An artist with an impeccable production portfolio, Dimuth K has become an established force in the underground dance scene with his atmospheric sound. Returning to Proton Music he excels once more with "Avalanche / The Shaman".

Since a move to Toronto, Dimuth wasted little time by throwing himself into the dance scene of his newly adopted homeland, performing at iconic venues including Stereo Montreal, Coda and Guy J's We Are Lost Festival. As accomplished behind the decks as he is in the studio, the award-winning Dimuth K has produced standout releases for the likes of Mango Alley, Hoomidaas, Plattenbank and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile. Dimuth's "Minesweeper / Beams Aglow" EP for Proton Music was another powerful reminder of the Sri Lankan-born Canadian's production credentials as the global lockdown began in March 2020.

Now returning to Proton, "Avalanche" is characterised by a fizzing percussive groove and heavy beat. Driven by rapid-fire shakers, acid-tinged synth motifs filter in and out of sonic range in the early stages. Accompanied by atmospheric pads, glassy motifs evolve out of the aural melange and into a beatless breakdown full of white-noise risers and effects. Heavily coated in sumptuous reverb, the track builds into the second half with its combination of pads and floating melodies. The result is a gorgeous, free-flowing affair that showcases Dimuth K's production skills.

Partner track, "The Shaman" hits the ground running with its cavernous kick and lilting top-line percussion. A delicious bass groove soon enters the fray in perfect syncopation while ethereal melodies drift across the near 9-minute piece with gentle ease. Simultaneously, an off-kilter motif hypnotises with its distinctive cadence and hypnotic phrasing. Continuing into the stripped back mid-point break, "The Shaman" picks up again where it left off in a third movement, full of poise and other-worldly sonic fragments. The combination of rhythm, bass and meandering melody makes for an elegant finale.

Through two new tracks of the highest order, Dimuth K cascades into a new sonic future with "Avalanche / The Shaman".
