Hitting the heights on a regular basis, over 800 production credits sit proudly next to Michael A's name for the likes of Sudbeat, Mango Alley and Replug. Particles and Proton Music have also been a regular home for the Belarusian with a further three original EPs between February 2017's "Bright Hope" debut and May 2019's "Geometria". Returning with "Twinkling Stars", the title track is a typically impressive affair with deep, rolling groove and seismic bass prowess. Building with ease a smooth arpeggio drifts into sonic range with its glittering delays. Aptly titled, shimmering motifs glisten across the track's powerful rhythmic framework, juxtaposed elegantly against the lighter melodic elements. "Vibrance" continues Michael A's penchant for deep bass prowess, anchored tightly to an exquisite shuffling percussive top-line that adds dancefloor dynamism. Before long, a simple motif comes into play to add hypnotic texture while sumptuous pads supply depth and intrigue that build into a post-breakdown illustrating Michael's skill and craft.

Matty Doyle is a modern production heavyweight. Through his Matter moniker, the Australian has built a sizeable reputation for himself with a plethora of high-profile releases and DJ performances across the globe in London, Amsterdam and his Melbourne hometown. A host of releases on Proton Music in solo and collaborative guises – often with long-term friend and production partner, GMJ – has seen Matter release music of the very highest order that saw the 2016's "Pronoia" and 2017's "We Are Dust" EPs bolster his reputation. Returning to remix Michael A after a February 2019 reworking of Embliss' "Lone Wolf", Matter takes "Twinkling Stars" on a trademark journey of power, precision and smooth bassline dominance. Using the remix parts to creative effect, combined with a bevy of additional material, the result is a sparkling offering that grows in detail with each passing minute as filters and delays open up into a glorious breakdown crescendo of melodic passion. Continuing into the latter stages with ease, the result is near nine minutes of sonic perfection.

Janko Dragovic is another name steeped in underground music history. As originally part of the Progress Inn duo, Dragovic's success under his Desaturate pseudonym is no less impressive. Moreover, collaborations with Rick Pier O'Neil, and Forniva on Particles has seen Desaturate amass an impressive collection of original music while May 2016's "The Unholy Mountain" was a high-quality 3-track solo outing. January 2018's "Wanderer" saw a powerful Proton debut as a remix of Huminal's "Macropsia" in April 2019 is now followed by a compelling reworking of "Vibrance" characterised by a smooth bouncing bassline groove and syncopated percussion. Building effortlessly using themes resonant in the original, new melodic flourishes emerge that shimmer in rich delays. Hitting its stride post-breakdown, a filtered and modulated arpeggio comes to the fore to provide a dynamic vibrancy to the latter stages.

Originals from Michael A combined with remixes from Matter and Desaturate keep "Twinkling Stars" in ascendance.

Twinkling Stars

Twinkling Stars (Matter Remix) [Proton Music]

Returning to Proton Music after a successful 2019, Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat present a bright new vision with "Beyond the Future, Vol. 1".

From Cali, south-west of the Bogota capital, Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat have been pivotal in advancing their country's underground dance movement. Rising out of the Cauca Valley, the duo has been responsible for a swathe of high-profile music. Both successful artists in the own rights, Sanclemente has amassed over 450 production credits since a debut for Suite 7 Records in 2013, going on to feature on some of the most prestigious independent imprints including Massive Harmony Records, Univack and Nick Warren's "Balance Presents the Soundgarden" in late 2018. A relative newcomer to the underground scene, Dabeat's solo work has seen him feature for BeatFreak Recordings, Pollen Flug Records and Freegrant Music.

Joining forces, the collaborative pairing has consistently hit the headlines with their distinctive brand of progressive house, lighting up the likes of Mango Alley, Hope and UV. January 2019 saw a Proton Music debut in the shape of the outstanding "Spiral Patterns", further enhanced by a remix from Brazilian maestro, Andre Sobota. A remix for Peter Makto & Gregory S's "Purple Rain" was another notable highlight in May as Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat return with the first in a series of EPs that follow in the footsteps laid by Erdi Irmak and Rick Pier O'Neil, as they start out "Beyond the Future".

Opener, "Zemula", is full of rhythmic prowess as a strong percussive groove lays the perfect foundation for rippling arpeggios and siren synth lead to course through the 8-min offering. Ambient effects and sweeping risers add additional texture to a wonderful club floor-filler. The complementary tracks of "Feline" and "Ausar" delight with their languorous rhythmic patterns as grooved plucks and clever bassline sequences add rich syncopation. Unhurried lead lines ripple across proceedings to create flowing melodic patterns while atmospheric vocal phrases add depth. The driving kick and off-beat percussion of "Asgard" provides immediate dancefloor character, tempered by stratified layers of arpeggiated sequences and rising pad progressions that reach a crescendo in a tension-fuelled breakdown. Rhythm and melody then combine once more in the third movement to maximum effect.

With its seething atmosphere, "Aerology", is a mesmerising collage of grooved bassline and melodic motif that provide a superb counterweight to intelligently programmed percussion. Adding to the aural melange a relentless sequence builds post-breakdown to strong effect before "Magma" spews forth with bristling power and dancefloor heat. Flowing hypnotically through arpeggiated phrase, a counterpoint chord progression provides weight before a grooved melodic line opens up in the second half, creating a dynamic and powerful climax.

Six tracks of the highest order see Kamilo Sanclemente securing the present while looking firmly "Beyond the Future".

Roger Martinez has been helping listeners reach Higher States for more than a year. Hitting yet another apex, his label now presents “High Noon!” Fellow Dutchman Navar captures moments held dear with its four original mixes. Starting the release, “Moon at the Window” stems from his recent trip to India. Its droning intro thus flows into a bed of broken beats and, later, a drum-fueled haze.

High Noon

Premiere: Navar - Moon at the Window [Higher States]

Greek-born Simos Tagias has made significant progress since breaking into the scene back in 2012 and developing, since then, a fluid and rolling style that has been supported by an army of high profile fans and peers alike. 

Opening his Sudbeat debut is the title track ‘Crater’ where deep beats and strings allude to the tension that’s just over the hill. Low slung grooves keep your feet locked on the dance floor and melodics creep into earshot leading to an epic break and driving conclusion. 
Next up, ‘Bracer’ opens with a jangling percussive vibe and spiky bass notes. Gathering pace throughout, the main musical motifs reveal themselves in the powerful main break. 
Finally, ‘Neutron’ thunders from the gate with huge, rotund kick drums and sparkly arps. Driving forward to the first break, a sonic maelstrom begins to form. One for the peak-time floors for sure.
