Out of Lithuania comes Valdemaras Baranovskis, aka Weepee, with a trifecta of a debut for Jay Epoch's Particles label. All 3 songs are slow building burners, with a hefty groove, mature production, and serious melodies.
Discovered through the A&R work of Ricky Ryan on the Sick Watona and Avangardia imprints, Weepee recently guest starred on the Particles radio show with an impressive set of entirely his own production. He's a fresh face in the scene but doesn't sound like it: his music has been supported already on Proton Radio by DJs like Eelke Kleijn, Gai Barone, Miss Nine, and Spesh.
Eelke Kleijn (Outside the Box / GU / Manual)
great ep, love the strong grooves
Andre Sobota (Audio Therapy, Proton Music)
Perseus is my favourite, insane... thanks!
Jerome Isma-ae

Johan Vermeulen (aka Interplay)

Soliquid (Baroque, Proton)
'Facts' for me. I like that one the most :-)

whoa - nice dark melodic prog - will kick off my live sets with Platea!
09/01 Soundcloud & Ableton present Cid Inc. remix contest.
Named by Beatport as one of their Progressive House Artists of 2009, Henri Hurtig – otherwise known as Cid Inc. – is Producer, Remixer, DJ, Mastering Engineer and Label Manager of Replug Recordings. He has tracks signed to many of the best labels around including Bedrock and Global Underground. There have been numerous compilation appearances along with a strong remix portfolio; John Digweed, Pole Folder, Mason and D-Nox & Beckers were among those given a reworking in Henri's forward thinking progressive style.
Full details on the "Filaments" remix contest is available at findremix.com. Prizes from Ableton, Soundcloud, and a release on Replug. Deadline is end of the month!
08/22 Prance about with Ryan Davis' "Fawna"
For those of you that loved the high days of James Holden's Border Community, when glitched out techno could be as melodic and emotional as a heart break-- and for those of you that fondly remember the peak time, progressive days of Sasha and Digweed when it was it was more than just OK to whip out the breaks in a breakdown. This one's for you.
Proton Music welcomes the return of Ryan Davis to our label, the man gifted both technically and artistically who's behind both the *back home and klangwelt music labels. And you might recall "Clouds Passing By"? With the massive Eelke Klein and Moobeam remixes, back in 2008? The successor has arrived. "Fawna" is a new 3 track EP of originals from our emotional German melodic techno prodigy.
Our man of the hour Andre Sobota took a break in between Proton Music singles and writing his Bungle album to give us an epic take on "A Nature's Son". This is as beautiful and peaktime and classic as progressive gets folks, and it's a real honor to have it on Proton Music. Watch out for the break down, you haven't anything like this in awhile-- promise!
On the flip side B-Sides' and Further's Chloe Harris strips down "Opus" for one of her most impressive remixes yet: a minimal techno interpretation awash in early morning, closing hour pads and glitchy, hypnotic synths.
Finally, Dual Shaman of Manual Music and Wide Angle comes to us courtesy of Ryan Davis and closes out the release with an alternate mix of Opus that truly captures and refines Ryan's sound.AandR by Renee Ugarteche. Mastered by Henri Hurtig. Cover by Chris Defrancesco.
Jaytech (Anjuna)
Cool sounding stuff, I like the sound of Sobota mix.
John Digweed
good stuff
Eelke Kleijn (OTB / GU / Renaissance / Hope / Dinstinctive / Armada)
love this EP, Ryan = king of chord progression

