VIRTUA Premieres

2023 Premieres

After a host of impressive releases on Proton Music dating back to late 2013, James Monro launched his "Sanctuary" series in November 2020 with a typical style and panache. "Vol. 2" followed in late 2021 as the UK artist now returns with a third volume combining a trio of original pieces plus a pair of standout remixes. The "Isolator" opener is a smooth downtempo piece infused with meandering jazz-infused melodies. Effortlessly building energy through intelligent use of an expanding rhythmic backdrop, a strong bassline with growling accents and dynamic effects provides a rousing finale. The power of Rockers Unite" is in immediate evidence via a glissando bassline that drives the heavy beat and hypnotic top-line through a gently evolving sweep. A delicate arpeggio adds to the melodic flow as vocal cuts and white-noise infused pads open-up post breakdown to a glorious and imaginative zenith. Characterised by a chunky rhythmic framework and deep bass sequence, "Reflex" gently evolves over its near 9-minute timeframe as each movement is introduced with a percussive and melodic element. Gently pulsing pads and atmospheric vocal sample add to the sultry atmosphere, while a joyous synth motif enters the fray post-breakdown.

Award-winning Jamie Stevens has become a Proton Music regular since a remix of Rudy's "All Things Fade" in 2019. Reworkings of Petar Dundov and Magitman have followed in December 2020 and June 2021 while the Australian artist, renowned for his work on the likes of Bedrock, Lost & Found and microCastle, now returns to Proton with an outstanding interpretation of "Another Weirdo". Originally part of "Sanctuary, Vol. 1", Jamie Sevens applies his trademark technique and craftsmanship to create a vibrant new version that shimmers with filtered arpeggio that is rooted firmly in James Monro's original. Evolving atop heavy beat and strong off-beat percussion, the track pauses for breath at the mid-point before building once more into sparkling sunlit offering that is certain to fill dancefloors across the globe.

A second remix sees the return of Sylvain Guiraud under his Clawz SG moniker. A Steyeyoke resident with over 150 production credits on the Soul Button led label, the French artist has created quite a stir on Proton Music with his 2019 "Domuyo" and 2021 "Urania" EPs that have included remixes from such prominent artists as Jonas Saalbach and Robert Babicz. Now returning to Proton with a debut remix, the Clawz SG interpretation of "Injected with a Serum" is a glorious melodic techno infused track that replaces the broken beat rhythm with a ticking four-to-the-floor powerhouse. A sublime growling bassline gradually emerges, built upon Monro's closing section, as a mesmerising arpeggio then provides the perfect juxtaposition. A bassline mirrored leads adds further weight in the second half to a spectacular conclusion.

Finding refuge in music, James Monro continues to inspire and soothe through "Sanctuary, Vol. 3".

Sanctuary, Vol. 3

There is no bigger name in the world of underground house music than Nick Muir. An influential figure since the 1990s and co-founder of the artist duo, Bedrock, with John Digweed, the UK artist has consistently found himself dining at dance music's top table alongside the likes of Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo and Sasha. A multi-instrumentalist and session pianist before entering a fledgling dance industry in the early 1990s, Nick's career highlights read like a wish list for any aspiring DJ the world over. From performances in every corner of the globe to festivals and headline slots at leading club nights, Nick's production career has seen a double century of credits on the Bedrock imprint, while a further slew of original and remix credits can be found on the likes of Vapour Recordings, Perspectives Digital and Robert Babicz's Babiczstyle.

A trio of remixes for Proton Music between 2019 and 2021 have seen reworkings of Rick Pier O'Neil, Sebastian Sellares and Eric Lune as we welcome Nick Muir for his debut original release. "All One Word" is a progressive powerhouse that builds in majestic fashion over its 7-minute duration. Adding layers of sound atop a driving beat and hypnotic percussion, smooth pads and cadenced synth stabs play out alongside a meandering analogue motif that develops effortlessly at the beatless breakdown. Hitting its stride once more and developing into a pulsating dancefloor stormer in the final movement, Nick Muir's production credentials are in full evidence.

