Random Musings - February 2021

An established artist with a sizeable reputation, Proton Music welcomes Cream to the Proton Music roster with his first solo release on the label, "Rubikon". A regular on the likes of Electronic Tree, Superordinate Music and Soundteller Records, the Polish artist has created a distinctive and powerful sound with over 200 production credits to his name. Particles highlights include 2015's "Neverland" EP with Deep Fog, as the duo hit the heights on Proton Music with a trio of remixes for GMJ & Matter, Trilucid and Andrea Cassino & Greenage, between 2018 and 2020. Now, establishing himself as a solo artist, "Rubikon" is an elegantly crafted progressive house gem that drifts enticingly along with dramatic bassline and atmospheric synth lines. Anchored by a heavy beat and intricate percussive groove, a filtered arpeggio comes to the fore in emotive fashion, building to a zenith at the mid-point. The rasping bassline makes its presence felt in the third movement as the track glistens to a conclusion with sparkling brio and effervescent production work.

A name requiring no introduction to the Proton Music cognoscenti, Christian Wedekind has been at the forefront of dance music for over 15 years with his D-Nox alter-ego. A regular across a host of blue-chip imprints during that time, work for the likes of Balance Music, Systematic Recordings, Tronic and his own Sprout Music, have shone a light on over 500 production credits. Remixes for Juan Deminicis in 2019 and Anton MAKe in April 2021 have seen the German icon make a name for himself on Proton Music in recent times as D-Nox now returns with a stellar reworking of "Rubikon". Taking the core themes of Cream's original, a bouncing bassline and ticking percussive groove pave the way for the central motif to filter its way gently into sonic range amidst a beautifully textured pad and white-noise effects. Adding a swathe of additional production material, the second half explodes into a glorious collage of melody and dancefloor rhythm.

A comparative newcomer to the underground scene, Lisandro has quickly made a name for himself with his distinctive blend of organic, deep and progressive house. Owner of the Flug Lab imprint whose reputation continues to rapidly grow, the Buenos Aries based artist has been a regular on such esteemed imprints as When We Dip XYZ, Hoomidaas and Nick Warren's The Soundgarden since a 2018 debut on his own label. A pair of remixes for Proton Music in 2020 and 2021 for Erdi Irmak and Magitman showcased the Argentinean's talent as he now returns for a third outing. Creating a delicate percussive groove, a glorious array of melodic elements shifts enticingly across the near 8-mine remix in perfect counterpoint harmony. Making immaculate use of Cream's original components, the Lisandro remix of "Rubikon" includes a raft of new production material that makes its presence felt at the breakdown before extending into the third movement with ease to create a supremely crafted reworking, full of technique and skill.

Through captivating solo work, Cream crosses the "Rubikon", ably supported by D-Nox and Lisandro.

Release Promo Review

Madloch's Sound Avenue opens the new year by showcasing new interpretations of Eric Lune's 'Dreaming Home'. Originally released in May of 2021 as part of the Aussie artist's 'Dreaming Home' two-track showcase, its tastefully melodic disposition proved to be a worthy follow-up to 2019's progressive anthem 'Embers'. Now as 2022 gets underway, Sound Avenue invites Sebastian Sellares, Forty Cats and Harmonious to re-imagine 'Dreaming Home' for the winter season.

Returning to the label and providing the first interpretation of 'Dreaming Home' is Sebastian Sellares. Also known under his previous moniker Monje, Sebastian hails from one of Argentina's most talent-rich regions in Cordoba. Since adopting his given name for his musical endeavors in 2018, Sebastian has gone on to showcase his music via UK behemoth Anjunadeep, Antrim's Or Two Strangers, GMJ and Matter's meanwhile and long-standing US imprint Proton Music. Having made his Sound Avenue debut in 2021 with a well-received rendition of 'Union Eterna' by Matias Vilas, Sebastian now makes a welcome return to the label with a stunning take on 'Dreaming Home'. Fluid and groovy in equal measure, it's a mix that carries the spirit of the original, while adding a peak time sensibility through driving grooves and otherworldly effects. Building beautifully across the first movement, Sebastian fragments the lead theme and reprocesses the vocal into a colourful canopy which blankets a trance inducing groove. Emotive chord changes carry a strong character into the break, perfectly setting the stage for the lead theme to work its magic. Its nostalgic musicality resonates against a backdrop of shapeshifting vocals and cosmic effects, tastefully building tension towards a classy crescendo and heartfelt finale.

