Proton Pack #420

A new artist to grace the Particles roster, Francisco Jose Ricardo makes a stylish debut with his "Tongue & Groove" EP. Mentored by Bedrock resident and global superstar DJ, Nick Muir, the US resident now follows up on a pair of 2021 releases for Record Union with twin original tracks. Remixes come from Simos Tagias and Nick Muir himself.

The title track opener sees "Tongue & Groove" develop easily with metronomic beat and a filtered arpeggio framework. Blossoming with club-friendly prowess, a grooved bassline is perfectly entwined between heavy beat and ticking percussion as a glass motif heralds a new sonic phase. Intelligently placed chords provide an old school house vibe while a swathe of effects and subtle piano phrase combine in the second half to impressive effect. "Jones" continues the retro vibe as a Kraftwerk-esque synth line shines through a cadenced top-line that creates dancefloor energy via a dynamic rolling groove. Stereo-panned arpeggio and textured pads add to a rich sonic collage as the track pauses for breath at the 5-minute point before dropping back into a glorious melody-fuelled finale.

A legendary figure in the underground scene as part of the Bedrock outfit alongside long-time production partner, John Digweed, Nick Muir is the epitome of the global superstar DJ. A career that dates back over 30 years, Nick's solo work as producer and DJ has seen him travel the world, while more than 400 production credits sit proudly next to his name. A trio of remixes for Rick Pier O'Neil, Sebastian Sellares and Eric Lune have seen Nick feature on Proton Music between 2019-21 as he now debuts on Particles with a typically innovative and powerful interpretation of "Tongue & Groove". Replete with a plethora of magical production techniques and backspin DJ effect, Nick Muir's skill is to expertly sculpt a new melodic framework for familiar themes within Francisco's work to shine anew. With eloquent dancefloor know-how, the track builds through its phases to create an immaculate and expertly crafted interpretation.

Simos Tagias requires little in the way of introduction with 30 production credits on Proton Music and Particles. The early part of the Greek artist's career saw such EPs on the latter that included 2014's "Drunk State" and 2017's "Airlock", while remixes for Antrim in 2015 and Gaston Ponte in June 2022 are now followed by another typically impressive remix. Characterised by a powerful bassline groove and rolling top line cadence, the Simos Tagias remix of "Tongue & Groove" provides hypnotic dancefloor energy. A filtered arpeggio enters the fray appearing alongside a swell of additional motifs and familiar pulsating soundscapes at the breakdown, before hitting its straps once more in the latter stages, propelled forwards with hypnotic vibrancy.

Doppel & Gabriel Moraes - Pieces Of Eight [Stone Seed] • OUT NOW

Multifunctional cyber glasses were not going to be a part of the spy arsenal any time soon, unless absolutely necessary. Spacelunch’s invention, which was waiting to be tested, ironically became a message through time to himself. A mess at work, as well as burglary, were commonplace even in emergencies. The piles of archive boxes did not bother Cat, who was skimming the information downloaded from a micro-SD.

"The tables with the estimates of operational characteristics – not it. The ballistic calculations – not it again... Found it!" — the tail rising with joy became an indicator of hope for a successful rescue operation. The formula of the superspeed elixir was looking seductively at him. All that was left to do was to upload the acquired data and analyse it upon returning to the lab. The silent jubilation was interrupted by the ear-splitting wail of the siren signalling that there was no room for mistake.
