An artist who has been pulling up sizeable trees over the past 18 months, Hobin Rude is a welcome addition to the Proton Music roster with his "Found Myself" EP. Based in the Belgrade capital, the Serbian star has over 300 production credits to his name since a June 202 debut, with the likes of Roger Martinez's HIGHER STATES, Praveen Achary's Juicebox Music and Mango's Mango Alley amongst them. Now debuting on Proton Music, the title track is a superbly conceived affair with low-slung percussive groove, deep kick and cadenced bassline. As it evolves, a pitched down vocal cut eerily declares, "Found Myself" while a smooth and flowing lead line adds to the sonic tension inherent within. Pausing at the breakdown and dropping away to momentarily silence, the track soon falls back into the familiar refrains of earlier movements. "Awake Between Worlds" immediately excites with its rapid fire, off-beat hats and thumping kick while atmospheric pads wash over the rhythmic backdrop in textured waves. Haunting and evocative in equal measures, free-flowing chord progressions play out, keenly felt at the beatless but gently pulsing breakdown. Hitting the heights once more in the third movement, familiar rhythms come to the fore as a juxtaposed bass pattern sits underneath the smoothly oscillating pads.

A Proton Music regular, Dmitry Molosh has been at the vanguard of modern Progressive House for some 15 years and 700 production credits. Able to shine a powerful light on his inimitable talent through a host of original releases and remixes, the "Little Friend", "Winds of Change", "River Pond" and "Station" EPs have been notable additions to the Proton Music catalogue. Moreover, remixes for such celebrated names as Kastis Torrau, Trilucid and Paul Deep have showcased another side to the Belarusian's production talents, as Dmitry now works his magic on "Awake Between Worlds". Picking up the pace slightly compared to the original, a sublime sustained bassline creates dynamic dancefloor energy. Cleverly interpreting themes from Hobin Rude's track, Dmitry has shaped the coruscating pads into a series of melodic sequences that sit superbly alongside a rippling arpeggio at the breakdown. Hitting its straps in the second half, courtesy of a stirring snare roll, a growling bassline note delays into the distance as the arp and earlier melodic phrases make their presence felt again with a glorious new additional melody. The result is yet another hugely impressive remix from the Dmitry Molosh production vault.

With trademark style and verve, James Monro has been a significant contributor to Proton Music with a veritable feast of Progressive House since a 2013 debut remixing Juan Deminicis. Since then, the "Sanctuary" series has enjoyed 3 volumes while "In the Ether" represented a high watermark in August 2017 with a full-length album that exuded quality from start to finish. Remixes for the likes of Clawz SG, Desaturate and Rick Pier O'Neil are also among a slew of striking interpretations that have additionally helped shape the James Monro sound. Finding his way back to the label for the first time in 2 years, the James Monro remix is a pounding, rhythmic affair that captures the essence of "Awake Between Worlds" but transforms it into a sparkling new interpretation by intelligent use of original components and immaculately conceived additional production material from James' Brazilian studio. The result is a driving and pulsating remix that turns Hobin Rude's work in hypnotic dancefloor destroyer.

A superb debut EP creates an environment where Hobin Rude has truly "Found Myself" on Proton Music.

Hobin Rude - Awake Between Worlds (Dmitry Molosh Remix)

A legendary figure, Paul Deep has been at the vanguard of the underground dance scene for over a decade. Now he returns to Proton Music with the brand new "You Do" EP.

Showcasing his music on such glittering imprints as GMJ & Matter's Meanwhile, Henry Saiz's Natura Sonoris and Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music, the Argentinean has been a regular on Proton Music since 2022 with his 3-track "Orchid" and June 2024 "Odyssey" original EPs. Returning for the first time in over a year, "You Do" is a typically smooth and polished affair with chest-thumping kick, rolling percussive groove and ticking hi-hats. Add in a subterranean sub-bassline and deliciously hypnotic revolving motifs that expand with glistening delicacy at the mid-point, and the track reveals the extraordinary quality of Paul Deep's production talent.

