Proton Pack #256

An established force in the world of underground dance, GMJ continues to combine hard work and talent with incredible results, fully illustrated in his new "Mystic Sea" EP for Proton Music.

Calling Melbourne home on the country's south-eastern coast, Gavin Griffin is a musical tour de force. Through his GMJ moniker, the Australian artist has continued to find himself at the forefront of his home city's musical scene by playing headline sets at the likes of the globally renowned "Rainbow Serpent" festival alongside fellow Melbourne resident, Matter. International performances in London and Amsterdam Dance event 2019 have continued to cement a rapidly rising reputation.

Contemporaneously, a production career has blossomed with "an innate passion for deep emotive electronic music" that has witnessed over 300 production credits in both solo and collaborative production guise for some of the finest modern imprints including: Balkan Connection, Sudbeat Music and Cid Inc.'s Replug. Moreover, the twin-track, "Emerge" EP saw GMJ combine forces with Matter and FunkForm for a debut appearance on the renowned Balance imprint in November 2019.

A regular on Particles with a host of original and remix production material, 2014's "Edge of Remembrance" and "Forgotten Wisdom" EPs opened the door into GMJ's musical soul before going on to release the "Sovereign Reality" and "Catharsis" EP on the flagship label in October 2017 and May 2019. Furthermore, the "Superposition", "Osmosis" and "Interscope" offerings between 2016 and 2019 shone a bright light on his symbiotic partnership with Matter, while a March 2018 interlude with Hungarian star, East Café, bore fruit with "22".

Now returning to Proton Music, "Mystic Sea" is an immaculately crafted title track that combines cavernous club kick with a ticking percussive top line and huge grooved bassline as a perfect foundation for opulently textured pads to rise and fall in waves of modulated and gated syncopation. Effortlessly moving forward, a richly sustained and rasping bassline progression adds further dynamism before a sublime lead line hits the foreground with spine-tingling precision at the mid-point. Extending hypnotically into the third movement, a storm of textures and rhythmic interplay create an ocean of sound.

"Another Life" continues the rich musical narrative as vocal pads ripple across the upper mid-range in lengthy pulsating delays. A chunky rhythmic framework provides ample dancefloor character alongside a subterranean bassline phrase as a sublime melodic motif gradually filters into sonic range in a breakdown of dizzying percussive effects. As hypnotic as it is beautiful the track evolves majestically over its seven-and-a-half-minute voyage.

A new twin-track EP sees the creative talents of GMJ fully set sail across the "Mystic Sea".

'Alpha' is a symbol of Saisons, it was composed in a remote chalet in the middle of the boréal forest of Northern Québec, which gave inspiration to it's delicate feel and palpable textures.

Release Info: 
Cid Inc’s Replug Records caps off a successful year by welcoming Dmitry Molosh back to the label for a new artist showcase. The Belarus native and progressive music favourite rounded out 2018 with his chart topping ‘Detektor’ EP for the Finnish imprint. 2019 has seen further successes, with EP’s for Guy J’s Armadillo Records and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music sitting as the highlights. Now fresh off a contribution to Nick Warren’s Balance compilation, Dmitry lands back on Replug with ‘Cascade’.

Firmly sitting amongst progressive music's elite, Dmitry continues to deliver some of the genre's most beloved tracks with 'Cascade' being the latest in a long line of gems. Fuelled by rhythm and groove; it's chunky foundation, driving percussion and buoyant rhythmic core form the backbone of this exhilarating journey. Panning effects and emerging atmopheres smoothly segue into the main break, shifting the narrative further into melodic territory. Sitting comfortably in an ethereal yet emotive space, the lead motif rises, resonating on a warm and inviting frequency, gently evolving across a foggy atmospheric backdrop, before a gentle rush sparks a thrilling final act.

The companion piece ‘Step By Step’ follows suit with an equally impressive display of rhythm and groove. Spacious and energetic, it’s a creation built around rolling bass tones and vibrant chord stabs. Ethereal phrases and buzzing effects converge as the first act unfolds, while colourful vocal fragments shift energy into the break. Timely modulation adds drama and tension across the one minute interlude, ultimately reaching a swirling crescendo and perfectly setting up a powerful third act.

Dmitry’s long standing relationship with Replug has spawned several of progressive music’s finest moments over the last half decade. ‘Cascade’ once again follows suit and looks set to be one of the winter seasons most in demand releases.

[Liner Notes]
Vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Bora Uzer teamed up with Mynox and Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Vander to create "Let It Breathe". Birthed on a never-ending day of February in Turkey's dynamic city of Istanbul, this piece fuses elements of electronica, deep house, and modern pop. The lush vocals of Bora convey a certain epicurism and invite us to let go and accept life.

This EP is complemented by the alternative versions of psychedelic duo Pandhora, British talent Shunus, and Volt Milano residents Sound Shapes. Pandhora crafted a progressive & melodic reshape incorporating jazzy chords and upbeat grooves. Shunus came up with a different story, slowing things down with his downtempo sound signature and a relish of western vibes. To wrap up this release, the Italian duo Sound Shapes infused their remix with deep sounds and decided to go for a tense atmosphere which suits afterhours dancefloors perfectly.
