Velin [Minimal Groove Concept]

With a "Gold Dusted" sprinkling, Vitamindevo cast a golden tech house glow over the Particles 2015 summer. Now reprising the EP, we deliver a pair of new interpretations from two über cool artists with their fingers on the pulse of the thriving SoCal scene.

Impressing with an innate musical sensibility, US DJ and producer, Mark Slee, carries all before him across the bay area. Involved in the music industry for over fifteen years, DJ appearances including a global presence that has realised gigs in South Africa, Mexico and East Coast USA, has seen Slee charter an impressive voyage. Across his San Francisco hometown, appearances alongside Danny Tenaglia, Guy Gerber and Danny Howells has also provided a conduit for Mark Slee's reputation to radiate across the city through the Listed Bookings agency.

As a producer, Mark Slee's developing talent is no less impressive. A 2013 debut, remixing Autim for Looq has led to a further quarter century of production credits for the label including 2014's trilogy of original releases that revelled in deep house glory. Further work for the likes of Cityfox and Submarine Vibes have continued the deep vibe before a remix of Oliver Lieb opened Mark's account for Proton Music, alongside his chart-topping "Heron Sound" Proton Radio show. Now, returning for a second remix, the Mark Slee interpretation of "Gold Dusted" fuses deep percussive rhythms with his penchant for flowing melodic phrasing. A multitude of additional production adds character and depth to a work firmly rooted in the playful nature of Vitamindevo's original as new melody and staccato vocal cuts combine to impressive effect.

Part of the all-conquering Desert Hearts roster, and one half of the highly impressive, Bells and Whistles outfit, Yannick Rieffel is a man of innumerable talents. With production partner, Zack Yakovlev, the pair have found their sound writ large over southern California with appearances at clubs across San Francisco and, most recently, as part of the huge "Desert Hearts Spring Festival" at Los Coyotes Reservation. A clutch of releases spans a production career that began with a remix for Mioli Music in 2012 while May 2015's "Hands" EP for Desert Hearts went on to feature on both the Evocative and Visceral compilation series, thus marking a high point on Bells and Whistles odyssey.

Now, branching out on his own under a new production moniker, Yannick Reiffel debuts his Foolish Fox soubriquet on Particles. Upholding the sonic keystones that feature in the original, the Foolish Fox remix of "Rip Tide" is a delicious voyage in deep house virtuosity. A decadent beat relishes its carefree relationship to pin point timing as a swung hi-hat rhythm section and deep kick provide the perfect vehicle on which to carry a rich bass groove. Building to a crescendo at the mid-point interval, rhythm, melody and additional production marry in exquisite execution in the final movements.

A pair of gold standard remixes from Mark Slee and Foolish Fox have ensured that Vitamindevo's hallmark sound continues to shine through "Gold Dusted".

Tainted Waterfalls

MUUI - Tainted Waterfalls

The sky was pure magic at the beach
After another night of sonic revelry
Avians in reverence.
The Sun projecting pastel forgetfulness
On any cloud it can.
Aimless, floating specimens.
Vapor flying, like I would,
If I were winged and understood,
How oceans infiltrate the skies
On Sunday mornings, hypnotized.

From out of tune to resonance,
The lonely beach denizens
Gather in their chosen spots.
We all just sit and watch

The next time Life forgets to dot the "i's"
And cross the "t's," meet me at the beach,
Where Life transmits its secret code,
To anyone who seeks.

Aspiration

Savvas - Aspiration

At least you can say we tried

We may have lived the lies that transpired
While mired in our pride
We may have had eyes on a prize that wasn't ours to have

But we laughed and played
And worked and prayed
We analyzed and contemplated
They say it's not what you do
But who you are

Shine on, Celestial Superstar

They said we would go far if we applied ourselves
If we pushed and pushed
And raised some Hell

I have heard unexpected bells
Ring from steeples in the clouds
That weren't loud or hard, at all

I have been privy to the rise and fall
But not kept down
I climbed, again

Many times
I'd questioned, "When?" "When my time?"
"What my place?" "Why I'm in this human race?" And even when I raced so far

Couldn't see much through the fog
Yet onward ever I'd advance
To find out who we are

Though still I hardly have a clue
After every fall and second chance
At least, I've had this time with you
If all we'd learned was how to dance.

Estonia, a country filled with countless sights of incredible nature. Inspiration is blooming out of every corner, waiting to be picked up by anyone, who dares to search for it. The estonian producer about : river has embarked on this very journey and returned with a cinematic sound, filled with emotion, texture and fullfilling atmospheres, that create a broad and stimulating release. His originals include live percussion, analogue synthesizers and authentic piano progressions, that are all well balanced, never feeling too much nor too little.

The strong, core melodic ideas have been shifted to the dancefloor and are re-interpretated by the likes of Volen Sentir and canadian debutant Zoi. The incredibly talented duo of Volen Sentir retouched the marvelous "Silver Dusk" with a sharp & continuous groove, mixed with subtle vocal layers and smart elements, that further emphasize the beauty of the main lead. Zoi captures the ground layers of "Feather Rain and is able to extract a hypnotic and simultaniously organic atmosphere, that is inlaid in his silky smooth groove, never pushing it too far, but rather sustaining a constant atmosphere, that is both gentle and energetic.
