The quintet of tracks that marked the "Forgotten Wisdom" EP saw Australia's GMJ forge another successful rung on an already growing ladder after the triumph of "Edge of Remembrance". Now Particles returns to the second EP with remixes from heavyweight Latvian and Australian, Particles debutants.

Latvian duo Edmunds Kasprovičs and Kristap Kārkliņš have been a revelation in the trance and progressive house genres since they debuted their Blood Groove and Kikis production soubriquet for Spring Tube in early 2010. Having initially met at a party, joining forces quickly became a clear signal of intent. Supported by the trance elite of Above and Beyond, Max Graham and Jaytech, their sound has cultivated a loyal fan base and unparalleled success. Signed to a whole host of impressive imprints including Nueva and Incepto, it is the pair's work for the Silk family of labels that included the hugely successful "Wonderland" album, debuting in March 2014 on Silk Digital. A limited CD edition sold out in weeks and the digital version went on to sell in its thousands.

After so many releases on labels within the Proton roster of talent, it is with huge pleasure that Particles welcomes Blood Groove and Kikis to Particles with a trademark remix of "Silent Love". Extracting elements of GMJ's melodic work, Edmunds and Kristap have transformed them in dazzling new patterns that shift and evolve in entirely new directions, backed by a strong beat and driving percussion, creating a work a passion and dynamism.

Rich Curtis is an artist that needs little introduction to the Proton music cognoscenti. A celebrated promoter, DJ and producer, Curtis has been responsible for bringing names such as Anthony Pappa and Hernan Cattaneo to his native Queensland. A multi-talented musician, Curtis' production work soon hit the headlines as a consistent track record that has seen him feature on Mesmeric, Indigo and Tulipa, has provided a steady stream of blue chip releases. A recent collaboration with Argentina's Dark Soul Project for Tim Penner's Slideways imprint has further cemented that reputation.

Work for Proton Music that has included remixes of Colourblock, Soulwerk and, most recently, Silinder, was further lit up by 2013's twin-track "Safety Thirst" EP. Remixed by no lesser light than Dousk, the EP provided a standout moment in an impressive career. Remixing for Particles for the first time, the Rich Curtis rework of GMJ's title track, see "Forgotten Wisdom" take a strong groove-oriented path with dominant kick and full percussive flow. As the track evolves, a beautiful arpeggio that has its roots in the original mix, shimmers and sparkles its ways across nine minutes of joy, juxtaposed with angular spot effects to create a work of class and elegance.

Remixes from two of the industry's finest names in Blood Groove and Kikis and Rich Curtis have provided GMJ with enough 'wisdom' to ensure their combined work is not 'forgotten'.

GMJ - Forgotten Wisdom
