Release info:
"  An artist with a growing reputation within the underground dance fraternity, Sebastian Sellares makes his Meanwhile debut with his "Dunes at Dawn" EP.

After a 2018 debut for PHW Elements, Sebastian Sellares has made increasingly sizeable waves with his smooth and unique musical style. Already seeing his music signed to an array of high-profile imprints including onedotsixtwo, UV and Or Two Strangers, Proton Music's "Zen State / Jinsei" was a further notable highlight in October 2020 including remixes from Matias Chilano and Bedrock's Nick Muir.

The title-track opener is a gloriously atmospheric offering that builds gently over a rhythmic foundation of rolling top-line groove and pounding beat. Filtered pads soon enter the fray followed by atmospheric birdsong effects and rippling arpeggiated synth line that resonate with the "Dunes at Dawn" title. Rising to a spine-tingling zenith at the mid-point alongside deep, captivating bassline, the second half continues the rich melodic collage creating a sumptuous start to the EP.

Continuing the powerful rhythmic basis of the opener, "The Stars Above" scintillates with its chugging rhythmic vibe and syncopated bassline pattern. Evolving through subtle percussive urgency, dreamlike pads float across the mid-range beside steam-powered white noise waves, before intricately programmed synth plucks complete the foundations. Before long, undulating arpeggios glitter in delayed patterns as counterpoint phrasing adds emotion and guile to create a contemplative offering.

"Nocturne" completes the musical triptych, revelling in a subtle melodic hypnotism that blends acid-tinged loop with flowing analogue motifs. Panning the stereo spectrum with plucked phrases, a magnificent combination of counterpoint melodies rise and fall across a nine-minute magnum opus that results in another string to Sellares' increasingly powerful bow. 

Three new tracks from Sebastian Sellares illustrate a sparkling display of sonic brilliance through the "Dunes at Dawn"."

Ezequiel Arias returns to the label with three amazing originals. 

Widely regarded as 'the future of progressive house', Cordoba's primary musical export continues to impress on the world stage with a string of releases on luminary labels including Anjunadeep and Replug. With events now in full swing again, gigs in North and South America prove he's lost none of his creativity and showmanship behind the decks. We look forward to what he'll do next with baited breath. 

Opening with 'Magic Fields' a tough rubbery groove gathers pace with claps, percussion and melodic layers organically flowing into the mix. Shimmering FX and grubby bass notes add style and grit in equal measures. Airy pads around the midpoint give a cinematic feel alongside the keys and off-kilter sonics that sound like bouncing balls before the beat hits and were back on solid ground. 'Far Above The World' continues apace with a tribal groove that quickly mutates with off-beat bass into a driving gem of epic proportions. Finally, 'Arcadia' completes the triptych with another melodic masterclass. Growing slowly over the opening section, icy keys and powerful low end grunt combine for a growling, musically diverse mindset stomper.

Way Out West a.k.a. Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff made a stellar return this summer with their new studio album ‘Tuesday Maybe’. The title track was released as a single in early 2016, remixed by I:Cube and supported by John Digweed, Maceo Plex and Âme, and now Israeli maestro Guy J works his magic on a brand new remix.

Layering the atmospheric original melodies over a driving low-end groove, Guy adds his trademark progressive touch to proceedings whilst ramping up the drama in an epic breakdown.

Prolific Belarusian producer, Michael A, has become a regular on Proton Music with his quartet of original EPs. The fourth of these now sees "Aura Tears" released with a pair of remixes from German and Argentinean talents.

Moritz Rausch is an artist rising to global prominence under his Rauschhaus production alter-ego. As at home behind the decks in front of global club audiences across his native Germany as he is in the studio sculpting dance floor gems, Rauschhaus is a name that carries a certain cachet. A multi-instrumentalist with mastery over the gamut of underground dance genres from deep and electro house to techno and tech house, Rauschhaus has found his music allied to a host of blue-chip imprints since an early debut for Electro Superstar in 2010. A regular on the likes of Stil Vor Talent, Parquet and Steyoyoke, November 2016's "Escape Game" for the latter showcased a musical vignette of the highest order while remixes of Solemn Eye, Soul Button and Terry Grant have been notable additions on the label. Making his Proton Music debut, the Rauschhaus remix of "Ciklus One" is a wonderfully crafted affair that builds through an elegant arpeggio sequence that ripples into life accompanied by sublime counterpoint motifs and chord progressions. Backed by a strong rhythmic framework and ticking percussive cadence, Rauschhaus makes clever use of Michael A's original components reinterpreting and reinvigorating them in a wonderful new direction.

