Originally part of the "Winter Particles 2019" in February 2019, Savvas opened the compilation with the glorious "Mindfulness". Now the melodic techno offering is given its own release accompanied by a brand-new original track and remixes from UK and Russian producers.

Savvas Karabinos has been at the heart of Greece's underground dance scene for some years. Hailing from the home of US house, the Chicago born artist has carved out a sizeable niche for himself with a swathe of open-air parties a plethora of releases on some of the finest imprints. Thus, Anjunadeep, Manjumasi and Nie Wieder Schlafen have all played host to the Savvas name. In addition to the title track, "The Lost Kingdom" is characterised by a clave-led percussive groove forming the foundation for a hypnotic arpeggio sequence to sit intelligently alongside the rhythmic foundation. Building in intensity, a rich and reverb-laden motif makes its presence felt, particularly at the stripped back breakdown, before blending with metronomic rhythm in the second half.

Fresh from the superlative "Organik" EP on Proton Music that included remixes from Barry Jamieson's Mono Electric Orchestra moniker and Irish legend, Silinder, Imran Khan returns to Particles after success with his "Arrival" on "Winter Particles 2018" and subsequent full release with remixes from Hot TuneiK and Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat. Remixing both artists in October 2017 and August 2018 and a Dante Pippi and Demitros reworking in November 2018, Imran Khan returns with a wonderful progressive house interpretation of "Mindfulness" that ripples and shimmers with contemplative prowess. Reinventing the central themes of Savvas' work creates a new melodic variation that percolates through the seven-minute track with skill and craftsmanship. Hitting its stride with richly textured pads that build to a denouement in the multi-faceted breakdown, Khan's remix is a work of sonic beauty.

An artist who has continued to gain prominence and traction through the course of 2019, Russian born, Izzet, began his production career in 2010 with initial work signed to NewBorn Records before going on to feature on a clutch of impressive imprints in the intervening decade. As such, releases on Clinique, Proton Limited and Liquid Grooves saw Izzet make his mark before "Summer Goodbye" hit the Particles catalogue in January 2019. Remixes from Bluum and Malbetrieb contributed the success as he built on his growing reputation. Now returning, Izzet treats "Lost Kingdom" to a wonderfully textured reworking that pulsates gently through sumptuously layered pads and cleverly programmed rhythmic interplay. Making clever use of a sympathetic arpeggio sequence that resonates with Savvas' original, the second half opens up in glorious manner to create a typically impressive production from the Izzet studio.

New music plus remixes from Imran Khan and Izzet finds Savvas successful in the here and now with his "Mindfulness".

Savvas - Mindfulness [Particles]

If art decorates space, music decorates time. As a DJ-this is just a hobby-my goal in recording sets is to create a soundtrack to life: theme music for my adventures. I embrace an inclusive approach to genres, refusing to limit myself to any specific style; my broad taste allows me to explore many types of music, ensuring a unique experience for every set.

These sets take the listener on a journey-not my journey, but yours. It could be a voyage in your mind or a hike with headphones on. I am just a messenger who curates a selection of songs created by very talented producers.

Sometimes, the tracks I select resonate with the emotions I am feeling. Other times, I read the room, and my goal is to create an enjoyable experience for the audience. Often, I discover a new favorite track that really slaps, and I include it in a set so I can enjoy it fully, along with complementary tracks leading up to the new favorite, guiding the listener back into Earth's orbit afterward.

Recently, I crafted "Dan's Radio 008" as a thoughtful gift, featuring a favorite track, "I Can't Save You," alongside my personal favorite, "Salve in the Mist." This mix isn't just about the music; it’s a harmonious bridge that captures my creativity and passion.

By the way, I am a Civil Engineer by profession. My journey has taught me the value of community and togetherness, reflecting my desire to connect with others through the universal language of music. I hope you enjoy the sounds, and I'd love to hear your feedback.

My name is Marcin and for 4 years I did co-run a radio show Wieczór Klubowy @ Radio Luz in Wrocław, Poland. The show was devoted to any kind of club music: from nu disco trough drum and bass to techno. We also promoted 1-hour deejay sets in our additional project, Stereofoniczny Mieszacz Studyjny. I also co-ran a website nightscope.pl, where club music was promoted as well. I do not run these projects anymore, but the knowledge and experience with club music I got is something that will truly stay forever. I might temporarily not be associated with any blog or radio station, but I still like sharing my feedback about tracks that I like, so feel free to send me the promos to m.skrent@gmail.com. No illegal sharing will be involved. It's all about presenting music to the wider audience! I occasionally have a chance to appear in some radio shows as a guest and often take underground tracks to make them more known.

Greek-based, Chicago-born Savvas is a producer and dj.

He joined forces with Vasilis Giouvris aka Yosebu in 2000 and under the name Acropod they released their first album on Klik records and a few singles and remixes on labels around the globe.

Street Dance that doesn't need to jam up. 
It just hits you in the face with his unflattering, direct rhytms.

Somewhere between Cosmic & Dark Disco, Deep Emotions, Indie-Dance, Space, Sunrise, Sex, Post Punk, Rock'n'Roll, Psychedelic Magic, Mayans, New Wave, Italo and Love.

Started my love of music back when I went clubbing in London and Ibiza, went to the USA and as much as I loved it in the USA the clubbing just wasn’t like it was back in the uk. The British are some of the best music lovers and DJs.
My love of all sorts of music keeps me going now that I live back in England down in sunny Brighton. 
If I didn’t have my music I honestly don’t know what sort of a life I would have lived.  
I’ve never heard so much amazing music over the years. 
Thanks to all the DJs for sharing there music and sound cloud, I love it