On remix duties, Roger Martinez is a seasoned, "trance inducing" DJ and production maestro who has been part of the Proton Music roster for more than 15 years since a 2008 debut and the "Retrospect EP". Remixes of Matt Rowan and Moonbeam followed before 2017's "Dream State" was a notable highlight in a glittering portfolio which later saw remixes from Stas Drive and Orsen. Returning with a masterful reinterpretation of "You Do", a powerful tribal groove is immediately in evidence before mesmerising melodic phrases filter into sonic range. A sustained bassline melody at the breakdown is a spine-tingling highlight that perfectly complements the arpeggiated melodic sequencing, while the driving tribal rhythms hit hard once again in the second half alongside an intermittent vocal sample.

A Proton Music newcomer, Juan Ibanez is no stranger to the modern Progressive House scene. Hailing from the north-western province of La Rioja, the Argentinean producer fuses deep and progressive sounds with his music finding its way onto such blue-chip labels as Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden. Now adding Proton Music to that resumé, the Juan Ibanez remix of "You Do" is a sophisticated gem characterised by an intricately programmed rolling groove that lays the perfect foundation for a magnificently deep bass groove to evolve underneath haunting new melodies and the central refrain of Paul Deep's original. As the bassline evolves into new directions, so the melodies follow in effortless patterns as the breakdown explodes into progressive breakbeat territory with whispered vocal sample, before a second half of dizzying arpeggio joy.

Paul Deep finds his magical touch once more with "You Do" ably abetted with remixes from Roger Martinez and Juan Ibanez.

You Do

Paul Deep (AR) - You Do (Roger Martinez Remix)

An artist familiar to the Particles faithful, Martin Branne returns to the label with his Brann (AR) moniker and his "Waves of Madness" EP.

First debuting on the label in September 2023, Brann (AR) immediately created a wave of excitement in the Particles cognoscenti with his "Endless Moments" EP. Already a favourite on such celebrated imprints as Freegrant Music, LuPS Records and Stripped Digital, the Buenos Aires-based artist's first solo outing was further propelled with remixes from Michael A and fellow countryman, Paul Deep. Now returning, "Waves of Madness" is characterised by a complex and fizzing percussive backdrop and heavy beat while a huge sub-bassline creates a relentless drive. A panoply of pitched instruments and haunting lead add depth and subtle, eerie atmosphere that plays expertly to the title. Pausing for breath at the breakdown, the chorus of melodic characters builds to a dramatic zenith before the track erupts into a huge drop where the powerful rhythmic framework develops into a pounding dancefloor destroyer. Partner track, "Thorn" continues the complex rhythmic arrangement as a squelchy, water-inspired effect makes its play against a relentless running bassline. A swathe of melodic characters wend their way easily across the mid-range, not least in a powerfully envisioned analogue lead line and rippling, filtered arp which come to the fore at the stripped-back mid-point. Hitting its straps once more in the second half, the compelling rhythm and bassline bring the track home in devastating club-friendly manner.

Since a 2018 debut on Renesanz, Pablo Maneiro has been a formidable figure in the underground house scene with his Mayro alter-ego. A regular on the likes of Dear Deer, Univack and UV Noir over a 7-year period, 2022's "Crazy Thoughts" EP was a notable Particles highlight in June. Bookended by remixes of Izzet and Mariano Favre in March and October the same year, Mayro returns with a typically forceful reworking of "Thorn". Creating a huge, grooved bassline underneath a hefty kick and syncopated hi-hats, familiar melodic elements from Brann's original find their way into the remix, developing easily over its seven-minute duration. Building in dramatic fashion, the breakdown finds those melodic elements and effects panning the stereo spectrum before a mesmerising second half sees the bassline dominance excel further still amongst the melodic atmosphere. Mayro's resultant work is the creation of a dynamic jewel.

