Khen - My Pure Soul

An artist with a long, rich and varied history with Proton, Erdi Irmak has always been at the vanguard of the organica sound. Now he returns to the flagship label with a brand-new original track in "Nightwalker".

Over 70 production credits span the Erdi Irmak portfolio on both the Particles and Proton Music labels, a 2013 debut on the former quickly leading to the high watermark, "You're Either Guilty or Not Guilty" full-length album a year later. The "You in Me" and "Night" EPs opened the Turkish artist's account on Proton Music, before the "Hidden Arcadia" series quickly found its feet. 7 volumes later and a veritable smorgasbord of stunning original material and high-class remixes from the likes of Amháin, Rauschhaus and Nōpi, has seen Erdi form a special and organic relationship with the label as his music and production techniques have evolved over a 4-year period since "Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 1" debuted in late 2018.

Now returning with the smooth sounds of "Nightwalker", a deep and rolling percussive groove sits perfectly alongside a bassline full of subtle vibrancy. Female vocal cuts create a dancefloor energy as they add to the layered-groove effect while an analogue lead line creates a new and emotive direction at the breakdown. Extending into the second half, the return of familiar rhythmic components and cadenced vocals create another stunning track.

Adding to the EP, a delicate "2024 Retouch" of a pair of tracks from the "Hidden Arcadia" series supply another classy touch. From Vol. 2 a new version of "Echoes in Time" extends the rhythmic poise of the original while further developing the central melodic themes of the original. Additional vocal touches and a deep, smooth vibe create a perfect reworking a track and demonstrate how far Erdi's production skills have developed. Similarly, Vol. 4's "The Floating Bridge of Heaven" is another deep organic house interpretation that is centred around a silky rolling groove and meandering melodic flow. Retaining the central melodic ideas, counterpoint phrases and more uptempo vibe, generate a dancefloor friendly track that is perfect for Ibiza sunsets and sun-kissed terraces.

Continuing to show a unique craft and passion for his music, Erdi Irmak emerges into bright sunlight with his "Nightwalker" EP.
