"Fantastic!" -Derek Howell
"Proton have delivered pure quality with every release so far. Same again here. I am about to put together another promo mix for Composure. One of these remixes will be in it for sure..." - Grid System (Compusure/NCode)
The Blendbrank Mix
(click here for a sample)
Although four time zones separate Artem "Greek Nose" Egorov (Ekaterinburg, Russia) and Philipp König (Stuttgart, Germany), their extensive usage of the internet unites them. These two classically trained musicians met online in 2002 through their common interest in crispy electronic disco music from the 1980s and a trashy, bizarre sense of humor.
Artem and Philipp find inspiration in early to mid 80s alternative disco tracks, Chicago house and Italian disco. It's about acts like Pete Shelley, Devo, Patrick Cowley or Telex. Blendbrank's intention is to modernize the atmosphere of '82 -'86 club sound by writing music in similar manner but with a fresher point of view.
"...sucks your head in proper." -Marcus Wortley (Progressive-House.com)
"Really digging this." -Joel Armstrong
"Words can't explain how huge this is. Utterly amazing, completely rocking. Production on a whole different level." -Ministry of Sound
"Great track. Will try this out next week in Buenos Aires!" - Andrew K.
"Tough and driving. Love it!" - Rob Mooney
Diego Noble Mix

Diego Noble is a fresh face in the electronic music scene out of Argentina, making his debut last year on Fiberline Audio's digital label with "Incoming Virus", a collaboration with production partner and long time friend, Can Costa. The track quickly soared to the top of the charts, peaking at #1 on EDMDigital before the stores unfortunate demise.
Now Diego returns in force with what is perhaps the biggest remix of 'Che Malakita', topping both D-Nox & Beckers and Blendbrank with an electro-infused progressive stormer, filled with giant synths and a rocking beat. Not to be missed!
"Excellent party breakbeat, the kind of stuff that I'm relaly feeling lately. Can't wait to play it!" - Dirty (WEVL, Memphis)
"Wicked production and very current. Top stuff!" - Jon Sinclair (M8 Magazine)
Fat Phaze Mix / Ricky Ryan Edit
(remix sample / edit sample)
Olivier Huguenard, a DJ since the age of 18, and Emmanuel Plégat, musician and composer, began collaborating in 1998. They quickly developed a very specific sound to their productions, a signature of guaranteed power and efficiency on the dance floors.
The Fat Phaze project started in 2001 to expresss the electro 80's influences that stunned them as teenagers. The results enlisted enthralling melodies and atmospheres that avoided sampling. The Parisian duo mixes talent with hyper energy rhythms and harmonies, using analogical sounds to communicate their musical universe.