Matias Chilano is another Argentinean who is no stranger to success across 400 production credits and a 17-year career at the centre of the Progressive House sound. A staple across such esteemed imprints as Balkan Connection, LuPS Records, Juicebox Music and James Warren's Visceral series, a quartet of remixes has seen the Córdoba-based artist rework K Nass, Pysh, Mariano Favre and Andre Sobota for Particles. A symmetrical output on Proton Music remix marked impressive remixes for the likes of Huminal, Sebastian Sellares and Lanvary. Now returning to Particles, the Matias Chilano remix is a typically rich and dynamic affair with chunky beat and fizzing effects that swim across the left-right spectrum. Picking up elements of Brann's original – not least at the kaleidoscopic breakdown where the cadenced motif of "Thorn" makes its presence felt – a rasping bass sequence and rippling synth add to a stunning soundscape. A powerful sonic staging is thus in full effect through Matias' immaculate production work, creating a superb dance-friendly interpretation.

"Waves of Madness" make perfect sonic sense through Brann's twin originals, further developed by Mayro and Matias Chilano.

► Release Info:

Coming up next from Cydana Sounds is another team-up for label owner Cendryma! This time, he joins forces with Mexican DJ and producer MUUK, for a dark and moody triple threat that is sure to catch the ear of many fans of the dark and the underground. Opener Outside the Program is a tougher edged affair, driven by atmospheric vocal stabs, deep basslines and a whole lotta mood! The track builds the excitement through a driving groove that fades away until theres only a deep bassline left, creative a transition into the main drop of the tune that is filled with layers upon layers of atmosphere! Up next, we have a tune even darker than the opener, Artificial Mind. Subtle high frequencies cymbals and top loops make the energy unstoppable. An extended breakdown that filters down into the subterranean, filtered bassline releases the tension with a clean drum fill that re-introduces the track at its peak where once again, filtered and reverb-drenched vocal stabs are revealed. The tracks ends just as it began, filtering out the groove and leave just the drums. A perfect tune for those dark, moody nights! Finally, to close the EP is a thunderous affair, G-Force. Having awoken the beast of Cendrymas darkness, MUUKs final collaboration on the EP with the American is truly the perfect closer. Atmospheric, energetic, dark and even a little uplifting. This is the incredible new 3-track EP from MUUK and Cendryma. Keep it locked here!

VAPOUR RECORDINGS

Since 1997 when Kasey Taylor founded Vapour Recordings, the label has gone on and forged itself an enviable reputation, not only as one of Australia’s leading independent dance labels, but the worlds too.

When you feast your ears upon a new Vapour Recordings Ep, think of it as forward thinking dance music. If there is one defining feature of a Vapour record, it’s that it is just a little ahead of its time. The sort of tune that the average person might put back on the shelf, and then later on hear it out in a club and kick themselves because they didn’t realise how damn good it really was at first listen, and because they knew they had just let a gem of a tune slip right through their fingers.

July 2011 saw the label reach it’s landmark 100th release. The clock was wound back for this one choosing artists from the past, present and future to remix the back catalogue. The package contained some fantastic names, with remixes from the likes of Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Luis Junior, Jamie Stevens, Peter Horrevorts, Nick Warren, Dousk, Rodskeez, Fiord and many more.

There are DJs in the world who have vision. Those who can pick up a sound before it becomes popular and break it to the masses. Names like John Digweed & Hernan Cattaneo spring to mind, and Vapour releases have always found their way into the record boxes and charts of these luminaries. They are attributes that Kasey Taylor has also.

It isn’t easy to turn heads in the underground dance music scene when you are a small record label operating from the ass end of the universe! It’s harder to slip promos to DJs and radio station reps, magazine editors and so on. There’s seldom a chance to drop your own track in front of the big name DJs to prove just how effective your music can be. With that in mind, it’s a real credit that Vapour Recordings has earned a spot as premiere labels on the global market, commanding the attention of all the industry heavy weights through nothing more than releasing quality tunes. No huge advertising budgets, no massive PR campaigns, no industry schmoozing, no shit talking, no sales driven drum rolls, no poxy synth lines – Just a talented collective of like minded artists doing it well from around the globe.

Vapour has a strong reputation for releasing quality tunes and we aim to keep up our standards of the highest order.

Vapour Recordings Established 1997
