Proton Pack #513

Driven to produce a thoroughly modern and highly individual style of underground dance music, Amháin has consistently found himself at the bleeding edge of innovative progressive house. Using his innate skills to transport listeners into new and distant worlds both from behind the decks at the likes of Burning Man in the US and Rainbow Serpent and Lightning in a Bottle his Australian home, Amháin never fails to impress in the studio with a clutch of statement releases. The Purr, Sound Avenue, Mango Alley and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile have all played host to his talents while April 2023's "Evaporate" EP was a standout release on Particles.

A pair of remixes for Michael A in January 2022 and Erdi Irmak a year later, showcased Amháin's production talent on Proton Music as the New South Wales-based star now releases his debut original EP for the label. Taking two distinct forms, "Starseed" is a blissful, beautifully imagined track that drives easily forward in its "Night Mix" with effortless percussive verve, driving beat and bassline groove. Subtle melodic flourishes float across the mid-range with textured pads and white-noise effect before a glorious breakdown showcases the bass and melodic combination with spine-tingling majesty. The rich bassline force and ingenious rhythmic cadence mark a significant shift in direction during the "Sunrise Mix". Familiar melodies drift easily throughout the 7-minute piece, but the broken-beat vibe and body-shaking groove take "Starseed" in a smooth and effortless new direction, perfect for warm southern hemisphere early mornings.

On remix duties, Sri Lankan star, Subandrio, takes centre stage. A firm favourite among the Proton faithful, the Colombo-based DJ and producer is recognised by his ability to "paint a masterpiece every night with energy and synergy", resulting in him being crowned "Pioneer Middle East DJ of the Year". A stellar cast of remixes represents the Subandrio journey thus far with interpretations of the likes of Matter, Trilucid and Juan Deminicis dating back to a 2016 debut of Pete K. Returning for an eighth time, the Subandrio remix of "Starseed" is a gloriously deep and sophisticated offering that revels in a suite of trademark production characteristics centred around a smooth rolling groove and syncopated bassline. Evolving in silky fashion, familiar melodies reveal themselves with subtly filtered reverence, while a cast of new production material can be heard via the intricate percussive foundation and elegantly crafted melodies at the breakdown. The result is another masterful reworking that showcases Subandrio's skill and technique.

Growing to new heights, Amháin reaches out into the cosmos with "Starseed", ably abetted by Subandrio and his explosive remix.

As 2024 winds to a close, Madloch's Sound Avenue caps off the year by presenting new interpretations of Pedro Sanmartin's ‘Immersive Experience' EP. Released in the fourth quarter of 2023, the four-track showcase was a snapshot of Pedro's expansive sonic repertoire. The Barcelona born, Norway resident cleverly coaxed the more immersive forms of electronic music in deep house and electronica, with the club-effective qualities of progressive house and techno. Perhaps the most apt example of Pedro's far-reaching sound, it was a project which propelled the Spanish artist to a successful 2024, one highlighted by projects via Blankhaus Music, Dialtone, Nordic Voyage and Seven Villas, the latter of which has become his primary home. Madloch's burgeoning Sound Avenue imprint has a long history of revitalizing past projects with uniquely tailored remix editions, releases which have now become synonymous with the imprint. Continuing that narrative as 2024 winds to a close, the label calls upon Freedo Mosho & Futura City, Agustin Pengov and Haen & Finding Mero to re-imagine Pedro's ‘Immersive Experience' in their own unique essence.
