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.

Beginning the new decade with typical panache and vibrancy, 2020 sees the return of Rise and Fall to Particles as his brand-new three-track EP celebrates "Time".

An artist of considerable renown and over a double century of production credits to his name, Anton Vishniakov has continued to produce a veritable smorgasbord of progressive house and techno through his Rise and Fall moniker. Marking a bright debut with "The Glow" for Monster Deep in April 2013, support came from industry leaders including Max Graham, Hernan Cattaneo and Jerome Isma-Ae. A swathe of original and remix material followed for such high-profile imprints as JOOF, Colore and a century of credits for Bonzai Progressive. Furthermore, June 2019 saw impressive victory in Quivver's "8 Bit Eclipse" remix competition with an ensuing release on the UK artist's Controlled Substance label.

A regular on Particles since debuting on the "Winter 2014" compilation in February 2014, "The Vision" and "Traffic Lights" EP continued to showcase Rise and Fall's original productions. Remixes of Biologik, Derek Howell, Michael A and Andre Sobota in April 2019 showcased another side to Vishniakov's production talents, and we are therefore delighted to see Rise and Fall return to Particle once more with "Time".

Opener, "Density" is a chunky percussive gem that revels in strong beat, upfront hi-hats and rolling bassline groove. A central arpeggio sumptuously filters into range as the track progresses and a glorious new bassline progression makes its presence felt at the mid-point before erupting into a seething, hypnotic dancefloor destroyer.

"Reaction" begins in more considered fashion with its laidback groove and subtle off-beat hats. A perfectly syncopated bassline adds a mesmerising flow to proceedings as a swathe of textured pads and rippling arpeggio motif provide mid-range dynamism. A swirling breakdown full of white-noise washes and never-ending delays provides a moment melodic magic before Rise and Fall's production charm sees the hypnotic groove return in the third movement.

The title track is an eight-minute jewel that sparkles with a rich melodic narrative. White-noise swells across the left-right spectrum in front of heavy beat and subtle percussive groove while a trademark arpeggio rises and falls with intensity. A bassline phrase supplies rich melodic progression as the track opens up post-breakdown and multiple layers of textured pads add depth and power to the immaculately crafted "Time".

Opening a new decade in elegant fashion, "Time" certainly does not stand still for Rise and Fall.

Cid Inc's Replug Records caps off a successful year by welcoming Dmitry Molosh back to the label for a new artist showcase. The Belarus native and progressive music favourite rounded out 2018 with his chart topping 'Detektor' EP for the Finnish imprint. 2019 has seen further successes, with EP's for Guy J's Armadillo Records and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music sitting as the highlights. Now fresh off a contribution to Nick Warren's Balance compilation, Dmitry lands back on Replug with 'Cascade'.

Firmly sitting amongst progressive music's elite, Dmitry continues to deliver some of the genre's most beloved tracks with 'Cascade' being the latest in a long line of gems. Fuelled by rhythm and groove; it's chunky foundation, driving percussion and buoyant rhythmic core form the backbone of this exhilarating journey. Panning effects and emerging atmopheres smoothly segue into the main break, shifting the narrative further into melodic territory. Sitting comfortably in an ethereal yet emotive space, the lead motif rises, resonating on a warm and inviting frequency, gently evolving across a foggy atmospheric backdrop, before a gentle rush sparks a thrilling final act.

The companion piece 'Step By Step' follows suit with an equally impressive display of rhythm and groove. Spacious and energetic, it's a creation built around rolling bass tones and vibrant chord stabs. Ethereal phrases and buzzing effects converge as the first act unfolds, while colourful vocal fragments shift energy into the break. Timely modulation adds drama and tension across the one minute interlude, ultimately reaching a swirling crescendo and perfectly setting up a powerful third act.

Dmitry's long standing relationship with Replug has spawned several of progressive music's finest moments over the last half decade. 'Cascade' once again follows suit and looks set to be one of the winter seasons most in demand releases.

The stark landscapes and crisp climates that characterize the winter months can clarify, if not intensify, our emotions. Music released this time of year has a tendency to be especially raw and poignant, which is certainly the case for the four exceptional cuts featured on "Winter Selections 05."
