cHILL BEAT JUST FOR MYSELF

Petar Dundov has made an impressive mark on Proton Music thus far with a pair of typically high-class remixes. Reworkings of Simos Tagias and Huminal in September 2019 and 2020 has seen the Croatian become a welcome figure on the label. Returning to the flagship imprint after releasing the glorious new "Ghostmachine" EP with Gregor Tresher on Dubfire's SCI+TEC imprint in October 2020, Petar's debut solo offering for Proton Music sees the beautiful "Salvation / Nature of Nature" take centre stage.

"Salvation" is a typically smooth and melodious offering that glitters with delayed analogue synth lines and syncopated bass pattern. Building in seamless fashion atmospheric pads and a squelching 303-inspired lead line add intrigue and dancefloor character before counterpoint lines emerge at the mid-point. In tandem, a driving beat and rapid-fire hi-hat percussion create a stunning hypnotic framework. "Nature of Nature" lilts gently along with cleverly programmed bass patterns and percussive wood-block groove that hints at verdant jungle atmosphere. Subtle melodic lines sit atop in shimmering arrays and the 303 character contributes to the EP narrative while stereo-panned pads add class through emotive chord changes.

An award-winning iconic figure with two ARIAs to his name with band, Infusion, Jamie Stevens has been a welcome addition to the Proton family with his trademark sound and meticulous production methods. A global touring schedule and a regular on the likes of Bedrock, Lost & Found and Replug saw the Australian remix Rudy's "All Things Fade" for Proton Music in late 2019 while a reworking of Sam Hopgood's "Lobster" in May 2020 saw an impressive Particles debut. Now returning, the aptly titled "Deeper Version" finds Jamie Stevens present a glorious take on "Nature of Nature" as the subtle melodic flourishes of the original ripple across a backdrop of glittering arpeggio and swathes of additional production material. A new lead line swims across the stereo spectrum as a combination of open cutoff filters and textured pads create a wonderful zenith at the mid-point. A rolling beat and percussion adds head-shaking groove to proceedings in an inspiring new interpretation.

Following on the footsteps of their "Astral" EP in May 2020, Trilucid & Phil Martyn have become firm favourites with the Proton cognoscenti. Via the original and standout remixes from Dmitry Molosh and Bluum, the trio built upon success garnered from a pair of remixes for Stas Drive in March 2019 and Pole Folder's "Serengeti" in April 2020. Now returning to the label, Trilucid & Phi Martyn have produced a gloriously melodic reworking of Dundov's title track as their combined talent produce a dark and sinister vibe that drives effortlessly a grooved bass pattern. An enhanced 303 synth line adds weight and acetylene-torch edge to proceedings as clever use of original components, plus a swathe of original production material, create a dynamic remix that opens up with smooth harmonious tones at the mid-point and into the third movement. The result is another high-calibre offering from the seasoned UK artists.

Offering "Salvation" via a pair of new original track and remixes from Jamie Stevens, Trilucid & Phil Martyn, Petar Dundov has provided a musical force of nature.