Back in February, “Mindfulness” served as the intro to Winter Particles 2019. Savvas now delivers a full-length label debut centered around the sublime single! Remixing the title track, Imran Khan is still riding high from his first release on Particles’ big brother, Proton Music. Featuring revisions by English and Irish legends, Barry Jamieson and Silinder, “Organik” marked a turning point in the Londoner’s young career. Khan thus channels that momentum into upcoming remixes of Rick Pier O’Neil and the aforementioned Greek maestro. The latter invokes great introspection through its deep bass, crisp percussion and ethereal atmos.

Mindfulness

Premiere: Savvas - Mindfulness (Imran Khan Remix) [Particles]

Originally part of the "Winter Particles 2019" in February 2019, Savvas opened the compilation with the glorious "Mindfulness". Now the melodic techno offering is given its own release accompanied by a brand-new original track and remixes from UK and Russian producers.

Savvas Karabinos has been at the heart of Greece's underground dance scene for some years. Hailing from the home of US house, the Chicago born artist has carved out a sizeable niche for himself with a swathe of open-air parties a plethora of releases on some of the finest imprints. Thus, Anjunadeep, Manjumasi and Nie Wieder Schlafen have all played host to the Savvas name. In addition to the title track, "The Lost Kingdom" is characterised by a clave-led percussive groove forming the foundation for a hypnotic arpeggio sequence to sit intelligently alongside the rhythmic foundation. Building in intensity, a rich and reverb-laden motif makes its presence felt, particularly at the stripped back breakdown, before blending with metronomic rhythm in the second half.

Fresh from the superlative "Organik" EP on Proton Music that included remixes from Barry Jamieson's Mono Electric Orchestra moniker and Irish legend, Silinder, Imran Khan returns to Particles after success with his "Arrival" on "Winter Particles 2018" and subsequent full release with remixes from Hot TuneiK and Kamilo Sanclemente and Dabeat. Remixing both artists in October 2017 and August 2018 and a Dante Pippi and Demitros reworking in November 2018, Imran Khan returns with a wonderful progressive house interpretation of "Mindfulness" that ripples and shimmers with contemplative prowess. Reinventing the central themes of Savvas' work creates a new melodic variation that percolates through the seven-minute track with skill and craftsmanship. Hitting its stride with richly textured pads that build to a denouement in the multi-faceted breakdown, Khan's remix is a work of sonic beauty.

An artist who has continued to gain prominence and traction through the course of 2019, Russian born, Izzet, began his production career in 2010 with initial work signed to NewBorn Records before going on to feature on a clutch of impressive imprints in the intervening decade. As such, releases on Clinique, Proton Limited and Liquid Grooves saw Izzet make his mark before "Summer Goodbye" hit the Particles catalogue in January 2019. Remixes from Bluum and Malbetrieb contributed the success as he built on his growing reputation. Now returning, Izzet treats "Lost Kingdom" to a wonderfully textured reworking that pulsates gently through sumptuously layered pads and cleverly programmed rhythmic interplay. Making clever use of a sympathetic arpeggio sequence that resonates with Savvas' original, the second half opens up in glorious manner to create a typically impressive production from the Izzet studio.

New music plus remixes from Imran Khan and Izzet finds Savvas successful in the here and now with his "Mindfulness".

