Resilience

A transmission from deep space has reached Earth... 
This tune carries the frequencies of distant civilizations, their mechanical rhythms still pulsing across the void.
Hypnotic signals collide with terrestrial beats as two worlds converge in sound. 
Ancient algorithms propel you through an infinite cosmos where time moves differently.
This architectural sound is built from the blueprints of distant pulsars. Where synthetic gravity bends reality and every beat elevates your next breath.
Embark on a cosmic dance in orbit!

Special thanks to Menkee for mastering.

An artist with a rich and varied background, Mark Slee returns to Proton with his debut EP in the shape of the three-track, "Veranda". Remixes come from Australian and Argentinean stars.

A self-confessed electronic music obsessive, Mark Slee has been involved in the underground dance scene for over 20 years plus over 100 episodes of his monthly "Heron Sound" Proton Radio show. DJ performances across his San Francisco home have earnt Slee an impressive fan base, backed by performances further afield in Berlin, New York and at Burning Man, while production talent has seen music signed to Seven Villas, Suprematic and Magician On Duty with notable success coming from his own Manjumasi imprint alongside Atish. Returning to Proton Music after remixes for the likes of Oliver Lieb, Navar and Rudy, the title track is a glorious combination of deep rolling groove and evolving synth lines. Building elegantly with grooved bassline, a free-flowing plucked string ripples across "Vernada" with syncopated motifs adding depth and intrigue. "Portico" continues a penchant for intricate melodic line to coruscate across the mid-range, backed by a swathe of counterpoint phrases and analogue arpeggio that engages with varying degrees of sustain and release. A deep kick and cleverly programmed percussive line add the perfect rhythmic framework. The dulcet melodies of "Tigersden" complete the triptych with legato lead combining perfectly with syncopated chords in mid and lower frequencies tied immaculately to a strong rhythmic backdrop. Evolving in effervescent fashion, Slee's impressive synth work creates a wonderful narrative thread throughout the three pieces.

Through his MUUI production moniker, Patrick Carrera is the epitome of the successful modern music producer. Able to boast a triple century of credits to his name, the Australian born artist conjures up a unique sound that has seen his name allied to a host of blue-chip imprints that include Marc Poppcke's, Crossfrontier Audio, Eelke Kleijn's Outside The Box and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat. Always at the cutting edge of the underground dance movement, a pair of Proton Music remixes in the shape of 2014's reworking of Kobana and 2019's remix of Imran Khan, now sees MUUI returning for a third outing with a cleverly interpreted remix of "Portico". Retaining the rich melodic flow of the original and familiar arpeggiated riff sat slightly further back in the mix, emotive chord progressions add depth and soul. A ticking percussive groove and heavy beat add dancefloor credentials while a subterranean bassline adds weight and counterbalance to the brighter melodies.

Juan Deminicis requires no introduction to the Proton Music faithful. An artist constantly at the vanguard of underground dance, the Argentinean is a regular across the clubs of his homeland and throughout the Buenos Aries capital. Adored by fans and peers alike his music litters a host of high-profile imprints that include Loss & Found, Plattenbank and Sudbeat. A regular on Proton since 2013, his "Behind the Sun", "Life on the Moon" and forthcoming "Synchronicity" EPs have shaped the progressive house movement with his distinctive sound. Returning after a May 2019 remix of Michael A's "Geometria", the Juan Deminicis reworking of the title track finds the familiar backdrop of Slee's "Veranda" permeating throughout the six plus minute offering. Before long, new melodies from Deminicis' fertile imagine ripple across the breakdown and into the third movement with consummate ease while a seismic kick and offbeat percussive groove provide a dynamic rhythmic anchor.

An ever-expanding sonic horizon extends across Mark Slee's "Veranda", punctuated by colourful landmarks from MUUI and Juan Deminicis.

Mark Slee - Veranda (Juan Deminicis Remix)

Another debutant to hit the Particles roster, Deepshader reveals himself through his twin-track "Fragments" EP. Both originals and a pair of remixes complete a Moldovan picture.

A pulsating wave of sound immediately propels "Fragments" forward with dizzying power. Rich chord progressions and bassline prowess combine with ethnic vocal phrasing to create a heady melodic collage, while a heavy beat and lighter percussive cadence provide body-shaking groove. Heavily side-chained throughout, the result is a dramatic and striking work. "Sur" opens with whip-cracking kick, rolling groove and cleverly programmed bassline presence. Hitting its stride over a seven-minute duration, organic instrumentation meanders in freeform glory post-breakdown to create a mesmerising piece that showcases skill and craftsmanship in abundance.

The ‘twin-headed dragon' of Lanvary continue to dominate the underground dance scene with their uniquely crafted works, cooked up in their Moldovan production kitchen. Able to point to over 150 production credits to their name across a decade-long career, the duo have been frequent contributors on such notable imprints as Stellar Fountain, Mistique Music and Balkan Connection. Regulars on Proton Music and Particles, their "Venus" and "Everything You Feel" EPs for the former and "Micromegas", "Slingshot Ride" and "Leviathan" for the latter have consistently seen them creating a stir. Returning to Particles, the Lanvary remix of "Fragments" is thus an immaculately crafted affair that revels in glissando bassline dominance. Evolving in elegant fashion, phrases from the original ripple across the nine-minute piece in shimmering new cadence while a new arpeggio ripples alongside, mirroring the key change found in the bassline. A driving beat and rolling percussive groove complete a stunning reinterpretation.

Another new name to the Particles roster, Andrei Schirca's Nkoder moniker has seen him feature with a string of original and remix material across a ten-year history. Making his debut for Terminal 4 in late 2010, the Moldovan born artist has gone on to feature for the likes of Saturate Audio, Noise Dealers and Balkan Connection with a half-century of production credits. Moreover, his collaboration with Deepshader on "Twice a Sky" was a notable highlight on the "Da Funk pres. Deep Sessions 01" for Silk Music in early 2016. A Particles debutant, a growling bassline and cavernous sub-bass characterise the Nkoder remix of "Fragments". Filtered synth lines and pitch-bent stabs pierce the sonic landscape with analogue saturation while sumptuous pads fill the aural space with texture and depth. Elements from Deepshader's original echo through the remix but Nkoder's skill is to sculpt them into a new and immaculately crafted interpretation that erupts with raw analogue power across the stereo signal in the final movement to superb effect.

Two sparkling new originals plus remixes from Lanvary and Nkoder see "Fragments" coalesce around the work of Deepshader.
