Returning to Proton Music after a successful 2019, Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat present a bright new vision with "Beyond the Future, Vol. 1".

From Cali, south-west of the Bogota capital, Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat have been pivotal in advancing their country's underground dance movement. Rising out of the Cauca Valley, the duo has been responsible for a swathe of high-profile music. Both successful artists in the own rights, Sanclemente has amassed over 450 production credits since a debut for Suite 7 Records in 2013, going on to feature on some of the most prestigious independent imprints including Massive Harmony Records, Univack and Nick Warren's "Balance Presents the Soundgarden" in late 2018. A relative newcomer to the underground scene, Dabeat's solo work has seen him feature for BeatFreak Recordings, Pollen Flug Records and Freegrant Music.

Joining forces, the collaborative pairing has consistently hit the headlines with their distinctive brand of progressive house, lighting up the likes of Mango Alley, Hope and UV. January 2019 saw a Proton Music debut in the shape of the outstanding "Spiral Patterns", further enhanced by a remix from Brazilian maestro, Andre Sobota. A remix for Peter Makto & Gregory S's "Purple Rain" was another notable highlight in May as Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat return with the first in a series of EPs that follow in the footsteps laid by Erdi Irmak and Rick Pier O'Neil, as they start out "Beyond the Future".

Opener, "Zemula", is full of rhythmic prowess as a strong percussive groove lays the perfect foundation for rippling arpeggios and siren synth lead to course through the 8-min offering. Ambient effects and sweeping risers add additional texture to a wonderful club floor-filler. The complementary tracks of "Feline" and "Ausar" delight with their languorous rhythmic patterns as grooved plucks and clever bassline sequences add rich syncopation. Unhurried lead lines ripple across proceedings to create flowing melodic patterns while atmospheric vocal phrases add depth. The driving kick and off-beat percussion of "Asgard" provides immediate dancefloor character, tempered by stratified layers of arpeggiated sequences and rising pad progressions that reach a crescendo in a tension-fuelled breakdown. Rhythm and melody then combine once more in the third movement to maximum effect.

With its seething atmosphere, "Aerology", is a mesmerising collage of grooved bassline and melodic motif that provide a superb counterweight to intelligently programmed percussion. Adding to the aural melange a relentless sequence builds post-breakdown to strong effect before "Magma" spews forth with bristling power and dancefloor heat. Flowing hypnotically through arpeggiated phrase, a counterpoint chord progression provides weight before a grooved melodic line opens up in the second half, creating a dynamic and powerful climax.

Six tracks of the highest order see Kamilo Sanclemente securing the present while looking firmly "Beyond the Future".

Serendeep opens another chapter by welcoming Kamilo Sanclemente & Zalvador to the label with debut three track showcase “Zaniah”. Rising from Cali, Colombia, Kamilo Sanclemente is renowned worldwide for his unique style of progressive house, releasing through exclusive labels such as Solee’s Parquet Recordings, Samuel Kindermann’s Einmusika, Guy Mantzur’s Plattenbank. His collaboration with fellow countryman Zalvador promises and strengthens the progressive imprint.


The energy levels with a thumping groove makes ‘Zaniah’ headlines of the EP. Combination of atmospheric pads and evolving hypnotic arpeggios creates contrast in the masterpiece. ‘Messier’ & ‘Crystal Cave’ completes the 24 Min EP. Serendeep continues now build on that momentum for the Sri Lankan imprint.

Hitting multiple milestones with his "One Side of the Underground" series, Rick Pier O'Neil returns with a fourth volume that includes three originals and remixes from UK and Greek mainstays.

A celebrated trio responsible for a host of high-profile releases on an array of labels including their own Kunai Records and Mistique Music imprints, "The Sinner" sees Rick Pier O'Neil and Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic join forces on a deep and dark progressive offering that revels in rolling bass groove and driving rhythm. A rich array of melodic layers evolve effortlessly through the piece, swimming across the left-right spectrum as breathy vocal phrases juxtapose against an overdriven bass motif with sinister authority. "Votan" continues the driving beat of the opener adding intricate percussive cadence and hypnotic bassline power. White-noise washes add a sense of space before of reverb-laden and delay-drenched motif joins a swathe of textured pads. Pitch-bent analogue bass notes add further intrigue in the breakdown and third movement to devasting effect in a wonderfully atmospheric track. The immediate dancefloor rhythms of "Ixchel" provide the perfect framework for light and airy melodic phrases to sweep across the mid-range with ease. Coupled to a smooth and free-flowing lead line and syncopated arpeggio, the track is a cleverly orchestrated piece of sonic craftsmanship.

