'Cassy returns with ‘E.T.Ascension’, a mini journey through the sounds of house and techno which she adores. With this release she revisits the simplistic methods she used when making music in previous years when living in Berlin with her then husband, where he helped build her home-studio in the living room. With him being an established sound engineer she learned a lot from him through the process and by using predominantly just an 808 and a PC, the pair produced the main parts of these tracks together, with Cassy finishing them off herself last summer. It reminded her of the weirdness that makes her productions so great, which is what she has pinned on this release, enjoying the feelings of freedom by using the machine again, and revisiting the feelings she had when using the machine for the first time, how fresh, new and particular the sounds were.

A break away from DJing and being reunited with her beloved vinyl collection has re-centered Cassy’s focus; to be wild and free in expression and to set aside any need to fit into any trends, genres, or boxes. As a DJ, producer and singer/songwriter, her prolific force in dance music and reputation for excellence spans two decades, and Cassy is here to stay.

About ‘E.T.Ascension’ EP, Cassy says:

‘The whole idea to this record was to work more like i used to when i was still living in Berlin, when i started working with this setup i felt that the sounds were fresh and it was nice to revisit these feelings using the machine and to reinvigorate my myself with my weirdness in producing music and also my vocals, i felt connected with that part of myself as a producer again. I’m a huge fan of The Persuader and Swedish techno, so I was obviously super happy to be able to work with him. We're doing a remix swap together and I absolutely love the remix he’s done on this release.’'

June 2016 saw Portuguese producer, Pete K, excel with his debut original EP for Proton Music. Now revisiting the title track, "Utopia" sees a trio of new, highly prized remixes.

Greek artist, Dousk, ensconced in Patras, west of Athens, on the Mediterranean coast, has excelled in a glittering musical career. A much sought after artist in both DJ and production arenas, Dousk continues to excite with his unique brand of music. An eponymously titled debut for John Digweed's Bedrock, ensured a name in lights from career outset as Klik, Plusquam and Movement have all played their part in showcasing the Dousk name. Furthermore, some seventy production credits have found their way to the Greek imprint, Vapour, in glittering fashion. A regular on Proton Music since 2013's remix of Tvardovsky, the "Bisocial" EP stood as a landmark moment with the twin-track EP going onto receive a host of remix treatments. Reworking Pete K, the Dousk remix of "Utopia" is full of the trademark rhythm and bass groove that defines his sound. A huge beat and twinkling percussive line lay the foundations for a garrulous vocal sample to wend its way across the track's entirety as occasional melodic riffs and spot effect add depth and intrigue in a fascinating rework.

Australian duo, GMJ and Matter, have both been at the forefront of their country's underground music scene. Both accomplished DJs that have seen performances across the globe, their individual production portfolios are exemplary. Balkan Connection, Clinique and Particles have been staples of GMJ and Matter's solo work with the latter accounting for a number of impressive original GMJ EPs. Similarly, Visceral, has been a constant companion during Matter's production career thus far. Coming together on Proton Music for their debut original release, the "Superordinate" EP laid the foundations for a successful partnership that has seen remixes from icons, Oliver Lieb and Rich Curtis. Now developing their first Proton remix, the GMJ and Matter remix takes "Utopia" on a fast-paced percussive journey with urgency coming from ticking hi-hats and metronomic beat. Clever use of original components sees the remix retain the essence of Pete K's work as a raft of luscious, analogue melodies are part of rich additional production material that takes the track in a subtle new direction with scintillating results.

Dubai based Subandrio is an artist who has continued to make impressive headway in the underground dance environment in a relatively short space of time. Emboldened by multi, "Middle East DJ of the Year" successes in 2009 and 2013, a debut in the shape of the three-track, "Silcone Oasis" EP for Lowbit in 2104, began the Subandrio voyage as a clutch of further material has found its way onto Juicebox Music, Balkan Connection and Flow Vinyl in the past two years. Furthermore, an appearance on Hernan Cattaneo's "Sudbeats 3" compilation cemented a reputation that has continued to grow apace. A pair of remixes coupled with the "Black Box Between", part of the "Fall Particles 2016" compilation, is now followed by a debut remix for the flagship Proton Music. Thus, a chunky and hypnotic percussive groove sits tightly melded to a subterranean bass line, creating a delicious groove and swimming across the left-right spectrum. Sympathetic use of Pete K's original components keeps the essence of "Utopia" intact but a raft of additional production, not least in an intelligent new lead riff, ensures Subandrio continues to earn his seat at the underground's top table.

A musical triptych from Dousk, GMJ and Matter and Subandrio has demonstrated that paradise is still found within Pete K's "Utopia".

Quirky French duo O.N.O have been hard at work this year, making the most of the forced confinement by cooking up some of their most sophisticated work yet.
‘Don’t You Know Feat. Praa’ is a powerful, triumphant track that will lift the spirits. Bordering the lines between slinky nu disco and pumping house, it features sublime, breathy vocals from fellow Parisian newcomer, Praa. Her warm tones glide over a beautiful melange of off-beat disco bass, funked-up synth touches and moody atmospheric touches, all set to a snappy, tight beat. A heady breakdown and massive snare roll build-up kick the track into overdrive, and the mixture of ‘80s mood and driving modern day energy is a truly sumptuous mix.
‘In Spekzion’ rocks an Italo disco vibe in some style, convincingly recreating the muscular vibe of the era. A stuttering, whooping chopped-up vocal loop draws us in, a slowly phasing synth ‘n’ bass arpeggio cutting in sharply as the light beat and gated ‘80s snares explode into life. A swirling, muted synth snarls; another taps out an optimistic melody. Huge snare hits launch us out of the short breakdown, propelling us back towards that deliciously camp and retro vocal hook that recalls the days of primitive samplers with short sample times. The duo say that “the track was inspired by a host of anxiety-inducing information delivered in recent months, a total letting go of reality, a seizure of power over what surrounds us, a positive rebellion, a burst of oxygen.”
Together, these two tracks form a very necessary palette cleanser that will bring you energy and positivity right when you need them most.
