Forerunners return to Sudbeat with his first full EP - Fear is the Mind Killer. 

Bursting onto the scene some 8 years ago, Arizona-based Brenden LaBonte (or Forerunners to his fans) has quickly progressed up the ladder with music signed to an impressive list of high profile labels including Perfecto, Pure Progressive, Anjunadeep and more. His signature slow build style is perfect for us, and we are excited to present these immersive and emotional tracks. 

Opening with a carnival of beats is 'Fear is the Mind Killer'. Melodic layers ebb and fade over the opening bars adding tension. Bass and spiky sonics in the midsection indicate a definite energy rise with the main break becoming an oasis from the chaos that powers from the drop in the final third. 'Distant Signal' with its Bladerunner-esque dystopian keys is a darker, more insistent partner. Elegant pads and choppy arps add interest to this heads-down stomper for just before dawn ushers in reality.

Supported by DJs across the world, particular attention has been paid by the dance industry’s glitterati that features John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Laurent Garnier, to name but an elite few.

PREMIERE: Chris Cargo - Aurora (Original Mix) [IF YOU WAIT]

Bodashin and Lupe Republic is joining forces in creation of a deep organic track leading Amulanga’s 13 track Autumn Sampler VA. 

"Marina" is a song that takes you to a state of joy, to a state of positivity. It is the proper name of our music studio, located in the city of Barcelona, where we composed many songs, including "Marina". It is a transmuting place, where we let the negative become joy, hope, and illusion through music and creation. We want to give people a moment of illusion and hope. A fun moment. A moment to dream and fulfill our desires.

LTR Premiere: Bodaishin & Lupe Republic - Marina [Amulanga]

An artist with an impressive collection of production credits since January 2018's debut for his own Flug Lab imprint, Lisandro is a growing force within the underground dance scene. A film-scoring artist for Netflix while simultaneously finding his works signed to the likes of Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Armen Miran's Hoomidaas and Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto, the Argentinean star has hit the heights with a trio of remixes for Proton Music thus far.

Now returning to the label with the twin-tracks, "Love" and "Traditions", the opener finds the Buenos Aires resident creating a progressive house gem with its popping rhythmic backdrop and snapping kick. Progressing effortlessly, emotive melodies swirl in stereo-panned patterns while ethereal vocals blend with white-noise risers and a generous coating of reverb and delay. Pausing for breath at the mid-point, showcasing the smooth harmonies, the second half revives the rolling rhythmic groove to mesmerising effect. "Traditions" continues the strong rhythmic character of its partner track and thickly textured pads supply the perfect backdrop for a mono synth lead to create a summery earworm motif that feels drenched in Southern Hemisphere sun. Evolving elegantly, the track opens up post-breakdown where rolling groove and beautiful harmonies blend together to create a warm sonic glow that is further enhanced with the addition of a beatless version that showcases Lisandro's sumptuous production.

Another Argentinean to place his stamp firmly on the modern progressive house scene, Lucas Rossi was heavily influenced by legends of the scene including Digweed, Warren and fellow countryman, Hernan Cattaneo. A regular DJ across his homeland, the Córdoba resident has seen a double century of production credits find their way onto the likes of Hoomidaas, onedotsixtwo and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, supported by the UK icon himself. A trio of Particles remixes between 2017-2019 and a further pair on Proton Music at either end of 2021 have seen Lucas Rossi display a prodigious production talent as he returns with a scintillating remix of "Traditions". Capturing the sonic essence of the original, a chunky rhythmic foundation provides the backdrop for a beautiful new free-flowing piano sequence to wend itself across the track, as original elements from Lisandro's track play in perfect harmony underneath. Creating a subtly different musical vibe with his delicate treatment, the Lucas Rossi remix builds in the second half to impressive multi-faceted effect.

Toronto based, Beije have been quite a production force since their early work for Manual Deep and Polyptych in the first half of 2019. Since then, the duo has gone on to see their work feature on a host of esteemed imprints, with the likes of Café De Anatolia, 3rd Avenue and Amulanga all playing host to a wealth of original and remix production material. Both Particles and Proton Music have seen a single remix from the Canadian pair as Beije now return to Proton after March 2022's reworking of Juan Deminicis. With a sparkling reworking of "Love" that transforms the original track, Beije take the track on a glorious new rhythmic jaunt that builds upon the laid-back foundations of the original. An immaculate new beat and percussive cadence create a smooth, club-friendly interpretation that makes superb use of the original parts in a new melodic sequence that is further enhanced by a beautiful piano motif that runs through the 7-minute track. The result is another jewel in the glistening Beije crown.

Premiere | Luke Santos & Arturo Hevia - Nymphlight Playground (Marcelo Vasami Flutes Remix)

A Proton Music regular, Andre Sobota has led the vanguard of underground dance with a catalogue of cross-genre tracks. June 2018 saw the release of the stunning "Robots" EP now rebooted with a pair of new remixes.

An artist with a sizeable reputation that continues to grow at an exponential rate, Luka Sambe has come a long way since an early debut for Looked Records in August 2014. Indeed, a double-century of releases has seen the Australian sign his music to some of the industry's most influential underground imprints. A regular on the likes of Cid Inc.'s Replug, Guy J's Lost and Found and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat has seen a raft of original releases find their way on to the setlists of the DJ elite and June 2018's "Rululu" for the Cattaneo led imprint providing a quartet of tracks of the highest quality. 

The "Family Tree" was a notable 2016 highlight for Particles and, having recently remixed Dan Sieg's "Something's Not Clicking Right" alongside Quivver for Mango Alley, Proton Music is honoured to welcome Luka Sambe to the label with an outstanding reworking of "Held Over". With intricate detail and exquisite precision, a hypnotic percussive groove paves the way for a beautiful and shimmering play on Sobota's melodic phrasing. Evolving delicately, a meandering, freeform motif builds to a mid-point zenith before a huge beat and seismic bassline drop into the third movement with additional pitched elements providing the perfect juxtaposition.

Award winning Middle East DJ on multiple occasions, Subandrio Sinhawansa continues to carve out an ever-expanding career within the underground dance scene. Scintillating performances behind the decks has seen a host of global appearances captivate audiences with spell-binding sets while a production career has also provided considerable success. A distinctive "deep, dark melodic frequency palette" has led to over 150 production credits across a host of high-profile imprints that include, Perspectives Digital, Balkan Connection and January 2018's "Fugue State of Mind" on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music. A regular on Particles with remixes of Andre Sobota and Lanvary combined with appearances on the seasonal Particles compilation series, a trio of remixes on Proton Music for Pete K, Tim Penner and, most recently, Matter's "We Are Dust" in May 2018, is now followed by a fourth.

Taking on the title track, the Subandrio remix of "Robots" is an intelligent reworking of Sobota's original as strong beat and rapid-fire percussive hi-hat groove provide the perfect foundations for a luscious melodic tapestry to weave itself into the rhythmic pattern. Using components from the original to great effect to create a launching pad for his own production material, a coruscating arpeggio and plucked motifs combine effortlessly with huge white-noise washes and pulsating bassline to great effect.

Remixes from Luka Sambe and Subandrio have created a free-flowing movement for Andre Sobota's "Robots".
