Proton Pack #298

Operating out of the global fashion capital, Davide Ferrario is a stylish new name within the world of underground dance music. With releases on Manjumasi, My Other Side of the Moon and Kitchen Recordings, the Milan based artist returns to Particles after remixing Rudy in February 2020. Now debuting with his twin-track "End of an Era" EP, the title track is an organic house gem that bristles with vibrant, low-slung groove and gently panned arpeggio backdrop. Before long, a beautiful and emotive piano section enters the fray, juxtaposed against heavy metronomic beat. Counterpoint melodies entwine effortlessly adding to the emotion and aural texture in an impressive opening. "Tempo" provides a slightly more powerful melodic techno vibe as driving beat and gated chords sit against each other in perfect unison. A shimmering arpeggio and glass lead motif add further intrigue as a free-flowing phrase swims from left to right with ease. The result is a track that showcases Ferrario's skill as a composer, producer and musician.

With over a century of production credits stretching back over an eight-year period, the combined talents of Sergey Kulikov an Vitaly Bragin have found Doyeq a force to be reckoned with. Regular DJ performances across Moscow have contributed to this reputation as has music signed to Manjumasi, Kindisch and trueColors, the latter through the "Break into My Walls" EP including a remix from Hraach and Amen Miran. Making their Particles debut, the Doyeq remix of "End of an Era" is an impressive offering that makes intelligent use of the melodies central to Ferrario's track while intelligently introducing a new clicking and fizzing rhythmic framework. A searing, glissando lead makes its presence felt post-breakdown to devastating effect in a remix that is a welcome and powerful addition to the Particles catalogue.

Estonian artist, Oleg Ivanov, "has an ear for the cinematic" through his about : river pseudonym. Concentrating on building a narrative through his music with stratified layers of sound and a wide and varied sonic palette, his music for Easy Summer, Astrolabe Recordings and Nie Wieder Schlafen has been a powerful indicator of his talent, not least through his six-track EP for the latter in June 2020. Making his Particles debut, the about : river remix of "End of an Era" revels in reversed playback of the original's powerful melodic sequences, while adding a sumptuous array of further production material. A new motif pierces its way through the mid-upper frequency range, complemented by an organic rhythmic framework that rattles along in stereo-panned groove and subtle ambient effects. The resulting reworking of Davide Ferrario is an impressive debut.

Two new original tracks plus remixes from Doyeq and about : river find Davide Ferrario at the start of something special with his "End of an Era".

The pair of Domingo and Mariner needn't be introduced to anyone in more detail: in the last 2 months, the American guys have built up an extremely strong discography with their collaboration. And we're not just talking about quantity, but also outstanding quality, each of their tracks is the perfect choice for lovers of slower, more melodic, more organic house music.
Therefore, we are honored to present their two pieces of music to the audience in their release 'Here I Am' . For the title track, two emerging producers (also representing quality music), wrote remixes - Daniel Van Der Zwaag from the Netherlands and Gadi Mitrani from Turkey.

Release date: October 16, 2020 @ Beatport

The latest release from Clubsonica Records finds the label showcasing the 2020 edition of its ADE Sampler. The Amsterdam Dance Event has become one of electronic music's most important annual gatherings. One where a wide variety of artists, DJ's, event promoters and industry brands are showcased over the week-long event. In the wake of CoronaVirus, the 2020 incarnation will be a unique experience, with the event happening virtually, in an online or digital only format. The much anticipated gathering continues to be a testing ground for the fall season's biggest releases. Compiled by label boss Juan Pablo Torrez, Clubsonica Records presents the much anticipated 2020 edition of their ADE Sampler, with new music from (in order of appearance) Brian Muszkat, Mariano Favre, Mental Order and Tim Othy, Stae and Wabe.

Hailing from Argentina and leading the collection off is Brian Muszkat. The Buenos Aires resident has been rising out of his country's progressive music scene with support from Hernan Cattaneo. Now embarking on the most anticipated release of his career, Brian presents his latest studio creation 'Balder'. Beginning with warm beats and a well sculpted groove, its energetic prowess grows quickly. Waves of percussion and squelchy synth lines add a flair for the dramatic, as cosmic effects and hypnotic arps highlight the first act. The second of two breaks brings tension up through mind bending sonics, as modulation peaks and the groove drops for a commanding finish.

Providing the second selection is Mariano Favre. Releases on Balkan Connection, Dopamine White and Perspectives Digital highlight his discography as he makes his Clubsonica debut with 'Overthinking'. Tough beats, mountainous bass tones and rolling percussion set the piece in motion, as striking stabs and trailing effects encase the framework. Tense arps further the narrative, perfectly foreshadowing a spoken word vocal which captivates across the first of two breaks. Momentum builds as the second interlude approaches, beautifully offset by icy vocal pads, before a trippy arp builds to a sonic sizzle, perfectly segueing into a charged finale.

The collection's halfway point is marked by Mental Order and Tim Othy. Now making their much anticipated Clubsonica debut, they deliver one of their biggest productions to date 'Cantina'. Powerful, pulsating and full of intricate detail, the first act builds with a dynamic flair. Developing in waves, percussive flurries and electric lines fill in the framework, before an expansive break shifts the narrative into emotive territory. Impassioned chord changes and charming effects steal the air across the two-minute centrepiece, eventually giving way to a storming final movement.

Next up is Mexico's César Hernández aka Stae with 'Yibuti'. Enticing from the start, it's perfectly sculpted beats are warm and powerful, anchored by a rolling, free flowing foundation. Layers of hypnotic percussion are blanketed with hopeful pads, swirling effects and fragmented melodies. Emotion peaks as the main break unfolds, with a cascading theme and frantic arps eventually getting washed away in a wall of buzzing electronics, as a commanding drop shifts energy into an exhilarating finale.

Rounding out the release on a strong note are the Italian duo WABE. Now bringing their melodic sound to Clubsonica the duo put a bookend on the Sampler with 'Across the Border'. Boisterous and commanding, its momentum grows as punishing beats, astral arps and growling synths set the stage for a motif of soulful strums. Shifting the narrative, the framework then opens up for the theme to breathe and emotional response to rise, before a pensive break puts a cap on this musical gem. Tastefully epic, it concludes a brilliant ADE Sampler from Clubsonica Records, one where a plethora of label debutants provides a series of peak time moments.

Release Info: 
Timeless Moment is proud to release ‘Miles’ from the rising Italian duo ‘Shamans’.

Presenting the title track, ‘Miles” is a beautiful melodic craft with an emotional harmony accompanied by well thought groove and amazing sound design. An introspective smooth female vocal puts the cherry on top of this gem.

On the Remix duties we have Malandra Jr. The Italian has releases on labels such as Diynamic and Stil Vor Talent and makes his Timeless Moment debut with a very strong progressive version of miles, just perfect for that peak time dance floor vibes.

Another remixes come from the debuts of the Barcelona based artists Sarcasmo and Main Leaf. Sarcasmo Remix is another peak time option with techno elements, while Main Leaf brings a darker borderline Electronica version to wrap up this amazing release. Enjoy!
