Releasing their "Hagel" EP in May 2018, LADS created another magical milestone on Proton Music with a twin-track offering of the highest order. Now we return to the EP with a pair of new remixes from Dutch and UK artists.

Dutch duo, Huminal, have been a real tour de force since their introduction to the underground dance scene, courtesy of the "Prophecies" EP on FutureForm Music in early 2014. Long-time friend, Paul Deetman and Jelle Jansen had already been regulars across the clubs of their Amsterdam home with captivating sets for local promoters, Pleinvrees and NGHTDVSN. Moreover, their distinctive production sound has seen a raft of production material for the likes of Einmusika, Zerothree and Movement Recordings. Regulars on Particles and Proton Music with a combined quartet of original EPs, "Knocking on the Sky" and "We Dwell in the Past" have been notable highlights in the Proton catalogue with October 2018's "Macropsia" another jewel in their sizeable crown. 

Following on from a trio of remixes, the Huminal remix is redolent in duo's trademark rasping analogue bass sound. Built around an intelligent percussive groove that evolves enticingly, a bouncing bassline emerges in off-beat pattern that hints at the complexity to follow. Simultaneously, the motifs from the LADS original are heard, combined with Huminal's own stunning production material that reaches a glorious zenith at the breakdown before extending into the third movement. The result is a stunning achievement.

An artist who burst onto the underground dance scene in late 2016, Imran Khan has been a regular on Clinique Recordings with his "Distance Between Us" and "Time" EPs. Going on to find his music featured on the likes of Stellar Fountain, Astrowave and BQ Recordings, Khan's work for Particles saw the "Arrival" EP released in August 2018 following success of the title track on the "Winter Particles 2018" compilation. A pair of original tracks alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat and Hot TuneiK showcased Khan's music.

Now debuting on Proton Music, the Imran Khan remix is a deep and sultry offering that revels in stripped back percussive cadence. A metronomic bass note finds its place in the creation of tight groove while melodic elements from the LADS original filter into aural range. Building cleverly throughout, a chorus of strings and sustained pads supply depth before a shimmering arpeggio opens up, taking its place in the post-breakdown sonic collage with glorious simplicity.

Remixes from Huminal and Imran Khan see LADS reign supreme in "Hagel".

..é una sorta di trama
..segue un tema prescritto (alle volte narrato e/o adornato grazie a differenti forme d’arte) capace di crear un viaggio onirico sulle frequenze ondeggianti della deep•house intrisa di contaminazioni TECHNO.
