Impressive DJs and producers in their own rights, Andrea Cassino & Greenage have both found themselves featured on a host of blue chip labels. With a career stretching back some 20 years, May 2017 saw Andrea Cassino's "Divine" hit Proton Music followed by remixes from Magitman and Deeparture. A Proton Music debutant, Greenage has found considerable success with a double century of production credits for the likes of Stellar Fountain, Juicebox Music and Mango Alley. Combining their considerable forces, the title track opens with a reverb-laden percussive top line before dancefloor-oriented bassline groove and heavy beat create a strong rhythmic framework. Building effortlessly with angelic vocal layers and wave-like pads, "Losing Part of Me" waxes and wanes through its different phases as a Tangerine Dream inspired arpeggio makes its presence felt at the breakdown and into the third movement. The result is a majestic piece of progressive house. "Agua of Life" continues the rich bassline groove as off-beat percussive hats make their play alongside rippling motifs that carry the cadenced melodic narrative of its predecessor. Vocal layers once again play their part as the track hits its stride in the second half with consummate ease and impressive craftsmanship.

A remarkable producer with almost 500 production credits to his name since a 2011 debut, Dmitry Molosh's star burns brightly in the underground dance firmament. His distinctive sound has won him fans and plaudits far beyond his native Belarus with support from Nick Warren, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo amongst others. A quartet of stellar remixes for Proton Music have included reworkings of Navid Mehr, Kastis Torrau and Trilucid & Phil Martyn while a debut original EP is set to follow. Returning with a typically impressive reworking of "Losing Part of Me", the Dmitry Molosh remix is an immaculate production that retains the head-shaking bassline character of the original while extending it through mirrored melodies that rise and fall with filtered ease. Layers of sound entwine in a multi-faceted sonic landscape that cleverly reinterprets Cassino and Greenage's central line, before exploding into the second half with dark dancefloor power and light melodic touch.

Cream & Deep Fog are mainstays of the progressive house scene with their distinctive sonic character and impressive production skills. Highly respected, hard-working DJs in their native Poland, the duo share over a century of production credits together with 2015's "Neverland" EP on Particles a notable highlight. A pair of remixes for Proton Music in the shape of interpretations of GMJ & Matter and Trilucid in 2018 and 2019 is now joined by a third. The Cream & Deep Fog remix of "Agua of Life" is a sumptuous reworking that revels in clever percussive layer and deep resonant kick that paves the way for the vocal layers from the original to lilt gently across proceedings alongside opulently textured pads. Evolving elegantly, the core melodic theme filters into sonic range, taking centre stage at the breakdown as additional production material from the duo's arsenal creates a dynamic and explosive second half.

Creating a powerful musical force with their original music plus remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Cream & Deep Fog, Andrea Cassino & Greenage are in no danger "Losing Part of Me".
