When everything is on pause, standing still, in these unsustained moments, the future is just a thin line ahead; where the sky meets the water, the time is no longer endless in the horizon.

Driven to produce a thoroughly modern and highly individual style of underground dance music, Amháin has consistently found himself at the bleeding edge of innovative progressive house. Using his innate skills to transport listeners into new and distant worlds both from behind the decks at the likes of Burning Man in the US and Rainbow Serpent and Lightning in a Bottle his Australian home, Amháin never fails to impress in the studio with a clutch of statement releases. The Purr, Sound Avenue, Mango Alley and GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile have all played host to his talents while April 2023's "Evaporate" EP was a standout release on Particles.

A pair of remixes for Michael A in January 2022 and Erdi Irmak a year later, showcased Amháin's production talent on Proton Music as the New South Wales-based star now releases his debut original EP for the label. Taking two distinct forms, "Starseed" is a blissful, beautifully imagined track that drives easily forward in its "Night Mix" with effortless percussive verve, driving beat and bassline groove. Subtle melodic flourishes float across the mid-range with textured pads and white-noise effect before a glorious breakdown showcases the bass and melodic combination with spine-tingling majesty. The rich bassline force and ingenious rhythmic cadence mark a significant shift in direction during the "Sunrise Mix". Familiar melodies drift easily throughout the 7-minute piece, but the broken-beat vibe and body-shaking groove take "Starseed" in a smooth and effortless new direction, perfect for warm southern hemisphere early mornings.

On remix duties, Sri Lankan star, Subandrio, takes centre stage. A firm favourite among the Proton faithful, the Colombo-based DJ and producer is recognised by his ability to "paint a masterpiece every night with energy and synergy", resulting in him being crowned "Pioneer Middle East DJ of the Year". A stellar cast of remixes represents the Subandrio journey thus far with interpretations of the likes of Matter, Trilucid and Juan Deminicis dating back to a 2016 debut of Pete K. Returning for an eighth time, the Subandrio remix of "Starseed" is a gloriously deep and sophisticated offering that revels in a suite of trademark production characteristics centred around a smooth rolling groove and syncopated bassline. Evolving in silky fashion, familiar melodies reveal themselves with subtly filtered reverence, while a cast of new production material can be heard via the intricate percussive foundation and elegantly crafted melodies at the breakdown. The result is another masterful reworking that showcases Subandrio's skill and technique.

Growing to new heights, Amháin reaches out into the cosmos with "Starseed", ably abetted by Subandrio and his explosive remix.

Time is the rarest substance in the universe: invisible, elusive, yet shaping every breath of existence. To respect it is to master the flow of the stars, to become aware of the silent mathematics that underlies destiny. Each moment is a particle of eternity, waiting to be aligned with intention. Those who move with consciousness don't chase time; they weave it, turning seconds into constellations of meaning that will never fade.
