As winter gloom transforms into spring light, a welcome seasonal shift signals new growth; "Spring Particles 2017" provides a septet of tracks from across the globe.

Opening proceedings, Greek artist, Christopher FaFa, brings his distinctive sound to the fore. His remix of Sebastian Busto's "Making Life", for Particles, signified an impressive debut as "Walk in the Clouds" now provides a deep groove and seismic bass line that warms the lower frequency range. Evolving elegantly, a haunting lead line makes its presence felt before joined by shimmering arpeggio that locks itself to the percussive backdrop. Oleg Szyszkin, under his E.F.G. moniker, has trodden a successful path between the "two worlds" of "deep basslines and techno blips". A half century of production credits for Electronic Tree and a pair of tracks for Particles is now extended by a third, in "Syuyshe", that is full of throbbing bass line menace, accompanied by delicate percussive cadence and reverb-coated vocal cuts. The resultant work is a tech house gem that is set to coarse through dance floors the world over.

Russian producer, Anton Vishniakov, is next to contribute via his Rise and Fall pseudonym. Supported by Max Graham and Hernan Cattaneo, "The Vision" EP for Particles was marked by remixes from LoQuai and Inkfish as another new track in "Outlook", takes centre stage. A driving, pulsating affair, a running bassline is allied to dominant kick and offbeat hi-hats in the early stages before a delicious arpeggio emerges. A stripped back breakdown pauses for reflection as a third movement brings all elements together swimming across the stereo spectrum in dizzying glory. Alex and Andrew are next up, coming together once again, in their Lanvary guise. Regulars on Particles with a trio of original EPs, they made their debut on Proton Music in March 2017 with a reworking of Matter's "Seed". An alternative (One of Two Mix) is featured here, which is a subtle, deeper offering that accentuates deep bass joy and head-shaking groove. Intelligent use of Matter's original components adds dynamic flair, as an evolving textured work takes form over eight-minutes of skill and technique.

"Pioneer Middle East DJ of the Year 2013" winner, Subandrio, has seen his stock rise significantly over the past 18 months. An appearance on the "Fall Particles 2016" compilation saw a debut original work, followed now, by a second. Filled with chunky rhythms and dancefloor prowess, "NY State of Mind" is a strong track redolent in white noise effects and percussive incongruence. Driving relentlessly forwards through well-placed risers, the track is certain to be a sure-fire club hit. An artist of repute, supported by no lesser lights than Pete Tong and Joseph Capriati, WELLSINCE has made a name for himself on the likes of D-Formation's T U S H Music. Now debuting on Particles, "Fluttering Gleams" is a tech house gem that hypnotises through strong beat and low-slung rhythms. Full of dynamism, a loquacious vocal sits back in the mix as crystalline lead line sparkles into life in the breakdown, a sublime juxtaposition to the industrial strength rhythms either side. John Kearns is the final contributor through his Lateral Cut Groove moniker. A well-established artist with a host of production credits to his name, 2015's "Spring Tide" for Particles was a notable highlight. Now returning, "The State of Things" is a strong driving work that pulsates dramatically with side-chain presence. Building effortlessly and full of hypnotic dance floor flair, a textured pad in the breakdown is a wonderful evocative addition to proceedings before the rhythms once again take their dominant place.

Seven new tracks from the industry's finest talents sees growth aplenty in "Spring Particles 2017".

A returning artist to the Meanwhile catalogue, EMPHI builds on his growing support and popularity with a brand-new twin-track EP in the form of "Walk With Me / Research Myself".

Hailing from the Swedish capital, EMPHI has lit up the world of Progressive House in the first half of the 2020s with his "tracks filled with vibrant percussion and anthemic melodies." Able to point to a growing number of blue-chip labels that have featured his work, Kasey Taylor's Vapour Recordings, Alex O'Rion's Solis Records, as well as the number 1 selling Mango Alley and iconic Balance Music, have all played host to EMPHI's production talent since a 2020 debut on Odd One Out.

Meanwhile has also been a key component in seeing the Stockholm resident soar to new heights. A pair of tracks have featured on the "Meanwhile Excursions" series with "The Box" on July 2022's Vol. 2 and "Azur" on Vol. 3 a year later. Now returning for a third appearance and a full solo EP, "Walk With Me" is propelled forward by a deep and penetrating kick. At the same time, a fizzing percussive top-line of hats and shakers provides the backdrop for a hypnotic bassline groove to anchor a series of sweeping, stereo-panned effects and vocal loop to flow seamlessly across the 7-minute piece. A catchy lead motif then provides melodic interest as it filters its way through proceedings from the mid-point onwards and into a stripped-down break. Building once more, the final movement explodes into a cadenced square wave synth that cuts through the mix with sumptuous pads adding to the soundscape.

Partner track, "Research Myself" immediately comes alive with a delicious head-shaking rhythmic pattern that creates a call and answer sequence with subtle synth placement. A chorus of hi-hats and shaker patterns adds further to the dancefloor arrangement as exquisitely placed slow attack chords and delicious effects create a hypnotising sonic collage. Rising and falling with immaculate ease, the track contains all the hallmarks of the EMPHI production skillset in a seething dancefloor gem.

Journeying to new frontiers on a voyage of self-discovery, EMPHI reaches new heights with "Walk With Me / Research Myself".
