A redoubtable talent with a vast array of music to his name, Andre Sobota returns to Proton Music with another twin-track original EP, "Under the Radar".

An artist always at the top of his production game, Andre Sobota consistently dines at underground music's top table. With the rare ability to appeal to a wide audience with his distinctive rolling grooves and immaculate melodic phrasing, the Brazilian has lit up the industry with a portfolio that is second to none. From remixing Coldplay and Rihanna for behemoth EMI to a magisterial collection of music for the likes of Anjunadeep, Perfecto, Zerothree and microCastle, Sobota has continued to inspire a host of up-and-coming producers with his immaculate attention to detail, hard work and craftsmanship that translates into almost 600 production credits.

Accounting for more than 50 of those credits over a decade, Andre Sobota has been a regular on Proton Music since a debut remixing Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union in November 2009. A month later, the ground-breaking three-track "Outside" EP appeared to critical acclaim and remixes from Ryan Davis, Kassey Voorn and Shingo Nakamura followed. A reworked version of that iconic debut EP appeared in 2014 with the aptly titled "5 Years Outside", while "Fragments", "Concluded", "Unmute" and "Alter Ego" have all gone on to showcase the outstanding production values that represent the Andre Sobota approach to sound design and musical narrative.

Now returning to Proton Music, "Never Ending" is a beautifully arranged track that bristles with muted pads and chest-thumping kick before a growling bassline groove erupts into an exquisite sonic space. A trademark offbeat rolling percussion adds subtle dancefloor flavour while a shimmering, delayed and freeform melody coruscates gently across proceedings, enveloping the listener in rich and warm harmonics. Building imperceptibly into the second half with extended melodic interplay, the result is another triumph.

The title track opens with a whip-cracking kick as a delayed arpeggio and warm pad rises gently in open-filtered fashion. Ticking hi-hats and clicking clave add percussive intricacy, while a subtle bass cadence locked to the rhythmic groove extends "Under the Radar". Hitting the breakdown with a stripped back arpeggio phrasing that swims across the left-right spectrum, the track enters its second half with a continuation of the gloriously smooth melodic flow that showcases Sobota's sound design abilities. By making sublime use of a sonic palette that blends effortlessly in tones, the Sao Paolo resident paints another memorable picture across eight-and-a-half minutes of sonic joy.

Another twin-track EP of the highest quality finds Andre Sobota flying "Under the Radar".
