Progressive 23

2024

Hitting repeated heights with his "Parallel Words" EP series in August 2020 and April 2021, in addition to work for the likes of Anjunadeep, Replug and Monstercat, Nōpi now returns to Proton Music with another original offering. Showcasing his twin-track "Galactic / Overload" EP, the Ukrainian producer excels once more as the pounding beat and soft, shuffling shakers of "Galactic" bristle with a deep, elemental energy. Gently modulating synth lines merge with softly pulsating white-noise washes before a central motif makes its presence felt. Filtering easily, it is complemented by a swathe of effect and soundscapes while luscious pads add layers of listener interest. The result is an aptly named opener. "Overload" continues the chunky rhythmic poise of its partner track while an uptempo percussive energy and driving bassline groove create a dance-friendly character. Full of cadenced stabs that create a house vibe along with spoken vocal cuts, the track hits a powerful zenith in the latter stages before a new arpeggio is brought to the sonic collage in impressive work from the Nōpi studio.

A Particles regular since late 2009, Vinayak A has been at the forefront of dance music for over two decades. An esteemed figure within the underground dance fraternity, his work for Bedrock, Buddha Bar and Subtract, plus performances at festivals including Magnetic Fields, VH1 and Echoes of Earth have placed him as one of India's most successful dance artists and sound designers. After a recent Particles remix for Wolfframm in February 2024, Vinayak A now debuts on Proton Music with a typically innovative and carefully sculpted reworking of "Galactic". Steeped in trademark organic soundscapes, familiar elements from Nōpi's original are immaculately blended with instruments and phrasing from Vinayak's native India as a majestic piano chord and new bassline sequence sit perfectly amongst the original components to create a mesmeric new interpretation.

Recently joining the Proton roster with his "The Wind People" EP, Luke Mandala has a strong track record for a commitment to dance music that extends to mixing live wind instruments and drumming into his production work. A regular DJ across his northwest US home, Luke's work for Dreaming Awake, Digital Structures and Uniting Souls Music has seen him become a sought-after figure. Reworking "Overload", a delicate rhythmic opening, knocking woodpecker clave and atmospheric wind instrumentation, paves the way for a dark bassline groove to make its presences felt in the early stages. Waxing and waning with filtered and glissando intensity, familiar phrases from the original create a rich sonic landscape before the huge bassline dominance makes a play at the stunning breakdown before blending itself once more with the cast of melodic characters and spatial effects.

World dominance has come easily to Nōpi through his "Galactic / Overload" EP with further authority coming from Vinayak A and Luke Mandala.

Next up this summer on Nic Fanciulli's Saved Records is a release that we have been super excited to share with you even since we were first sent it back in 2019 and we're delighted to now be able to release the 'Nonsifa' EP from label favourite Ruben Mandolini who teams up with Riky Ild and Uness to bring you his latest outing. 

A record that has been in high demand ever since label boss Nic Fanciulli championed it at his Dance Or Die parties back in Ibiza 2019, 'Nonsifa' has already been heavily supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Fisher, Piero Pirupa, Marco Faraone and many more; truly indicative of Ruben and Riky's signature sound, oozing hypnotic vocals, an irresistible bassline, heavyweight Tech House drums, bubbling percussion and a grooving low-end. 

Ruben closes out the EP with another collab track, this time featuring the vocals of Uness, 'Take No More' maintains the high levels of energy with mesmerising vocals, stomping, raw drums and a commanding bassline running throughout

Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift / In Heat (C.H.A.Y. Edit)

@sobek1 Dj-Producer-Remixer-Housefather-Sendbro-Id wizard is back with two originals which were absolutely worth the wait. Just business melodic as usual: functional dance music that can't be classified as a certain style.

Many things can be toxic to someone, but in this case the extent of the poisoning is due to an overdose of synths. The rollercoaster starts from the first minute and the extreme ride is limited only by the wild boar strike-like bass in the lower part of the process. Sometimes.

Suddenly the lead arrives which I think is the name of the track hahaha, and then the “here is the drop-where is the drop” principle prevails. At the end we get into the haunted house where paranormal activities are fulfilled. Listen to me, this one played by everyone, so you don’t’ have to be scared…

As the title promise you’ll get the necessary tension, so just take it easy. You’re basking on underground subs, winding leads, emotional arpeggio, nicely then BUMM, the drama arrives, classic Sobek dramaturgy for “The Tensioner”

Let the #sendbro god open your wallets and transfer windows papis.

Cheers,
MULYA

Lisandro has become a firm favourite with the Proton faithful through his meticulously crafted music and elegant melodies. At the forefront of the underground dance scene with his smorgasbord of influences and genre-defying work, the Argentinean producer has seen his work feature on such esteemed imprints as Songuara, Amulanga and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas. A notable body of work can also be found on Lisandro's own Flug Lab imprint which continues to go from strength to strength as over a half-century of production credits chart a maturing path. No more is this evident than in February 2023's "Recurrence Soundtracks Netflix" which showcases a dozen electronica inspired pieces that formed the sonic background for the Netflix Spanish language film of the same name.

Proton Music has also seen the Lisandro sound well represented by both original and remix work. A trio of remixes for Erdi Irmak, Magitman and Cream saw the Buenos Aires resident make his presence felt in 2020 and 2021, before December 2022's "Traditions" took centre stage with its luscious soundscapes and head-shaking grooves.