An iconic pairing who epitomise the modern progressive house scene, GMJ & Matter have found fame and a calendar full of bookings across their Australian homeland and far beyond its borders. Contemporaneously, a production career has seen the Melbourne-based duo join forces on a century of production credits, often for their own Meanwhile imprint as well as the likes of Anjunadeep, Replug and Balance Music. Regulars on Proton Music since 2016 with their "Superposition", "Interscope" and "Osmosis" EPs, plus remixes for Juan Deminicis, Andre Sobota and Pole Folder, the GMJ & Matter remix of "All One Word" revels in the trademark rhythms of the original as a glorious new arpeggio and deep atmospheric pads emerge out of the percussive collage. Paying tribute to the components found in Nick Muir's work, the track rises and falls with dancefloor ease and melodic sensibility before a huge bassline sequence provides a seething, brooding club monster in the final movement.

"All One Word" sees Nick Muir provide an eloquent soliloquy before GMJ & Matter combine to strike the right chord.

Welcoming a new collaborative pairing to Meanwhile Horizons, Jiminy Hop & Dofamine join forces for a debut EP in the shape of “Veresk / Yoke”.

An established figure within the underground dance fraternity, Konstantin Kuranakov continues to strengthen his reputation through the Jiminy Hop moniker. An accomplished DJ with production credentials to rival any, his music has been a fixture on such esteemed imprints as Plaisirs Sonores, Colorize and Juicebox Music. A pair of original EPs have followed on GMJ & Matter’s flagship imprint as March 2022’s “Johlin” and September’s “Levera / Agmoli” hit Meanwhile. A similarly impressive artist, Dofamine can boast almost a double century of production credits to his name dating back to a Stripped Digital debut in mid-2014. Since then, releases for Clinique Recordings, Bonzai Progressive, Suffused Music and Stellar Fountain have lit up the progressive house scene. Although remixing Jiminy Hop for Just Movement and Shambhala Music in 2016 and 2017, the duo now join forces for the first time to create a magical twin-track EP.

“Veresk” quickly establishes itself with potent percussive foundation and fizzing shaker pattern. Textured pads and free-flowing melodic lines create the sensation of warm dappled sunlight as they gradually build into longer sequences and coruscating patterns. Pausing for breath at a stripped back breakdown, white-noise swirls and rich sonic layers emerge unencumbered before the track hits its stride one more in the second half with a deep rolling groove and a new light synth motif.

A cavernous sub-bass and metronomic beat characterise the opening stages of “Yoke” as a pulsating white-noise backdrop sits perfectly against a shimmering arpeggio. Evolving easily, an emotive key change adds subtle dynamism as new melodic elements are introduced, not least through a beautiful piano sequence that extends into a sublime and atmospheric break. Gradually building once more with vibrant dance-friendly rhythm and subterranean bass, “Yoke” enters its third movement with a cast of complementary synth lines and smooth rising energy. The result is a powerful and impressive track full of poise and craft.

Showing rare talent and immaculate production skill, Jiminy Hop & Dofamine have come together to create a seamless partnership with “Veresk /Yoke”.

Dummy Splash & Oiseau de nuit are back with their first-ever collaboration, a 2-track EP titled "Saudita". This exciting release showcases the best of both producers, resulting in two distinct tracks that highlight their individual and collective strengths.

The first track, "Saudita", is an energetic blend of deep, weighed-down patterns and percussive grooves, creating a unique listening experience that is sure to get your head bouncing.

The second track, "Olema", is a slow, dubby groover with a touch of jazzy feels, highlighting their ability to create a lush and immersive soundscape.

The power of collaboration and the creativity that arises when two talented individuals come together is truly unique and demonstrates the power of a collective. We will be welcoming new artists on Phases, as we will follow this release with some exciting remixes.

We hope you'll enjoy !

Tracklist:
01. Ric Niels - Pirate(Original Mix)
02. Ric Niels - Psyncopath (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
A rising star from South America, Ric Niels has lit up the progressive house scene over the past three years. Now joining the Proportion roster, the Argentinean artist releases his “Pirate / Psyncopath” EP.

