2020 sees Ormatie returns to Proton Music after an eight-year hiatus with a brand-new original EP in the shape of "Taifun / Uragan". Remixes come from Irish and Moldovan stalwarts.

An artist who burst onto the progressive house scene in 2008 with a remix of Andy Moor & Markus Schulz for the latter's Coldharbour imprint and the three-track "Emoke" EP for Nick Warren's Hope, Ormatie rose rapidly to the highest echelons of the underground dance industry. Further work for Hope and a clutch of credits for Proton, including July 2009's "Birthdays" and September 2010's "Mon Etoile" saw continued success. Now, the Russian returns in 2020 with a new twin-track EP. "Taifun" is full of trademark intricate rhythms and immaculately programmed melodic elements. Swaying gently across the stereo spectrum, a filtered arpeggio wax and wanes, while smooth pads speed and slow with sublime synchronised LFO. Building elegantly into the third movement a bassline progression and emotive chords provide the perfect vehicle for a swathe of counterpoint melodies and searing lead line to flourish. "Uragan" opens with deep kick and fizzing percussive top-line that fills the aural senses. Before long an arpeggio works its off-kilter magic alongside muted stabs that ping-pong left and right. A glorious bassline adds weight and layers of melody paint a vibrant picture from a wonderful sonic palette.

Gavin Mulhall's Silinder alter-ego needs little introduction to those familiar with the Proton Music catalogue. Always in-demand with his flawless production work and innate talent, the Irish artist continues to carve his name into the annals of underground dance music. Since his "Corrupt" debut in September 2012, 2013's "Solas" and 2015's "Basement" have both showcased outstanding original work, while remixes for Andre Sobota, Terry Grant and Dousk has further showcased Silinder's talent. Returning after an August 2019 reworking of Imran Khan, his remix of "Taifun" is an intelligently crafted affair with its chunky rhythmic framework and innovative use of original components. In trademark fashion, a superfluity of original production material infuses Silinder's work, replete with delayed-drenched motifs and reverb-coated keys. The result is a perfect example of why his name is still held in such high regard.

Alex and Andrew have found much success with their two-headed dragon alter-ego. Through Lanvary, the duo has consistently hit the heights with their inventive musical ideas and unique sonic identity. Regulars on Particles since 2015 with the "Micromegas", "Penumbra" and "Leviathan" EPs, 2017's "Venus" and October 2019's "Everything You Feel", lit up the Proton Music catalogue with vivid original work. Adding remixes for Andre Sobota, Hot TuneiK and GMJ & Matter to their burgeoning portfolio, the Lanvary interpretation of "Taifun" is energy-driven affair that packs a punch with wonderfully grooved bassline and rhythmic backdrop. Smooth melodic flourishes that owe their origins to the Ormatie original, glitter before a new motif form the Lanvary production studio emerges in jaunty fashion alongside sympathetic pads to create a highly innovative and impressive reworking.

A powerful storm front has thrust Ormatie back into the limelight with "Taifun / Uragan" and remixes from Silinder and Lanvary.

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).

Say hello: info@protonradio.com

My name is Tibor Hegedüs (Fiddler), I was born on 20th December, 1981 in Győr (Hungary). 
I have been attracted by music since I was 10. During my teenager years I collected the most melodic tracks. My first "lovers" were the songs of Depeche Mode and Bonanza Banzai, then there was a turn in my life, caused by the enormous development of electronic music. 
That time I really enjoyed listening to the artists of Hardcore and Happy Hardcore, for example Charly Lownoise & Menthal Theo, Dune, RMB, Raver'S'Nature. Each of them became my favourite one and even nowadays I like to find them for a short play, if I’m in the mood. 

Afterall, I preferred listening to a wider range of music. I was steadily intoxicated by Trance & Techno. I was immediately fascinated by the happiness and delight in the world of Trance and on the other hand I was carried away by the pumping of the robust and dark Techno sounds. My favourite trance artists are Paul Van Dyk and Armin Van Buuren and from techno: Chris Liebing, Rush, Marco Carola. 

