Proton Pack #216

#House_SoundCloud Weekly

Responsible for a rich seam of musical talent in the world of underground dance, the introduction of another South American to the ranks of the Particles roster sees Argentinean, Sebastian Busto, take a significant career step forwards with his 3-track "Nature" EP.

A man with a long-held passion for music, Busto's academic prowess in piano from early childhood ultimately led him to study music theory, singing and guitar at the Buenos Aries Conservatory of Music, as an initial foray into the music industry, via performances with rock acts, brought notoriety across his hometown and success with a number of tours and albums. A realisation that dance music was where his true desires lay came from an epiphany watching an electrifying Creamfields performance of legendary godfather of the Argentinean underground dance scene, Hernan Cattaneo.

Turning his attention to the progressive house genre, Sebastian Busto found his true calling. Making an immediate impact with the "A New Kind of Science" EP for Golden Cat Recordings in October 2014, the Argentinean has gone on to see legion original productions signed to some of the industry's finest underground imprints. Thus, OLD SQL, Balkan Connection and Golden Wings have played host to such notable releases as the "Escape EP", "Evolution" and "Spiritual", the latter lighting up the Summer of 2016 in trademark fashion. Well regarded by his peers, the support of Cattaneo himself has leant considerable success to Busto's cause. Indeed, with his countryman playing the title track itself on his "Resident" Proton Radio show in July 2016, it is with great pleasure that we welcome Sebastian Busto to his Particles debut with his concept-themed "Nature" EP.

Opening with the title track, "Nature" is a strong, emotional offering, full of stepped arpeggio lines and delayed shimmering melodic riffs and sequences. Full of bright analogue sounds and a rich sonic palette, the 9-minute voyage forges a vibrant landscape backed by a strong beat and rich percussive rhythm that fills the upper frequencies with an assortment of hats, shakers and female vocal sounds.

Opening with its complex percussive patterns, "Mankind" retains the aural identity of its predecessor with its intelligent use of melodic sequences and rich sonic architecture. A firm foundation is laid via the marriage of a strong beat and subterranean bass line creating a work that bristles with menacing intensity in the breakdown that extends into the third movement with consummate skill.

Final track, "Making Life", is immediately characterised by techno leanings with its rapid-fire bass line and pounding beat that evolves into a delicately grooved affair. Strong chord progressions via smooth pads open a path for a wealth of melodic counterpoint and the presence of an electric guitar lead line adds weight and intrigue to the four-to-floor rhythmic framework.

Whether or not "Nature" or nurture is the dominant force, there is little debating the argument over Sebastian Busto's skilled musicianship.

Deep melodic and summer-like - we say welcome Julian Wassermann with his organic and absolutely groovy "Elysion". A track full of dreamy chords and a long lasting hookline. While the piano is swinging you feel the power of the bass line and the hypnotic build up. While "Genesis" is more easy and made for the sunny dancefloor , "Surreal" comes with a darker attitude and some shuffling sounds which end up in a hands-up break.

More info can be found here:  premadharma.org/mahamantra-glory

About the VA: 
To celebrate the passing of another beautiful year, we’ve decided to put together a few tracks we love for the 12th edition of Kindisch Steps. 10 exclusive tracks from some of our dearest friends. Jumping right in, Death on the Balcony creates a beautifully melancholic vibe with ‘Our Origins’. Haunting vocal layers and a solid groove make this one an absolute treat. Next Marco Tegui and Israel Vich team up for a bouncy adventure into the dusty old west titled ‘Manan Kanchu’. Modd delivers pure magic once again with ‘Gerda’, picking up steam in the compilation the track plays deep inside enchanted forests, giving off a warm afterhour glow. We won’t spoil the surprise of the rest, but rest assured it gets more and more magical the deeper you go.

SevenJune is a new exciting emerging artist from Spain who we are happy to welcome on our MNL label.

'Aggressive Friday' is a lovely grooving melodic progressive cut that is sure to please many DJ's and dance floors alike. Deep and uplifting at the same time, it's a captivating piece of work that just keeps on rolling and rolling!

On remix duties we welcome back Fernando Olaya back to the label. The Colombian artist needs little introduction as we've worked with him several times before, most recently releasing fresh EP's on our Manual Music and Magnitude Recordings imprints. His remix is a little bit more intense and heady. A perfect addition to an already lovely original.

Format: Digital
Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/label/onedotsixtwo/62965 

Tripswitch’s ONEDOTSIXTWO unveils its first release of 2019 as it continues to seek out and feature the finest world-class talent within the global underground progressive house scene. The label’s highly impressive 10th release shines a spotlight on the dynamic creativity of rising Argentinian DJ/Producer Antrim, who follows his remix of Griffin Paisley’s ‘Sunspots’ (ODST0009) with his own 2-tracker. This package is further boosted by a superb set of remixes courtesy of fellow Argentinian rising-star Nicolas Rada, and one of Egypt’s most promising rising DJ/Producers, the inimitable Black 8.

