An artist with a long, rich and varied history with Proton, Erdi Irmak has always been at the vanguard of the organica sound. Now he returns to the flagship label with a brand-new original track in "Nightwalker".

Over 70 production credits span the Erdi Irmak portfolio on both the Particles and Proton Music labels, a 2013 debut on the former quickly leading to the high watermark, "You're Either Guilty or Not Guilty" full-length album a year later. The "You in Me" and "Night" EPs opened the Turkish artist's account on Proton Music, before the "Hidden Arcadia" series quickly found its feet. 7 volumes later and a veritable smorgasbord of stunning original material and high-class remixes from the likes of Amháin, Rauschhaus and Nōpi, has seen Erdi form a special and organic relationship with the label as his music and production techniques have evolved over a 4-year period since "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 1" debuted in late 2018.

Now returning with the smooth sounds of "Nightwalker", a deep and rolling percussive groove sits perfectly alongside a bassline full of subtle vibrancy. Female vocal cuts create a dancefloor energy as they add to the layered-groove effect while an analogue lead line creates a new and emotive direction at the breakdown. Extending into the second half, the return of familiar rhythmic components and cadenced vocals create another stunning track.

Adding to the EP, a delicate "2024 Retouch" of a pair of tracks from the "Hidden Arcadia" series supply another classy touch. From Vol. 2 a new version of "Echoes in Time" extends the rhythmic poise of the original while further developing the central melodic themes of the original. Additional vocal touches and a deep, smooth vibe create a perfect reworking a track and demonstrate how far Erdi's production skills have developed. Similarly, Vol. 4's "The Floating Bridge of Heaven" is another deep organic house interpretation that is centred around a silky rolling groove and meandering melodic flow. Retaining the central melodic ideas, counterpoint phrases and more uptempo vibe, generate a dancefloor friendly track that is perfect for Ibiza sunsets and sun-kissed terraces.

Continuing to show a unique craft and passion for his music, Erdi Irmak emerges into bright sunlight with his "Nightwalker" EP.

Besnik Koshi aka Extenzion was born September 12th, 1984 in Sarajevo in the corridor of the maternity hospital since he was so impatient to see the world around him. He started showing interest in the electronic music at the beginning of year 2000 when he attended festival „Futura“ which was first festival of this kind in SE Europe. After that he joined organization „Positive Sound“ where he started learning and improving his knowledge as well as working on promotion of parties and electronic culture in Sarajevo. At the beginning of year 2005 in cooperation with a very good friend of his, Mersel Bujak (aka Infected) he started working on a concept of a radio show „E Music Magazine“ on a local radio station 202 which was always symbol of urban, alternative music and experimental sound in Sarajevo. After sudden success of this radio show at the end of year 2005 they started working on the project „10 years of electronic scene in Sarajevo“ which was broadcasted as New Year's program on Radio 202. After that they worked on promoting Festival Exit (in 2005 and 2006) and through their voluntary work supported rebuilding Dom mladih – Center Skenderija which was simbol of youth even in the past and through that accomplished cooperation with Revival Festival. In 2006 he started working as a resident DJ in Sarajevo's clubs „The Bar“ and „Cinema Sloga“ where he shared his knowledge about electronic music and love for it through his sets that were always different and which were blending Deep-House, Tech-House, Progressive-House and Techno sounds. In July 2006 he had joint performance with DJ Incefected under the name „Infected & Extension“ on a festival Exit on a set DJ Superstar where they had impressive performance. After that performances were just lining up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Kosovo where he always tried to transfer his positive energy and knowledge he gained. He created many compilation CDs that left impressive impact and got amazing feedback from the audience (Progressive Sevdah, Cold & Heat, I Go Deep, Elixir of Life). He established cooperation with Darin Epsilon and Eelke Klejn through promotion of their shows on Radio 202 and educating people on current sound all over the world. He also worked with names like Hernan Cattaneo,Darren Emerson,Luis Junior, DJ Tarkan,Randell Jones. In the future he would like to continue sharing gained knowledge and spread love among people through his sets because life without music wouldn't be way it is today.
