An artist making a welcome return to Proton Music, Eric Lune now debuts in solo guise with his "Airbag" EP. Remixes come from UK and US artists.

First appearing on Proton Music alongside Golan Zocher, the "North to South" EP marked an impressive debut for Eric Lune, accompanied by remixes from Kobana and Michael A. Already finding himself featured on the likes of Plattenbank, Juicebox Music and Sound Avenue, the Australian artist reveals a masterclass of production prowess with the immaculately crafted "Airbag". Characterised by pounding beat and sumptuous synth lines, shimmering arpeggiated sequences combine with a glissando bassline that adds a classy touch to proceedings. Building in effervescent fashion, vocal fragments swirl in circular patterns that come to the fore at the breakdown before powerful synth stabs hit the front in the second half to create a vibrant and dynamic affair.

Another returning artist sees Nick Muir needing no introduction. A global icon known for his spellbinding DJ performances as well as his work as part of the Bedrock act with John Digweed, Muir became a regular on the label of the same name. Furthermore, the UK star has over a double century of credits for the imprint while also appearing on the likes of Traum, Replug and Perspectives Digital. Returning to Proton after standout reworkings of Rick Pier O'Neil and Sebastian Sellares, the Nick Muir remix takes "Airbag" on a powerful, multi-faceted voyage that oozes class. Using a hefty kick and metronomic bassline foundation, expert use of components from Lune's original flow through the 9-minute interpretation with ease and ingenuity. Simultaneously, a swathe of new production material from the Nick Muir arsenal sees the track build in intensity with a rise and fall that comes with decades of industry know-how. An explosive dénouement in the final movement thus creates a club-friendly, hands-in-the-air' moment that is certain to fill clubs the world over.

After successful solo outings and extensive DJ performances, Mariner + Domingo have been regulars on Particles since a March 2021 debut remixing Izzet. Going on to release the "Azimuth" debut EP later that month with remixes from Juan Deminicis and Rafa'EL, a second EP in the shape of "Lose Control feat. Priest Music Productions" was another notable highlight in May. Now making their Proton Music debut the Mariner + Domingo remix is a commanding reinterpretation that revels in a dynamic percussive backdrop where emotive new melodies create a dramatic and melancholic air. Atop heavy beat, glorious new melodies gently filter into sonic range evolving in immaculate fashion as the track develops. Paying tribute to Eric Lune's original with reference to the vocal cuts and glissando bassline, the Mariner + Domingo remixer is a mastery of understated underground progressive house.

Creating a sonic explosion with his "Airbag", Eric Lune finds Nick Muir and Mariner + Domingo the perfect driving companions on his solo debut journey.