Afterwards the trance atmosphere was dominant for me, then Progressive House amazed me when it appeared in the electronic dance music world. 
That's the stlyle which fits me the most, which I really like to listen to and play as well. In my opinion the greatest artists are – just to mention a few of them: Kintar, Mango, Maindave, Michael & Levan, Embliss, C-Jay, Ivan Nikusev, Ali Inzel, Moshic, Deluna, Loquai, Bobby Deep, Christos Fourkis, Faskil or M.A.Z.7 from foreign side, and of course, the greatest Hungarians are: Elfsong/Style Clash, Aeron Aether, Retroid, East Cafe, Soundstorm..
My aim is to really focus on my producer work in the near future, I hope successfully :)

Jamie Garry’s biography 

Jamie Garry is a 52 year old DJ/Producer from Leeds Uk 
Who’s been DJING around 36 years starting when he was 13 years old on a pirate radio station in leeds called ABC FM. Before that Jamie would play everything from Queen, Chic and Micheal Jackson with a huge love of his thriller album.
He first got into dance beats listening to early hip hop electro albums that he collected starting from electro 5 on tape then buying all the other albums on vinyl what he’d play on a old wooden gramophone that belong to his parents.
He started listening to pirate radio where one day he got a request phone line number that he rang and told them he always wanted to be a DJ. Fortunately they met him as he explained where he lived and it wasn’t far from the radio station and it went from there with Jamie DJING most days playing hip hop and soul and then as he got older it was most evenings playing house music what he first heard from his brother who gave him a house sounds of Chicago tape. At 13 Jamie couldn’t mix two tracks together until at age 15 he accidentally mixed two tracks together and remembered the number on the pitch control and practiced with the same records every time he went to the radio station and Jamie honed is skills and before long could mix every record he played even speeding some slow records up from 33 to 45 so he could mix them together . Jamie’s dad recognised his talent and bought Jamie a set of technics 1210s when he was around 16 years old.
Jamie’s mum spotted a advertisement in the local newspaper from a DJ agent called Barry Phillips so he got in contact and started playing wedding nights at pubs and one day did queens court what he loved so Jamie wanted to get out into the clubs where he believed he belong.
Jamie constantly practiced mixing and scratching in his bedroom doing tapes and passing them to clubs and promoters and a blues In chapletown picked him up for around 7 months playing house music and Jamie was also still playing on radio until he got a break at a club called Hi Flyers next to the Queens hotel weekly along side big named DJs including Dave Seaman (Brothers In Rhythm) and even MTV was there at one of the nights and Jamie got a job in a record shop in Harrogate DJING behind the counter playing the vinyl for sale in the shop.
Jamie then stated getting more and more noticed and played quite a lot of venues in leeds and London a night called SW1 along side DJs Fabio, Grooverider, LTJ Bukem, Colin Dale and more until one day he got his break in leeds by sending a demo tape to the promoters of one of the biggest nights in leeds and the uk called Up Yer Ronson who also had early nights named Kaos and Soak. He played along side names Sasha, John Digweed, Brandon Block, Graeme Park, Alister Whitehead and others where Jamie got a residency . 
Jamie got booked to play another huge night called Ark playing along side Carl Cox, X Press 2, Welly, DJ Sy, Rob Tissera and more 
He then started playing all over the world and all over the uk places everywhere from Nottingham, Bradford, Howden Amsterdam to Ibiza. Jamie was also booked regularly on a local radio station called Dream FM where he also played a few nights for them at The Mansion in Headingley, The Trades Club and the Town and county club for a charity night called Off The Street with a huge DJ line up and bands including Sisters Of Mercy, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and the Utah Saints and they were a album for the night Jamie did included all for a good cause. 
The Ark and Up Yer Ronson nights finished but Jamie didn’t with his huge huge passion for music. Jamie was DJING and resident DJ at three nights Joi (Howden) Alchemy (York) and The Egg (The Pleasure Rooms leeds) playing along side the likes of Todd Terry.
