Luke Chable & Steve May - Blend Forty 3 (Topher's Kingdom Remix feat. Lisa Gerrard)

16 Bit Lolitas - Personal Space (Guy J Remix) [microCastle]

Andre Sobota is a grande forca in the world of modern dance music. Effortlessly transcending genres while impossibly retaining the respect of DJs and fans alike, the Brazilian from the cosmopolitan city of Sao Paolo has become an iconic figure in both underground and mainstream dance arenas through an unrivalled dedication and passion to his craft, delivered now to Proton through his "Signal".

An accomplished musician in a variety of forms, Sobota's success has its roots in a mastery of electronic music in all its guises, executed with rare skill, verve and technique. This, combined with the melting pot of multicultural influences inherent in his home city, has enabled Sobota to "connect distant areas of music in a distinctive way" to secure the respect of his peers and the continued admiration of a faithful following that has extended far beyond his South American heritage to the four corners of the world.

Fast approaching 250 production credits, the Andre Sobota resume reads like a list of the finest wines extending from a 2008 vintage on Spectrum Recordings, through exquisite performances on such impressive labels as microCastle, Anjunadeep and Toolroom. Such a blue chip list extends further with the best-selling remix of Coldplay and Rihanna's "Princess of China" which elevated Sobota further still to the highest echelons of modern producer.

A regular on BBC Radio, "Aura" was featured on Matt Zo's Radio 1 "Essential Mix", while the forthcoming "Astral Lady" on Anjunadeep recently received support from Simon Patterson on the "BBC Radio 1's Residency".

Proton Music has also become a welcome stopover on the course of Andre Sobota's musical voyage. The "Outside" EP hit New Year's Eve parties at the start of 2010, going on to receive stellar remixes from the likes of Kassey Voorn and Ryan Davis while "One Day Out" and "Unreal" shone in luminescent beauty later that year. 2014 marked a return with a glorious remix of Tvardovsky's "Hope" and it is with real pleasure that Proton Music welcomes back Andre Sobota with "Signal", his first original new music for the label in four years.

Full of trademark galloping rhythms, the melodic poise with which "Signal" quickly hits its stride is a joy to behold. Emotionally charged, Sobota's dance floor energy is a fundamental component that drives emotive melodies in effortless fashion to create an intelligent work of captivating beauty.

A welcome return to Proton Music, Andre Sobota is about to "Signal" his intent with the creation of yet another masterpiece.

Artist: Animal Picnic & Aaryon
Title: Euphony
Label: Steyoyoke
Format: Digital
Digital Release Date: Dec 19th, 2014
Cat No: SYYK028
Cover Art: Stella Gelesh

Fusing together the enigma of mythology and their love for music, Animal Picnic and Steyoyoke new comer Aaryon, join forces in creating their latest EP ‘Euphony’. The release consists of three original tracks, which all reflect the harmonious dynamics and creative symmetry that can occur when collaborations such as these are aligned. ’Euphony’ ignites your imagination and fills you with both fascination and nostalgia.

Presenting a concoction of daunting synth lines and beckoning vocals, is the EP’s first track ‘Kymera’. With its undulating basslines and consistent rhythmic flow, ‘Kymera’ is deceptive in its initial vibe of casual complacency. As the track progresses, psychedelic inflictions and atmospheric sweeteners are layered beautifully, to expose the tracks true virtues.

‘Hydra’ is track number two and it offers up a sovereignty of vitality and melodic elegance. It possess a plethora of hard hitting drum layers and delivers exhilarating crescendos that lift and guide you to a place of symphonic contentment. It also boasts some stunning piano sequences that are ornamental in illuminating ‘Hydra’s’ sense of mystification and charm.

The final track on ‘Euphony’ is titled ‘Madara’ and it also follows in the footsteps of the first two tracks and maintains a potency of audio surrealism. It penetrates you with a powerful bass heavy arrangement that is carried on a wave of persistent motion and drive. Couple this with stabbing synths and interludes of vocals that phase in and out during the entire track and you will be left with a lasting sentiment of esoteric bliss.

One of my alltime favorite bands, Faithless included my track "Running Backwards" in their Essential Mix at BBC Radio 1. Maxi Jazz (the MC from Faithless) even wrote a special vocal for my song and they also added their percussions. Back in 1995 I used to play their Insomnia track nonstop on my tiny synthesizer and now they are playing my stuff... wow I'm so much honored!!

Come As You Are

Mike Hennessy - Come As You Are (Tom Glass Remix)

Music collaborations in the twenty-first century often span intercontinental borders and with Rick Pier O'Neil & Desaturate no exception to this underground dance phenomenon, the "Crouch/Cursed" EP continues a fruitful and exciting relationship.

Requiring little introduction, Rick Pier O'Neil's long history in the dance music genre has seen him hit the heights of US Billboard chart success with his music featuring on industry giants, Sony Music, Universal and Motown, while remixing legends including Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder and Lenny Kravitz. Three decades spent in front of packed club audiences and generating numerous club hits has seen the Frenchman hit heights few could dare to dream of. The success of his RPO and Garbage imprints has also garnered universal support with Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia and John Digweed all fans. Well-travelled, finding homes in France, Spain and Mexico, O'Neil's work for the likes of JOOF, Clinique and Bonzai Progressive has seen the artist continually at the top of his game.

