Trilucid & Phil Martyn have long been associated with high-quality music in a distinguished career. Exceptional DJs and producers in their own rights, their combined talents have reaped impressive rewards. A double century of credits for Trilucid have seen the UK duo hit the heights on the likes of Perfecto, Black Hole and Coldharbour while their "Glint" EP for Proton Music was a September 2019 highlight. Similarly, Phil Martyn has found himself on a blue-chip array of imprints with his work for JOOF, Perspectives Digital and Black Hole. Combined work saw "Gone" feature on Particles in late 2018, while a remix of Stas Drive in March 2019 is now followed by a debut original track in "Astral". Characterised by a strong bouncing bassline groove whose progression adds a touch of emotive class, a series of rich melodic elements rise and fall around it to create a wonderful spine-tingling atmosphere that is certain to find favour with a host of DJs on a global stage. A strong beat and dynamic percussion add further dancefloor appeal as sparkling, delayed riffs provide Sasha-esque quality in the third movement.

Dmitry Molosh is an artist who consistently dines at underground music's top table with his incredible music. Able to transport his listeners on a wave of emotion through production work that has found its way onto a host of high-profile imprints that include Sudbeat Music, Hope and Replug, the Belarusian artist has seen his music supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo. Over 400 production credits tell their own story and a Proton Music debut remixing Kastis Torrau's "Route 88" was another notable highlight in August 2019. Returning to remix Trilucid & Phil Martyn, the Dmitry Molosh remix is a chugging combination of bass and rhythmic flair that builds on the dynamic bassline of the original. Taking the melodic essence of "Astral" and building on it with an array of production material, new motifs shimmer across the mid-range in atmospheric fashion, building to a crescendo in a storming breakdown that then drops back into glorious, head-shaking rhythm in the third movement.

Completing the EP, Steve Haines debuts on Proton Music with his Bluum production moniker. Responsible for a string of melodic gems under his own name, the UK resident has hit a rich vein of form with his new alter-ego. The Paul Thomas led UV has been a regular home to the Bluum name with a raft of original and remix material that has seen him find success with the likes of "Weyland", "Kepler" and "Rodea" while also remixing Jan Johnston, Paul Thomas and Aly & Fila. Furthermore, mau5trap, JOOF and Mango Alley have all featured Bluum's work. A debut for Particles remixing Rudy's "Real You" was a further high point as he now debuts on Proton Music with a stunning reworking of Trilucid & Phil Martyn. Making clever use of percussive hooks to anchor the track, familiar melodic phrases filter through the rhythmic framework before a glorious new arpeggio sequence explodes into the front of the mix. A spine-tingling key change at the breakdown paves the way for a dynamic second half that truly captures the essence of the original, taking it in a new and vibrant direction.

Heaven-made sounds from Trilucid & Phil Martyn see "Astral" rocket skywards with remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Bluum.
