Returning to the progressive trance sound that he initially built his name on, Artem Stoliarov aka Arty reprises the well-loved Alpha 9 alias for his latest Anjunabeats outing alongside London duo Koven.

Following a series of Arty instrumentals on the label throughout 2016 including ‘Patriots’ and ‘Follow The Light’ (alongside Andrew Bayer), ‘Only Good Mistake’ feat. Koven surprisingly marks the Russian producer’s first ever vocal single on Anjunabeats.

A vocalist and producer duo in the bass world, Max Rowat and Katie Boyle aka Koven have released on a number of renowned labels including Viper Recordings and Monstercat. 

Recent years have seen Arty himself explore all sides of the electronic music world, most noticeably in 2015’s diverse and experimental ‘Glorious’ LP. Elsewhere his mix for Moby’s iconic ‘Porcelain’ showed a deeper, broken beat side to his sound. 

In ‘Only Good Mistake’, however, the Russian producer defines a clear, singular melodic progressive house sound that has all the hallmarks of a festival hit and bodes well for the rebirth of the Alpha 9 alias.

Open Records are proud to present two remixes of Danny Bonnici's The Heavens from their hit compilation Expansion Pack II.

Danny's melodic masterpiece was one of the best selling tunes on the hit compilation, so what better way to celebrate this amazing tune than a remix by one of Australia's truly iconic names in electronic music, Luke Chable?

Dragging the classic Melbourne sound of the late '90s and early 2000s kicking and screaming into the modern era, his rework is a masterclass in deep progressive.

What's Up Desert Hearts Family, 

We're proud to share with you @CutSnakes' gorgeous debut EP on the label. We've been homies with Leigh Sedley for nearly a decade and we've watched his path as an artist soar to amazing heights over the years. He was actually one of the first headliners we ever booked to play our Jungle party before we ever started Desert Hearts. He truly embodies everything we want from an artist on the label. He's incredibly talented, and absolute homie, and one of the funniest Aussie cunts we know! 

This 3-track EP is so damn good and it really shows the range of music he's been creating in the studio. We couldn't be more proud to give our boy Cut Snake a platform to share his set with the world. Welcome to the family, Sedz! 

House, Techno, and Love... We Are All Desert Hearts.

Cut Snake - Desire (Original Mix)

A DJ across his native Greece and a decade long production career sees Dio S now debut on Particles with "Alas". Since early vinyl releases, over 250 track credits have been amassed on some of the finest digital imprints as Sick Watona, Stripped and Movement have played host to his music. An appearance with Kosmas on the third instalment of the all-conquering Sol Selectas "Summer Sol" compilation series in June 2018 is another notable career highlight.

The title track is a melodic house offering that revels in a shaker-fuelled organic groove as textured pads flow in gently pulsating waves and clave percussion highlights keenly felt. A delicate melodic interlude provides further evidence of impressive production skills that filter into the final movement in a work of genuine craft. "Lydia" continues the laid back melodic vibe of its predecessor as a hypnotic shaker captures the attention with its club-friendly pattern. Building beautifully a melody arises out of the rhythm section with a strong piano motif, redolent in reverse reverb. A subterranean bass line adds additional sonic flavour as rhythms and counterpoint motifs converge in the second half with passion and technique.

Working from a foundation where "every sound has its own soul", Kynan Cosma has carved out a niche sound with his "deep melodic, underground beats". A nascent production career has subsequently brought success with a clutch of underground house tracks that have gained in momentum since March 2016's "The Void" on Deep Therapy. Further work has subsequently seen Cosma appear on Moodmusic and Deep House Belgium, with the latter accounting for the five-track "The Path" in October 2017 and "Extraterrestrial" going on to feature on the best-selling "Visceral compilation series. Now debuting on Particles, the Kynan Cosma remix of "Alas" takes the track on a wonderfully curated voyage that bristles with new melodic content and a host of new production material. Using the central chord progressions and motifs of the Dio S original, Kynan's skill is to extend them into new and emotive directions backed by a wonderful bassline and rhythmic backbone that explodes into the third movement.

