Proton Radio Guest Mix: Pt.2

An artist with a growing and storied history with Particles, Li-Polymer returns with the twin-track "Magnolia". Remixes come from Australian and Brazilian talents.

Opening his Particles account with a remix of Matt Rowan in late 2014 and another for Lateral Cut Groove in early 2015, several original tracks featured on the seasonal Particles compilation series in 2015 and 2016 before "Crystal Serenity" saw the Portuguese artist release his debut solo EP in May 2017. A four-year hiatus followed before the Organic House gem that was "Jacaranda" hit the shelves in February 2021 with remixes from Hot TuneiK and LADS & Traumhouse. Now blossoming with "Magnolia", the title track is a glorious melange of reverberated and delayed percussive beats while a heavy beat anchors the mesmerising melodies that swirl across the sonic landscape. Over the 10-minute piece, textured pads and twinkling keys glisten and ambient effects provide a garden-like atmosphere as synthesised birds twitter on the breeze and off-beat chords provide subtle dancefloor character. Characterised by powerful rhythmic foundation, a strong bass groove keeps "Microclima" in check as rich aural textures and atmospheric effects continue the sonic narrative of the EP. Waxing and waning gently throughout, Li-Polymer's skill is to create a sonic odyssey full of Organic House magic.

A veteran of myriad production credits across a plethora of blue-chip imprints, GMJ's relationship with Proton continues to grow. A former regular on Particles, "Edge of Remembrance" and "Forgotten Wisdom" lit up the label in 2014 before 2016's "Intimation" and 2018's "Open Doors" continued a sparkling portfolio, the latter in collaboration with Tripswitch. Remixes of Kastis Torrau & Donatello, Oliver Lieb and James Monro have also followed as GMJ returns with a trademark remix of "Microclima". Taking the rhythmic cadence of the original and adding a delicious hi-hat swing, silky synths and smooth bass groove entwine effortlessly as elements from "Microclima" are fused with glorious new production material. Blossoming at the breakdown in emotive fashion, chords and synth phrasing are used to maximum effect before the deft new bassline creates a head-shaking second half.

From the Santa Catarina island in Florianópolis, Edu Schwartz is a relative newcomer to the underground dance fraternity. With a residency at the renowned Warung Beach Club already under his belt and the formation of his Words Not Enough imprint alongside friend, Awka, the Brazilian has also featured on the likes of The Purr, Circle of Life and Desert Hut. Edu Schwartz now makes his Particles debut with an innovative approach that creates a new melodic phrasing from the Brazilian's production prowess. A dynamic bassline progression adds an emotive touch as counterpoint melodies and soaring strings add a dash of class at the breakdown, while organic synth plucks and pulsating waves of sound extend into the third movement with ease.

A pair of original tracks plus remixes from GMJ and Edu Schwarz find Li-Polymer revelling in his "Micorclima".

An artist who made his debut in April 2019, OHMZ has since gone on to create an impressive production portfolio. With releases on Sound Avenue, The Purr and Lisandro's Flug Lab, the Chilean producer made his Particles debut in February 2022 with a remix of Chihaka's "Kupisa".

Now returning with his first solo EP for the label, "Articulation" flows elegantly forward with its intricately programmed rhythmic backdrop and whip-cracking kick. Building quickly through its 5-minute timeframe, repeated melodies wax and wane with ease to create an easily remembered phrase. Counterpoint motifs and uplifting pads add a sense of depth and interest while an intricate percussive top-line creates an intelligent new cadence from which to hang the flowing, evolving melodies.

An artist able to combine analogue and digital production methods to create his own distinctive sound that has evolved out of southern France's techno scene, NHAR has witnessed a musical transformation. From teenage drummer in a metal band to seeing his underground house productions feature on the likes of Voltaire Music, Everything Will Be Okay and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas, NHAR joins the Particles roster with a beautifully crafted remix that takes the themes found in OHMZ's original and develops them into a free-flowing sequence that blossoms over the 7-minute offering. A gently pulsating bassline and metronomic beat add dancefloor sensibility as melodies combine in a beautifully woven tapestry that takes "Articulation" in entirely new musical directions.

