An artist with a powerful story to tell, Hrag Mikkel has been at the forefront of underground dance music since 2017. Now returning to Proton Music for a debut original EP, "Cosmic Bliss / Silver Night" continues that adventure. Born and raised in Lebanon under a raft of challenging circumstances, Hrag Mikkel's voice has resonated loudly through his inspiring sound and sonic mastery. A regular on the likes of Pipe & Pochet, Kindisch and Armen Miran's Hoomidaas, Hrag made a memorable mark on Proton Music with a glorious reworking of Nōpi's "Liquid Week" with fellow countryman Pambouk in April 2021. Now providing the label with two original tracks, "Cosmic Bliss" is a wonderfully imagined work that combines organic and synthesised melodies in sublime symbiosis. An effortless groove provides subtle urgency as glassy keys and counterpoint motifs collide gently against each other to create a palette of brilliant sonic colours. Rippling through a beatless break, melodic elements pick up the pace once more in the second half with poise and grace. "Silver Night" carries the same percussive liquidity as its counterpart with familiar elements continuing the narrative groove. Immaculately placed riffs cascade around each other in a delightful call and response as delayed synths and smooth keys create the perfect juxtaposition. Waxing and waning with ease, the various sonic elements create a typically rich aural tapestry that effortlessly showcases the Hrag Mikkel sound. Jamie Stevens has been creating standout dance music productions for over two decades, both as part of the award-winning Infusion band and in solo guise. A veteran of such esteemed imprints as Bedrock, Lost & Found, Selador and Sudbeat Music, the Australian has been a regular on Proton Music since late 2019 with a quartet of exquisite remixes. Reworking Rudy, Petar Dundov, Magitman, and James Monro (the latter in April 2023), Jamie returns to Proton Music with a fifth remix. Reimagining "Cosmic Bliss", a powerful rhythmic force immediately comes to the fore with superb jungle sounds reminiscent of Future Sound of London forming an atmospheric backdrop. Taking familiar motifs from the original, his skill is to rework them into an evocative 9-minute extravaganza that fires off in new directions, not least in a spine-tingling bass progression and meandering pads. Hitting its stride with a storming breakbeat pattern in the second half, the combination of melodic prowess and dancefloor force illustrates a supreme talent still at the top of his game. The final remix sees Pablo Maneiro make his Proton Music debut through his Mayro production soubriquet. Author of over 150 production credits, the Argentinean star quickly found his place through his effortless merging of genres which led to a 2018 debut on Renesanz. Since then, music signed to the likes of Mango Alley, Perspectives Digital and Miss Monique's Siona Records has seen Mayro making sizeable headlines supported but Eelke Kleijn, Armen Miran and Cid Inc. A clutch of releases on Particles was punctuated by the impressive "Crazy Thoughts" EP in mid-2022 as Mayro now makes his Proton Music debut. Reworking "Cosmic Bliss", a driving beat and ticking off-beat percussion provides a club-friendly framework from which familiar melodic phrases make their presence felt. Adding an array of additional production material in the shape of new motifs and shimmering effects, Hrag Mikkel's track is taken in a dramatic new direction, not least via a rasping, razor-edged bassline groove that powers the remix forwards. Pulsating waves of pads and stereo-panned effects add to the vibrancy in the second half to create a dynamic and visceral offering. Two original tracks plus stunning remixes from Jamie Stevens and Mayro find Hrag Mikkel in a state of sonic "Cosmic Bliss". Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc.

First released in December 2022, Dimuth K and his "Avalanche / The Shaman" brought the year to a climax in imposing fashion. Now Proton Music revisits the award-wining Sri Lankan's EP with a pair of remixes from UK and Colombian artists. Dan Orsen has been a figurehead in the modern progressive house movement for over a decade. First coming onto the radar with earl work for Optimized Recordings in 2014, the UK born, Austrian based artist has gone on to become a staple of Sudbeat Music, Particles and Cid Inc.'s Replug, where he also heads A&R for the Finnish label. A regular on Proton Music with a half dozen remixes since 2016, Orsen has found himself reimagining such key figures as GMJ & Matter, Roger Martinez and Hot TuneiK. Now returning for the first time since May 2021, Orsen has created a driving floor-filler that builds with immaculate craftsmanship over its 8-minute voyage. A superb bassline groove propels the new interpretation of "The Shaman" forwards while a 303-tinged lead line filters to a mesmerising climax at the breakdown before becoming a main feature in the third movement. Rising and falling in waves of sonic intensity, Orsen's skill is to take Dimuth K's work and transport it into a new vibrant direction, while retaining the key sonic characteristics of the original. A regular contributor to Proton Music with his contributions to Kamilo Sanclemente's "Beyond the Future, Vol 1", May 2022's "Equilibrium" and his "Elevate" EP, Dabeat has found himself at the upper echelons of the progressive house scene in recent years. Contributing to that success, the Colombian's work for the likes of Plattenbank, Sprout and Anjunadeep have shone a light onto his burgeoning talent and growing portfolio. Following a remix for Rick Pier O'Neil in late 2022, Dabeat now returns to Proton with an outstanding interpretation of "Avalanche" that is propelled forward by a pounding beat and chunky offbeat percussion. Adding arpeggiated urgency with melodic poise, new production elements are seamlessly combined with core themes found in Dimuth K's original as the track is given a new edge and melodic weight. Pausing at the breakdown alongside metronomic kick and shimmering synth lines, the track blossoms in the second half to magical effect. New interpretations from Orsen and Dabeat have created a new sonic storm for "Avalanche / The Shaman". Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc. Design by Ben Mautner Text by James Warren
