Premiere: FACTORe - Leave Me In The Ocean (Framewerk Remix)

A passionate advocate of modern organica, Beije are a welcome addition to the Proton Music roster with their full debut EP in the shape of "Ardere".

Based in Toronto, Quinton De Freitas and Vance Morgan have carved out a beautifully distinctive sound under the Beije moniker. Coming together in 2018, they describe their sound as a blend of hypnotic rhythms and melancholic melodies coming together to create unforgettable moments on the dancefloor." These "moments" have translated to more than a double century of production credits on a raft of esteemed imprints that include 3rd Avenue, Café De Anatolia, Harabe and Paul Hazendonk's MNL.

A pair of remixes have shone brightly within the Proton Music catalogues with typically impressive reworkings of Juan Deminicis' "Water" in March 20222 and Lisandro's "Love" at the end of the same year. Now returning mid-way through 2024, the "Ardere" title track is a gloriously multi-faceted affair that ripples enticingly with a complex percussive groove and deep sub-bass pattern. A shimmering arpeggio takes up the mantle, rising and falling with ease, while a complimentary piano adds a deft touch. Building easily through its different phases, the various melodic elements combine easily in subtle and hypnotic fashion, perfect for late-night dancefloor adventures.

With its bongo-tinged top line element and heavy kick, "Impetus" is further developed with filtered motifs that evolve in smooth waves of sonic beauty. An elegant piano sequence is added to proceedings at the mid-point providing a delicate counterpoint to the metronomic synth. Open-filtered energy emerges through the breakdown and via understated effected touches, before rhythmic elements drop back into the fray with a dynamic vibrancy.

The final track finds "Lumina" taking centre stage with its off-beat hats and reverb-soaked melodic touches. Driving forward with a strong kick, a searing and free-flowing synth line cuts through the mix with ease. Complementary pads add to the sonic stratification in thickly textured atmosphere before a trademark piano phrase adds rare beauty. Rising to a breakdown crescendo, the various rhythmic elements drop back in before the melodic phrases add aural intrigue in the latter movements.

Burning brightly with a music triptych of the highest quality, Beije impress with "Ardere".

🐍️ David Phoenix – The Keenest Eye 🐍️

Release date 🌀 09/08/2024

The portal reveals a realm adorned with vibrant red leaves drifting gently through the air. In the center, a figure leaps with graceful agility, their identity concealed in the shadowy silhouette of a warrior reminiscent of ancient legends. The scene exudes an aura of mystery and honor, inviting contemplation of the warrior’s symbolic significance in this uncharted realm. What tales of valor and skill lie hidden behind the veil of this enigmatic warrior’s visage? The fluttering leaves whisper secrets of battles fought and wisdom gained, painting a picture of a solitary journey through landscapes unknown.

DAVID PHOENIX sets the stage with THE KEENEST EYE, a blend of rhythmic beats meticulously intertwined with sounds evoking martial artistry. Each note resonates with the disciplined movements of the unseen warrior, creating a compelling fusion of music and combat prowess. In a transformative twist, FANTOO remixes THE KEENEST EYE into a potent techno interpretation, amplifying the original’s essence with a cleaner groove, driving forward with relentless energy.

Premiere: Sarkis Mikael - Stay ft. St. Terrible & WEND (CIOZ Remix) [Dreaming Awake]

We're happy to present our new track. Out last Friday 9th August. 

This one is a remix of Tomorrow by Jerome Isma Ae and Paul Thomas that originally came out on Toolroom 14 years ago (and hit the number 1 spot on Beatport). Our version is out on our home away from home label UV.

We're massive fans of Jerome and Paul and so when they asked us to remix this classic of theirs we obviously jumped at the chance!

The riff is a belter and there were loads of great samples to work with. On first hearing it we had this idea of making a bassline like Scorchio by Sasha & Emerson (an all time classic that you have to check out if you don't already know it).
We did so but on sending it around to our friends we had comparisons to Armand van Helden instead (which we were definitely happy about too!)

The rest of the track came together nicely, with a disco influence to the drums and then those great vocals from the original providing the cherry on top.

Early radio support has come from Above & Beyond, Solarstone, Cosmic Gate, Sultan & Shepard, Paul Thomas, Raz Nitzan, Aly & Fila and loads more., and we've had great feedback from some of our favourite artists including Joris Voorn, Eelke Kleijn, Nora En Pure, PvD, Sister Bliss, Andy Moor, Just Her, Judge Jules and more so a huge thanks everyone for the support so far!

The track is out now to download exclusive at Beatport (where it is already up to 10 in the prog chart) and to stream everywhere.