A regular on Proton Music with a raft of original music including 2017's full-length album, "In the Ether", James Monro has been dining at underground dance music's top table for many years. 2013's "Fonik", 2015's "Nectar" and January 2020's "Drift" EP have all highlighted Monro's remarkable attention to detail and devastating dancefloor power, honed from decades spent behind the decks at clubs and festivals across the globe. Returning to the label after February's remix of Subconscious Tales, James Monro has taken "Manipulation" on an extraordinary progressive breaks trip that acts as a time-machine to the halcyon days of the genre with its pulsating and rasping bassline and symphonic landscape that delights with texture, energy and emotion in abundance. Cleverly reinterpreting O'Neil's original, James Monro has succeeded in reinventing a sound that will resonate with a huge range of listeners through its stuttered breakbeat rhythms, raw power and melodic intrigue.

Savvas is another artist requiring little introduction to the Proton Music and Particles faithful. The Chicago born, Greek based artist has featured regularly on the latter since August 2017's remix of Michael A, before September 2019's "Mindfulness" EP saw a pair of originals accompanied by remixes from Imran Khan and Izzet. A single remix of Erdi Irmak's "Nothing Lasts" represents the Savvas contribution to Proton Music as he now follows up with a smooth and hypnotic reinterpretation of "Earth Mover". A framework of grooved bassline and ticking percussive groove combine effortlessly with O'Neil's original elements before a glassy and delayed arpeggiated motif ripples across the 9-minute track. Building through layers of counterpoint melody and sumptuous effects, the result is a brilliantly contemplative remix.

Rick Pier O'Neil, Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic - The Sinner (Original Mix)

The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes Da Luka to the label for his debut single. The Albanian artist has grown into his country's premiere progressive house talent, backed by the support of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Guy J and Cid Inc, while releases on Balkan Connection, Dopamine Music and Soundteller Records highlight his discography. Now making his much anticipated Dopamine White debut Da Luka presents his new single 'Into The Stars' alongside remixes from Eric Lune and Kenan Savrun.

Beginning with the Original Mix, Da Luka moves into deep, progressive territory with a warm spacious groove, smooth rhythms and clusters of tantalizing effects. Alluring and mysterious, it's dramatic flair rises with layers of percussion and spacey sweeps leading to a section of emotive chord changes. Cosmic motifs continue to saturate your senses, perfectly setting up an interlude of astral meadorings before smoothly segueing into a groovy finale.

The first interpretation of 'Into The Stars' is provided by Eric Lune who makes his label debut. Having appeared on parent label Dopamine Music in January of last year the Aussie artist also calls Juicebox Music, Plattenbank, Sound Avenue and Timeless Moment home. Now following two well received collaborations with Juan Sapia, Eric makes his Dopamine White debut with a gorgeous rendition of 'Into The Stars'. Setting the piece in motion is a bed of tough beats and mountainous bass tones. Airy vocal fragments and smooth chord changes elevate mood as layers of percussion and colourful melodies flow through the framework. Poignant tones continue to bend the narrative across the main break, adding waves of emotion, before a tasteful crescendo cues a euphoric conclusion.

The release concludes with Kenan Savrun providing the second and final interpretation of 'Into The Stars'. Hailing from Ankara, the Turkish artist has a long history as a DJ dating back to 2003, having shared the booth with Alex Niggemann, Eli and Fur, Andy Bros, Victor Ruiz and Oliver Huntemann. Upon releasing his first productions in September of 2018, Kenan has since gone on to showcase his music on 3rd Avenue, Droid9, Eat My Hat and Movement Recordings. Now making his much-anticipated Dopamine White debut, Kenan provides a powerful rendition of 'Into The Stars'' to round the release out on a strong note. Anchored by a driving groove, the Turkish artist's rhythmic drum work and fluid electronics build a strong cadence. Shimmering arps add nicely to it's hypnotic storyboard, while swirling effects and luminous tones perfectly segue into the main break. Spanning over a minute in length, the interlude is tastefully tense, backed by a solemn air and laced with crisp designs and powerful bass swells, before effortlessly shifting energy into a pulsating finale. Another inspired remix from Kenan Savrun, which caps off an excellent offering from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White. Don't miss it.