Mindfulness (Imran Khan Remix)

'Antrim’s Or Two Strangers begins the new year by welcoming Analog Jungs back to the label for a new EP. 2019 saw the Cordoba duo deliver their well received ‘Universe / Particle’ EP for the label, while also showcasing their music on Balkan Connection, Beat Boutique, Droid9 and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden. Alsoa favourite of progressive house tastemaker Hernan Cattaneo, Analog Jungs now return to their comfortable of Or Two Strangers with ‘Liria’ alongside a remix from Kamilo Sanclemente& Mauro Aguirre.

Beginning with the title track ‘Liria’ Analog Jungs explore the deeper spectrum of progressive minded house. Its warm, full bodied groove is perfectly sculpted, flowing through emotive chord changes while finely tuned percussion and joyous arps add a buoyant flair. Rising atmospheres elevate mood as the main break commences, with creamy tones adding to the melodic narrative. Eventually melting down to an iridescent glow of colour and texture, the near two minute centrepiece might be the most impassioned moment of Analog Jungs career. Sure to capture the heart of your dance floor before perfectly shifting energy into a driving finale. The companion piece ‘Ocean’ continues the warm, inviting ethos of the EP with a robust, rolling groove, lively rhythms and waves of fiery percussion. Mysterious yet musical, it’s timely shades and tones create stirring moments, before giving way to clustered melodic concepts leading into the break. Expansive once again, the interlude is a story within the story, cinematic and heartwarming in equal measure, building subtly as waves of drums converge for an exhilarating apex and massive drop.

The lone interpretation of ‘Liria’ is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente& Mauro Aguirre. The Colombian duo provided progressive music fans with memorable moments in the second half of 2019, with releases on Nick Warren’s Hope Recordings and Proton Music, while also contributing to Clubsonica’s ‘MMW Sampler’ in 2018. Now coming together for the first time in 2020, Kamilo and Mauro round out the release with a stunning interpretation of ‘Liria’. Tough and driving, the groove commands a large presence as melodic fragments and astral effects adorn the framework. Evolving with a veteran’s savvy, timely drops and tasteful modulation provide a rising wave of tension, as piercing stabs continue to push momentum forward. Spanning almost three minutes in length the main break is a journey into redolent melodies, haunting atmospheres and ghostly wails, all perfectly intertwined and setting the stage for a euphoric finale. An inspired remix from the Kamilo and Mauro which rounds out a welcome return to Or Two Strangers for Analog Jungs, a duo who continue to operate at a creative peak.'

About us 

We are Eating People but don't be afraid. It will only hurt a little…

Eating People is an electronic music label & art collective. We try to merge the borders between art and music, be free with our ideas and visions and have fun playing around with different forms of art. 

From Slow cooked techno to medium rare Club sandwiches... we show you a revolutionary new way of cooking. Be careful and don't burn your tongue!

Shocking aromatic! So stop the diet and start to sin. 

The process - From Music to unique Art-Vinyl 

As part of our holistic concept every Vinyl is a unique piece of art.
Our releasing artists have the chance to paint their own cover art on a mosaic of 4x4 blank Vinyl covers, which we use as a big canvas. 

This entire picture is then used to create the album cover for the digital release and vinyl production. To make each vinyl unique, we decided to hand paint the cover lines on the front cover of every vinyl. So you can become the owner of a small piece of art & music. The vinyls are also limited and numbered. So better be fast!

Industry heavyweights Yousef, Alan Fitzpatrick and Avision team up for an astounding 2 track EP on Yousef’s Circus Recordings

The EP opens up with the dancefloor-destroying title track. A steady, up-tempo and commanding drum pattern builds the energy along with subtle synths that work their way around the rhythm. Enigmatic vocal samples flicker into the mix with high-octane echoing synth stabs cascading in halfway through, taking the track to dizzying heights.

‘Twilight Dance’ follows, kicking things off with dreamy percussion and shuffled shakers that welcome the arrival of firm 4/4 kicks. Built around a beautifully crafted jumping synth line the trio build the track with finesse layering punchy claps and zingy cymbals, punctured by occasional high-energy drones for a dose of pure euphoria.

Delivering two peak-timers, Yousef, Fitzpatrick and Avision come together to provide the sounds that are sure to shake up any dancefloor!
