Returning after a 2019 debut, Proton Music welcomes back Clawz SG and his spectacular twin-track "Urania" EP including a pair of remixes from iconic German names. A renowned artist with over a century of production credits for the blue chip Steyoyoke imprint, Clawz SG has enjoyed considerable success in the melodic techno genre. Using a studio chock full of analogue synthesisers, the Lille based artist showcased his talents for Proton on his "Domuyo" EP in May 2019 including remixes from Jonas Saalbach and Color Ray. The title track is immediately characterised by pounding techno kick, metronomic percussion and syncopated bassline that oozes emotion as it progresses. A twinkling synth motif sits in the background as a gloriously emotive analogue synth develops across the seven-minute piece. A stripped back breakdown adds intrigue as the second half erupts with a full rendition of the melodic phrase hinted at in the early stages. "Klothis" continues the strong rhythmic framework of its predecessor as whip-cracking clap and snare form the bedrock for a dramatic analogue bassline to power its way forward with glissando style. A chorus of synths wax and wane in mesmerising fashion as kick and percussion drop away to reveal a symphony of emotion and shimmering delays. Hitting its stride once more in the third movement with bass and drums, "Klothis" is a techno tour de force.

An artist requiring no introduction to the underground literati, Robert Babicz has been a name synonymous with high quality techno for over 20 years. A true connoisseur of the underground dance scene, the German artist's music has witnessed over 500 production credits for a 'Who's Who' of leading dance music imprints. Thus, work for Bedrock, Traum and Kompakt tell their own story of Babicz's impeccable attention to detail. A renowned technician with an immaculate ear for the sonic landscape, the Robert Babicz remix is a pounding and powerful reworking of "Klothis" that adds a unique blend of additional production material alongside Clawz SG's original. Characterised by a smooth analogue layer, euphoric pads meld with a hypnotic sixteenth note pattern that provides energy and emotion aplenty. The result is an outstanding reworking that is a genuine joy to behold.

A name synonymous with "stylish underground house and techno", Carsten Halm has carved out a considerable name for himself since a March 2016 debut for Scheef Records. Going on to produce a swathe of original music Halm has seen his work signed to a host of impressive labels that include Monkey League, Traum and Parquet Recordings. The "Dreams" EP for Sonic Union's Lowbit was also a notable highlight in October 2020. Now making his Proton Music debut, the Carsten Halm remix of "Urania" is a commanding techno interpretation that fizzes with analogue energy and drive. Using Clawz SG's original components to joyous effect, pitched and effected elements of the original rise and fall in dizzying fashion as they stutter and pitch to a rousing crescendo at the breakdown. Dropping back into a familiar rhythmic groove in the second half, the searing melodic elements once again build to a frenzied finish.

“‘We Are Not Alone’ describes the feeling when you realise that no matter how much you miss or yearn for something or someone in your life, you’re not alone with it. Especially during this challenging time, when we’ve been isolated from the world and often tend to forget.”

A longstanding artist within the dance music fraternity, Igal Magitman has continued to find himself at the leading edge of the underground house movement. Over 200 production credits adorn the Israeli's production portfolio including an array of releases for Proton Music that began in 2008. Remixes for Andre Sobota, Rick Pier O'Neil and Andrea Cassino have followed and Magitman now makes his solo EP debut with the twin-track "To the Mood and Back".

The title track is a beautifully arranged piece that revels in loquacious vocal cut and head-shaking bass groove. Evolving intelligently, a muted organ riff comes to the fore as a distorted vocal reprise appears in intermittent patterns. The full vocal makes its presence felt at the breakdown before "To the Mood and Back" picks up the pace once again in the second half. "Knock About" continues the smooth melodic narrative of its predecessor as a rolling percussive groove supplies dancefloor character. Free-flowing organ phrases and chopped up phrases create a perfectly syncopated melodic collage which comes to the fore at the breakdown before the funk-fuelled combination of rhythm and melody emerges once more in the third movement.

An artist with accolades, awards and unparalleled talent, Jamie Stevens has been at the forefront of the electronic music scene for two decades as founding member of Infusion and in solo guise. A regular on such esteemed imprints as Lost & Found, Bedrock and Selador, the Australian has caused a stir on Proton Music with his remixes of Rudy's "All Things Fade", in 2019, and Petar Dundov's "Nature of Nature" in late 2020. Creating a typically innovative offering, the Jamie Stevens remix revels in a powerful rhythmic foundation that rolls dynamically forward with echoes of the percussive flavour found in "Knock About". Building throughout, layers of sound create a constantly evolving dancefloor groove that makes elegant use of the chords prevalent in the original, while glorious spot effects and ambient sounds pan the stereo spectrum giving depth and space. The result is another creative masterpiece from the Jamie Stevens studio.

Owner of the rapidly growing Flug Lab imprint, Lisandro is a relatively new name to the underground dance scene. Music signed to such revered imprints as Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, a Proton Music debut saw an impressive reworking of Erdi Irmak's "Echoes in Time" in May 2020. Now returning, Lisandro has created a club-friendly vibe and rolling groove as he uses the central melodic themes from "To The Mood and Back" to dynamic effect. The vocal phrasing so prominent in the original makes a more considered play as it sits further back in the mix, revealed fully at the breakdown. Building into the second half, beats and melody combine sumptuously in the third movement to create a joyous reworking of Magitman's track.