From the foothills of the Sierras Chicas, Cordoba resident, Ezequiel Arias, has been scaling the heights of the underground dance industry with impressive regularity. A notable DJ who had toured across Europe with performances in Budapest, Ankara and Barcelona with a string of performances across his native Argentina alongside Guy Mantzur, Darin Epsilon and Robert Babicz, Arias' production carer has been no less impressive. A 2013 debut for Balkan Connection South America, run by fellow countryman Nicholas Van Orton, quickly led to a host of appearances on a stream of impressive labels that have included Replug, Plattenbank and Sudbeat Music. Indeed, the three-track "Passenger" EP for the latter saw Arias making his debut on the Hernan Cattaneo led label to considerable critical acclaim. Now debuting on Proton Music, the Ezequiel Arias remix is a delightful trip through shimmering chord progressions and intelligently worked motifs that are an intelligent and cleverly worked reimagining of Michael A's original parts. Backed a dominant kick and hypnotic, off-beat percussive groove, the Ezequiel Arias remix is a smooth and joyous affair.

Remixes from Rauschhaus and Ezequiel Arias create a vivid new picture with new interpretations of Michael A and his "Aura Tears".

Damien Spencer joins the Pro B Tech Music family with a three-track release called ‘Try’. This EP includes a Martin Gardoqui & Matias Larrosa remix on one side and a Niceshot remix on the other.

The original mix, ‘Try’ comes in on a positive vibe with major tones and chilled vocals that blend with a progressive house musical construction. The first remix goes darker and in a low-tempo beat marked by deep-techy synth leads. Niceshot´s remix is defined by an atmospheric sound that gives body to this dreamy and uplifting track.

Hernan Cattaneo has been hammering the Niceshot remix over the last month which has been going down very well, we hope you enjoy,

'Antrim’s Or Two Strangers begins the new year by welcoming Analog Jungs back to the label for a new EP. 2019 saw the Cordoba duo deliver their well received ‘Universe / Particle’ EP for the label, while also showcasing their music on Balkan Connection, Beat Boutique, Droid9 and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden. Alsoa favourite of progressive house tastemaker Hernan Cattaneo, Analog Jungs now return to their comfortable of Or Two Strangers with ‘Liria’ alongside a remix from Kamilo Sanclemente& Mauro Aguirre.

Beginning with the title track ‘Liria’ Analog Jungs explore the deeper spectrum of progressive minded house. Its warm, full bodied groove is perfectly sculpted, flowing through emotive chord changes while finely tuned percussion and joyous arps add a buoyant flair. Rising atmospheres elevate mood as the main break commences, with creamy tones adding to the melodic narrative. Eventually melting down to an iridescent glow of colour and texture, the near two minute centrepiece might be the most impassioned moment of Analog Jungs career. Sure to capture the heart of your dance floor before perfectly shifting energy into a driving finale. The companion piece ‘Ocean’ continues the warm, inviting ethos of the EP with a robust, rolling groove, lively rhythms and waves of fiery percussion. Mysterious yet musical, it’s timely shades and tones create stirring moments, before giving way to clustered melodic concepts leading into the break. Expansive once again, the interlude is a story within the story, cinematic and heartwarming in equal measure, building subtly as waves of drums converge for an exhilarating apex and massive drop.

The lone interpretation of ‘Liria’ is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente& Mauro Aguirre. The Colombian duo provided progressive music fans with memorable moments in the second half of 2019, with releases on Nick Warren’s Hope Recordings and Proton Music, while also contributing to Clubsonica’s ‘MMW Sampler’ in 2018. Now coming together for the first time in 2020, Kamilo and Mauro round out the release with a stunning interpretation of ‘Liria’. Tough and driving, the groove commands a large presence as melodic fragments and astral effects adorn the framework. Evolving with a veteran’s savvy, timely drops and tasteful modulation provide a rising wave of tension, as piercing stabs continue to push momentum forward. Spanning almost three minutes in length the main break is a journey into redolent melodies, haunting atmospheres and ghostly wails, all perfectly intertwined and setting the stage for a euphoric finale. An inspired remix from the Kamilo and Mauro which rounds out a welcome return to Or Two Strangers for Analog Jungs, a duo who continue to operate at a creative peak.'
