Returning to Proton Music with a follow-up to his mid-2021 "To the Mood and Back" and a remix of Dabeat in June this year, Magitman once again illustrates why he's been such a storied producer over a 15-year period on the label. With a swathe of original and remix material, often with former production partner Roman Brisker between 2008-2010, the Israeli star delights once more with the sparkling twin-track "Daybreak". Showcasing a vibrant house-infused style, the title track flows breezily across its 5-minute timeframe with head-shaking percussive groove and blend of sunlit melodies. Revelling in a call-and-response framework, the shimmering arpeggios sit alongside powerful chords and a rousing bassline sequence. The result is a stirring tour de force. "Infusion" continues the house sound, quickly bringing a bouncing bass groove and immaculately placed percussive components to the foreground. The resulting rhythmic collage is heightened further by a squelching synth motif that filters in dynamic fashion. Evolving easily through an elegant sonic palette, the track picks up the pace with its funky bass groove as all elements come together in a silky-smooth 5-minute framework.

An artist who has hit the heights over a stellar career behind the decks and in the studio, D-Nox has been at the heart of the underground dance scene for over two decades. As part of the D-Nox & Beckers outfit and also in solo guise, the German has seen a plethora of music featured on the likes of Einmusika, Suara and his own Sprout. A quartet of remixes for Proton Music that began with a late 2005 debut and continued in 2019 after a 15-year hiatus, has seen D-Nox shine with reworkings of Juan Deminicis, Anton MAKe and Cream. Now taking on "Daybreak", the D-Nox remix is a glorious combination of melodic tropes from the original, housed within a strong dancefloor offering and smooth 4-to-the-floor rhythmic underpinning. The central motif from the Magitman original also makes its presence felt, as does a hypnotic bass pattern. A raft of new production material and dynamic melodies add to the interpretation with a wash of pads at the half-way point before taking off once more in the third movement to powerful effect.

An artist most recognised with his work as part of Dance Spirit, Christopher Mohn's solo career has kicked-off in hugely impressive fashion. A veteran of some 250 production credits for the likes of Superfreq, Kindisch and Bedrock Records, Christopher's debut solo work has quickly racked up support from the DJ glitterati with music on Wild Wolves On Acid and YOON Records. Now debuting his production magic on Proton Music, the Christopher Mohn remix is a seething Tech House infused Minimal monster that intelligently uses the key components of Magitman's original and blends them with a squelching bassline backdrop and chest-thumping kick. Pitched down arps and creepy vocals cuts are juxtaposed with lighter melodic components to create a mesmerising offering that is sure to appeal to DJs and club-goers alike in the hours before "Daybreak".

A final mix sees a return of Roman Brisker. Long-term production partner of Magitman, the pair have more than a half-century of tracks featured on the likes of Tribal Vision Records, Avangardia and Proton Music. Making a welcome return, the Roman Brisker remix is a deep progressive gem that revels in bouncing bass groove and light melodic juxtaposition. Intelligently using elements of Magitman's original, new motifs are delicately placed atop familiar patterns as "Daybreak" takes on a new and vibrant direction. Embracing a fluid and hypnotic vibe, the Roman Brisker remix is a superb and welcome addition to the EP.

OUT NOW // 

SAVED134 - Emanuel Satie - Come As You Are

London-based artist ABSOLUTE. debuts his single ‘Fairground’ via his own A. Player imprint. Out now.

The track was born out of sessions at London’s iconic Fortress Studios, also home to Jamie xx, Paranoid London and Bicep. It was mastered by veteran engineer Matt Colton (James Blake, Panda Bear, Caribou) and is already picking early support with tastemakers from DJ EZ to Horsemeat Disco.

With ‘Fairground’, ABSOLUTE. (always all caps, with a full stop) has crafted a bold, electrifying debut that envelops the listener in its cavernous atmospherics, with celestial synths and chopped, distant vocals heralding echoing horns and tribal percussion. It’s the sound of someone carving their own path, and marks ABSOLUTE. out as one of the UK’s most intriguing new producers. 

Elusive London DJ and producer KDA demanded to remix ‘Fairground’ on first listen, stepping up to deliver a pneumatic dub version that loses none of the original’s dark ambiance. The remix will be released in March 2016 and follows KDA’s own debut single ‘Rumble’ last year, which ultimately topped the UK singles chart with a reworked version featuring Katy B and Tinie Tempah. 

Having already appeared on line-ups alongside the likes of Claude VonStroke, Green Velvet, Derrick Carter, Julio Bashmore, Cyril Hahn, Gesaffelstein, 2 Bears, Greg Wilson, Justin Martin, Flashmob to name just a few, ABSOLUTE. is set to unveil a highly anticipated live show this Summer. Stay tuned.

Cucumbers - Last Night (Original Mix) // Exotic Refreshment LTD

One UK’s most underrated DJ’s in Bonar Bradberry has long been a respected DJ and producer in his own right on the underground scene. After lying about his age and beginning to play sets at clubs he wasn’t legally old enough to attend it wasn’t long before he began to win residencies at some of his native Birmingham’s hottest nightspots before setting off for Leeds and becoming involved with the notorious Asylum party where he shared a booth with some of the industry’s key figures like Gilles Peterson, Jamie Jones and Ricardo Villalobos.

Since then it has been onwards and upwards for Bradberry, firstly beginning work with 2020 Vision which has now become one of the scenes most respected independent labels before in 2007 starting to produce records himself both as a solo artist and with a series of collaborations with fellow ex-Play Music record store staff such as Paul Woolford and Matt Playford.

Now with a formidable back catalogue of his own including releases on 2020 Vision, Red Music, Future Classic and Under The Shade as well as producing remixes for some of the scenes coolest and most names such as Crazy P and Bernard Fevre. Bonar has quickly become an artist hard to ignore.

Bonar Bradberry - Ain't Me(Spirit Catcher Remix)

Aside from recent DJ sets around the world at his favourite spots, Time Warp and Oval Space included, Laurent Garnier has been busy producing again and as well as an appearance on Kompakt, he's provided a track for the new 10 years of Skryptöm​ compilation. 

The Parisian label founded by Electric Rescue has acted as a place for all of his favourite techno artists and the upcoming compilation features tracks from Truncate, Inigo Kennedy, Roman Poncet and Maxime Dangles.

We have the exclusive first play of Laurent's track and 'Electric Djjedi Disco Biscuit​' is as wild as the title suggests. The nine-minute epic is a classic slice of Garnier, with twists and turns from the off and deep, underlying bass rumbling beneath and a sublime progression that no other man could possibly create.

Bravo to Laurent Garnier and bravo to Skryptöm​.