Amsterdam Dance Event goes online for the first time in mid-October. With dance floors noticeably vacant, digital music becomes more vital than ever. Perspectives Digital thus welcomes back the best-selling artist on last year’s sampler! Relatively new to the scene, Mode Apart describes his music as "a unique fusion of electronic genres.” This became very apparent when Armin van Buuren played the title track, “Voyage," on A State Of Trance 974. Bearing the same energy, it features anthemic leads, ticking percussion and angelic sighs.

A Distant Memory

Premiere: Balad - A Half Remembered Dream [Sound Avenue]

MW005 - Luka Sambe - Alive Is The Meaning (inc. RIGOONI, Tripswitch remixes)

Earning a growing reputation with its distinctive sound and immaculate curation, Meanwhile delivers another label debutant as Luka Sambe reveals, “Alive is the Meaning”. A pair of remixes from Brazil and the UK complete a global portrait.

Michael Acuri is no stranger to the electronic music scene. Well-respected across the underground dance fraternity with his unique blend of progressive, tech and deep house, his Luka Sambe soubriquet continues to supply music of the highest quality. Indeed, releases for Guy J’s Lost & Found, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Robert Babicz’s Babiczstyle illustrate precisely why the Australian is one of the industry hottest properties counting almost 300 production credits to his name, stretching back some 7 years. Immediately compelling, Luka Sambe’s Meanwhile debut bristles with percussive energy in the opening phrases, as a heavy kick and cavernous sub-bass provide the perfect syncopated framework for a developing array of melodic textures. Building with delicate and consummate ease, “Alive is the Meaning” sees a glorious range of free-flowing melodies percolate and swirl across a 9-minute magnum opus that hypnotises with its dizzying stereo-panning and shimmering arpeggiated patterns rising to a rousing crescendo. The result is a gloriously constructed, highly original track.

Operating out of his Sao Paolo home, RIGOONI is a relative newcomer to the progressive house scene after a January 2018 debut for Digitment Records. Quickly making waves with his standout compositions, the self-taught producer found his music represented on Nick Warren’s Balance compilation via “Dreamed Numbers” in October 2019. Moreover, February 2020 saw the release of his “Serenade” EP for Warren’s The Soundgarden imprint. Supported by the likes of Nicolas Rada, Armen Miran and Hernan Cattaneo, RIGOONI’s additional work for the likes of Superordinate Music, Clinique and MNL, have shone a light on the Brazilian artist. A pounding beat juxtaposed against subtle melodic phrasing characterises the RIGOONI remix as the track moves with power and hypnotic pace. Making clever use of core themes within the Luka Sambe original, RIGOONI’s skill is take these as a starting point and extend on them through a series of new motifs and free-flowing patterns that reveal themselves at the breakdown and into an innovative third movement.

Nick Brennan is an artist who needs little in the way of an introduction to the underground dance cognoscenti. Through his Tripswitch pseudonym, the UK artist has delivered a multitude of material over a career stretching back almost two decades. A celebrated DJ with a global performance schedule and the monthly “Harmonics” show on Frisky Radio, Tripswitch’s production career has seen releases on Sudbeat, Global Underground and Bedrock. His own onedotsixtwo continues to provide a powerful vehicle for his own music alongside a host of talented others and a Meanwhile debut provides a glorious reworking of “Alive is the Meaning”. Glistening with a rich melodic sheen that has its roots in the Luka Sambe original, the remix showcases a wide-reaching gamut of production material from the Tripswitch studio. Pulsating waves of sound flow gently across the left-right spectrum. Shimmering keys twinkle alongside multi-layered pads and swells that rise and fall with ease, while a sumptuous bassline groove then adds weight and structure to a spell-binding interpretation.

Alive through sound, Luka Sambe, RIGOONI and Tripswitch have all found meaning through their immaculate production work.
