Mariner + Domingo have become welcome regulars on Particles in the early part of 2021. Hitting the headlines with their "Azimuth" EP in March, the successful duo have been an integral part of the Florida club scene since the early 1990s. Making their collaborative debut for Balkan Connection in July 2020, their partnership has gone on to see music featured on Stellar Fountain, The Purr and Sound Avenue. Also combining the production prowess of Loveclub and the vocal talents of Priest Music Productions, "Lose Control" creates a wonderful journey as it flows from ticking percussive groove, subtle melodic motifs and muted vocal phrasing in the early stages, to a powerful progressive house track in the latter half. Redolent in vocoded effect, the loquacious vocals come fully to the fore at the breakdown before a delicate melody and perfectly matched bassline create a final sequence that draws the track to a stunning conclusion.

Originally from Dublin but now firmly ensconced in his adopted Australian home, Alan Thomas Doyle has carved a growing reputation with his amháin production moniker. A regular at high-profile festivals and clubs including Burning Man, Lightning In A Bottle and Berlin's Sisyphos, amháin has seen his music reach the likes of Massive Harmony Records, LAIKA Sounds and 3rd Avenue after a debut for Sound Avenue in March 2020. Now debuting on Particles, the amháin remix combines a rich rhythmic backdrop with subtle use of components from "Lose Control". Evolving in stylish fashion through infinite delays, textured pads and flowing melodies, amháin's own production material gives the track a rich, understated vibe that is a credit to his burgeoning talent.

Making his Particles debut in June 2020 with a remix of Espen's "Late Night Snack", Jayden Klight now returns to the label. First seeing his distinctive brand of underground house reach the catalogues of Glasgow Underground in September 2017, the US producer has found himself signed to such luminary imprints as Nie Wieder Schlafen, L'enfant terrible and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas. January 2021's "Click" EP for Sound Avenue also provided a further notable highlight with its deep house sounds. Capturing the essence of "Lose Control", the Jayden Klight remix revels in a complex percussive groove that rolls relentlessly forwards with powerful precision. A subtle play on the melodic phrasing of the original makes itself heard across the mid-range while effected vocal cuts swim across the stereo spectrum in dizzying fashion. Building to scintillating crescendo in the latter stages, Jayden Klight displays talent in abundance with an intelligent reworking.
