Discography

An artist with a cast-iron reputation within the underground dance fraternity, GMJ continues to chart a stratospheric upwards trajectory with an ever-growing production portfolio. Now returning to Proton Music, the Australian star presents a pair of new tracks through his "Rise Above" EP.

A Particles and Proton Music veteran with a stellar cast of original and remix material over both labels, Gavin Griffin continues to provide the flagship imprint with a regular supply of increasingly high-quality music that saw "Sovereign Reality" and "Catharsis" released in October 2017 and May 2019. Now returning with his third solo original EP, the title track is a typically sumptuous offering that is characterised by a head-shaking groove and expertly crafted bassline that evolves imperceptibly over time. Through a panoply of white-noise effects, multi-layered pads and subtle synth phrasing, "Rise Above" reaches a rousing denouement with spine-tingling moments expertly placed throughout. Continuing the atmospheric narrative of its predecessor, "Unbound Reality" finds free-flowing melodies meandering across its 7-minute voyage alongside intermittent vocal sample. Wrapped delicately around a crisp rhythmic shell, syncopated motifs and powerful beat are the perfect juxtaposition to the unencumbered melody.

Another Proton regular sees Simos Tagias return to the label after a remix of LADS in January 2021. Responsible for 2017's "Airlock" and 2018's "Audacity", the Greek producer has also presided over a clutch of high-profile remixes for the likes of Tim Penner and Soulwerk, while also being remixed by such esteemed names as James Monro and Petar Dundov. Once again hitting new heights, the Simos Tagias remix of "Rise Above" is a bold, pulsating affair that uses the themes central to GMJ's original and reframes them within a powerful new rhythmic framework. Using organic house inspired vocal phrasing, new melodies appear at the stripped-back breakdown before a refined arpeggiated sequence gives shifts aural focus in the second half.

A veteran of the underground dance scene, Savvas is another artist with a long-established connection with electronic music. After a 2011 debut for Bellboy Records, Savvas has found himself featuring on Sag & Tre, Magician On Duty and Anjunadeep. The "Mindfulness" EP was a notable Particles highlight in early 2019 while a remix of Rick Pier O'Neil's "Earth Mover" in July 2017 and a full debut EP to follow, mark an impressive emergence on Proton Music. Reworking "Unbound Reality", the wandering melodic lines of the original are complemented by a glittering arpeggiated sequence, revealed in the second movement, and extending into the beatless breakdown. Additional melodic phrases from the Savvas studio lilt delicately in the second half accompanied in seamless fashion with GMJ original components. The resultant sonic tapestry is a joy to behold.

Creating a new twin-track offering of unparalleled pedigree with contributions from Simos Tagias and Savvas, GMJ continues to "Rise Above" with impressive regularity.

GMJ - Rise Above

A relative newcomer to the underground dance fraternity, Rayomand has made a considerable splash since an early 2019 debut for Submarine Vibes with his "Untold Stories". The "Feelings" EP for Particles in March 2020 marked an impressive first outing on the label as the Bangalore based producer now returns with "Running Away". The title track is a beautifully imagined piece that meanders enticingly, with fluid piano motif and lazy percussive backdrop providing an emotive combination. Subtly introduced, layers of filtered arpeggio and memorable effects build into the second half with ease, as clever gating introduces an intelligent new cadence. "Textures" provides a slightly more upbeat moment where strong beat and immaculately programmed bassline interact with each other in pristine fashion. A glittering arpeggio flies across the stereo spectrum in dizzying manner while pulsating pads and smoothly imagined keys create wonderfully layered moments. Hitting the heights in the third movement, innovative pitching and crunchy saturation creates an impressively imagined track.

Hailing from the sprawling Sao Paolo megalopolis, Vínicius Souza has been a force to be reckoned with through his RIGOONI production moniker. A 2018 debut for Digiment Records has quickly seen the Brazilian go on to feature on Nick Warren's Balance compilation, before appearances on Anjunadeep, The Soundgarden and Roger Martinez's Higher States. Now making his Particles debut, the RIGOONI remix of "Running Away" is a supremely crafted affair that glistens with popping, clicking percussive effects that pave the way for ethereal vocal breaths to add a melancholic air. Creating a familiar air with the chord progressions fundamental to Rayomand's original, new melodies emerge in emotive fashion while the arpeggio central to the original, makes its presence felt in the second half atop metronomic grooved bassline and pounding beat.

