@deeparturenl: just beautiful. Been waiting for this ever since I heard it on @lane8music 's spring mixtape. Nice work!

would be great to transition it into the psychemagik dreams remix right here during a set

It's hard to believe that it will be exactly two years ago since we launched our beloved label. It really has flown by in the blink of an eye. And so, to mark the occasion of 24 successful months in business, we bring you release number 24. You could call it OCD behaviour but we like to think of it as symmetry ;-)

Step forward Mr Jaap Ligthart, a Dutchman who has been on our radar for some time now with a number of fantastic edits and reworkings but is now making the natural transition into original productions. Together with Ms. Alice Rose, a vocalist who's pass credits include guesting on tracks for the likes of Gabriel Ananda and Eagles & Butterflies, they've created something rather special. 

‘I Know Change’ is a sensuous piece of work. Deep House in the very real sense of the phrase. 
And that is something that our remixers on this project have truly understood. Both Him Self Her and Show-B have delivered exquisite interpretations that give the whole package an overriding sense of class and quality. 

Him Self Her keep things deep and moody with a restrained, atmospheric, sophisticated piece of work, whilst Show-B heads into slightly tougher territory encapsulated by some distinctive rollercoaster percussion effects that have already seen Ame, Dixon, Sasha, Mano Le Tough & Adratique showing their support. And if all that wasn’t enough, they both deliver vocal free dubs too! 

So then, just to recap, it’s hotter than Megan Fox in Agent Provocateur and cooler than a Polar Bear’s toenails. What’s not to like?

Yours blissfully,
The Selador Sect

Nurturing and promoting fresh and exciting talents has always been an integral part of the Proton Music mission statement. With the Netherlands a creative hotbed for the entire dance music industry, it is therefore with great pleasure that we welcome Deeparture to the label with his outstanding "Flight of Imagination" EP.

From the cultural hub, Amsterdam resident, Dominique Vijverberg, has risen rapidly among the ranks of the underground dance community in double quick time. Carefully building a reputation for exquisitely crafted and innovatively programmed dance music, using his Deeparture production soubriquet, Vijverberg, has already caught the attention of the industry's most celebrated names.

Early work for a clutch of imprints saw the Dutch producer dabble in the world of electronic music. However, it was with the airline industry inspired, "Purcer EP", for Dutch imprint, WEITER, in March 2017, that the Deeparture sound really began as Vijverberg took centre stage. Commanding attention with a pair of tracks that have been supported by the likes Hernan Cattaneo, Guy Mantzur and fellow countryman, Eelke Kleijn, the Deeparture name took off with soaring success.

With a forthcoming release on Cinematique to come, Proton Music now opens the door on a promising new career for the Dutch talent, as the twin track "Flight of Imagination" EP showcases Deeparture's extraordinary talent.

Inspired by a holiday in the central Cuban city, "Trinidad" is full of the joyous melodic flair that has become a staple of the Deeparure sound. A sunlit vocal phrase combines with melodic riffs and sequences in a rich blend of counterpoint. Coupled with a dominant beat and open hi-hat percussive rhythm, a soaring breakdown provides the perfect counterweight for a grooving dance floor gem.

Partner track, "Dreamliner", takes its vision from the Boeing 787 aircraft of the same name. Similarly redolent in the percussive groove of its predecessor, a melodic riff full of earworm ingenuity sits alongside elegant chord progressions and sublime floor-filling bass line. As the melodic sequences evolve across the seven-minute flight, Deeparture's skill is brought fully to the fore in a work that is replete with a joyous vibrancy that epitomises his technique and flair.

Deeparture's "Flight of Imagination" is sure to signal a voyage of success with two tracks of the highest quality.

Since launching in early 2016, the Explorations series returns for its fourth outing. Having previously welcomed artists such as Theo Kottis, Tontario, Modd and Luttrell to the label, ‘Anjunadeep Explorations 04’ introduces more new faces to the family.

Previously one-half of production duo Journeyman, Dom Furlonge makes his debut outing under his new Antic alias with EP opener ‘And I Pray’. Dom showcases his own vocals and distinctive production flair on this quirky club cut.

Our second track brings together the Bath-based duo Kotu and Munich’s Sam Goku on ‘Ascension’, blending a subtle rolling bassline with soaring strings and sparse piano to wonderful effect. A much sought after ID from recent Anjunadeep Editions from James Grant and Dom Donnelly.

Next up is emerging German talent Ben Böhmer with ‘Flug & Fall’. Ben fuses organic elements, vocal chanting and warm melodic grooves in this uplifting number.

Closing the EP, Melbourne’s GMJ and Matter debut with throwback progressive gem ‘Earthless’.
