synth work on this one than usual,” Lui says. “Most of the textures come from
the instruments themselves and a lot of sample mangling. I wanted it to feel raw, human and
alive.”
Despite its title, This Ain’t Jazz is a love letter to jazz’s influence. “I called it that just to be
safe,” Lui jokes. “It isn’t jazz but it’s coming from that space.” The project also serves as a
reconnection to his roots: two of the four featured musicians are teenage friends from his
earliest days making music.

‘Electrique Boutique’, has been meticulously curated and crafted throughout the past year by Steve Marx, a highly respected and in demand Sydney based dj with decades of experience playing around the world, and an integral part of onedotsixtwo’s A&R and management team. He has enlisted the talents of a wide spectrum of producers from across the globe, both established and up and coming, to contribute exclusive and previously unreleased material which he has expertly selected and mixed to form a unique and dynamic mix bursting with energy and individuality.

onedotsixtwo’s mantra is ‘Proper Progressive’ and there is no better advocate than Steve Marx for this. Using his innate understanding of the progressive sound he has compiled a stunning collection of tracks from a diverse group of immensely talented producers, a number of which were created specifically for the compilation.

Nick Newman’s ‘Oracle’ sets the scene perfectly with it’s deep rolling groove and haunting pipes, giving way to veteran Belfast producer Chris Cargo’s ‘Wolfie’, setting the tone for what is undoubtedly going to be a wild ride. Next up, Buenos Aires’ Santi Cebrero’s ‘El Canto de la Calandria’ brings the Argentinean progressive flavour into the mix with it’s beautiful soaring melodies and chugging bassline.

The recent hotbed for the progressive sound, Sri Lanka, has given us SAJAY and the stunning ‘Pareidolia’ with it’s sweeping and warped FX, carried forward by a deep rolling bassline and shimmering melodies. Australia’s Zankee Gulati is up next with one of a number of the tracks written specifically for this mix compilation. Zankee has seen a meteoric rise in the past year thanks to universally praised releases on highly respected labels and his track ‘Who Are You?’ demonstrates exactly why with it’s laidback but powerful groove, euphoric melodies and muted, yet wildly infectious vocal hook. 

Now the mix comes into full flow with a duo of Argentine duos back to back, both also with tracks produced specifically for this compilation. First up, Analog Jungs’ ‘Saturnia’ takes us into orbit with a tight galloping kick and razor sharp shakers underpinned by a swooping bassline, sublime keys and a topline with enough energy to power a city. Fellow countrymen Oliver & Tom take the reins next with ‘Skyscraper’, a stunningly crafted piece that soars effortlessly and drives with intent simultaneously. 

The suspenseful and percussive beauty of ‘Sweet Melancholy’ from Colombia’s Zalvador gels effortlessly into the hypnotic and atmospheric ‘Lockdown’ by Russia’s Rise & Fall. Steve Marx then turns the dial back up to 11 with another Argentinean injection of power from Cordoba’s Ivan Aliaga and his beast of a track ‘Mysterious Stranger’. The penultimate track on this outstanding mix compilation comes from Missouri’s Will DeKeizer who’s masterful and emotive ‘Karma’ demonstrates perfectly why he is a name to watch this coming year. Last but not least by any means, and very fittingly, we head back to Sydney, Australia with Balad and his ethereal opus ‘Day and Night’ to close out this progressive masterclass.
