An exciting new debutant to the Proton Music roster, Dennis Liu showcases his dernis, the kid production moniker with a quartet of original tracks. As a member of the San Diego-based Inquiry Collective, the US DJ is no stranger to the limelight with his performances behind the decks and as part of an annual desert party of epic proportions. Furthermore, as a production assistant to Claude VonStroke and Dirtybird through his azb.studio, dernis, the kid has production credentials few can rival. Featuring the vocal talents of fellow Californian and vocalist, Clara Jo, "Let Me Go" sets the stage with its rhythmic prowess, marrying the vocal with a sub-bass groove and tech house beats. "Maybe" maintains momentum with a steady 4/4 rhythm, adorned by Clara Jo's layered vocals, piano melodies, and a recurring title-infused phrase that crafts a lush sonic landscape. The mood mellows with "Mend" and its laidback arpeggios, organic snare fills, and sumptuous pads, evoking a sense of tranquillity amid subtle melodic variations. "Miss Me" finds vocals weaving seamlessly through atmospheric soundscapes, complemented by a groovy bassline, and punctuated by well-placed sound effects. The resulting effect is to create a truly mesmerising auditory experience. Finally, "Questions" entrances listeners with hypnotic rhythms and glitched vocals that evolve over its near seven-minute duration, building layers of vocal cuts that form their own melody as they pitch up and down, before a dynamic bassline takes centre stage, concluding the journey with a dazzling display of tech house mastery.

A combined total of over 750 production credits for some of the finest underground dance imprints has seen Gai Barone and Luke Brancaccio at the vanguard of electronic music for well over a decade. From JOOF Recordings and Zerothree to Bedrock and Sudbeat Music plus Gai's own Afterglow imprint, the Italian / UK Axis needs little introduction. With collaborative efforts on the likes of Renaissance, Selador and Guy J's Lost & Found, Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio's Proton Music debut is a typically impressive reworking. Containing themes of "Maybe" while retaining the essence of the original's melodic character, the duo's unique production prowess is evidenced courtesy of cadenced stabs and sequenced arpeggio phrase with driving beat and shuffling hi-hat supplying top-line energy and dynamism. Using the breakdown to reveal the vocal phrasing more fully, a bassline pattern full of gravitas drops in the second half before the melodic patterns of earlier phases come to the fore to close out.

Through the "Organik" and "Sunsweat" EPs for Proton Music, Imran Khan's production credentials have never been in doubt. A series of remixes for Petar Dundov, GMJ, Dmitry Molosh and Sebastian Sellares between 2019 and 2023, have added to the UK star's portfolio as he returns with a suitably dynamic reworking of the title track. A hallmark rhythmic vehicle of heavy kick and deep groove supply the foundation for a muted arpeggio to supply hypnotic melodic variation, while vocal flourishes from Clara Jo pepper the 7-minute track. Luscious pads, sweeping effects and growling bass notes add to the aural collage with meticulous attention to detail to create yet another powerful reminder of Imran Khan's abundance of talent and technique.

A debut EP of seismic proportions from dernis, the kid featuring Clara Jo has Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio and Imran Khan helping to "Miss Me".

🎵 واحة السراب (Wāḥat al-Sarāb) – Oasis of Mirage

[Intro – 0:00–0:50]
[soft desert wind, distant drops of water, shimmering synth pad fading in]  
[single ney note repeats like a breath – tranquil, echoing]  

[Verse 1 – Arabic, female vocal – calm and soft]
في قلبِ الرِّمالِ، حَلمٌ من ماء،  
تغفو النَّخيلُ على كتفِ الظِّلال،  
وفي البُعدِ، يبتسمُ السرابُ،  
كأنَّهُ وعدُ السَّماءِ للأرض.  

[Instrumental – 0:50–1:20]
[qanun arpeggios flow like rippling water; low warm bass enters slowly]

[Verse 2 – Arabic, duet – female and male voices]
يا واحةَ النُّورِ، يا نَفَسَ الحياة،  
فيكِ يَنسى العطشُ اسمه،  
ويُصلّي القلبُ في ظلالِكِ،  
كأنَّ الماءَ طهارةُ الرُّوح.  

[Main Groove – 1:25–2:40]
[Deep ambient house rhythm begins — soft kick, sand-brush percussion, airy bass pulses,  
qanun and oud weaving through stereo field]  

[Bridge – 2:45–3:15]
[whispered female mantra repeats:]  
"سرابٌ... ماءٌ... نورٌ..."  
("Mirage... water... light...")  
[reverb echoes create illusion of space — sound of dripping echo blends into rhythm]  

[Verse 3 – Arabic, male voice, intimate tone]
في صمتِكِ يذوبُ الوقت،  
وفي عُيونِكِ يَسكنُ الأبد،  
يا واحةَ السرابِ،  
يا أغنيةَ الرِّيحِ والضّوء.  

[Final Chorus / Chant – 3:20–4:40]
[grouped soft chanting, female lead with airy harmony repeating:]  
"يا واحةَ الحُلمِ... يا نَفَسَ السَّماء..."  
("O oasis of dream… O breath of the sky…")  
[water FX, delicate bells, bass melts into ambient fade]

[Outro – 4:40–5:00]
[wind returns softly; ney and qanun linger; silence settles like dusk.]
