Proton Pack #262

Striking out with his own EP series, Hot TuneiK joins illustrious company. Using his "Heightened Senses" as a vehicle for a raft of brand-new original material, plus high-calibre remixes as the series progresses, Vol. 1 presents a quintet of sparkling new tracks.

An artist of innumerable talents, Diego Carreón has found himself at the centre of Mexico's underground dance scene for a number of years. A regular across the clubs of his homeland playing alongside the likes of Guy J, Nick Warren and Henry Saiz, his legendary HOOKAH events have brought the best international DJ talent to central American shores, whilst his record label of the same name has continued to represent renowned producers and nubreed talent in equal measures. A successful production career has run in tandem with well over 300 production credits sitting proudly next to the Hot TuneiK name for a host of high-profile imprints including Balkan Connection, 3rd Avenue and Soundteller Records.

A regular on Particles with his "Erase & Rewind" and "Tulum" EPs, the "Revival" and "Circles of You" EPs for Proton Music in 2018 and 2019, saw Hot TuneiK make an instant impact on the flagship imprint. Now returning to the label after a September 2019 remix of Rudy's "Real You", Hot TuneiK follows in the footsteps of Erdi Irmak and Rick Pier O'Neil by
revealing his "Heightened Senses, Vol. 1"

Opener, "Equilibrium" is chock full of complex and intricately programmed percussive elements that ripple across proceedings alongside hypnotically repeated motifs shimmering in delay treated effects. Simultaneously, a meandering pad with subtle vocal character adds texture and depth to a track soaked in middle eastern flavour. Featuring the vocal talents of Amega, "Awake" is a dark progressive gem that revels in rolling grooved bassline and laidback percussive groove. Sung with coruscating beauty the track's title filters into listener consciousness with languid ease as layered vocal lines add depth and intrigue. "Healing" has a more ethnic oriented flavour with its complex top line and ethereal vocal phrases that reveal themselves in repeated phrases and gated patterns. Subtle melodic variations make their presence felt throughout in a track that demonstrates the range of Hot Tuneik's considerable talent.

"Consciousness" continues with a rich bassline groove and shaker-fuelled percussion that provides the perfect bed for strong organic instrumentation from the multi-talented, Osiris Heyerdahl. Thus, a meandering flute line brings elegance and intrigue across a ten-minute track that delights with its innovation and whispered vocal phrases. Final track, "Life" completes the EP with stratified layers of vocal elegance and poise from Sarah Chilanti alongside a raft of motifs and syncopated melodic elements. A hypnotic groove and heavy beat hold the track together with locked tight sonic glue hitting the post-breakdown third movement with depth and purpose as effected vocal phrases continue to drive things forward.

Five new tracks find Hot TuneiK developing a masterful set of "Heightened Senses".

KAMILO SANCLEMENTE Dione

001 dione
002 dione anden remix
003 dione dnyo remix
004 dione ewan rill remix

Rising in the Colombian night sky through the rings of Saturn, Kamilo Sanclemente's "Dione" finds the perfect bridge from South America to Europe. Rich melodies dazzle through antiquity in searing arpeggios and pulsating pads while driving rhythms chart a path of aural adventure.

Brothers in arms across the solar system, Dione witnesses a trajectory of vertical ascent. Anden appear above North American skies with heavy rhythmic power and bassline propulsion, while distant echoes from South America pervade. Brazilian magic fires in swirling tonality from the mind of DNYO – cutting edge production at the electronic vanguard. Nectar from the gods flows through Dione, born again through rasping bass progression and melodic motifs that sparkle like jewels under a canopy of darkness.

Russian expertise twists and turns off the Baltic Sea. An airstream of creativity produces a true master craftsman as Ewan Rill provides a new moment of history. A dense bassline groove is revealed in Dione while lighter refrains are a wondrous new discovery.