A final remix sees Paul Richter take centre stage with his Wolfframm production moniker. An artist with a rich history in the drum and bass genre, two decades of experience in the live arena and a wealth of production material including two full-length albums, Paul saw his Wolfframm alter-ego first make its appearance on Late Night Music in February 2002. With "Wait" also appearing on the best-selling "Visceral 110" compilation, Wolfframm now makes his Particles debut with a flowing 10-minute interpretation of "Articulation". Anchored by a lilting percussive groove of toms and closed hi-hats rooted in OHMZ original, a strong kick keeps everything in 4/4 time. Familiar melodies make their presence felt as beautiful new piano melodies emerge from the rhythmic collage. Full of evocative chord progressions and heavily side-chained the pads, the delicate piano drifts unencumbered across the mid-point breakdown before continuing into the second half with a chorus of sympathetic effects and reversed phrasing. The result is a glorious new reworking.

A new original track plus a pair of outstanding remixes from NHAR and Wolfframm see OHMZ witness an impressive "Articulation".

Tyler Mesa - A Distant Reverie (Original Mix)

A pair of remixes for Particles in December 2022 and February 2023 showcased Wolfframm's talents with sparkling interpretations of OHMZ and Juan Deminicis as he now returns to the label with his debut original EP. "Lucid" is an atmospheric gem that combines a heavy rolling beat with a tight percussive hi-hat backdrop. A stellar array of melodic effects, piano phrases and light motifs punctuate the rhythmic foundation before a deep penetrating bassline adds to the club-friendly character powering its way forward with low-end gravitas and deep intensity. Heading towards the breakdown, a stereo-panned LFO'd synth effect makes its play, before dropping into a full-force third movement where the complete cast of characters combine to devastating effect and melodic sensitivity. "Before You Go" is another bassline-driven gem that creates a smooth melodic backdrop from the bass sequence that is then mirrored through the other synth phrasing. With more than a touch of class, another beautiful piano sequence brings coherence to the EP narrative, as it finds its focus at the mid-point before the second half blossoms into life. A powerful driving beat, analogue bass groove and shaker-fuelled top line create a stunning piece of work in a pair of original tracks to define the Wolfframm sound.

Darling of the progressive house scene and long-time friend of Proton, the award-winning, Jamie Stevens, continues his impressive range of remixes on Proton Music for Petar Dundov, James Monro and Hrag Mikkel, with another genre-defining remix for Particles. With trademark aplomb and meticulous attention to detail, the scattered and panned LFO sequences from "Lucid" create dizzying aural patterns while new melodies generate a new direction full of atmosphere. As hypnotic as it is technically proficient, the Australian icon's skill is to create a unique dancefloor cadence that builds through its phases, ably complemented by whip-cracking kick, rolling low-end groove and fizzing hi-hat top line. The result is another Jamie Stevens masterclass.

Ireland born but Australian-based, amháin, is an artist with a rapidly growing reputation and production portfolio. Making his mark with remixes for Erdi Irmak and Michael A on Proton Music and April 2023's "Evaporate" EP on Particles, amháin now follows up with a progressive breaks-inspired reworking of "Lucid". The aptly titled "Broken Reality Remix" is a tour de force that cleverly plays on the powerful bassline found in Wolfframm's track by creating a groove that extends into a rumbling and sustained sequence over the 7-minute piece. Simultaneously, sounds from the original are liberally spread over the amháin remix as it retains the essence of the original but taken in a low-slung new direction courtesy of the inspired breakbeat backdrop and myriad additional production work.

House music isn’t just about the dancing it’s straight from the soul… 

I had to steal the following paragraph from ERAN AVINER SIMPLY because it is 💯 % unarguably correct.. 

“Because absolutely nothing compares to music. This language, whose universal vibes can 
be understood by anybody, connects people around the globe be it religions, cultures or ethnicity. Great tunes turn strangers into friends. One note expresses more emotions than a thousand words. Music goes on where words fall short. It simply touches your soul.