Renowned for his evocative and emotive sound, Ric Niels has found himself courted by some of the finest modern imprints through his fusing of analogue and digital synths to create a blend of deep, organic and tech sounds. As such, his music has found a welcome home on such celebrated imprints as The Soundgarden, Particles, Plaisirs Sonores and Mango Alley. Almost a half-century of production credits can thus be found for the latter in both solo and collaborative guises with Ric seeing work with Dowden, The Wash and Mango himself grace the Russian imprint.

Supported by an elite DJ cast list that includes the likes of Nick Warren, Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo and Henry Saiz, it is not difficult to see why the Argentinean from Chaco Province has continued to be such a sought-after producer within the progressive house fraternity. Opening his Proportion account with a scintillating musical diptych, “Pirate” immediately grabs listener attention with its pounding beat and deep bassline groove. Light percussive touches pervade the dense sonic layers as trademark melodic prowess reveals itself through a dynamic dancefloor backdrop. Cascading synth lines and delay-infused arpeggios ripple across the soundstage, coming to the fore at a striped back breakdown before a growling bass riff heralds an exciting final movement full of potency and drive.

Pulling the listener in with a shaker-fuelled percussive line and chest-thumping kick, “Psyncopath” provides the hallmark rhythmic poise for which Ric Niels has become renowned for. Full of sinister menace, a creeping bassline pattern and textured pads swim dizzyingly across the stereo spectrum in the early stages before a filtered arpeggio wends its way onto the main stage with poise and verve. Infused with white-noise at a mid-point chock full of sonic layers and captivating melodic characters, the final movement drives effortlessly forward as the hypnotic groove once again finds it mark.

Lighting up the stage on Proportion, Ric Niels delivers another moment of mesmerising magic with his “Pirate / Psyncopath” EP.

Premiere: Anjei, Anjei & Ego - A Guy Called Ra (Erdi Irmak Remix Version 1) [Songuara]

When Proton Music's friends at Dear Deer contacted us about an exciting new project, collaboration between Anton Ishutin and Leusin provided a high quality "Presence", further extended by remixes from the talented artist roster from both stables.

Anton Ishutin has risen rapidly in deep house and indie dance circles. A polished sound has seen work feature heavily on the Dear Deer imprint since 2013's pairing with Anturage produced the "Drunk Girl" EP. Since then, a clutch of other releases and remixes have surfaced while further work for Pepper Cat, Four Peas and Nuevadeep have cemented a reputation built upon support from the likes of M.A.N.D.Y., Kolombo and Dinka. Joining forces, on this occasion, with the vocal talents of Leusin, "Presence" is a sublime journey through striking percussive beats and haunting vocals that carry a blend of textured pads, emotive melodies and strong bass line to mesmerising effect. With an effortless use of space, "Presence" and its accompanying dub are works of class.

Tim Embliss needs no introduction to the Proton Music faithful. A connoisseur of the electronic music scene since 2007's debut and an important figure in the progressive breaks sound so prevalent in the mid 2000s, Embliss' sound has matured and evolved in recent years to become extremely well respected and supported by labels and peers alike. Armada, Anjunadeep and Silk Royal have all played host to Embliss' considerable talents as his work has seen support form Jaytech, Matt Darey and fellow countryman, Eelke Kleijn. A regular on Proton Music since 2008, it was 2013's "Stronghold" EP that marked a watershed moment in Embliss' recent production career with a shift to a deeper, much sought after sound. Extending his skill set into the deep house arena, the Embliss remixes of "Presence" demonstrate an individual with passion and talent as a huge bass line provides a strong anchor for subtle percussive hats and striking reverb-soaked lead to play off the vocal arrangement of the original. A sure and classy touch from Embliss has provided "Presence" with a gold standard rework.

