Returning with a fourth edition of his popular series first debuting in September 2020, "Fantasy, Vol. 4" opens with the effervescent "Aeon" and its driving rhythmic backdrop. Before long, beautifully evolving pads are melded with a shimmering arpeggio and emotive bassline. Waxing and waning with dancefloor ease, it is a real showcase of the Belarusian's talent. Continuing, "Galactic Voices" immediately impresses with its bouncing bassline and heavy beat. White-noise infused pads add an open feel while a delayed synth lead sits perfectly alongside the bass key changes. The result is an aptly titled track that fizzes with energy. Belying, its chunky groove, "Nightshift" is a smooth and evocative affair that lilts effortlessly along with a parallel lead line cutting through the assembled array of delays and reverbs that shine at the breakdown. Hitting its stride once more, the powerful bass groove makes its presence felt strongly in the second half. In collaboration with Seyah, "The Last Day" is meticulously crafted track that bounces along with club-friendly credentials, textured pads and meandering synth lines. Mesmeric in its construction, intermittent laser-like effects break up the dramatic and hypnotic groove.

An artist of rare repute and impressive credentials, Namito is a renowned figure with his impressive work for the likes of Balance Music, Yoshitoshi and Sol Selectas. Indeed, the Iranian born producer has seen considerable success for Sabo's US imprint with the number one single, "Stone Flower", and its 2.5 million Spotify streams. Making his Proton Music debut, the Namito remix of "Poison" is a typically impressive interpretation with its hypnotic groove and perfectly cadenced keys. Making innovative use of Michael A's original components, a delicate arpeggio trips its way across the near 7-minute piece rising and falling with ease, joined by a delightfully melancholy string passage post breakdown.

A second remix sees Martina Mozzoni and Matias Villafañe make their Proton Music debut via their Alto Astral moniker. Already seeing their music find its way onto such esteemed imprints as 3rd Avenue, Movement Recordings and Balkan Connection, the duo's work for Particles has resulted in a pair of superb remixes for Juan Deminicis and Petar Dundov. Now debuting on Proton Music, the Alto Astral rework of "Fantasy" is a highly accomplished and polished interpretation that glistens and excites with an impeccable dancefloor groove. Building with vocal flourishes, it opens-up in an entirely new direction with a new vocal phrasing added to Michael A's instrumental original. A stunning breakdown adds further loquacious vocal passages as the track drops back into its rhythmic and bass-driven groove in the final stages.

A fourth outing with magical qualities sees Michael A reach new heights through "Fantasy, Vol. 4", ably assisted by remixes from Namito and Alto Astral.

We're a family of electronic music makers + lovers.  Proton is a radio station (www.protonradio.com) and powers distro for 2K+ indie electronic labels (https://protonrad.io/Label-FAQ).

“If I can get my self to the space in between the music, then I have achieved much. Thanks 
to the creative source for allowing me to plug into it. I am forever humbled.”

Kriz was born into a musical family where he developed an early passion for music. His father, an electronic engineer, built him a synthesizer and a DJ mixer when he was 8 and 13 years old respectively. These devices became his tools for learning music synthesis and sound design, skills that he has honed for over 30 years. He produces music under the alias ---Ӝ LIVING THEORY Ӝ ---and performs as☼ K-R-I-Z-Z-O-L-O-G-Y ☼.

Kriz has been part of the electronic dance music scene in South Africa since its underground beginnings. He has played at various clubs and raves, sharing the stage with many other DJs. However, he does not measure his success by his venues or collaborators, but by his ability to create a journey for the dancers on the floor. He says: "It has always been about the journey". His sets are characterized by smooth transitions, groovy melodies and tight beats that build up to a sonic climax. Besides being a career airline pilot, Kriz also draws parallels between flying and making music. He says that both require respect for the art and subtle movements that can change the direction or mood.

Kriz's motto as a producer and performer is to find the space between the music and use it to manipulate the groove. He says: "If I can get myself into that space, then I have achieved much, because it is there that I can make the dancers move as one with my pace".
