With Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat making waves over the past 12 months, Proton Music is delighted to showcase "Spiral Patterns" with a high-profile remix from a Brazilian superstar.

From Cali, south-west of the Bogota capital, Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat have seen their career trajectory rise steeply over the past 12 months. With over 300 productions credits to his name, Sanclemente is no stranger to the underground production scene. Making a 2013 debut on Suite 7 Records, the Colombian has gone on to feature on a host of blue-chip imprints with Parquet, Einmusika and Perspectives Digital frequent supporters of his progressive sound. Indeed, it was with the latter that Sanclemente has had particular success. Centred around the "El Sol/La Luna" in collaboration with fellow countryman, Golan Zocher, October 2018's "Cosmosphere" saw a Sanclemente and Dabeat collaborate for the Darin Epsilon imprint. A regular on Particles, August 2017's three-track "Revelations" EP was followed by May 2018's "Eva". A remix of Imran Khan's "Arrival" saw the pair join forces for the first time on the label so it a pleasure to welcome them back with a debut original track. Oozing with class and a mature production style, "Spiral Patterns" builds upon a ticking percussive framework and strong beat as a cavernous glissando bassline provides depth. Evolving with consummate ease, rippling arpeggios emerge with a central melodic theme, opening up in filtered glory at the mid-point breakdown. A haunting lead reprises the melody post-breakdown and a chorus of pads add textured layers that leads to a rousing denouement in the third movement.

Some artists require no introduction and Brazilian icon, Andre Sobota, is one such artist. Responsible for a string of cross-genre hits that carry a unique flair for melody and rhythm, Sobota's meticulous attention to sound design and percussive detail has found him remixing Coldplay and Rihanna while making multiple appearances on BBC Radio 1. A production career that has witnessed some 500 production credits across a plethora of renowned labels has seen Sobota's work allied to the likes of Anjunadeep, Toolroom and microCastle, supported by A-list DJs, from John Digweed and Dave Seaman to Hernan Cattaneo and Eelke Kleijn. A welcome regular on Proton Music, December 2009's "One Day Out" EP set the tone for a half-century of tracks to light up the label with a glorious array of rhythmic variation and coruscating emotive melody. "Signal", "Fragments" and "Unmute" have all followed across the past three years, not forgetting a reinvention of his debut EP in 2014 with "5 Years Outside". A stellar collection of remixes have sat alongside the original material as Andre Sobota returns to rework Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat in typically impressive fashion. Using the central melodic themes from "Spiral Patterns", shimmering pads and motifs emerge, tied to an intricately programmed rhythmic groove. A rich bassline adds substance and depth as the tracks builds to its zenith via a stripped-back ethereal breakdown. Rising and falling effortlessly, Sobota's work is a class apart.

Flowing in constantly evolving circles, "Spiral Patterns" finds Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat flying high with Andre Sobota.

Diogo Ribeiro - See Beyond (Peter Wagner Remix) Movement

So, we really loved the original & Timo kindly sent us the parts so we could do a mix. It doesn't really sound like anyone else, it's like a piece of art or something. Imagine Leftfield scoring an episode of Luther, this would be the closing credits.

Timo Maas - Articulation (Acid Rockers & George Thompson Remix)

"Normally I know that high expectations kill the vibe, so I always try to walk my way open minded and don’t expect anything special from the future, but this time I couldn’t help it. When the Robot told me that she wanted me to play the sunrise set and that we will be connected with the Mayan Warrior soundsystem, I could feel it already in Berlin a full three weeks before… Then when I finally took the bus over to Robot Heart it was even better than in my craziest expectations. This gig was by far the most emotional gig I have ever played. All I can say is thank you, I am even more happy now to be born on this weird planet which can be really beautiful sometimes, when you give it  chance to be free. Thank you you for dancing with me and giving me so much Love. So here is my try to give something back.

(This set includes only sounds, samples, synths, basses, pianos, vocals and lyrics which are created, recorded and arranged by Jan Blomqvist, Felix Lehman & Ryan Mathiesen. Except the vocals at Dancing People are never wrong and one tiny vocal sample in the last track, you'll recognize it)"

Art piece: Awakening

www.facebook.com/AwakeningBurningMan2016

The human body is the most highly engineered object in existence, a machine of uncountable parts and unfathomable function. Its workings have served as inspiration for all of humanity's greatest inventions. This work is an homage to the two most amazing mechanisms in that machine: the human eye and hand. The head is a 16 foot camera obscura demonstrating the ray optics principals underlying the spherical lensed eye humans posses and the hands are actuated mimicking the tendons and bones of the body. Together they represent what separates life from the rest of the universe, the ability to observe the world around us and manifest change in that world.

Marking the 16th release on Juicebox Music, as well as the closing out 2016, Australian rising star Luka Sambe makes his debut with a 3-track EP titled ‘Becoming’. His productions have found their place in well-respected labels like Lost & Found, Mesmeric, Perspectives Digital & Traum. With a knack for creating exquisite soundscapes, along with serious attention to detail, his music portrays a sonically-lush journey that many crave in this formulaic world. With this EP, he showcases his diversity in electronica, techno & progressive house, all with the special ‘Luka’ touch.

