The "Hidden Arcadia" series has seen Erdi Irmak curate a wonderful collection of music. Now entering its third incarnation, a pair of brand-new original tracks are paired with two outstanding new remixes courtesy of UK and Argentinean artists.

Adding to a five-year long association with the flagship imprint and burgeoning portfolio of original tracks under the "Hidden Arcadia" banner, "Awakening" is a typically immaculate affair. Full of intricate rhythms and rolling groove that takes its influence from Irmak's Turkish origins, a series of grooved motifs and chords play across the mid-range before a meandering lead line and sublime keys add multiple layers of textured melody. Evolving throughout, Irmak's craftmanship and musical ability are in full view. "Reflection" continues the same rhythmic palette as its predecessor, but a laid-back percussive cadence and languid melodic overtones provide an apt aural representation of the title. A rich bass groove carries the track hypnotically forward as a flowing lead line supplies an intelligent musical narrative given electronic context with its background of cadenced chords.

Through their work with the ground-breaking Oleeva Records, Tom Chambers and Will Spence have created a model that merges the twin concepts of music and art into a single symbiotic whole. At the vanguard of the electronica and deep house scene, the duo's Kotu production moniker has seen their production talent on full display. Through a belief in the "mysterious, often unexplainable power of music and sound", Kotu have found themselves regulars on the likes of Nie Wieder Schlafen, Dream Culture and Anjunadeep, supported by a growing body of A-list DJs that include Joris Voorn, Nick Warren and Maceo Plex. Making their Proton Music debut, the Kotu remix takes the central motif of "Endless Way" and transforms the original by creating a beautifully meandering freeform melody that captures the ethnic themes of the original in new organic instrumentation. Wrapped in an immaculately crafted rhythmic groove, the track rises and falls with consummate ease to create a stunning new interpretation.

Matias Chilano is no stranger to success in the world of underground dance, quickly finding an outlet for his creative talents with support from iconic fellow Argentinean, Hernan Cattaneo. DJ performances across his homeland alongside Nick Warren, Cid Inc. and Quivver have seen Chilano build an impressive fanbase as production work in tandem has seen him release music on a host of blue-chip imprints that include the likes of Movement Recordings, Balkan Connection and Juicebox Music. Making his Proton Music debut in April 2019 remixing Huminal's "Macropsia", Matias Chilano now turns his attention to Erdi Irmak's "Echoes in Time" with suitable aplomb. Retaining themes that resonate throughout the original, Chilano's skill is to create a rich rhythmic framework from which a series of new melodic ideas flow. Introducing new motifs and phrases, these sit atop Irmak's textured pads and opulent sonic palette in majestic fashion.

New music from Erdi Irmak plus remixes from Kotu and Matias Chilano find true poetic harmony in sound and vision.