Andrea Cassino needs little introduction with a back catalogue that has seen him at the forefront of the dance music industry for two decades. Firmly settled in his adopted Argentinean home, the Italian has been a regular contributor to Proton Music and Particles with both production partner, Alex Laben, and subsequently in impressive solo guise. 2017's "Divine" EP marked a debut solo outing on Proton Music with "Losing Part of Me" following in September 2020. A perfect sextet of remixes have found their way onto Particles for the likes of Nicolas Rada, Danny Lloyd and Simos Tagias, while a seventh now sees Andrea Cassino return to rework Rayomand. A pulsating, progressive house gem, a powerful bassline groove lays the foundation for elements from the original to sit enticingly on top, not least in the pitched effects so central to "Running Away". Creating a new melodic phrasing with its roots in Rayomand's work, Andrea Cassino's skill is to create a powerful and evocative interpretation that adds real gravitas to proceedings before subtle arpeggiated refrains make their presence felt in the final movement.

Through a pair of original tracks and remixes from RIGOONI and Andrea Cassino, Rayomand is "Running Away" with success.

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. We humans have found nifty ways to define and help us understand it. Yet everyone's perception of this strange thing is unique.

Time dissolves into oblivion, if someone pushes "play" on the right track at the right place and time. Well, not too long ago the universe pushed a monumental pause button causing time and with it life on earth to freeze - but: our hearts never did.

We kept them in a safe place. And now a new summer is here, one that invites the dancing feet back to the places we hold so dearly.
"A Mirror For The Sun" is a compilation of pieces, which strive for no less than be the soundtrack that awakens our spirits, now that the big play button has finally been pushed.

The 2nd Volume of ‘A Mirror For the Sun’ is here, compiled by @nikisadeki, featuring 27 artists and 15 songs.

TASH x MANGO Lost

001 lost
002 lost rauschhaus remix
003 lost kyotto remix
004 lost oliver & tom remix

Greece and Russia join forces in a new movement through the Balkans where Tash and Mango find a "Lost" musical world. Elemental basslines pulsate through the earth's magnetic fields as hypnotic rhythms guide and control lustrous textures. Cascading arpeggios rise and fall to build new sonic patterns and subtle melodic phrasing finds its place. Rising from the Baltic coast, Rauschhaus returns with ice cool melody and reimagined intrigue. Entwined motifs are Lost' within each other in smooth melancholy and haunting vocal refrain. Clubland rhythms find their mark through snare rolls and powerfully pitched drop in a new mesmerising interpretation.

Diverse musical backgrounds combine within cosmopolitan Buenos Aries where childhood's end brought shared synthesised dreams. Oliver and Tom find a new lost' memory that floats through a haze of shimmering pads, analogue lines and subtle pulsing waves. Motifs shine and chord progressions provide a new hope among familiar bassline presence. Meanwhile, a lost Roman settlement sits on the Iberian Peninsula where Kyotto defines a new vision across the Atlantic Ocean. Resonant bass force rumbles under heavy beat and raw energy. Light melodies float across the bay in perfect juxtaposition where familiar patterns echo within a new voyage of discovery and new vocal phrasing creates an understated shift in emphasis.

BLOND:ISH’s Abracadabra label kicks off their 2025 campaign with a new single from rising star Enamour who delivers the arresting percussive workout ‘Is This Your Card?’

Enamour has been making serious waves on the scene of late, earning support from the likes of Solomun, Black Coffee and CamelPhat. His releases have landed on some of the most exciting house and techno labels, including Diynamic, Get Physical, and Crosstown Rebels. As a DJ, Enamour has played at esteemed venues such as Space Miami, The Brooklyn Mirage and Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles.

“I've always been interested in blurring genre lines and pushing boundaries with my music and this one is no exception. "Is This Your Card?" is meant to turn heads with my borderline-over-the-top sound design and afro-house and Detroit techno influences. The dancefloor response all summer was really positive, so when I saw that Viv had been supporting my track "Zizzy", I sent her this one as it was similarly wild and fun… the rest is history.”