‘Missing Words’ is a masterfully subtle and uniquely enthralling creation. Its relaxed, carefully arranged, hypnotic, melodic beauty marks Antrim out as being ahead of the curve. Indeed, whilst also running and releasing on his own Or Two Strangers imprint, Antrim has built a reputation for developing a highly individualistic cutting edge sound, incorporating both deep and progressive influences, and seen him impress with a steady flow of recent releases on the likes of Sudbeat, Future Sound Of Egypt, Dreamers and Particles. This exceptionally promising Córdoba-based DJ/Producer further enhances his rapidly rising reputation with the equally impressive ‘Experiments’, another highly addictive creation that exhibits a steadily building groove, coated in unhurried layers of subtle texture and splashed with joyous colours. 

Remix duties for ‘Experiments’ fall to Cairo-based Black 8, considered to be one of Egypt’s most promising rising DJ/Producers. Since 2013, his stunning and unique productions have topped the Beatport charts and graced Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Nick Warren’s Hope Recordings and The Soundgarden, as well as other key quality labels. Adding a distinctive driving pulse to proceedings, Black 8 ups the energy levels and launches his own soaring masterpiece, sparkling and fizzing with smile-inducing anthemic attitude throughout.

Nicolas Rada is another rising star emerging from the excellent Argentinian scene and making a huge impression right now. His love of Radiohead originally opened him up to dance music and over the last 10 years he has quietly built a head of steam through his productions, enabling him to count his heroes - Danny Howells, John Digweed and Nick Warren - among an ever-growing army of admirers. His remix of ‘Missing Words’ completes this excellent package, whence a delicious, laid-back, low-slung groove underpins a beautifully deep, sun-stroked, dub-inflected interpretation that is both an effortlessly enticing and uniquely wondrous finale.

Jonnas B - Alhena (Original Mix)

With their first collaborative project Artfaq and Ezequiel Arias land on Cid Inc's Replug Records with 'Babel'. Hailing from Cordoba, Nacho Ferroni and Nacho Varela make up the Artfaq production team. The Argentinean duo have found favour amongst progressive music tastemakers Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, while finding a home on Antrim's rapidly rising Or Two Strangers imprint. Similarly, upon making his debut in 2013, Cordoba resident Ezequiel Arias quickly became a favourite of the two storied DJs as well, eventually leading to releases on Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank Records, Sudbeat Music and Suara. Also a member of the Replug artist roster, Ezequiel made his label debut in November of 2017 with a contribution to the 'Defined 01' collection. Now making a welcome return to the Finnish imprint, Ezequiel pairs with label debutants Artfaq for a highly anticipated EP. 

Comprised of two tracks it's the title piece 'Babel' which leads the release off.  Putting your emotional centres on high, a bed of warm beats and hip swinging rhythms set the stage for a full, driving groove. Redolent effects add an astral charm as the first act unfolds, while fragmented melodies are gently teased as the main break commences. Coming to full realization yet tastefully indistinct, it's a musical narrative for the astute connoisseur, delivering a profound emotional message before smoothly transitioning into a groovy finale. 

Rounding out the EP is the equally stunning 'Polaroid'. In crafting a smooth rolling groove, the Argentinean trio have fashioned a strong foundation, complemented with hypnotic pulses and percussive drive. Charming in design and emotive in delivery, harmonic phrases slowly engulf the framework, carrying the piece into joyous second act. As the bassline melts down, melodic motifs converge, opening up for moments of exuberant warmth and hopeful reflection, before a pulsating final act unites rhythm and groove for devastating dance floor dynamics.  It caps off a hugely successful collaborative project from three of Argentina's most highly touted artists. A meeting of music minds where the end result further cements Replug's ethos of delivering unique and exciting projects.

Ezequiel Arias & Artfaq - Babel [Replug]

Flying Heart EP brings together prolific producers and veteran artists Savvas and Death on the Balcony, Crossings usual suspects Parallells and Vander and rising talent Joe Finch.

Savvas delivers two stellar original tracks for his debut EP on Crossings. The dreamy Flying Heart was premiered at Crossings' Off Sonar Get Together 2018 event, during sunrise, the first of many. Parallells built on its key components and produced an insightful remix, adding energy while retaining the beauty of the original melody. Vander and Joe Finch's remix is simple and elegant, all the while remarkably powerful and festive.

Dream on Clouds is equally wonderful – a mesmerising summer track with ever evolving pads and a soothing melody. Last but not least, Death On The Balcony created yet another astonishing piece, a perfect combination of groove and melody, with a finely crafted loopy structure in which no one part dominates.
