A pairing of considerable experience, Luke Brancaccio & Gai Barone return to Proton Music with a brand-new original track in the shape of "Got to Get it Started", alongside remixes from Michael A and Orsen.

A powerful duo with a rich combined history stretching back more than 15 years, the UK / Italian axis has accounted for some of the finest underground house releases. First coming together in August 2021, their "Lust Stop / Letter to Her" EP shone a bright light on Guy J's esteemed Lost & Found imprint before going on to feature on the likes of Selador, Renaissance Music and Sudbeat Music. A 2023 remix of Verche for Particles was then followed by a debut Proton Music remix of dernis the kid's "Maybe feat. Clara Jo" a year later. Now returning with a debut original offering, "Got to Get it Started" is a powerful progressive gem that hits hard with thumping beat and ticking hats before a smooth female vocal proclaims the track title. A cast of hypnotic melodic elements builds with filtered intensity with a pulsating arp and hefty bassline to keep the energy high. A glorious piano phrase supplies old school vibes at the breakdown while cadenced vocal snippets evolve with the hypnotic array of pitched synth arps in the second half to reach a stirring crescendo.

Michael A has been at the vanguard of the Proton Music sound since his 2017 "Bright Hope" EP. Over 60 production credits later and the Belarusian has seen an ever-evolving sound feature on the likes of "Aura Tears", "Geometria" and 5 incarnations of the popular "Fantasy" series. Remixes for such iconic figures as Pole Folder, Dousk and Trilucid have also contributed to a sought-after production talent as Michael A reworks "Got to Get it Started" in typically majestic fashion. A huge thumping beat opens proceedings while a syncopated bassline echoes Luke Brancaccio and Gai Barone's original. An immaculate percussive groove supplies dancefloor sensibility as the remix builds seamlessly. Pausing for breath at the breakdown, familiar melodies from "Got to Get it Started" shine through as they intertwine with Michael's original production material. The result is a seething, progressive gem that is another commanding reminder of Michael A's talent and passion.

Legendary figure, Dan Orsen, has been at the progressive scene's top table for over a decade. Responsible for some of the finest modern underground house tracks, the UK-born, Austrian-based artist has been a regular on Sudbeat Music, Perspectives Digital and a raft of releases on Cid Inc.'s Replug where he heads up A&R. Nine remixes for Proton Music since a 2016 reworking of Mondkrater has seen Orsen interpret the likes of Roger Martinez, Dimuth K and GMJ & Matter, while a 10th Proton Music remix now sees him produce a driving mesmerising interpretation. Playing handsome tribute to the sonic overtones and vocal cadence of the original, Orsen transforms it into a spiky, coruscating, acid-powered affair that gradually builds in energy using the melodic crescendo of the original to magnificent effect in the second half. The result is a dramatic and impressive departure from the traditional Orsen sound.

A dancefloor classic, "Got to Get it Started" sees Luke Brancaccio and Gai Barone jumpstart their Proton Music sound with glittering remixes from Michael A and Orsen.

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.
