Proton Pack #367

As 2022 opens its doors, Izzet returns to Particles "With Hope". First making his debut over a decade ago on NewBorn Records, further work in the intervening years has seen the Russian artist feature on the likes of Liquid Grooves, Proton Limited and Clinique. A clutch of releases between 2018 and 2021 then saw him feature on Particles with the "Summer Goodbye" and "Abstraction Distraction" EPs, plus remixes for Pole Folder, Savvas and Rafa'EL.

"With Hope" is a powerful glistening progressive house offering with rich piano sequences and emotive bassline sustaining their presence throughout. Waxing and waning in laconic fashion at a stripped back breakdown, new musical elements come to the fore through muted synths and textured pads. A deep kick and rolling groove add to the aural melange in a smooth and beautifully arranged offering. Partner track, "Puncher" offers the same rich melodic framework, as reverse synths make their play against a growing bassline force that sits below in subtly incongruous fashion. Beautiful piano elements are introduced at the mid-point breakdown and into the third movement as a tight percussive groove provides the perfect accompaniment for the surrounding melodic elements.

Bangalore based artist, Weird Sounding Dude, has found himself much in-demand throughout 2021 with a plethora of music signed to a host of blue chip imprints that included Mango Alley, Clubsonica Records, onedotsixtwo and the behemoth that is Anjunadeep. With over 200 production credits to his name, the fast-growing Indian star now debuts on Particles with an immaculate reinterpretation of "With Hope" that captures the essence of Izzet's original. Transforming into a floor-filling gem that shimmers with percussive energy and subtle synth elements from "With Hope" original parts shine through in gated and filtered fashion to create a vibrant new track. A head-shaking rhythm section add weight and gravitas throughout in an impressive remix.

An artist forging a distinctive creative path with his blend of progressive house and melodic techno, Mayro has grown significantly since a 2016 debut for Renensanz. A raft of original material has subsequently found its way onto the likes of Lowbit, Siona Records and Traful, supported by a stellar cast of A-list DJs that include Nick Warren, Eelke Kleijn, Miss Monique and Matan Caspi. Making his Particles debut, Mayro has created a sparkling rework of "Puncher" that carries the central melodic theme of the original while surrounding it in a swathe of new production material. A heavy kick and bassline groove provide gravity while an intricately programmed percussive top-line adds flair and depth. A filtered arpeggio from Izzet's track filters to the fore, providing familiarity as the track progresses into an evolving second half, while the dynamic rhythmic force creates a sultry and seething dancefloor powerhouse.

"With Hope", Izzet provides a bright and powerful start to 2022, perfectly supported by Weird Sounding Dude and Mayro.

Sol Selectas is proud to present  “Sacred - The Yoruba Soul Mixes”, a remix single featuring two interpretations of Ayala (IT)’s song “Sacred Piano”, created by Osunlade, a well respected music producer and DJ for over 30 years.

The Yoruba Soul Mix slowly builds with raw guitar, off kilter organic percussions, beautiful keys, and a deep bass line. The saxophones weave in and out backed by soothing flutes, and then, when the pianos from the Sacred original appear, we have the ultimate musical climax.
The Yoruba Cleanse mix strips back the pads and key crescendos, gradually filtering in the piano licks, and leaving us with 6 and half minutes of pure Afro groove.  

Osunlade is a verified legend in the deep soulful house community, and was one of the pioneers of what is now labeled as “organic house”. His music has been released on countless respected labels, including many classics on his own label - Yoruba Records. His sound and artistic vision continues to inspire Sol Selectas, and we are simply honored to have him featured here with these 2 expertly done remixes. 

Helia Jamali’s cover art “remixes” her own original work, perfectly matching the tribal vibe and quality of this special release.

Ayala (IT) - Sacred Piano (Yoruba Soul Cleanse)

With his star brightly on the rise, Konstantin Kuranakov has carved out a sizeable niche via his Jiminy Hop production pseudonym. Now debuting on Meanwhile, he confirms again as one of the artists to watch in 2022 with the mesmerising “Johlin” EP.

Inspired by a love of underground house with a dash of techno thrown in for good measure, Jiminy Hop is no stranger to playlists of DJ elite. Initially inspired by David August’s Boiler Room mix, the Russian producer now counts heavyweights, Sahar Z, Hernan Cattaneo and Alex O’Rion as supporters of his work.

With almost 300 production credits to his name, Jiminy Hop has released his music on an array of esteemed independent imprints as the likes of Juicebox Music, Kiksuya Records, Art Vibes and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden have all played host to a collection of original and remix production material. Now making himself an instant favourite on GMJ & Matter’s ever-reliable imprint, “Johlin” is a beautifully constructed offering that oozes quality with its cavernous sub-bass groove and shuffling hi-hat percussive line. Progressing with delicately twinkling synth lines, velvety pads swell and ethereal vocals melt into the mid-range. Hitting the heights with a rousing breakdown crescendo, “Johlin” drops into a powerful bassline stormer in the second half to devastating effect as sympathetic piano motifs hit the spot.

Immediately establishing itself with powerful bassline sequence and textured pads, “Solunar” continues the progressive house journey. Through use of counterpoint melodies and shimmering synth motif, the track gently develops over its 8-minute timeframe as white-noise effects and risers build tension at the mid-point. Reverting to the strong bassline theme and metronomic rhythmic pattern in the second half, combined with a cascading synth line, the result is an impressive addition to the EP.

The final track sees “Colatrix” impress with its deep kick and off-beat house rhythm. Gently pulsating through a swathe of side-chained pads, a trademark bassline sequence emerges through the textured melange while arpeggiated synth lines filter into sonic range. Another beautifully sculpted breakdown sequence showcases Jiminy Hop’s skills in abundance as coruscating sounds blend effortlessly against a dynamic percussive backdrop.

A very welcome addition to the Meanwhile family, Jiminy Hop hits the ground running with “Johlin”.
