A welcome returnee to the Proton Music fold, Savvas Karabinos, has been a regular on the flagship label since a 2019 debut remixing Turkish star, Erdi Irmak. Two further remixes for Rick Pier O'Neil followed in 2020 and 2021 before a debut original EP appeared in the shape of February 2022's 3-track "Reminisce" including remixes from RIGOONI and Vridian. A second EP followed a year later with "Crescent Moon" as another trio of powerful original tracks were paired with remixes from Juan Deminicis and Andrea Cassino.

Now returning with another musical triptych, "Craving Spaces" is redolent in the rich sonic landscapes of textured pads and dreamy melodic passages. Underpinned by a heavy beat and huge sub-bassline, haunting motifs sit atop creating an air of elegant juxtaposition against the hypnotic rhythm. As the seasons shift from late summer to another Northern Hemisphere autumn, "Falling Leaves" enthrals with its subtle melancholy of light melodic touches following the narrative of its predecessor. Immaculately cadenced synths are used to develop a swathe of cascading musical ideas while textured pads create a vivid sonic landscape. A driving beat and ticking percussive hi-hats add to the picture in another moment of rare beauty. The final track sees "We Are" immediately carry on the mantle of driving rhythmic force combined with perfectly placed deep house chords and floating chord progressions that swim across the stereo spectrum. The delayed vocal effects and vibrant arpeggio of a post-breakdown second half creates a dynamic and powerful track.

An Australian artist with an impressive reputation within the underground dance fraternity, Patrick Carrera has been at the vanguard of progressive, organic and deep house sounds for over a decade. Through his MUUI moniker, over 500 production credits thus chart a path across such esteemed imprints as Sudbeat Music, Global Underground and Eelke Klein's Outside The Box, plus a further 300 credits on his own Here Now. A trio of remixes for Proton Music dating back to 2014 and a reworking of Kobana, have seen subsequent rerubs of Imran Khan and Mark Slee in 2019 and 2020 as MUUI returns for the first time in over 4 years. Reimagining "Falling Leaves", MUUI's skill is create a silky-smooth version that retains the laid-back melodic groove of the original while creating a rhythmic foundation that retreats elegantly into the mix in the early phases, while a deep and resonant kick drives the track forwards. Making full use of Savvas' original components a raft of additional production evolves in the second half including a sumptuous twinkling arpeggio and vocal touches, creating a triumphant remix.

Based in the capital of the Ontario province, Beije have carved out an impressive niche from their Toronto home. Able to point to a double century of production credits on the likes of Harabe, Café De Anatolia and The Purr, a pair of Proton Music remixes for Juan Deminicis and Lisandro in 2022, paved the way for 2024's remarkable "Ardere" EP in August 2024". The 3-track original EP was chock-full of masterful production technique and trademark melodic touch, showcasing the Canadian pair's inimitable style and craft. Now returning for a third remix, Beije have captured a delicate dancefloor groove with the muted and cadenced chords that fill the melodic spaces of the original. Moreover, the addition of diaphanous and free-flowing piano phrasing at the mind-point and through the third movement adds a subtle and delicate touch to proceedings, completed further by subtle vocal effects. The result is another stunning Beije production.

With the addition of immaculate remixes from MUUI and Beije, Savvas has found that "Craving Spaces" is the perfect way to showcase a trio of exceptional new original works.

Besnik Koshi aka Extenzion was born September 12th, 1984 in Sarajevo in the corridor of the maternity hospital since he was so impatient to see the world around him. He started showing interest in the electronic music at the beginning of year 2000 when he attended festival „Futura“ which was first festival of this kind in SE Europe. After that he joined organization „Positive Sound“ where he started learning and improving his knowledge as well as working on promotion of parties and electronic culture in Sarajevo. At the beginning of year 2005 in cooperation with a very good friend of his, Mersel Bujak (aka Infected) he started working on a concept of a radio show „E Music Magazine“ on a local radio station 202 which was always symbol of urban, alternative music and experimental sound in Sarajevo. After sudden success of this radio show at the end of year 2005 they started working on the project „10 years of electronic scene in Sarajevo“ which was broadcasted as New Year's program on Radio 202. After that they worked on promoting Festival Exit (in 2005 and 2006) and through their voluntary work supported rebuilding Dom mladih – Center Skenderija which was simbol of youth even in the past and through that accomplished cooperation with Revival Festival. In 2006 he started working as a resident DJ in Sarajevo's clubs „The Bar“ and „Cinema Sloga“ where he shared his knowledge about electronic music and love for it through his sets that were always different and which were blending Deep-House, Tech-House, Progressive-House and Techno sounds. In July 2006 he had joint performance with DJ Incefected under the name „Infected & Extension“ on a festival Exit on a set DJ Superstar where they had impressive performance. After that performances were just lining up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Kosovo where he always tried to transfer his positive energy and knowledge he gained. He created many compilation CDs that left impressive impact and got amazing feedback from the audience (Progressive Sevdah, Cold & Heat, I Go Deep, Elixir of Life). He established cooperation with Darin Epsilon and Eelke Klejn through promotion of their shows on Radio 202 and educating people on current sound all over the world. He also worked with names like Hernan Cattaneo,Darren Emerson,Luis Junior, DJ Tarkan,Randell Jones.