Greek based artist, Savvas, has been immersed in electronic music since the early 1990s. A regular across clubs and parties of his adopted homeland, the Savvas production career has seen over 200 credits sitting proudly against his name for such blue-chip imprints as Ready Mix, Motek Music and Anjunadeep. Still retaining the same passion for his music and a desire to experiment with his sonic palette, Savvas returns to Particles after wonderful remix of Michael A's "Bright Hope" in August 2017. Using a strong beat and clicking woodblock groove as a foundation, melodic elements of the original make their presence felt before a host of new production material takes "Alas" in a new direction with glistening bell-like motif that revels in reverb and hypnotic pattern. Counterpoint melodies rise and fall in bewitching refrains as reversed phrases add depth and intrigue to an intelligent and dynamic new interpretation.

Remixes from Kynan Cosma and Savvas find Dio S in wistful mood with the twin-track "Alas".

Recently coaxed out of a long production hiatus (the result: a standout remix of The Midnight's "Synthetic"), friend and long-standing label muse Alex "Mango" Golovanov continues to reinforce his legacy in the niche of melodic progressive house, courtesy of a brand new collaboration with Norwegian producer, singer, and songwriter Astroleaf. 

Mango & Astroleaf's triumphant new single, "We Tried," not unlike Astroleaf's recent "Open Your Heart" release on our label, features a heartfelt performance that reflects the singer's lament about a relationship beyond repair. Yet, the central lyrical motif — "they should all know we tried" — suggests that the singer has made peace and brought closure, a more optimistic sentiment that Mango's characteristically hopeful chords help to bring to the surface. As the song progresses, the emotional resonance of the composition steadily builds, culminating with a gorgeous new lead synth. The chemistry between Mango and Astroleaf is truly awe-inspiring and offers a portal back in time to the vintage melodic progressive house sound of the late aughts.

Who better to offer a summer-flavored, uptempo interpretation of a melodically rich progressive cut than Talamanca, the Dutch maestro behind so many (beloved) Balearic progressive anthems over the past five years? Following last year's globally acclaimed "Arrivals & Departures" debut artist album, Talamanca remains in peak form here, as he offers his fans another euphoric, summer-kissed classic. The trance-influenced chord progression, which proves rapturous from start to finish, has the effect of "buoying" the vocals from sinking into melancholia. In the song's thrilling climax, the listener is inundated with waves of melodic bliss. 

It's rare to encounter a singer-songwriter who is equally adept at production, but Astroleaf proves himself a versatile, exceedingly skilled composer via a ‘chillout' take of his own. A gentle drum roll carries the rhythm, while delicate background synths offer a a soothing soundscape, upon which his vocal and memorable lyrics take center stage. A patient crescendo ultimately reveals an emotionally incisive final act, in which the the synths come to the for of the arrangement, accompanied by Astroleaf's gorgeous backing vocals.

Mango & Astroleaf - We Tried (Original Vocal Mix)

September sees Myon renew a studio relationship first formed in 2014 with his debut co-production with the US Late Night Alumni collective. 
Tonally and thematically ‘Hearts &amp; Silence’ picks up where ‘Under Your Cloud’ left off. It again underscores the brilliant, near-alchemic triangulation between Myon’s clubbier, more driving studio
instincts, L.N.A.’s cooler housier, elements and the quiet persuasion of singer Becky Jean Williams’ empathetic,
affecting vocals.
On the club mix Myon‘s techier contours and more electro-lining FX light the track’s touch-paper. Against its
riding percussion lines and elegiacally bleeping intro melody, collectively they instil a lament-filled emotive to its
early minutes.
As sensitively written as they are deeply moving, Becky’s ‘Hearts &amp; Silence’ lyrics and vocal put the brilliance of
her from-the-heart songwriting into sharpest possible focus. As the track moves towards the drop, those more
wistful vocal accents fade, replaced - in feel and tone - with first hope, and then belief.
Though their music Myon and L.N.A. skilfully shadow this transition. With evermore uplifting elements –
orchestral strings, seaside atmospherics and beautifully crafted/strikingly elevating synths all supporting the shift,
it swells to its heartening, enriching post-break conclusion. Classy, organic music making at its absolute finest.
