VIRTUA Premieres 2025

Proton Premieres 2025

An artist with a long, rich and varied history with Proton, Erdi Irmak has always been at the vanguard of the organica sound. Now he returns to the flagship label with a brand-new original track in "Nightwalker".

Over 70 production credits span the Erdi Irmak portfolio on both the Particles and Proton Music labels, a 2013 debut on the former quickly leading to the high watermark, "You're Either Guilty or Not Guilty" full-length album a year later. The "You in Me" and "Night" EPs opened the Turkish artist's account on Proton Music, before the "Hidden Arcadia" series quickly found its feet. 7 volumes later and a veritable smorgasbord of stunning original material and high-class remixes from the likes of Amháin, Rauschhaus and Nōpi, has seen Erdi form a special and organic relationship with the label as his music and production techniques have evolved over a 4-year period since "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 1" debuted in late 2018.

Now returning with the smooth sounds of "Nightwalker", a deep and rolling percussive groove sits perfectly alongside a bassline full of subtle vibrancy. Female vocal cuts create a dancefloor energy as they add to the layered-groove effect while an analogue lead line creates a new and emotive direction at the breakdown. Extending into the second half, the return of familiar rhythmic components and cadenced vocals create another stunning track.

Adding to the EP, a delicate "2024 Retouch" of a pair of tracks from the "Hidden Arcadia" series supply another classy touch. From Vol. 2 a new version of "Echoes in Time" extends the rhythmic poise of the original while further developing the central melodic themes of the original. Additional vocal touches and a deep, smooth vibe create a perfect reworking a track and demonstrate how far Erdi's production skills have developed. Similarly, Vol. 4's "The Floating Bridge of Heaven" is another deep organic house interpretation that is centred around a silky rolling groove and meandering melodic flow. Retaining the central melodic ideas, counterpoint phrases and more uptempo vibe, generate a dancefloor friendly track that is perfect for Ibiza sunsets and sun-kissed terraces.

Continuing to show a unique craft and passion for his music, Erdi Irmak emerges into bright sunlight with his "Nightwalker" EP.

Nightwalker

A hugely respected figure within Proton Music folklore, Igal Magitman returns to the flagship imprint with another twin-track EP of sublime splendour. With a triple century of production credits dating back to early collaborative work with Roman Brisker, the Magitman name has always been allied with a host of blue-chip imprints that include Global Underground, Spinnin' Records and Renaissance.

Topping the list of most featured labels is Proton Music and over 30 credits dating back to a 2008 debut. Since then, 2012's "Cleaning Day", 2017's "Recovery", 2021's "To the Mood and Back" and November 2023's "Daybreak", have consistently seen Magitman dining at Progressive House's top table with a buffet of tasty musical morsels.

Now hitting the heights once again, "Dreamscape" is worthy of the name with a gorgeous cast of rhythmic and melodic actors. Characterised by a smooth and emotive sustained bassline, a rippling arpeggio and shimmering keys add to the otherworldly quality, as do the ethereal vocal breaths. Building in intensity, an intricate motif plays out with gradual open-filtered intensity atop rich piano chords. The result is delicious blend of counterpoint melody, propelled forward by a deep kick, off-beat claps and ticking percussive hats.

Named after a star in the constellation of Aquila, "Tarazed" is a beautifully crafted affair that hits its mark with a shuffling hi-hat pattern and deeply resonant kick. A syncopated bass pattern and melodic counterpart soon enter the fray while a synth motif adds further variation. Full of vibrant energy, the multi-layered melodies pause for breath at a stripped back breakdown before the kick is re-introduced underneath a muted melodic backdrop as a snare roll heralds a return to the mesmerising phrasing of earlier movements. Building to a powerful denouement, yet another fizzing melody is added to a thoroughly modern and exultant take on the house genre.

Another powerful musical vision sees Magitman once again at the summit of underground house with "Dreamscape / Tarazed".

Erdi Irmak - Nightwalker

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.
