An artist with an impressive recent history, Chicago born, Greece based, Savvas, returns to Proton Music with the brand new "Crescent Moon" EP. Making his label debut with a trio of remixes between 2019 and 2021, a debut original EP followed in February 2022 via "Reminisce" as three original tracks plus remixes from RIGOONI and Vridian showcased an exceptional offering. With another triptych to his name, the "Crescent Moon" title track is a beautifully evocative piece that evolves majestically over its 9-minute duration. Hypnotic keys and counterpoint melodies fire off each other as strings, pads and effects take their turn vying for listener attention in the resulting rich opener. "Wonder' quickly creates a melancholy vibe with its delicate piano sequences that extend in organic fashion across a rock-steady kick and shuffling percussion. Beautifully imagined vocal phrasing adds to the air of sadness and delicacy as a smooth arpeggio provides another graceful tone in the latter stages along with strings and sympathetic melody. Sparkling arpeggiated sequences immediately highlight an upbeat air in "Lullaby" before they drift away at the mid-point allowing for strong rhythmic elements to come to the fore. A further combination of meticulously engineered elements sees a second half suffused with poise and lightness of touch.

Juan Deminicis has been a staple of the Proton Music catalogue for more than a decade. Since a 2012 debut, the Argentinean has released five original EPs that have seen such stellar offerings as "Behind the Sun", "Life on the Moon" and July 2022's "Cycles". Remixes for GMJ, Mark Slee and Michael A have seen equally impressive production work as Juan Deminicis now returns with a typically assured reworking of "Crescent Moon". Through a trademark rolling groove and intricate rhythmic framework, the central motif of Savvas' original is reworked in mesmerising fashion as a cast of new production material join forces, not least in a piercing new melodic phrase and whispering vocal cut that make a play in the second half. Organic house elements flow through the 7-minute interpretation with flute and traditional instruments combining as Juan Deminicis once again demonstrates why his production work is so sought after.

Another Proton Music regular with such celebrated releases as "Divine", "Losing Part of Me" and "Asante", Andrea Cassino has been at the forefront of the progressive house scene for almost 15 years. Remixes for Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat, Rudy, Michael A and GMJ have also been notable highlights in the Italian-born producer's star-studded portfolio, as he now returns to remix Savvas. Characterised by an effortless bouncing bass groove and immaculately syncopated percussion, the Andrea Cassino interpretation of "Wonder" retains some of the core melodic themes while turning it into a rolling, club-friendly gem. Sweeping string passages and the haunting vocal prevalent in the original make their presence heard, particularly at the atmospheric and evocative breakdown before the mesmerising groove takes hold once more.

BIO:

Martin surely can be described as legend of Nuremberg‘s electronic music scene. In 1992, at the age of 16, he discovered his passion for electronic music and began playing vinyl on two borrowed Technics turntables. During that time he completed an internship at a local radio station (Radio N1), where he soon was recognized for his Djing. 

First bookings as „Martin Martinez“, his former Dj name, at various events of the radio station like „N1 Sunday Dancehall“ and the weekly radio show „N1 Club Night“ followed, where he not only played vinyl with lots of heart, but also took over the moderation of the radio show.

Especially as a resident of the „N1 Rave Signal“ events, which took place at Volksbad, an abandoned Art Nouveau-Style bath, he soon gained a large fan base with his captivating techno and breakbeat sets and weekly played on stage with famous musicians like Sven Väth, Westbam, Carl Cox, Earth Nation, Tanith, Resistance D, Jens Lissat, Oliver Lieb and many more.

To spred his wings wider and take his immense passion for Djing to the next level, he changed his name to Martin Groovic in 1995 and soon played gigs in all major techno clubs in Franconia such as Boot, Dolphin Club, Paisley Park, Forum, Lancia Odeon, DUB Club and the Octagon in Eltmann and invitations to clubs in Munich and festivals in Italy followed.

In 1996 he and two partners founded the legendary TOS Club, where he organized weekly club nights and after hours and quickly became a well known musician in the Nuremberg techno scene for blowing up the dancefloors with his unique music style. 

His characteristics as a deliverer of music are within the inexhaustible dimensions of sound, creating imaginary dream worlds within his listeners and taking them on a journey full of depth, magic and desires – always with an unconditional love to music. His repertoire ranges from rhythmic, spherical house and techno sounds filled with lots of emotion to downtempo and acid sounds with the right drive to dance the nights away.

In 1998, after two successful years of TOS, the club mysteriously burned down and Martin moved to Munich. In 2000 he founded his family and took a time out for several years. During his break the love to music still accompanied him in private, but now the passion for Djing and the wish to create musical suspense grew strong again. And so he‘s back, more motivated than ever, presenting new monthly mixes on his Soundcloud. In the near future Martin Groovic will surely be seen and heard again in the clubs.

House music isn’t just about the dancing it’s straight from the soul… 

I had to steal the following paragraph from ERAN AVINER SIMPLY because it is 💯 % unarguably correct.. 

“Because absolutely nothing compares to music. This language, whose universal vibes can 
be understood by anybody, connects people around the globe be it religions, cultures or ethnicity. Great tunes turn strangers into friends. One note expresses more emotions than a thousand words. Music goes on where words fall short. It simply touches your soul.

I am an intense lover of Melodic/Progressive/Organic/Deep House Music and so it goes the same for my DJ Sets.