PQM (KISS FM, Abducted Recordings, Yoshitoshi)
This is one Ridiculously HOT Package... I thought all the beautiful music was gone.... this proves me wrong!!! Fav's are "Follow The Wild Horses" & "A Nature's Son", original mixes Will support on KISS FM.
Inkfish (Tolerant, Inkfish)
Nice stuff, like natures son the best, but strong release in general.
Mitch Alexander (microCastle)
Andre is doing amazing stuff… what a great remix.
Marc Mitchell (Music For Spaceships)
Almost shades of early OMD in here with Ryans originals, luvly package.
08/20 Cassino & Laben "Shine Like A Glitter"
Italy's Cassino and Laben present a full single release of "Shine Like A Glitter" on Particles, our favorite cut off their debut Proton Music album "Don't Be Afraid". The original track is a glitchy, sparkling piece of electronica filled with lush atmosphere, visceral melodies, and wizardly effects. Fans of their recent Moonbeam remix will be all over the new "Flux" mix, giving the track a welcome douse of bounce and groove.
Our tragic love affair with progressive breaks continues to unravel with an incredibly theatrical remix from His Boy Elroy, while Particles prodigy Mobilize unveils a new techie, underground sound in his remix, and finally Danny Lloyd gives us a classically dark and techie progressive house remix with some rather fitting new vocal samples.
Exoplanet (Particles, Alter Image, Silk)
Mobilize mix is stunning, so well produced, I love that deep bass!
SQL
Danny Lloyd's remix is very interesting!
Evren Ulusoy (Plastic City,Proton,I Records,Outside The Box Music,Nightdrive)
Mobilize remix is mobilizing the pack.
Kosmas Epsilon (Epsilon Trax)
Lovely underground deep stuff.
Steve Haines
Nice package, my favourite is the Flux remix.
08/10 Arthur Deep, Shiftone find "Freedom" on Proton Music
Artur Abidzhba (aka Arthur Deep) has been keeping busy. In addition to launching his new SubLogic(al) label on Proton Music, the Russian progressive all-star has been developing a new sound under his the Shiftone alias.
The breakout Shiftone track "Freedom" was originally released at the end of 2009 on Silk, becoming one of the best-selling tracks on the Proton label family in the first half of 2010 as a Beatport Progressive House Top 100 best-seller and a personal favorite of Proton director Jay Epoch.
Now the song gets renewed on the Proton Music flagship with fresh remixes from another Silk talent: B.O.N.G., another success story of Silk AandR team. He collaborates here with new partner Eddie M for a funky, bouncy, techno infused remix.
Quickly becoming a scene favorite, Soundprank (A Must Have, Replug) hits the decks for his second Proton Music remix after giving us a Shiloh one just last month. This one is just as epic, another building block in Colin's imminently massive career.
Finally, Baroque and Sick Watona's Beat Factory project, a collaboration between Big Al (ReadyMix) and Levente Szabo (Human8), makes a Proton Music debut with heavy grooves and tight production.
Solarity (Anjunadeep, Urbantorque, Silk)
Soundprank & B.O.N.G. & Eddie M remixes are cool, thx
07/28 Moonbeam unleashed for "Only This Moment" [Proton Music]
The brothers Khvaleyev are one of Proton's greatest success stories-- joining the station and label years ago, the duo as Moonbeam have undoubtably become an inspiring force in Russian dance music with their multiple labels, chart topping radio shows, and songs signed to top labels like Traum and Black Hole. We're honored to continue working with them!
Here now is "Only This Moment", the best-selling track off Moonbeam's "Tokyo Dragon" EP for Proton Music, revisited now by Lank (microCastle, Baroque) host of the Bounce Back show on Proton Radio, Cassino & Laben(Particles), and Kobana & Mario Hatchet (Silk, Sick Watona).
Kosmas Epsilon (Audio Therapy, Epsilontrax)

07/18 Going "One Day Out" with Andre Sobota on [Proton Music]
"One Day Out" is the second single release from Andre Sobota's "Outside" EP, arriving on Proton Music following June's best-selling "Red Dust". Remixes come in this time from Baroque's SOLIQUID, Silk's SHINGO NAKAMURA, and the Proton Music debut of Particles' SANDJI.
Drum and Bass fans might better know Brazil's Andre Sobota for his melodic, atmospheric work as Bungle-- in progressive house circles though his 4/4 work has been recognized on Dave Seaman's Audio Therapy label and on Spectrum Recordings back in 2008 when his remix of Gui Boratto's Triads first caught our attention. At the beginning of 2010 Andre released the "Outside" EP on Proton Music, and now 6 months on, we're happy to present single releases of each of the 3 tracks with some outstanding remixes.
The final package comes later this summer with remixes of "Unreal" from Cid Inc. and Tomy DeClerque.
Solarity (Anjunadeep, Urbantorque, Silk)
Always quality from Andre Sobota, we were hammering the original when it was first released. Sandji mix is the pick here.
