Through Golan Zocher & Eric Lune, Proton Music is delighted to showcase "North to South. Remixes come from outstanding Polish and Belarusian artists.

With impressive artistic pedigrees in their own rights, Golan Zocher & Eric Lune have individually found success with a host of impressive production credits to their name. Owner of the Bloom Records imprint, Zocher has seen his own music feature on the likes of JOOF, Perspectives Digital, and fellow countryman Juan Pablo Torrez's Clubsonica Records. Similarly, Eric Lune has been a staple on such celebrated imprints as 3rd Avenue, Juicebox Music and Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank. Remixing GMJ's "Mystic Sea" for Proton in June 2020, Golan Zocher now joins forces with Eric Lune as the Colombian/Australian axis deliver a glorious, bouncing progressive house gem as a head-shaking bass groove and shaker-fuelled percussive top-line combine with harmonically detuned analogue chords and delicate keys that shimmer in rich delays. Building to a crescendo at the the mid-point breakdown, the track rises and falls with ease to dramatic effect. A beautifully crafted "Ambient Edit" adds an extra dimension as rhythmic elements are stripped away to reveal a glorious array of motifs and melodies that cascade and coruscate in counterpoint fashion to produce a wonderfully evocative edit.

Requiring very little in the way of introduction, Kobana bids a very welcome return to the label. A regular on the Proton Music roster, the Polish artist's ability to create unique and immaculately balanced material has seen a raft of releases centred around 2014's full-length album "The Riddle". The "Freefall" and "Boyhood" EPs in 2015 and 2016 continued an impressive catalogue of original material, while a 2018 remix of Dousk is now followed by a classic remix that revels in a sustained bassline sequence that is the perfect foundation for a glorious array of melodies to swirl and soar above in highly energised fashion. Building with ease and making immaculate use of Zocher & Lune's original components, the result is a dancefloor stormer that is propelled forward with thumping kick and off-beat percussion seeing Kobana make a stunning return to Proton Music.

Michael A is another Proton Music regular with a long and distinguished career with the label. Starting on Particles with his "Behind the Moon" and "Sapphire" EPs in 2014 and 2017, a clutch of originals saw "Bright Hope", "My Style", "Aura Tears", "Geometria" and "Twinkling Stars", light up the label between 2017 and 2020 with a distinctive and evolving melodic sound. Remixes for the likes of James Monro, Rauschhaus and James Warren are now accompanied by a stunning interpretation of "North to South". A smooth and silky use of the central melody from the Zocher & Lune original has created a Sasha-esque remix that is reminiscent of the legend's "Airdrawndagger" sound with its cascading and overlapping delays. A typically impressive rhythm section provides percussive power aplenty as counterpoint melodies and new distorted motifs add depth and range to a highly impressive offering.

From "North to South" Golan Zocher & Eric Lune have been joined by Kobana and Michael A on a true voyage of discovery.