Accompanied by Jamie Stevens and Lisandro, Magitman has created a convivial atmosphere "To the Mood and Back".

Maksim Dark has established himself as a prolific powerhouse on the scene over the past decade - his instantly recognisable style being picked up and celebrated by some of the top names in
the game. The Russian producer burst into people’s consciousness in 2011, winning the ear of techno royalty like Richie Hawtin and Dubfire. Having released five albums (Alkapones in 2011,
Mechanica in 2012, With Bated Breath in 2013, My Time Is Fire in 2014, Unbroken in 2015) - plus countless singles and remix projects - he’s back with what is perhaps his most accomplished work to date.
Insomnia contains 13 tracks of the talented Russian’s signature sound - tough, shadowy techno that grooves hard and is shot through with attitude and style. 

From opener ‘Dominator’ through to Dark’s personal favourte ‘Globalize’ and other highlights such as the LP’s lead single ‘Loud
Rave’ and brooding closing track ‘Noah’, this long-player could be one of Dark’s epic sets behind the decks. There’s linearity to the journey and each track seems to complement the other. Drums hit hard, pitched down vocals add the edge, and his beautifully-designed laser-sharp synths cut through everything creating the ultimate soundtrack to the nights we want never to end.

Monkey Safari deliver the third release on Thick As Thieves’ newly-minted imprint as they drop their ‘Fix Your
Life’ EP to close June.
Featuring as one of melodic house and techno’s favourite duos, German pairing Monkey Safari continue to
showcase their studio prowess as they explore the corners and nuances of the genre via releases on
the Anjunadeep, Bedrock, Get Physical, and their own Hommage imprint. And while the DJs, producers, and label
bosses continue to impress with a wealth of original material, their next project welcomes a fresh track under their DJ
Island ‘collaborative guise’, having unveiled the alias on home turf for the disco-fuelled single, ‘Sometimes’. Hot on
its heels, June welcomes a debut appearance on Thick As Thieves’ newly launched label, having toured with the
Melbourne mainstays years, as they follow material from Super Flu, The Journey, and Not Just Me to deliver their
‘Fix Your Life’ EP.
A sun-soaked anthem guided by resonant piano melodies, infectious soulful vocals, and slinking hats, ‘Fix Your Life’
welcomes a bright, feel-good slice of house music. To contrast, the warping ‘Pills’ dives down a late night, funkinfused wormhole as acid leads meet skittering drums and bumping bass licks to round out proceedings in style.

Over the past decade, Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based DJ and techno producer Raxon, known to friends and family as Ahmed Raxon, has popped out a steady stream of twelve-inch singles, precision-tooled, for labels like Cocoon, Drumcode, Diynamic, Truesoul, and Ellum Audio. An alumni of Kompakt’s Speicher series – check the insistent, vibrating pulses of “The Ancient” and “Dark Light” on 2019’s Speicher 107 – with Sound Of Mind, Raxon has produced a long-awaited debut album that’s ready and aching both for the dancefloor and the boudoir, traversing the heat of the club and the warmth of the home.

“The idea of an album has always floated around in my head for the past few years,” Raxon confirms, “but it was never the right moment in my mind.” Instead, he’s been insistently pursuing his vision of deep, elegant techno, taking him from early DJ gigs in Dubai, including the legendary audio tonic night, then relocating to Europe on the recommendation of Herman Cattaneo, all the while allowing his experiences to inform and transmute his producer’s thumbprint. He’s an architect by training (though he gave architecture up for electronic music), which might explain why Raxon productions are so sturdy and well-designed; but remember also that architecture is a field filled with brave experimentation, something Raxon definitely draws on throughout Sound Of Mind.

Like many albums from the past twelve months, Raxon’s debut developed partly thanks to the unique social situation the planet has found itself caught within. “In the beginning of 2020 I started working on a few tracks with the album in mind,” he recalls, “with no idea of what’s to come in the next few months. As catastrophic as the situation was/is, I found myself in the studio; in a way the lockdown gave me that creative freedom in the studio, [to] try to tell my story through sound.” And indeed, there is something in the way of ‘life writing’ about Sound Of Mind, particularly in the way Raxon’s productions pay subtle homage, perhaps, to his formative listening experiences in the late nineties.

It’s no retro trip, but there’s plenty of variety here, and a few moments that’ll tickle the collective memory – see the prowling pulsations of the opening “Majestic”, the alien breakbeat action of “Vice” and “Journey Mode”, where the interstellar tones feel like Foul Play or Steve Gurley, the leaking gas and woozy keys that make “Droid Solo” so subtly destabilising, or the strobelight drones that sputter and flare throughout “El Multiverse”, where dappled organ tones fight it out with interdimensional transmissions, all sucked into the vortex of a late-night techno mantra. Beautifully sculpted, Sound Of Mind feels consummate, an elegant set that pulls Raxon’s vision into its sharpest focus. Alive with possibilities, it’s a fever dream of creativity.

what drumpoet says:

After a brilliant EP on Innervisions, Frankey & Sandrino deliver here their debut for DPC. "Starchild" takes the listener into the deepest shades of house, driving, modern, and beautiful at the same time. "Lost," on the flipside, is an epic tune, featuring the brilliant vocals of UK-based singer Jinadu. "Starchild" is already being played by Âme and other DJs, and there are some exciting remixes in the pipeline.
