In late summer 2017, Nicolas Rada continued to cement a growing reputation with the twin-track "Sheremetyevo". Now returning to the EP, a pair of new remixes find French and Dutch talents in fine form as they take on partner track, "One-One Eleven Thousand".

From Sneek in northern Netherlands, Daniel van der Zwaag has been in immersed in music from an early age, part of a "musical family" that saw him familiar with piano and guitar from an early age. Using these skills as a firm foundation for a foray into electronic music, Daniel quickly found himself as an integral member of a tight-knit community of DJs and producers, centred around his hometown. Thus, a collaborative and fruitful partnership was formed with fellow Sneek resident, Ferdy, which has seen the duo celebrate a host of original releases including the outstanding "Raindrops" EP on Particles in early 2015, while February 2017's "My Polyphone Girl" saw a stellar quintet of tracks full of innovation, technique and craft. October 2017's "Lost in a Dream" EP for Oleeva Records marked a debut solo outing, continued now on Particles as Daniel van der Zwaag takes a typically impressive path with his penchant for intricate melodies and mature production. Creating a strong percussive framework, an impressive bassline progression lays the foundation for a swathe of counterpoint melodies to interlock against each other as strings and pads create an evocative and melancholy edge against fizzing open hi-hats. Using his creative flair to full effect, van der Zwaag has created an impressive and original remix.

An artist with a rich and varied history in the world of dance music, Rick Pier O'Neil is an iconic figure. An accomplished DJ from the age of 14, O'Neil was quickly thrust into the limelight during time as remixer for Sony BMG. Going on to work with a stellar cast that included Donna Summer, Lenny Kravitz and Ultra Nate, US Billboard Chart success followed as Rick Pier O'Neil became synonymous with high-calibre and successful dance music. Building on his US success, O'Neil then took the bold step to begin his own record label coinciding with a move to a more considered, underground dance sound that continues to provide him with success. Nearly one thousand production credits sit proudly against the Frenchman's name with almost 500 on his RPO and Garbage Records, while evidence of his sought-after production work can also be found on the catalogues of JOOF, Toolroom and Sudbeat. A regular on Particles with his collaborative work with Desaturate, the "Spirals" and "Crouched/Cursed" EPs have been notable highlights as have remixes of Kastis Torrau and Donatello and GMJ. Now returning to the label, The RPO remix of "One-One Eleven Thousand" retains the central bassline groove of the original while forming a deep new rhythm section around it. Clever use of Rada's melodic elements filter into proceedings as the track evolves, while new production material gives the remix a rich new feel.

With two outstanding new remixes from Rick Pier O'Neil and Daniel van der Zwaag, "One-One Eleven Thousand" is cleared for take-off.

One-One Eleven Thousand

One-One Eleven Thousand (Daniel Van Der Zwaag Remix) [feat. Daniel van der Zwaag]

Award-winning DJ and producer and ever-present in the upper echelons of dance music fraternity for over 15 years, Pole Folder is an iconic figure of global renown. With DJ appearances across the globe, the classically trained musician has a unique ability to fill dance-floors with cross-genre appeal while a production portfolio tells a similar story of global appeal. Through his own Reworck imprint and an era-defining album on John Digweed's Bedrock that gave rise to countless appearances on TV and radio, further work saw the Belgian mixing the "Sudbeats II" compilation for Hernan Cattaneo's imprint. A regular on Proton Music since a 2006 debut, Pole Folder now returns after a successful remix of Michael A in December 2017. "A Glimpse Into The Past" is a glorious piece, redolent in exquisite melodies and intricately crafted percussive flair. Rippling motifs build in intensity in front of a soft and hypnotic arpeggio as sumptuous pads create a depth and texture. Hitting its stride, post-breakdown, the culmination of dominant beat and counterpoint melodic lead create a wonderful aural vision.

Joining a host of Australian talents, Retza is a name that oozes craft and quality. A successful DJ at events including Rainbow Serpent Festival and Let Them Eat Cake in his home country, appearances in Berlin and North America have rubber-stamped a growing reputation. His music signed to some of the industry's finest imprints including, All Day I Dream, Kindisch and UONE's Beat and Path, Retza's music has been supported by a host of leading names including Jamie Stevens, Lee Burridge and Kasey Taylor. Making his Proton Music debut, the Retza remix is a wonderfully created work that sensitively takes the leading elements of Pole Folder's work and sculpts them into new and vibrant directions courtesy of a stripped-back beat and ticking percussive groove. These then form the foundations for layers of counterpoint melodic motifs to fully express themselves in freeform glory across the near-nine-minute track. With its warm and complex bassline adding further depth, Retza's is a dazzlingly intelligent reworking.

Maddy Hughes is another Australian firmly making his presence felt upon a global stage through his Funkform moniker. Out of his home "in the lush tropical paradise of Cairns", he has been a regular on the Open Records imprint. From 2011's "Middleman" debut to 2017's "Synthesia", Funkform's original work has been key with additional releases for Vapour Recordings, Stellar Fountain and City Life all playing host to the trademark Funkform sound. Now debuting on Proton Music with a typically impressive reworking of Pole Folder, Hughes transforms "A Glimpse Into The Past" into a dynamic, groove-driven offering that excels with a searing lead line that cuts through his remix like a hot knife through butter. Building in intensity throughout with intricate percussive top line, beautiful piano phrasing ripples outwards at the mid-point as a series of effects and motifs create a wonderful question and answer tension that is a tribute to Pole Folder's original.

With a "Glimpse Into The Past" wonderfully represented by debuts from Retza and Funkform, Pole Folder's future glows incandescent.

Australian progressive house icon Matt Rowan last appeared on Particles in early 2015. Around the same time, East Cafe released his first remix for the Proton flagship label. Over four years later, the two label stalwarts come full circle with “Heads Down.” Throughout its impressive ten-minute framework, the East Cafe remix synthesizes nostalgic and contemporary tones alike. The Hungarian certainly displays "a level of refinement, detail and depth” by drawing inspiration from the original’s timeless melodic lines.
