Welcoming new artists to Proton Music is always an honour and
Dimuth K is no exception. With his first outing on the label,
the Sri Lankan delivers his Minesweeper / Beams Aglow EP.
Involved in music from an early age, seeing him share the decks
with Khen, Guy J and Third Son and music signed to the likes of
Balkan Connection, Sudbeat Music and JOOF Recordings, Dimuth K
has made a growing name for himself since a 2015 debut. Finding
his music supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Marcelo Vasami
and Cid Inc., the Colombo resident now opens his Proton Music
account with two high-calibre originals. With a high-energy
opening of running, grooved bassline and hypnotic driving beat,
Minesweeper is a full-on aural assault of the highest order.
Building in intelligent fashion with ticking shakers and
filtered arpeggio, a rich chord progression provides emotion and
dynamism. Reaching a crescendo at the mid-point breakdown with
white-noise powered effects and risers, the driving rhythm hits
its stride in the third movement to impressive effect. The more
languid percussive groove and rolling beat of Beams Aglow paves
the way for a melodic bassline phrase to play its part before
textured pads add depth. Delicately delayed keys ripple in
sparkling fashion, dancing in sunlit patterns, while a distinct
plucked guitar phrase makes its presence felt. Always held in
place by the strong club-friendly framework, the track eases
into the second half with rhythm and bass in full evidence as
melodic elements are reprised once again in the latter stages.
A regular on Proton Music with his immaculate original music and
trademark melodic prowess, the Hidden Arcadia series has seen
Erdi Irmak at his very best. Reaching its fourth and fifth
incarnations in 2020, the series has come off the back of the
sparkling Night EP in 2015 and the full-length You're Either
Guilty Or Not Guilty album for Particles in 2014. Following on
from an April 2019 remix of Senses Of Mind, Erdi now returns
with a glorious reworking of Beams Aglow that captures the
essence of Dimuth K's original with delicate use of the plucked
guitar motif that transcends the Turkish producer's remix.
Adding a smooth percussive backdrop, a freeform, flowing lead
line ripples its ways across the six-minute piece while a smooth
vocal line meanders gently alongside. The outcome is a cleverly
worked interpretation that retains the hallmarks of Irmak's
distinctive style.
Another artist that requires little in the way of introduction
is Simos Tagias. With a back catalogue that includes over 300
production credits, the Greek artist has found a home on Proton
Music with his Airlock and Audacity EPs lighting up the label
with a distinctive musical style that has drawn worldwide
admirers. Indeed, such renowned artists as Petar Dundov and GMJ
were inspired to remix his most recent EP in June 2019. Now
returning to Proton after a July 2019 remix of Color Ray, Simos
Tagias takes Beams Aglow on a wonderful dancefloor journey that
builds on the core elements created by Dimuth K and turns them
into a storming club anthem. With an ever-involving
interpretation that gently builds pace through driving
percussion and head-shaking bassline, an array of new production
material catapults the track into the third movement with a
powerful drop and hypnotic arpeggio sequence.
Original music from Dimuth K and remixes from Erdi Irmak and
Simos Tagias see Minesweeper / Beams Aglow explode into the
underground music scene.