Originally from Yugoslavia and similarly well-travelled, finding homes in Australia and his native Serbia, Janko Dragovic has tasted considerable success as one half of the popular Progress Inn outfit. With DJ appearances across Europe in the late 2000s and appearances at the Future Music Festival and Creamfields at the turn of the decade alongside the likes of the Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J and James Holden, Dragovic's credibility is second to none. Coupled with an enviable production career that has seen Vapour, OLD SQL and Suffused Music home to his productions, a turn to solo activities under the Desaturate soubriquet has bought continued success. With Soulfire Downloads, Replug and Balkan Connection South America part of a growing portfolio, the Desaturate name continues to grow apace.

A Particles debut via the "Spirals" EP saw the Rick Pier O'Neil & Desaturate pairing hit the ground running before an appearance on the "Sudbeats 3" compilation confirmed their status as one of the underground progressive scene's leading lights. With remixes of "Spirals" coming from Danny Lloyd, LoQuai and Nicholas Van Orton across both Particles and Balkan Connection South America editions, we are delighted to welcome Rick Pier O'Neil & Desaturate back to the label.

Immediately demonstrating dance floor credentials, "Crouch" opens with a bouncing, grooved bass lines that sits perfectly within dominant kick and entwined in ticking percussive flair. Building with ominous intensity, a series of crashing spot effects add character and depth while a second mirrored bass builds the lower frequency range. Snare rolls and pads add club pedigree in a rousing crescendo to a work of skill and dynamism.

Partner track "Cursed" continues the up-tempo beat and bouncing bass groove of its predecessor as trademark melodic effects spray across the stereo spectrum, accompanied by a simple melodic riff that adds intelligent earworm. Pitched vocal whispers, redolent in delay, add a haunting texture to the running bass and dance friendly structure creating a cleverly constructed floor-filling gem.

The "Crouch/Cursed" EP from the creative minds of Rick Pier O'Neil & Desaturate finds the duo weaving a spellbinding display of magic once again.

Rick Pier O'Neil & Desaturate - Cursed

John Digweed’s Bedrock label is focused on releasing exceptional, forward-thinking electronic music, constantly working with some of the world’s finest artists, whose musical palettes are intensely inspired and musically diverse. Quivver (aka John Graham) is one such true musical innovator, a legend in electronic music circles and renowned as being one of the scene’s most essential creators since the early 1990’s. 
The chilled ‘Reprise’ versions of (the excellently titled) ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ and ‘This Was’ were critically acclaimed highlights on the recent ‘Bedrock 18’ album, and now, to kick-off 2017 in style, the original club versions are set for their own single release.

As you would expect from one of the world’s finest electronic producers, innovative experimentation flows freely through Quivver productions, with ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ leading the way…

“The title ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ came about as I was trying to come up with vocal ideas for the track and did what I usually do - sing nonsense lyrics and try to find a good melody, at which point I usually go back and write proper lyrics, but since I liked the sound of the vocal I left the random nonsense as it was - then fed some of it through Alchemy to make it sound even weirder.” - Quivver

This element of open-minded electronic research has created an exceptionally original element for what is a gloriously groovy, hip-swinging, melodic gem that constantly mutates and develops from start to finish. This spirit of experimentation is continued with the deeply delicious vibes of ‘This Was’, and yet another perfect late-night Quivver delight is the end result.
On the live front, John has been keeping busy playing Quivver shows in South America, Amsterdam, Budapest, Ukraine, and Liverpool recently, and is currently readying himself to tour Japan in late January 2017. Never one to shy away from a creative curve-ball, he has also had a lot of fun playing a couple of live shows recently under his old drum & bass moniker – Skanna – a project he intends to revive with some new releases in the coming months.

<p>Having released D-Nox &amp; Beckers&#8217; Distance album in May 2011, Christian Smith&#8217;s Tronic label have assembled an impressive cast of talent for this two-part remix package which will bridge the label&#8217;s release schedule as 2011 ends and 2012 begins. Bringing together names from techno, tech house and progressive, this collection of reworks not only reflects the broad music styling of the original album but also embodies the wide genre range across which Tronic has come to operate as it seamlessly blends deep, tough, melodic and percussive flavours.</p>

<p>Part Two of the remix collection ups the ante a notch or two with eye widening reworks from four of the most respected producers of 2011. Bushwacka! leads off the charge, fresh from his headline grabbing work for Plus 8 and Intec, to give &#8216;You Are&#8217; a shuffling, deep bass twist. Santos delivers a tense and energetic rework of &#8216;Follow Me&#8217;, bristling with percussive sexiness and exotic chants. Bedrock&#8217;s Guy J works up his magic with a deep and dream like version of &#8216;I Will Rise&#8217;. While Uto Karem shows exactly why he has been one of the most hyped names of the year with his remix of &#8216;What I Have&#8217;. There is also space for a re-issue of Christian Smith&#8217;s remix of &#8216;My Voice&#8217; as well as an alternative dub version of Dustin Zahn&#8217;s remix of &#8216;Sunner&#8217;.</p>
