Proton Pack #273

Returning to Proton Music with another brand-new track, Pole Folder voyages across the "Serengeti". Remixes come from UK and Egyptian artists.

An iconic figure, Pole Folder has been at the vanguard of underground dance music for two decades after a 24-carat 2001 debut for Bedrock Records followed by 2005's "Zero Gold" album. With 300 production credits to his name and his successful Reworck imprint, the Belgian was an early fixture on the Proton Music roster with his "Protected" and "Radio 101" EPs between 2006 and 2008. A decade-long hiatus then saw "A Glimpse into the Past" released in 2018 with remixes from Retza and Funkform. Now returning, "Serengeti" is a wonderfully atmospheric offering, with its thunderstorm opening and brooding pads. Building smoothly, offbeat hats provide metronomic precision as a glissando lead meanders gracefully across the top. Effected vocal cuts add further depth alongside a grooved bassline and heavy beat as Pole Folder's inspiring production work hits the heights in the third movement to mesmerising effect.

Striving to achieve "the perfect unity" of "diversified beat, sounds, rhythms and melodies into one Fulltone", the Egyptian has more than met his stated aim with a century of production credits for the likes of Kindisch, KATERMUKKE and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas, A welcome Proton Music debutant after a remix of Lanvary's "Akyoomen" for Particles in November 2017, the Fulltone reworking of "Serengeti" is a beautifully immaculate affair that delights with its tribal percussive hits and rolling groove. Subtle atmospheric touches can be heard throughout as water trickles and wind effects sweep across the sonic landscape. Smooth keys shimmer like water droplets as Fulltone's additional production material takes the original in a new and vibrant direction, while Pole Folder's sounds resonate throughout to anchor the remix within the Belgian's overarching narrative. The result is a gloriously creative and mature new interpretation.

Successful artists with long and impressive careers in dance music, Trilucid & Phil Martyn have seen their collaborative efforts feature on the likes of Perfecto, Black Hole and Markus Schulz's Coldharbour Recordings. Regulars on Particles since 2018 with their "Gone" EP and remix of Andre Sobota's "Unmute", Trilucid & Phil Martyn have seen success on the flagship imprint with the remix of Stas Dive's "Abyssal". A Trilucid solo offering saw "Glint" released in early 2019 with remixes from Subandrio and Cream & Deep Fog, while Phil Martyn returns to aid production on the forthcoming "Astral" EP. Reworking "Serengeti", the Trilucid & Phil Martyn remix is immediately characterised by a thumping beat and hot, simmering dancefloor nature. Making clever use of Pole Folder's original components, vocal effects create a hypnotic texture, while the smooth flowing lines of the original are immaculately juxtaposed against heavier rhythmic aspects. The result is a dynamic and striking new interpretation.

Lighting up the "Serengeti" with sublime new music, Pole Folder is joined by remixes from and Fulltone Trilucid & Phil Martyn on a safari of sonic discovery.

Open Records is proud to present, Ambra our first release of 2020 from Italian innovators Nocturnalism featuring Giulio Scocchia, with two stellar remixes from French master Vøsne.

With its sultry vocals, washed out live horns by Giulio Scocchia, smoky atmospheres and spacious but involving groove, the Original Mix of Ambra is a perfect example of Nocturnalism’s moody, seductive sound.

Vøsne’s Interpolation turns it up a notch and injects some serious grunt into the bottom end, reinventing Ambra into a swirling melodic techno masterpiece.

PREMIERE : Nocturnalism - Ambra (Vosne Interpolation) [Open Records]

Part of the "Fall Particles 2019", Julian Nates now returns with "Luminism", reprising the original track and adding the delightful, "Renaissance". Remixes come from UK and UAE stars.

From Cordoba, Julian Nates has forged a name for himself from his home in central Argentina. An accomplished pianist and violinist in early years, he reached a professional standard in drums after studying at the acclaimed music conservatory in his hometown. A switch to electronic music quickly saw success with over a century of production credits and releases on Balkan Connection, Soundteller and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden. Adding to the light melodic overtones of "Luminism", partner tack, "Renaissance" is full of the impressive musical sensibilities of the title track as off-beat shakers and intelligent clave percussion pave the way for a syncopated arpeggio to trip delicately across the mid-range. Building with ease, further arpeggiated sequences entwine and evolve as richly textured pads pulsate gently in waves before coming to the fore in a stripped-back breakdown. Hitting its stride, all elements combine once more in a sparkling second half to impressive effect.

