04/26 Proton Music & Silk Digital present Silk Way 3: Origins
In the last year one thing has become increasingly clear: in the world of progressive house, Silk Digital Records has proven to be a powerhouse of raw talent. With an abundant over-saturation of new artists entering the scene every day, Silk has managed to develop an extraordinary number of all-stars from Mango, Arthur Deep, Solarity, Schodt, B.O.N.G., Elfsong & Aeron Aether, and plenty more.
So here now is Silk Way 3, the latest collaboration between Proton Music and Silk, aptly titled "Origins", consisting of five progressive house tracks overflowing with emotional melodies and energetic grooves. You may not have heard of every name on this sampler, but if history repeats itself, chances are they'll be names to be reckoned with come the end of the year. Take a listen, we think you'll agree!

tONKPROJECT (Proton Music, Urbantorque, Elevation) and his deep/minimal alias Ebencrib (Particles, Etoka) give the track a theatrical electronic make over filled with trippy sound effects and lush soundscapes. tONKPROJECT hosts the monthly "Behaviors" show on Proton Radio and the "Behaviors" label on Proton Music.
And finally, Jono Fernandez (Proton Music, Baroque, EQ Grey) goes in a completely different direction with a carefree, happy progressive house remix filled with some retro sounding synths.

Frustrated that 'Unsigned' was the most played label on the station after four years of broadcasting, it was only a matter of time that Proton Radio would try its hand in the music business.
Proton Music gears itself towards the artists and DJs that create the music we love-- our goal is to provide the means for delivering the best quality dance music to the masses while in the process making sure that the musicians receive the best possible compensation for their work.
When you purchase an individual track on the Proton Music label you can trust that your hard earned cash is going to the one that deserves it most-- the artist. We believe that this approach gives incentives to listeners to support the music rather than pirate it.
The Proton compilation series will feature exclusively compiled DJ sets previously un-aired on Proton while showcasing tracks submitted by artists to support the station. Its goal is to raise the necessary funds to keep Proton broadcasting and provide exposure for the artists it features and the DJ that compiles it.
Opencloud has created nothing short of a static buzz over the past year. With over 40 single releases and headlining some of the most prestigious venues in the country, this duo has created one of the top rated shows on Proton Radio and has become the number one selling artist on Proton Music.
Ricky Ryan is no stranger to Proton Radio, with a legion of adoring fans worldwide he hosts one of the stations most popular shows and holds the honor of being the first DJ on the station to ever reach 1000 listeners during a live broadcast.
Following the success of Lance Cashion’s “The Sound”, Proton Radio returns with “Bucktown Business” - a single disc release mixed by Brian Ffar and Daniel Mnookin from the shows “Red Line Sessions” and “Tic Tech Toe” respectively.
After over a year of hosting the Sound on Proton Radio, Lance Cashion inaugurates the station's mix compilation series with a 2CD release showcasing a varied repertoire of tracks submitted by artists to support Proton...