Russian star, Andrea Kinly has formerly shone behind the scenes with AandR for Tvardovsky owned, Stereo Paradise. Currently head of Maywin, Kinly's own incipient production career began with 2013's "Internal Confusion" EP with AudioAndrew for Deadfunk Music. Going on to represent Funkpony and Stop!Waiting, Kinly now follows up a further collaboration with AudioAndrew for 2014's "Dear Deer Friends, Vol. 2" compilation as "Dreams" were realised. Taking on "Presence", the Kinly remix retains Leusin's haunting vocals and the enveloping sounds of the original, backed by a muted kick drum that expands to include metronomic house beats as the track evolves. Additional production material forces its way to the fore in incongruous juxtaposition as arpeggio and harmonica effect provide a powerful edge. The stripped back dub version then makes its play with a series of textures and effects in organic fashion.

Six tracks of perfect symmetry combining the remix talents of Embliss and Kinly have provided Anton Ishutin and Leuisn with a strong "Presence" from which success is assured.

Amare Remixes Chapter II BM015

Premiere: Valeron - Erebos (Sangeet´s Cosmic Fullmoon Mix) [Bercana]

Hitting the Proton Music release catalogue in July 2017, the "Glass Elevator" EP was a highlight in the summer schedule. As we now return to the title work, a pair of new remixes from a hugely talented quartet take the track to new heights.

Renowned and hugely respected within the underground dance arena, Michael and Levan and Stiven Rivic have been at the forefront of the scene for well over a decade. Finding success with a debut on Tilth Music in 2007, Georgia based, Michael and Levan teamed up with Croatian producer and close friend, Stiven Rivic, to create one of the most successful collaborative partnerships. Multi-talented and a professional athlete in the case of Rivic, the trio founded the hugely influential Mistique Music and Kunai Records imprints to impressive effect with the "State of Liberty" debut coming on the former in April 2009. Never looking back, Michael and Levan and Stiven Rivic have found themselves allied to a host of blue chip labels that include Perspectives Digital, JOOF and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat.

Making a statement of intent with a debut remix of Andre Sobota's "Concluded" for Proton Music in May 2017, September's "Gamma Rays" represented a first original release alongside a pair of outstanding remixes. Now returning to the label, the Michael and Levan and Stiven Rivic remix takes the core rhythmic groove of "Glass Elevator" and takes it firmly into dance floor friendly territory with a pounding beat and wonderfully evolving melodic components. Erupting at the mid-point a huge eight-note stab hypnotically pulses across the track's third movement with a chorus of outstanding additional production material.

Making significant waves in a very short timeframe, French producer, Ahmad Qatramiz, has risen to prominence with his Quatri moniker and a unique blend of deep house and electronica to create "electronic, organic emotional, music". Aiming to bring emotional content through analogue sounds and club friendly tracks, Quatri's work for German imprint, Nie Wieder Schlafen, has been exceptional. Centred around the "Into the Oblivion" EP in late 2017, the triptych provided a window into the French producer's musical soul with accompanying remixes from Kincaid and Rudy. Now debuting on Proton Music with a stunning reworking of "Glass Elevator", Quatri has created a wonderful dark and brooding interpretation that imbues the original with a deliciously laid-back rhythmic cadence and subterranean kick. Developing subtly over a near ten-minute voyage, an organic lead provides elegant vibrato detail that is then accompanied by a counterpoint melody that has its origins in wooden pan-pipes that flutter across the mid-range with coruscating delays that pan the stereo spectrum. Resonating the melodic themes of "Glass Elevator", Quatri's skill is to take them and extend them into innovative directions to create a work of genuine skill and craft.

A pair of remixes from Michael and Levan, Stiven Rivic and Quatri find the "Glass Elevator" shimmering and sparkling in a new aural glow.

Hoomidaas was once a glimmer in Armen Miran’s eye. He began to pursue the label long after moving to Los Angeles. “Road to You” continues what’s been a wild ride! In only his third release, Nohan appears alongside countrymen Nicolas Rada, Lisandro and Marian. The young Argentinian draws attention to female vox by placing them atop crisp percussive lines.
