The collaborative form is commonplace in the ever-changing world of dance music. Modern technological innovations have made idea swapping and music-making across continents a twenty-first century phenomenon. No more is such a melting pot of ideas evident than in the work of a clutch of impressive DJs and producers making their Particles debut, as Redux Saints and Paul Sawyer featuring Anki and Jourdan Bordes "Take Me With You" joined by remixes from Israel and Latvia.

With vocal and dub versions across all three artist collaborations featured here, "Take Me With You" is a maturely produced work in both delicately and enticingly sung vocal versions and stripped back dub. Heartfelt lyrics tell of age old proclamations of love lost, while strong house beat anchors effortlessly to rich bass grove. Delicate melodic riffs cascade in pleasing fashion as sumptuous pads create a further layer of textured depth to create a work of skill, poise and intrigue.

The pairing of MINTZ, featuring the combined talents of Eden Cohen and Rami Shalom, have found themselves at the forefront of northern Israel's music scene after meeting during their studies in sound engineering. Working together since 2014, the pair have a penchant for a variety of dance genres, from techno and house to ambient and dub, flavoured with the "golden era of progressive house".

Intelligently reworking the original, Anki's vocal are cleverly applied in filtered and effects-laden fashion to an elegant melodic backdrop full of emotion and analogue flair. Referencing the riff prevalent in the Redux Saints, Paul Sawyer and Jourdan Bordes work, additional production takes the track in an emotive new direction that revels in pitched analogue glory to create an impressive new reworking.

Latvian pair, Blood Groove and Kikis require little introduction to the Particles faithful. Regulars on the Silk Music imprint, March 2014's debut full-length "Wonderland" album provided the duo with continued success as much as it illustrated their rare talent. A plethora of production credits for the likes of Spring Tube, Nueva and Pineapple Digital have continued to shine a bright light onto the Blood Groove and Kikis production prowess as the pair return to Particles after standout remixes of Nikko.Z and GMJ in 2015.

Taking a typically polished approach to remix duties, the Blood Groove and Kikis remix makes full use of the vocal treatment, instantly providing a link to the "Take Me With You" original as a hypnotic rolling bass groove combines with interlocking percussive flair and cultured arpeggio precision. The resulting affair is a work of high-class that echoes Moroder while redolent in modern innovation.

A sextet of tracks from some of the dance industry's finest modern producers sees "Take Me With You" far more than the sum of its princely parts.

Music is, and always will be the love of my life. The anchor that keeps me from drifting too far off shore and ..... ! This is the world I know, the language of which is created in the hearts of all humanity - this is the world where I belong !

Music has always been my passion, when I was a kid and went into detention, my mother confiscated my walkman and radio... I had woofers from my dad's car connected to the sides of the bedroom.. to a double cassette radio.. radio Italia network was my favorite station.
The top however was Saturday night at 11 on radio 2 Sounds and ultrasounds with Bertallot aired.. In the 90s the first hip hop home productions with cubase on atari and roland djs supplied by the neighborhood youth center Then some friends gave me two dishes a belt and a mixer and from there we began to have parties I predict in the tavern.. I bought the records with the tips of the blessing of the houses. In 2000 I made a couple of albums Work in progress 1 and 2 for friends with the first pentiums using Fruity loop Reason and Cool edit..
20 years later with greater availability I'm here to produce electronic music, always for passion and for pleasure..
From a Walkman to the Web
A hug..
