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.

D-Nox (born 06 December 1975) is a German DJ/producer and 1 time DJ Awards winner whose career in electronic music spans well over 25 years. Everything started for him with the electronic scene in his hometown of Düsseldorf in the early 90ties, branding his mark in the music community by also being a part of the duo D-Nox & Beckers who are responsible for various club hits since 2004 and are still currently releasing 16 years later on prestigious labels such as Bedrock, Suara and Sudbeat to name a few, as well as through D-Nox’s own record label Sprout Music. 
D-Nox has brought his sound all around the world with his international bookings as a DJ, keeping him constantly on the move with his travels every weekend, through Europe, down to Australia, across the Americas, and around Asia and Africa. D-Nox has an exceptionally outstanding career in Brazil where he has his biggest fan community.
D-Nox was born in East Germany, but his family escaped to the West of Germany before the wall went down in 1989. As a young boy, he fed his interest in music by recording music on cassette tapes, as there was no way to buy records in East Germany. It was only in the time that he and his family moved to the West, that he got access to all the music which he had been recording on tapes and this is when his real passion for collecting music was born. In the early 90ties he started to go out and meet people from the nightlife scene of his new hometown Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf has always played an important role in the underground music scene. Many important bands such as Kraftwerk come from Düsseldorf.
With the first money that D-Nox made after he had left school, he was able to buy himself all of the important equipment needed to start the art of mixing vinyl records.
Around 1992 was the first time he got booked to play in a nightclub and by 1993 he became a professional DJ. These early years made D-Nox one of the most booked DJs in his region, with numerous gigs in his hometown and other cities near by. In 2001 he started to work as A&R for the record label Tatsu. This job taught him even more about the music scene and inspired him to start his own record label Sprout Music in 2003.
In 2004 he met Beckers and both started the form the famous duo D-Nox & Beckers which was responsible for many underground club hits such as „Jetlag Slave“, „Memory Cell“, „Seven Hours“ and many others.

Until today, D-Nox & Beckers still receive a lot of recognition and respect, and continue to play shows all around the world together.

Along with D-Nox’s change of location from Germany to South America, a few new collaboration partnerships in the studio were formed. One of them together with Victor Ruiz, one of the most demanded DJs of today.  Together Victor and D-Nox produced ‘Arise’ which was released on Sudbeat Recordings in 2016, the label belonging to Hernan Cattaneo. This track became one of the most played tracks in sets of DJ’s all around the world. They followed up this release, with a second best seller in 2017 on Sudbeat from Victor Ruiz and D-Nox, called ‚Pure’. Another new collaboration made with Stereo Underground, a very well respect producer from Israel „Dolby“ has reached number 1 in Beatport, the world wide leading digital store for DJs and was holding the top position for over 3 month. The pandemic month have d-nox become way more creative in his studio than he ever was before and his discography has just grown bigger and bigger. Its is now over 20 years that D-Nox is traveling all around the world and keeps on moving the dance floors.

Оn July 20th, 2012, a party with John Digweed and Denis A took place in the Krasnodar nightclub "Sugar". It was during these years that he fell in love with electronic music and completely immersed himself in it. 1996 was the peak of the growing popularity of electronic music in Russia and the appearance of numerous top clubs and events. His musical taste was formed thanks to such artists as Anthony Pappa, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo and many others. In 2017, he decided to start recording mixes for friends and various music communities, realizing that without music, our life is nothing but routine.
