After releasing his debut single via UK taste-maker electronic label Black Butter, which went on to receive extensive airplay on all BBC Stations in the UK and support throughout Europe, the Swedish singer, multi instrumentalist and producer went on to release the next single "Turn Around" via Italian electronic label Life & Death. The single, accompanied by the original track "Boys & Girls" and remix by German producer duo Âme, soon made its way across dancelfoors and sets across the globe.

"In a lot of ways I escape in music," explains Sjodin. "It's a world where I feel home, where life is quite easy, where I can explore sides of me I didn't knew existed."

As the string-swept power balladry of "Tough Love" bleeds into the beatific melodrama of last year's "Turn Around", the tense, slow-burning summit of "Sweat" rises. The latter is Sailor & I's latest deep cut, the lead-off listen from an EP that also manages to turn a classic Joy Division track ("Disorder") on its head. Faithfully mind you, as a blank, drum-less canvas is coated in cold-pressed keys and a strictly '80s setup.

"I'm a bit terrified by the force of music," explains Sjodin, "and what it turns me into in the long run. Will it slow down eventually or will it go the other direction and make me insane? I have no idea, but I feel that it’s very important to keep exploring what is behind those invisible doors."

Sailor & I – Sweat

The LA based singer-songwriter and producer Kauf has remixed Public Service Broadcasting's new track 'Go!', taking it from an indie-rock tune to a wicked, chunky dance number.

By laying some of his own vocals on top and going in with the synth, Kauf gave 'Go!' a deep, warm melody and brought it poolside just in time for the summer.

"I hadn't worked on a remix for an album that had a strong singular concept before, in this case the space race, so I was inspired to add some vocals that loosely relate that drive to explore the universe to something a little more personal, like getting to know another person," explained Ronald Kaufman.

With their second single release from their longplayer "Connected", AKA AKA & Thalstroem invite the singer Jim Hickey into the studio. With his soulful, almost fragile voice Hickey weaves a sound carpet of emotions on the complex beat of AKA AKA & Thalstroem which, with his reduced tempo, builds up an enormous groove until the break. When the guitar play of Thomas Moked unfolds to an inspirational source of harmonies, Hickey's voice starts the prelude to the ecstatic climax of the song.
Dan Caster's remix takes many elements of the original, forces up the tempo and clearly shows that it's meant for the dancefloor. While using the original vocal Caster puts it on a high pitch on the middle part, giving it a serious recognizability; Teenage Mutants divergs quite a bit more from the original and concentrates on his crystal clear bassline and concise drums, which are broken up through spacy layers and wide opening synths and even while having a 4-to-the-floor mix, give time to dream and flow with the music.

As the New Year opens its doors on 2018, full of hope and promise, Proton Music uncovers another gem from the jewel-encrusted rock face of underground dance music. A beautifully polished sound now sees newcomer, Rudy, sparkle and shine with his "Time / Spirit" EP.

An artist who made an instant splash with his debut release on Subjekt Recordings, Brighton based producer, Rudy Dubé, scored an instant hit from his base on the English south coast with "Transformation". Released with remixes from fellow south coast resident and global star, Kris Davis, alongside Berlin based icon, Martin Roth, Rudy hit the ground at quite a pace in mid-2016.

Going on to release "Monday" on Chouette Music in late-2016, the "Qualia" EP for Los Angeles based imprint, Oleeva Records in May 2017 showcased Dubé's penchat for Deep House as the track lit up the scene, also appearing on James Warren's "Visceral" compilation series. With his flair for blending rhythm and melody in exciting and innovative fashion, a further remix for Nie Wieder Schlafen saw a sublime interpretation of Quatri's "Ozora" that hit the number one spot in "Proton Pack 149". A subsequent debut on Proton Music then saw Rudy taking on David Calo's techno monster, "Chronomatic" in December 2017.

Now Rudy returns to the label with a wonderful triptych that epitomises his unique and compelling sound. Opener, "Sea Change" hypnotises with its strong kick backbone and evolving arpeggio line that shimmers in delayed glory. A whispering hi-hat shuffle emerges at the mid-point while a rich sub-bass fills the low-end and rasping analogue bass stab commanding attention with its Moog-like characteristics. A beautiful organ interlude sees creates an intelligent pause in proceedings before arps and rhythm combine once more in the final movement.

The strong rhythmic qualities of its predecessor are fully to the fore in "Time" as a complex percussive cadence supplies the framework for a collage of sublime melodies and chord progressions to float effortlessly across a seven-minute voyage. Contemplative in tone, the track title is well-suited to the musical narrative held within. Capped by a trademark warm, rasping bassline. Rudy's skill and craft is in full evidence.

The final offering sees, "Spirit" take centre-stage with its elegant and free-flowing melodies and storming bass line. Fully reminiscent of the Moog-inspired work of Stephan Bodzin's "Powers of Ten", the beautifully crafted bass-lead supplies an astounding work that could have been crafted by the legend himself. The soaring strings and chord progressions add further depth and texture as a driving beat and triplet shakers create a genuine sense of dynamism.

Firmly on the underground map with his stunning brand of music, Rudy has the "Time" and "Spirt" to succeed at the very highest level.
