Notes:
Through 29 pieces of music across 2013, the seasonal Particles series
brought a collection of established and newcomer artists to the label with a
series of tracks that have often gone on to receive full releases in their
own right. Now, 2014 promises to herald a new breed of up and coming
producers alongside established colleagues as the ten-track "Winter
Particles 2014" takes up the reins of a supremely successful series. "Winter
Particles" opens with the soft melodic melancholy of Dutch artist, Mozaiek.
Making his debut, subtle percussive rhythms and strong beat pave the way for
light arpeggiated motifs and pads to drift their way through six-and-a-half
minutes of bliss. Having already cultivated a presence on imprints such as
Balkan Connection and Stellar Fountain, Belarusian, Michael A, contributes
two tracks to the seasonal opener. "Reckless" follows the soft melodic
underpinnings of Mozaiek before opening up into a confident dance floor
offering with drive and energy coursing though its veins. "Quadraped" is
full of dark ominous tones, lifted by the presence of a driving beat,
hypnotic percussion and crystalline, distorted melodic riffs that evolve
into something truly magical by the final movement. Having founded
partnerships with Reelaux Digital and 3rd Avenue, fellow Belarusian, Dmitry
Molosh's "Teleport" provides a deep, dark bass groove, enveloped with
rippling arpeggio and twinkling lead lines to create a richly textured
offering that drives with a delightful verve and vibrancy. A regular on
Particles throughout 2013, "My Space Friend" is full of trademark sounds
that has made Progreg such a sought after producer. Filtered arpeggios
dominate across a bed of 4/4 beats as pulsating pads and emotive key changes
create a work of melodic passion and energy. Providing instant credibility
on Luke Porter's Temporum label, Russian, Rise and Fall, makes his Particles
debut with, "The Vision". A deep, bouncing bass groove nestles closely
against a strong house rhythm as soft pads and melodic themes develop into
an outstanding bass-fuelled motif in the third movement that captures
imagination with its dynamism. Making a full production debut, American
artist Anwalter has contributed two rhythmic offerings here. "And There You
Were" tames pounding beats and bass with soft pulsing pads and light rapid
fire hi-hats, while "Do It" provides a deep house moment with progressive
credentials as a crisp filtered bass makes its mark surrounded by layered
percussive groove and panned arpeggio. Two further debutants make up the
final tranche of music. After a breakthrough 2013, Serbian duo, Beat
Maniacs, have created an impressive track that skips along with percussive
rhythm, accompanied by a collection of stepped and filtered melodies that
create a tight, coherent sound. With a clutch of trance works to his name,
German artist, Arctic Sun, close with a changes pace and a superbly arranged
piece that combines deep resonant pads with a clipped motif that evolves
into a full-blown bouncing top-end groove in the latter stages. A winter
spectacular served up by six debutants among the eight artists provides a
bright start to the year through the ten-track, "Winter Particles 2014".