Kicking off is the title track ‘Becoming’, where a plethora of spacey electronics & counter-melodies on a carefully programmed percussive groove drives through, occasionally visited by soaring vocals. It all eventually leads up to the break-down where a new harmonies converge to change the mood, just for a moment though, only to become what it started with. ‘Cooking With Dennis’ goes for the darker techno-inspired aura with chord-stabs & dispersed melancholic arps, building the tension up to a wonky synth-frenzy moment. ‘Lucent Amongst Black’ winds things down to a more organic & low-tempo space, encompassed with textural & sparkling sound design on a funky, yet deep shuffled groove.

Kicking off Juicebox Music for 2017 is our 17th release, a single titled 'Mellifluous' from Fábio Pereira aka Li-Polymer. The Madeira (Portugal) based artist makes a come-back to the label after his stellar remix of 'Esensides - Drift Away' last year. With a growing discography including releases on "Movement", "Soundteller" and Hernan Cattaneo's "Sudbeat" along with highly-acclaimed remixes, his productions has now become a staple in countless DJ's record bags. Li-Polymer's latest offering, 'Mellifluous', is a haunting & moody number, with a nice chunky groove that sounds soothing to the ear while at the same time, sonically impactful with it's heavy low-end and crisp percussion. Staying true to the organic quality that we've known him for. 

We called upon Germany's Konstantin Alt, aka LoQuai, for his debut appearance on the label as the first remixer. As a progressive house veteran, his understanding of the musical space and grooves has earned his music to be found in many labels like Balkan Connection, Particles, Bonzai Progressive, Stellar Fountain as well as his very own Refined Tunes. LoQuai stays true to Li-Polymer's original mood & groove, reworking it in his own sound while subtlety adding a new atmospheric dimension and delicate groove edits to reflect his vision. 

The second remix comes from India's very own Karthik Sivasankar, aka Tatsama, who makes his return to the label after his track 'Open Spaces' on the 'Elements - Volume 1' release caught the attention of many. Following which, he's put out some captivating music on Suffused Music and Wind Horse Records. Showing his diversity and unlike his more laid back 'Open Spaces', Tatsama shifts into a higher gear for his interpretation of 'Mellifluous' with an aggressive drive, shuffled grooves & restless euphoric break yet staying restrained and composed with it's delivery.

Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat - Spiral Patterns (Andre Sobota Remix)

Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat - Spiral Patterns (Original Mix)

Providing a late summer EP of the highest quality, GMJ and Matter once again showed their collaborative prowess. Through "Interscope" the duo created a stunning twin-track EP, now revitalised in 2019 with remixes from Argentinean and Moldovan talents.

An Argentinean artist with a rich musical provenance to his name, Nicolas Rada, has shone brightly within the underground dance fraternity. An accomplished pianist with an inherent understanding of musical composition, an impressive DJ career has risen in tandem with memorable production work including over a century of credits on the Balkan Connection family of labels. Moreover, it is with iconic DJ and celebrated producer, Nick Warren that the duo has found a strong collaborative relationship in 2018 with the standout "Land of Dreams" EP for Warren's The Soundgarden imprint a notable June highlight. Bookended by remixes of Eelke Kleijn for DAYS like NIGHTS and Mark Slee and Atish for Manjumasi, Rada's remix of Andre Sobota in December 2017 marked an impressive debut for Proton Music, now followed by a standout reworking of the Australian duo. Taking on "Interscope", the Nicolas Rada remix is redolent in a trademark rhythmic groove that drives the track forward with deep kick and intricate percussion. Using GMJ and Matter's original components to create an elegant framework, new melodic motifs make their presence felt as the track evolves. From the mid-point onwards, a chorus of additional production material sees counterpoint motifs play off each other in coruscating beauty to create a wonderful new interpretation.

The self-proclaimed 'double-headed dragon' sees Moldovan duo, Alex and Andrew take form as Lanvary. Both respected DJs and artists, the duo's diverse musical backgrounds have found them in much demand as they experiment with sonic ideas, "melting various ingredients in their musical kitchen". Making their 2010 debut for Underphunk Recordings, the duo has gone on to celebrate 150 production credits for some of the finest modern underground labels, including Stellar Fountain, Mistique Digital and Suffused Music. Regulars on Particles, a series of original EPs have continued to showcase the Lanvary sound as the twin-track "Micromegas" debut in 2015 was quickly followed by "Slingshot Ride" and "Penumbra" in 2016 and "Leviathan" in 2017. Graduating onto Proton Music, December 2017's "Venus" EP was a strong debut that went on to see reworkings from LADS and Soulwerk, while remixes of Matter and Hot TuneiK are now followed by a third in the shape of the Lanvary remix of "To The Stars". Creating a deep and subtle groove, Lanvary have fashioned a wonderful rhythmic foundation that bristles with percussive intent as a warm bassline supplies further substance. Simultaneously, a new melodic riff makes its presence felt in hypnotic beauty while a swathe of effects and innovative sound design give rise to the "Odd Galaxy" title. Using GMJ and Matter's components to inventive effect, the result is another impressive offering from the Lanvary production stable.

Remixes from Nicolas Rada and Lanvary have given GMJ and Matter's "Interscope" a vibrant new direction.

Since its April 2017 inception, WAYU Records has laid on the outskirts of genre dichotomy. In the same period of time, Shunus devised a musicality that’s careful to commit itself to form. Likely the result of years playing various instruments, the Egyptian producer also regularly skirts the “Peripheral” of labeling. An EP by that very name continues what’s already been a busy year for the London born, Cairo bound creator. Warranting a remix by his mate Urmet K, “Vibrations” invokes melodic Hang drums, pensive acoustic guitars, piercing male vox and much more!
