[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................
A prelude to a forthcoming masterpiece from a Polish maestro,
Filip Kaczmarek's Kobana pseudonym makes its substantial mark
with a full-length debut album. The Riddle provides the answers
to Kobana's success as Proton's best-selling Polish artist it
unlocks the door to a world of rhythmic and melodic intricacy
wrapped up in enigmatic wonder. Now, the first track to step
forward from the album stands apart as Barsoom debuts with a
masterful remix from Chicago resident and long-time Proton
friend, Nick Stoynoff.
Recognised instantly by grandiose bass lines and melodic joy,
Kobana's reign at the top of underground dance scene sees no
'kingslayer' likely to challenge his monarchy. Over 200 Beatport
production credits sit proudly next to the Pole, a hallmark of
quality and a standard bearer for a sound that has seen his
prolific work grace the catalogues of Black Hole, Arrival and
Lowbit. Furthermore, a flourish of activity in 2011 and '12 saw
his work feature on the third and fourth Anjunadeep
compilations, shaping his sound with Yane3dots through Whoosh
and All Those Loose Things.
A revelation for the Particles imprint, collaborative work with
Mario Hatchet saw a bountiful return as did further work with
Yane3dots. A collection of remixes of Poison Pro, Moonbeam and a
recent reworking of DNYO's Shine On This for Proton Music sit
proudly next to 2012's Summer EP as Barsoom now provides a
glimpse into the future. Straight house beats are quickly joined
by a joyous blend of resonant bass, soft melody and a rich
evocative atmosphere so prevalent in Edgar Rice Burroughs vision
of a dying Mars. Barsoom is a snapshot of Kobana's work at the
height of its powers.
Raised in a city synonymous with the inception of the house
movement, Nick Stoynoff transcends musical barriers. Head of
AandR for Solarstone's conceptual Molecule imprint, Stoynoff's
relationship with music has provided him with a rich and
purposeful journey. One-and-a-quarter century of production
credits tell their own story for the leading imprints of Black
Hole, Solaris, Stripped and Cr2. Featuring on a Pete Tong
compilation as well as Solarstone's Electronic Architecture 2
series, tells another. Supported by the 'great and good' of the
DJ community, Stoynoff's own appearances behind the decks has
seen him play before Gabriel and Dresden and Kaskade and an
upcoming live appearance of new material before Hernan Cattaneo
and Nick Warren take to the stage in his hometown, is another
serial highlight.
A long history with Proton saw 2012's Berlin Dream provide a
landmark moment in a rising career. Supported by all and sundry
and remixed by the likes of Scotty.A, Nigel Good and
Colourblock, a subsequent remix of Royal Sapien's Drive in July
2013 carried the momentum forward. Returning to Proton to remix
Kobana, Nick Stoynoff's unique interpretation provides rhythmic
groove aplenty as thickly textured layers provide a rich canopy
of melody atop, echoing the atmospheric themes so prevalent in
Kobana's original work. Rapid-fire shakers and hats combined
with deep rolling bass provide dynamic urgency to a work that
showcases Stoynoff's skill and talent.
A new vision of a classic tale has seen Kobana and Nick Stoynoff
take Barsoom beyond the stars.
