Andrea Cassino has been a long-term contributor to the Proton Music catalogues in both solo and collaborative guises. After a 2017 debut with his "Divine" and 2019's "Losing Part of Me" EPs, the Argentinean based artist returns with his twin-track "Asante". In collaboration with Bueno Aries resident, Lio Q, signed to the likes of UV, Clubsonica Records and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Andrea & Cassino & Lio Q present "Asante".

The title track is a flowing rhythmic offering that explodes into life with syncopated motif and strong dancefloor character. Free-flowing synth phrases add a moment of contemplation that reach a zenith at the breakdown, while the second half continues the powerful rhythmic groove as bass, melody combine in hypnotic fashion. "Karibu" continues the exceptional percussive drive of its partner-track as an African-inspired melodic phrase adds context and sonic imagination. Pulsating gently as it weaves a path across a magical 9-minute voyage, shimmering synth plucks at the breakdown extend into the post-breakdown zenith along with a glorious array of uplifting counterpoint phrasing.

Producing from his Córdoba studio at the base of the Sierra Chicas mountains, Sebastian Sellares is an artist who has shone brightly since a 2018 debut for PHW Elements. Hitting the heights on the likes of UV, onedotsixtwo and Meanwhile, October 2020's "Jinsei / Zen State" was a Proton Music high point as the two original tracks were joined by remixes from Nick Muir and Matias Chilano. Now returning, the Sebastian Sellares remix is a powerful tour de force that grasps the themes central to the original and transforms "Asante" in a mesmerising and brooding club floor-filler that oozes class with its rhythmic intricacy and smooth melodic phrasing. Building effortlessly into the breakdown, chord changes and rousing crescendo pave the way for the rhythmic intensity and dramatic melodies to make their presence felt in the third movement to devastating effect.

A Proton Music debutant, Gaston Ponte has already demonstrated his considerable talent on an array of blue-chip labels and a double century of production credits on the likes of Balkan Connection, Soundteller Records and Stellar Fountain. Mentored by Andrea Cassino, it is not difficult to hear the skill and craftsmanship that has gone into the Argentinean's reworking of "Asante". Through a combination of intelligent use of the component sounds found in the original plus impressive new production material, the Gaston Ponte remix glistens with a new melodic narrative with its roots firmly in Cassino & Lio Q's track. A pulsating and rasping bassline add to the dynamic interpretation in the second half to create a club-friendly offering that is certain to have global appeal.

Two new original tracks from Andrea Cassino & Lio Q plus remixes from Sebastian Sellares and Gaston Ponte has given global appeal and a warm welcome to "Asante".

NOIYSE PROJECT - IN A CLOUDLAND

Continuing what has been a strong first year, Ruben Karapetyan’s RKP imprint welcomes Yonsh to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Russia, Vladimir Demchenko aka Yonsh has been a fixture of the progressive house community for the better part of three years. On the strength of early tracks such as ‘Arange’ and ‘Sheld’, Yonsh was tipped as a newcomer to watch. Fast forward a short two years and the Moscow resident now lays claim to an impressive resume with releases via Mango Alley, Sound Avenue and The Soundgarden, while genre tastemakers Cid Inc, Emi Galvan, Ruben Karapetyan, Nicolas Rada and Nick Warren have chimed in with support along the way. Now, continuing on an upwards trajectory as 2023 winds to a close, Yonsh adds RKP to his resume with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Rounding’. 

The title selection 'Rounding’ finds Yonsh operating at his creative peak with a production rich in character and groove. Creating a confident energy from the outset, its rhythmic drive is anchored by chunky basslines, metallic fragments and growling synths, tastefully building to a wild-eyed intensity of glowing pads and flashing percussive arrangements. With a breakdown that exudes spirit, Yonsh pulls from his expansive repertoire, infusing shimmering synths with orbiting effects for the perfect prelude to a powerful drop and chunky grooved-out finale. 

The release concludes with ‘Connect’ which further cements the EP's dancefloor minded ethos. Here, Yonsh's meticulous design and dreamlike elegance conjures up utopian visions, as cutting edge sonics and rolling rhythmic structures layer a bed of pulsating beats and swaying percussion. Ethereal melodies highlight the main break, bringing with them emotion, mystery and intrigue, further revealing the Russian's creative attitude, before a finale of devilish stabs and timely overlays provide a textural rain of melodic colour to round out the EP in style.

A map of echoes and basslines.
Fractals folding into dub, deep house and minimal traces.
Three pieces, shifting between the floor and the void.
Estray moves fluid, bending genres, bending time.
Fractal Grid is not a place, but a pattern—
a grid that expands the deeper you step inside.
