Proton Pack #443

Alex O'Rion - Cuba Libre (Original Mix)

A new artist to the Particles roster, Amir Telem's music is not defined by genres, instead placing an emphasis on a "deep sense of connectivity to something higher". This approach has seen his work signed to a host of impressive imprints including UV Noir, Timeless Moment and Everything Will Be OK. His Particles debut opens with the title track as the popping percussive cadence provides the opportunity for a shimmering arpeggio and deep sustained bassline to shine on "Sweet Longing". A beautiful piano sequence adds to the melodic collage in emotive fashion before a brassy synth makes its play. Extending the melodic phrasing post-breakdown, a fizzing vibrant energy characterises the impressive piece.

An artist with a bold and growing reputation, BLANCAh continues to dazzle from her home in Florianópolis. Through her own Hiato Music and a wealth of tracks featuring on Timeless Moment, Sprout and 2020's full-length "Arias of Sky" for Renaissance", the Brazilian has flourished. A single remix for Petar Dundov marked BLANCAh's Proton Music debut as she joins Particles with a suitably powerful offering. Reworking "Sweet Longing", the BLANCAh rework creates a driving dancefloor groove with a syncopated bassline and fizzing top-line. Building in intensity, the melodic themes of the original are innovatively retained while extended outward in glorious new direction creating an elegant new remix.

Mariner + Domingo require little introduction; both excelling at their chosen artform. Renowned DJ's and producers, the pair have a rich history between them. Almost a double century of production credits bear witness to that fact as the US duo have seen their work feature on the likes of Sound Avenue, Balkan Connection and The Purr. Regulars on Particles, March 2021's "Azimuth" was followed by "Lose Control" two months later. Further bookended by remixes for Izzet and Petar Dundov, the pair now return with a typically deep and evocative remix of "Sweet Longing". Making strong use of the melancholic sustained bassline of the original, Mariner + Domingo have created a slightly more stripped back affair that revels in a deep atmosphere and sonic landscape. Making excellent use of Amir Telem's remix parts, an exquisite new chord progression is added to the production arrangement to create a sumptuous dancefloor gem.

Entering the heart of the summer season, Clubsonica Records celebrates their milestone one hundredth release by welcoming Kamilo Sanclemente back to the label for a new EP. With a near decade long history, Juan Pablo Torrez’s Clubsonica Records has risen to the top of the progressive house landscape. Now considered one of the genre’s elite imprints, Clubsonica has been a home for Alex O’Rion, Analog Jungs, Antrim, Dmitry Molosh, D-Nox, GMJ, Jamie Stevens, Mass Digital, Navar, Stereo Underground, Shai T, Weird Sounding Dude and more. Perhaps having the most impact on the label’s meteoric rise however has been beloved Colombian producer Kamilo Sanclemente. Long regarded as one of his country’s premiere progressive house artists, the Cali resident has notched a litany of successes over the last decade. Prolific and consistent in equal measure, Kamilo has earned the praise of electronic tastemakers Guy Mantzur, Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Burridge and Nick Warren, while showcasing his music via All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, The Soundgarden, Replug and more. Affiliated with Clubsonica for some time, Kamilo has operated as one of the label’s A&Rs, while also recording eight originals and six remixes since making his label debut in 2015. Now, for the label’s milestone one hundredth release, it seems only appropriate that Kamilo returns to his comfortable home of Clubsonica to commemorate the occasion with a three-track showcase entitled ‘Stellar Echoes’. 

Selection one finds Kamilo collaborating with Clubsonica label boss and occasional studio partner Juan Pablo Torrez. Together the pair have crafted some of progressive music’s most memorable tracks and now combine their extensive forces once again on ‘Critical Orbit’. Sitting on a modern progressive perch, it’s a marriage of tight manicured beats, swing heavy rhythms, and finely tuned percussion which set the course for otherworldly voices and elastic-like synths to work their magic. Anthemic and energetic in equal measure, the duo lets the listener relish in the groove, as it tastefully cruises across the first movement, before a melodic break elevates mood for an invigorating finale. 

The title selection ‘Stellar Echoes’ finds Kamilo operating in solo captivity as he further cements the EP’s dancefloor minded ethos. Its dynamic drive is anchored by rocketing beats and percussive flashes, tastefully building to a wild-eyed intensity of prismatic melodies and marine-like designs. With a peak-time energy that exudes spirit, Kamilo pulls from his expansive repertoire as the main break takes shape, infusing shimmering synths and warm key-changing basslines with a vortex of drums and effects for the ultimate dancefloor rush.

Continuing to push an emotive narrative, it is ‘Moving Thoughts’ which rounds out the release in fine style. Here, Kamilo’s meticulous design and dreamlike elegance conjure up utopian visions, as operatic voices and wavy melodies layer a bed of pulsating beats and swaying percussion. A spoken word vocal highlights the main break, bringing with it mystery and intrigue, further revealing Kamilo’s creative attitude, before a finale of uplifting sonics breaks into a rich textural rain of melodic colour. A fitting conclusion to an excellent Clubsonica return for Kamilo Sanclemente, one where tasteful execution delivers an oversized emotional response. Highly recommended.

PREMIERE: D.J. MacIntyre, Dimel De Silva - Crimson Shadow (Nomas Remix) [Movement Recordings]

Originally released at the end of 2022, “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space” showcased GMJ & Matter as masters of the progressive house genre. Now, Meanwhile revisits the 3-track EP with a trio of outstanding new remixes.

Henri Hurtig has been at the vanguard of modern underground dance music for close to two decades with his Cid Inc. production alter-ego. Some 600+ production credits for the likes of microCastle, Lost & Found and his own highly respected, Replug, are testament to an enduring appeal as is a packed tour calendar where the Finnish star continues to tour the world. Now making his Meanwhile debut, the Cid Inc. remix of “Elemental” retains a similar rhythmic poise to the original as a familiar bass pattern blends with a squeaking, bleeping effects layer. A trademark storming beat and seething dancefloor character is in full evidence as a distorted and frenetic breakdown leads to a new melodic character in the second half to brilliant effect. The result is a typically impressive reworking full of dynamism and brio.

A rising star in the progressive firmament since early work for EIN2 in 2018, Tantum has hit considerable heights with his music on Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Guy J’s Lost & Found. A Meanwhile debut in mid-2023 saw “Secondary / Suan Pan / Narko” place the German star front and centre with a musical triptych of the highest order, as Tantum now returns with a deep and innovative take on “Time to Space”. Replete with rolling groove and deep bassline presence, a more stripped back offering allows the central motif from the original a chance to flourish within a new cadenced structure, while richly textured pads flow effortlessly across the musical stream. Rising and falling in easy patterns, a new arpeggiated pattern makes itself heard alongside a raft of additional production material and counterpoint melodies as the remix heads towards a rousing finale.

Reworking “EXT 135” themselves, Meanwhile head honchos, GMJ & Matter have given the track a sublime “Ambient Reprise”. Stripping away the powerful rhythmic backdrop of the original, the duo have created a sublime interpretation that captures the central melodic elements of the original, allowing them to blossom unencumbered by dancefloor character. The result is a chorus of deliciously crafted keynotes and melodies that blend together in seamless fashion, held together by a deep sub-bass groove. The result is a smooth and pristine slice of electronica magic.

Shining once more through remixes from Cid Inc. and Tantum, GMJ & Matter have given a new lease of life to “EXT 135 / Elemental / Time to Space”.
