Proton Pack #224

E SHARP [ clip:FULL_MIDSECTION-v2 ]

Plume [Minimal Groove Concept]

Muladhara

A child of the 1980s, Greek artist, Simos Tagias has seen his profile soar at an astonishing rate in recent times. Continuing this upwards trajectory, Proton Music is delighted to announce the release of a debut original EP for the label, in the shape of the twin-track, "Airlock".

Hailing from the beautiful city of Serres in northern Greece, Simos Tagias, has found himself at the vanguard of underground dance scene. Discovering a passion for dance music in the 1990s at the threshold of bold and exciting times for the genre, Simos began his first foray in the world of DJ'ing through private parties and local events. Entering the world of commercial production in late 2012, the "Voices EP" for Lynx Music set him on a path from which he would not look back. Some thirty production credits for the label have followed as a prolific career took off in spectacular fashion.

Over the past three years, almost a triple century of production credits can be found next to the Simos Tagias name, as Stellar Fountain, Balkan Connection and Silk Angel Recordings have played host to his work. Furthermore, an appearance on the "Sudbeats 3" compilation with Michael and Levan and Stiven Rivic, with the track "Vega", for the Hernan Cattaneo owned label, was a notable career high point. In tandem with a blossoming production career, DJ appearances across Europe have begun to accelerate with performances alongside Guy J, Luis Junior and Scotty.A.

The successful monthly "Omega" show on Proton Radio continues to showcase Simos' mixing skills and production talent and he has been a regular on the Particles imprint since April 2015 with an array of original and remix material. A single remix of Soulwerk in the summer of 2016 accounts for output on Proton Music thus far, so it with no considerable degree of satisfaction and excitement, that we welcome Simos Tagias and his "Airlock" EP to the label.

The title track itself opens with a blistering percussive section, ticking hi-hats and rapid-fire shakers sharing the upper frequencies with clicking claves. Evolving hypnotically, an intelligent locked groove plays it part through syncopated bass line, as a collage of intermittent effects and gated white noise pads keep interest high. Stepped melodic sequences add a touch of fashionable class to "Airlock" and the resultant effect is to produce a track in the Cid Inc. mould that it is certain to keep dance floors seething in the early hours.

Partner track, "Disco Freak" continues the deep, dark, hypnotic sentiment as a dominant beat anchors itself to urgent percussive rhythms and relentless bass groove. Developing elegantly over the course of its near-eight-minute voyage, a delicious rising effect circles the left-right spectrum, combined with breathy vocal sample, rising to a crescendo at the mid-point breakdown before launching into a huge drop. Bringing together rhythm and melody in glorious harmony for the third movement, an additional layer of melodic cadence brings further intrigue in a highly impressive and mature offering.

A brand new original offering in the shape of the "Airlock" EP has demonstrated Simos Tagias' vice like grip on the underground dance scene.

As the seasons changed, late summer heralded "Purple Rain" for Peter Makto and Gregory S in September 2018. Now returning to the EP, a quartet of artists from South America reinterpret both tracks.

A Colombian artist with a rapidly growing reputation for producing high-quality underground progressive house, Kamilo Sanclemente continues to impress from his Cali home in the southwest of the country. A regular on the likes of Clubsonica Records, FSOE UV and Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital, some 200 production credits can be found against his name in a prolific period between 2017 and 2018. August 2017 marked a debut for Particles with the three-track "Revelations" EP, followed by "Eva" in May 2018. January 2019 marked a debut for Proton Music in the shape of the beautiful "Spiral Patters". Joined by sometime collaboration partner and fellow Colombian, Dabeat, the pair saw the track remixed by iconic Brazilian artist, Andre Sobota. Coming together on a clutch of blue-chip releases for the likes of Soundteller and BeatFreak Recordings, February 2019 marked a high-point for the duo with the release of "Your Smile is Priceless" on Mango Alley. Now returning to Proton Music, Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat have created a wonderful interpretation of "Purple Rain" that sits upon an intricate percussive framework. The central melodic theme of the original punctures the mid-range, intelligently effected to create a new cadence, while a glorious array of additional production material makes its presence felt through rippling arpeggio sequence and rich pads. The result is typically impressive result that illustrates why the duo's sound is proving so popular.

Another South American pairing of burgeoning reputation, the Brazilian duo of Demitros and Dante Pippi continue to "awaken evolving minds" with their unique blend of ticking percussive grooves and dynamic melodies. Both successful artists in their own rights, the pair have found their work allied to a selection of high-calibre imprints that include Balkan Connection, One Of A Kind and an outing on the successful Visceral compilation series. Moreover, a high-profile remix of Pole Folder in August 2018 paved the way for the four-track "When You Get There" EP which featured a reciprocal mix from the iconic Belgian DJ and producer. Gaining further traction at the end of 2018 with a remix for UK trio, Trilucid and Phil Martyn, it is an honour to welcome Demitros and Dante Pippi to Proton Music with their reworking of "Grey Rain". Immediately recognisable with its intelligent use of the bassline so central to Peter Makto and Gregory S' track, a pulsating percussive rhythm is joined by a raft of new melodic phrases and arpeggiated sequence. Evolving elegantly, the track hits its stride in the third movement with a dynamic combination of broken-beat rhythm and melody that is certain to find favour with club-goers across South America and beyond.

Remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat and Demitros and Dante Pippi have continued a torrent of creativity in Peter Makto and Gregory S' "Purple Rain".

'Tripswitch’s flourishing ONEDOTSIXTWO imprint is steadily making its mark, seeking out and featuring the finest world-class talent within the global underground progressive house scene. 

For their 13th release, they reveal ‘Part 1’ of a two part series (‘Part 2’ is scheduled to drop end of summer) featuring a selection of stunning tracks from DJ/Producer Lucas Rossi. Hailing from that hotbed of Latino American musical talent – Córdoba, Argentina – Lucas is one of the city’s hottest ascendant stars. ‘Part 1’ is further enhanced with an outstanding remix from the supremely talented Belarusian producer, Michael A.

In its original form ‘Distance’ is a stealthily hypnotic, pulsating beast, built with subtle percussion, melodious motifs, overlaid with perceptive vocal snippets. This is followed by ‘Untold Stories’, another joyously hypnotic, melody rich offering from Lucas. Completing the creative package, Michael A’s remix adds his magical mixture of distinctive percussive elements, simmers with anticipatory energy and takes ‘Distance’ on an ethereal remixed journey to the heavens.
