Hypnotic🔊🎶♻️ I dig it👽 🕳💨

absolutely gorgeous !! uplifting spiritual <3

After a host of impressive releases on Proton Music dating back to late 2013, James Monro launched his "Sanctuary" series in November 2020 with a typical style and panache. "Vol. 2" followed in late 2021 as the UK artist now returns with a third volume combining a trio of original pieces plus a pair of standout remixes. The "Isolator" opener is a smooth downtempo piece infused with meandering jazz-infused melodies. Effortlessly building energy through intelligent use of an expanding rhythmic backdrop, a strong bassline with growling accents and dynamic effects provides a rousing finale. The power of Rockers Unite" is in immediate evidence via a glissando bassline that drives the heavy beat and hypnotic top-line through a gently evolving sweep. A delicate arpeggio adds to the melodic flow as vocal cuts and white-noise infused pads open-up post breakdown to a glorious and imaginative zenith. Characterised by a chunky rhythmic framework and deep bass sequence, "Reflex" gently evolves over its near 9-minute timeframe as each movement is introduced with a percussive and melodic element. Gently pulsing pads and atmospheric vocal sample add to the sultry atmosphere, while a joyous synth motif enters the fray post-breakdown.

Award-winning Jamie Stevens has become a Proton Music regular since a remix of Rudy's "All Things Fade" in 2019. Reworkings of Petar Dundov and Magitman have followed in December 2020 and June 2021 while the Australian artist, renowned for his work on the likes of Bedrock, Lost & Found and microCastle, now returns to Proton with an outstanding interpretation of "Another Weirdo". Originally part of "Sanctuary, Vol. 1", Jamie Sevens applies his trademark technique and craftsmanship to create a vibrant new version that shimmers with filtered arpeggio that is rooted firmly in James Monro's original. Evolving atop heavy beat and strong off-beat percussion, the track pauses for breath at the mid-point before building once more into sparkling sunlit offering that is certain to fill dancefloors across the globe.

A second remix sees the return of Sylvain Guiraud under his Clawz SG moniker. A Steyeyoke resident with over 150 production credits on the Soul Button led label, the French artist has created quite a stir on Proton Music with his 2019 "Domuyo" and 2021 "Urania" EPs that have included remixes from such prominent artists as Jonas Saalbach and Robert Babicz. Now returning to Proton with a debut remix, the Clawz SG interpretation of "Injected with a Serum" is a glorious melodic techno infused track that replaces the broken beat rhythm with a ticking four-to-the-floor powerhouse. A sublime growling bassline gradually emerges, built upon Monro's closing section, as a mesmerising arpeggio then provides the perfect juxtaposition. A bassline mirrored leads adds further weight in the second half to a spectacular conclusion.

Finding refuge in music, James Monro continues to inspire and soothe through "Sanctuary, Vol. 3".

John Cosani returns to the label with a powerful new EP!

Highly regarded among his peers, the plucky Argentinian has continued to gather pace with stand out tracks for Tale & Tone, onedotsixtwo, and Visceral to name a few. As well as DJ sets across Argentina and a stellar performance for Sudbeat recently at Stereo, Montreal.

Opening with 'Vulgare' John establishes his trademark style early with rolling shakers and muted sonics filtering up over the first section, and with the pace increasing tensions grow. The midsection renders out those threads of melody and the full fleshed out track is powerful and emotive.

Next up, 'One Dollar' thunders from the speakers from the off. Deep and dubby, the motifs linger adding tension throughout. A strong mid-set vibe for those big event crowds. Finally, 'Pink Power' rounds out the collection with subtle tribal feels. Spiky mid-bass powers the tune along for those head down groovathons he does so well. Peaking at the breakdown, this is one wild ride you'll want to be on all night long!

Picture yourself in your favourite dancing space, Dave Seaman & Hernan Cattaneo are playing back-to-back - and that beautiful track you’re hearing? It’s right here, and it’s sumptuous. Oh, and the title? It goes back many years to when the boys were sharing DJing tricks and tips over dinner in Buenos Aires, and said knowledge was shared on the nearest napkin. A napkin that Hernan still has!!

’Napkin Knowledge’ is taken from Selador Decade EP 2 - the second EP released to celebrate the acclaimed UK label’s landmark 10th Anniversary - also featuring sizzling collaborations from Steve Parry x Renato Cohen, Zoo Brazil x Circulation, and James Harcourt x Heik.

Launched last year by Sydney Blu and Rebekah, 23by23 is an initiative that aims to encourage labels to increase the proportion of female artists on their roster. 

Part of that initiative was setting up a number of remix competitions with various respected labels, the latest of which sees Joyce Muniz feat. Demetrius back on Poker Flat with new versions of her 2020 single What’s Your Name, from SWAH, BLU 9 and Esther Benoit.

SWAH is an up and coming producer from San Diego. Her versatile production style blurs genres and ranges from deep house, to dark, driving melodic techno. Her remix is a moody, tense, melodic tech gem, juxtaposing the hushed spoken word vocal with effervescent synth lines and crisp percussion. 

BLU 9 is a Chicago born and raised DJ and producer operating within the ranks of the underground house and techno scene. Her remix is a raw, pummelling techno thumper best suited for heads-down basement raves.  

Hailing from Toronto, Esther Benoit came out on the local scene mixing a combination of minimal, deep and tech house: ranging from light, funky and playful to shamelessly deep and dirty. Completing the package, she delivers a hypnotic techy cut that boils with pent up aggression.

Premiere: James Monro - Another Weirdo (Jamie Stevens Remix) [Proton Music]

'Austrian artist and DJ Marcus Cito is entering the realm of techno music with his debut release on Berlin based Teenage Mutants' label Tragedie.

Sharp and precise synth patterns combined with a driving deep low end define all these three new and unique interpretations of the genre. The “Porto” EP is therefore the perfect match for any melodic and peak time Techno enthusiast, looking for a memorable experience.

“Porto” enters the room with a loud and distinctive sounding power drill synth. It is the musical version of an energetic boxing fight ending with a full knock out at the second drop.

“Discendo” is built upon a raw aggressive synth blended in nicely with a dreamy pluck pattern. The overall majestic feeling of the record finds its peak during the dynamic breakdown followed by an unrestrained and distorted impact.

“Aeronautico” takes its passengers to space and lets them throw a techno rave on the balcony of Jupiter. Every single element adds towards the surreal and futuristic feeling of the record.'

Premiere: Marcus Cito - Discendo [Tragedie]

Belgian producer Axel Haube makes his debut appearance at Eleatics with 'Disconnected' EP.
Main 'Disconnected' seizes a well-crafted playout of bright and mellow analog sounds fitted into a smooth and ornate arrangement.
Teaming up with Italian singer Running Pine, Axel delivers 'Fading' - immersive and emotive work from this duo. Elegant Running Pine's vocals are drowning into a mystic fleur of the deep and exciting instrumental.
Italian producer Ivan Masa comes with the synthesizing carnival on his remix. Full of striving and sharp sounds alongside heavy expansive percussions, the whole work is properly formed into a firm dancefloor pleaser.
Another revision of 'Fading' is crafted by The Element, who is making his great version dark and somber, but intense with many playful and hidden sounds all over the mix.
A complete release from another talent we are proud to open the doors for.
Meanwhile, we prepare more music to share with you. With no boundaries, as always.
