Proton Pack #269

Returning to Particles, Rayomand presents his debut "Feelings" EP. Remixes come from Argentinean and Croatian artists.

Welcoming up and coming artists to the Particles roster is always an honour and with Rayomand, the Indian artist has created quite a name for himself in 2019. January's "Untold Stories" for Submarine Vibes and June's "Perspectives" for Gentleman Lounge Records began the story, while a remix of Chihaka's "The Awakening" for Particles in October is now followed a by a debut EP in the shape of "Feelings". With both tracks mixed by Khordad Edulji, "Emotions" flows with a rich mix of melodic phases and sequences in a concise 5-minute offering. A heavy beat provides the backbone for coruscating organic instrumentation to play a major role as a pulsating bassline adds cavernous depth. Deep house flavours permeate through "Destiny" as atmospheric effects make their presence felt. Ethnic instrumentation is again at the heart of the track as a sustained bassline adds weight and emotion. A ticking percussive line adds subtle urgency as Rayomand's work evolves with delayed riff and side-chained pads adding character over the 6-minute timeframe.

Francis Di Rosa and Juan Cruz Dangelo have been regular contributors to the underground dance scene with their Soulkeys production moniker. From their Buenos Aries home, the duo has found themselves signed to a host of high-profile imprints that include the likes of Aethereal, Beat Boutique and Nicholas Van Orton's Balkan Connection South America. A single remix of Sam Heyman's "Altair" represents the Soulkeys contribution to the Particles roster as they now follow up with a distinctive Melodic Techno reworking of "Emotion" that builds on the rich instrumentation of Rayomand's original by adding a swathe of new production material. A new grooved bassline and ticking percussive groove provide the backdrop while textured pads and delayed riff build up the sonic space with open-filtered intensity. Rising and falling with ease, the result is a dark and brooding affair from the Argentinean pair.

Verche is no stranger to success through a double century of production credits to his name. With a back-catalogue that reads like a 'Who's Who' of leading underground imprints, the Croatian's work for Renaissance, Hope and JOOF have seen him firmly sat at the industry's top table. Moreover, "Rapid Eye Movement" saw him debut on John Digweed's Bedrock as part of his "Last Night At Output" compilation in May 2019. Now returning after a 7-year hiatus since remixing Exoplanet's "The Planetarium" in early 2013, the Verche remix of "Destiny" is full of rhythmic dynamism as a rolling beat and shuffling hi-hats create the perfect vehicle for Rayomand's melodies to flow mellifluously across the 8-minute piece. Relentlessly driving forwards, pausing for a stripped-back breakdown, a looped and delayed motif carries forward into the second half with hypnotic power and precision.

As Rayomand expresses his "Feelings", remixes from Soulkeys and Verche continue the emotional story.

Kostya Outta is back on One Of A Kind with new track, this time in a collab with Max Losev, titled as "Fantasy"! Here we have one strong release, where beside beautiful proggy original, we have remixes from renowned artists such as LADS and Allies For Everyone! Half German, half South African project LADS, started releasing music few years ago, and with their versatile, deep and progressive sounds, they attracted the attention of major labels such as Lost & Found, Rebellion Der Traumer, Click Records, etc. Alias For Everyone, however, is on the scene for a while now. He cooperated with the names such as Miyagi, Solee, Just Her, David Hasert, and released music on Lost Diaries, SOSO, EIN2, which is a testament to his quality work and dedication.

Behind the Mirror

Premiere: Miss Monique - Behind the Mirror [Siona Records]

'Vintage & Morelli's "Hymn To The Night" artist album arrived last year and proved to be an extraordinary career milestone for the Serbian phenom, as it spawned various globally supported singles and helped launch his first ever tour of the States. Canadian singer-songwriter Brandon Mignacca contributed enormously to the record, as two of the standout tunes on the record, "Love Is" and "Bloom," feature his honeyed vocals. It is our great privilege to present two new interpretations of these songs by celebrated label veterans Hexlogic and Kobana, both of whom offer deeper-leaning takes on the original compositions.

On the heels of his extraordinary remix of The Midnight's "Collateral," Kobana treats us to another visionary interpretation of a label favorite. His deep, funky, and ultimately exhilarating take on Vintage & Morelli and Brandon Mignacca's "Love Is" showcases the Polish maestro's uncanny gift for crafting intoxicating grooves and hypnotic, layered melodic soundscapes. The arrangement begins with a minimalistic rhythm and bassline in the opening minutes; at the quarter turn, the groove starts to take off, and a few additional melodic motifs seep into the mix. The song's patient crescendo continues to unfurl, ultimately revealing a rapturous lead chord progression; the listener is left with no doubt that love is the answer.'

Premiere: Hermanez - Jagerfly [Sag & Tre]

"From Flanders fields, a new arrival enters the Mango Alley hall of fame. Steve Slight returns after Amsterdam debut to continue his “Saga” of crystal-clear credentials. Driving rhythmic energy provides a club-friendly atmosphere as a narrative of musical phrases interconnect in complex musical storytelling of arpeggio, chord progression and vocal.

A trilogy of remixes continues the saga as Australian musical engineering gifts a new narrative from the mind of Aves Volare. A plaintiff cry punctures a pulsating sonic landscape of cavernous bass sequence and pure emotion; familiar threads ripple in delayed arpeggiation while a swirling new creation invigorates."