Now returning to Proton Music, the "Eclectic" EP highlights another three tracks rich in imagination and elegant production work. In this musical triptych, Lisandro has explored a host of new ideas, giving rise to a powerful vision and unique sonic identity by pushing the envelope of modern electronic music. Perhaps the last word should be left to the artist himself, with Lisandro having the following to say about his new musical offering.

"I present to you my new EP: "Eclectic". This title reflects my vision of creating music that is a fusion of diverse influences and styles. "Eclectic" is a term used in the musical context to describe an approach that encompasses a wide range of influences and genres, blending them in a unique and original way. In this EP, I have pushed the boundaries of electronic music, merging elements from different genres to create an intriguing and diverse listening experience. Each track in "Eclectic" represents my passion for experimentation and the creation of unique sonic landscapes and club grooves. Immerse yourself in my eclectic musical world and discover the magic of style fusion! As an artist, I am thrilled to share this EP with you, and I hope you enjoy this musical journey as much as I did creating it. Thank you for your support, and I hope you find inspiration in this EP, "Eclectic".

From the Macedonian city of Serres in northern Greece, Simos Tagias has created a colourful musical history full of progressive house flair and melodic beauty. Returning to Meanwhile for a third original EP, the Greek artist dazzles with “Skyline / A Memory”.

Over the course of more than 400 production credits, Simos Tagias has continued to flourish, carving out a unique niche within the progressive house fraternity as his reputation and passion to his craft continue to produce a rich seam of valuable underground dance music. After a debut on Lynx Records in late 2012, Simos has gone on to feature on a plethora of high-profile imprints with a portfolio of original and remix material on the likes of Juicebox Music, Proton Music and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music.

March 2021 saw a Meanwhile debut in the shape of the twin-track “Euphoria / Emotion”, before a second original EP in February 2023 found “Archaios / Geometric” taking centre stage. Remixes for Imran Khan and Alex O’Rion have been further notable highlights as Simos Tagias now return to the GMJ & Matter led label with a third original offering and the “Skyline / A Memory” EP.

Propelled powerfully forward with an unrelenting kick and smooth percussive groove, “Skyline” immediately hypnotises with ticking hats and subtly melodious woodblock phrasing. A sub-bassline enters the fray to add cavernous dancefloor depth, while delay-infused synth sequences meander atop the rhythm section. A sublime arpeggio enters the fray at the mid-point alongside a canopy of white-noise washes and textured pads before the track erupts into its third movement with full-bodied dancefloor character. An immaculate balance of rhythm and melody transpires throughout the second half as filtered phrasing makes “Skyline” an essential club offering.

A chunky bass sequence and heavy kick provide a strong and mesmerising opening to “A Memory”. A brooding, seething club monster, refined melodic passages and intelligent chord progressions create a fizzing and emotive energy that continues to build across the 7-minute track. As new counterpoint layers are introduced, the track’s multi-faceted nature continues to delicately expose itself like newly discovered memory fragments until the whole picture is revealed at the breakdown and into a satisfying denouement. The result is yet another classy work.

Rising once more to the upper echelons of the progressive house scene, Simos Tagias flies high via his “Skyline / A Memory” EP.

Although the digital sun shines bright in Tulum always we would say there are some tunes which could be labelled as winter music typically. @igor_bartyuk (from mountainous Caucasian) and @valon_music (from ice-cold Sweden) are the masters of this genre and we're more than happy to work with them on a deep journey up here.

The title track is a very good example how to build a vibe staying low and strange only, very well tested, very well working out, low risk on "Deceit And Pretense". And what deceit and pretense means these times? We'll leave it on you to imagine, hehe.

"Blatant Case" is almost a B side - if you know what B side is - but how the world and dancefloors resonates on sorrowful and dark music we agreed on to include, and to be honest is also a great one. The door opening horror part is our favorite, can feel the tension and see trouble with our third eye after entering the room.

Last year a fan hit us with a really cool feedback on our set and said "noise with a purpose". Licensing his thought on this one.

Bummbumm,
Sobek and MULYA

„Ich spielte im Studio herum“, verrät @besvendsen. Dabei hatte er Spaß, die Grundlinie einer ziemlich berühmten Disco-Spur neu zu erstellen. “ Er möge es, Genres auseinanderzunehmen. „Deshalb war ich damals amüsiert, ein freches Banjo-Riff mit Rock-Trommeln und dieser Bass-Hook zu mischen“, gesteht der dänische Musiker. (...) „Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich nicht vor, diesen Track zu veröffentlichen, da er ein bisschen weit weg von dem ist, was ich heute tue.“ Aber @beatandpath, das Label, auf dem die Nummer mit einem Remix von @madmotormiquel erscheint, habe das Stück wirklich gefallen und wollte es rausbringen: „Also dachte ich mir: warum nicht?“ (...)

Introducing a new name to Manual Music, and keeping the long tradition of giving (Dutch) talent a platform to showcase their exceptional music to the world, we proudly present the debut release of Krohl.

Krohl doesn't appear completely out of nowhere. In fact the Tilburg based producer has been part of the more mainstream orientated duo Matt & Kendo who released their music on labels such as Toolroom, Spinnin Deep, Lemon-aid and Flamingo amongst others. He even worked together on projects with big commercial names such as Joeysuki, Lucas & Steve and Funkerman to name a few.

But the heart wants what the heart wants. Krohl always had a deeply rooted love for the underground scene and it's genres. A love that ultimately lead to this three track release on Manual Music, featuring the songs Manisa, Grund and Melamun.

His productions are deep, mature and warm. Rich of melodies and tiny little details that make each song come alive and sparkle. We can only hope that Krohl follows his passion for deep and underground music more often, because the results speak for themselves..