A growing force since early production work for Clinique Recordings in late 2016 and early 2017, Imran Khan's career has continued to gather pace at an impressive rate. Through an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and developing his production technique, the UK artist's portfolio has continued to find him a sea of admirers with over 100 credits for the likes of MNL, Astrowave and Superordinate Music. The "Organik" and "Sunsweat" EPs were notable 2019 highlights for Proton Music, while "Arrival" was a Particles highlight in August 2018 including remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat and Hot TuneiK. Reworking the title track, the trademark percussive phrase of "Luminism" opens proceedings alongside an intricate groove carved by Imran Khan. New motifs shine through as Khan's production talent is in full evidence with a plethora of new production material that takes the essence of the original and takes it on a new sonic voyage of discovery. Over its 10-minute duration, layers of sound melt into the complex rhythmic structure to create another high-class sonic interpretation.

A renowned DJ across the Middle East, Ejaz Ahamed has found success with his support slots for Digweed, Cattaneo, Zabiela and a host of others. In tandem a production career has continued to showcase the Dubai resident's skill with a clutch of growing releases for the likes of Stellar Fountain, PHW Elements and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital. A pair of remixes for Jero Nougues and Sam Heyman saw an opening salvo for Particles in mid-2017 and 2018 and it is a pleasure to welcome the Indian born artist back for a third outing. Taking on "Renaissance", the Ejaz Ahamed remix revels in cascading bassline prowess that pays tribute to Nates' original with its intelligent use of central arpeggio that is transformed and developed in innovative new fashion alongside a chorus of new production work. Cast within a strong and dynamic new rhythmic framework, the resultant interpretation is an impressive affair.

New music from Julian Nates plus remixes from Imran Khan and Ejaz Ahamed paints "Luminism" with a bright new sonic palette.

Souvenirs

Premiere: Alberto Jossue & Valerie Tavares (CA) - Souvenirs (Mustafa Ismaeel Remix) [Arcane Circle]

'From ancient Gelderland and its city of new church, Alex O’Rion rises “Around Us”. A glittering edifice with crisp percussive foundations and bassline shines with melodic intensity. Sonically shifting, motifs echo into the distance with grace and poise, pervading the senses they fill the aural space with ease.

The age of “Envy” is brought into sharp focus with metronomic rhythmic force. Hypnotic and alluring, shakers fill the air with timing and precision while rippling keys add lightness of touch soaked in reverberated reflections and exquisite melancholy. An antidote to base emotion found in pure musical formulation.

“Ukko” reigns from above, the god of the sky unleashes thunderous musical expression. Cavernous bassline patterns rumble across the lower frequencies while resonant effects shatter the sonic landscape with pulsating white-noise swells. Sunlit sonic motifs emerge from the gloom in resplendent fashion to ease the oppression from the skies.'

Noraj Cue returns home to Happy Camper Records to introduce his latest musical adventure ‘Inner Glitch’, a fantastic full length album series. It comes as an emblematic sampler on vinyl followed by a trilogy of digital releases.

This Dutch artist likes organic sounds filled with real world dust and compelling grooves. He explores every corner of the house realm and always makes musical stories that keep you locked. Constantly tinkering with drum and synth, Noraj Cue has applied his unique talent for experimentation to one studio and one album. And in a career that spans 15 years, his creative touch has impacted the EP's of Tale and Tone, Katermukke and Connaisseur Recordings.

Noraj Cue offers up a musical thesis with Inner Glitch. He explores what he posits is the three aspects that comprise the being of human beings. He suggests that in life we are either presenting our outer self (polished, camouflaged, rehearsed), our inner self (vulnerable, protective, emotional) or our core self (connected to life itself and fundamental to the fulfilment of our self-expression). His music explores the amorphous space of each self and the indistinct places they meet. "Your feelings and perceptions, is that you? Or are these them?” The exploration of which has taken this courageous artist on a musical epic. And now, simply by closing your eyes after hitting play, so can you.

Things kick off with the lush deep house synth-scapes of 'This Won't Last' and take in wonky melodic grooves like 'Bloody Musicbox,' chunky tribal drums on 'Red Throated Diver' and dubby minimal like 'Stoffig.'

Following remixes & EP's on Tale & Tone, UnderYourSkin, Klassified and Supernature in 2019, this majestic new album touches on a wide span of moods and flavours, and shows off this Dutch artist's unique sonic vision and fine synth skills in real style.

The 1st part of Noraj Cue's ‘Inner Glitch’ Trilogy drops on Happy Camper Records on March 27th along with a limited edition of Vinyl that you can order on our page at Bandcamp!
