#17 Feat. Banner in Progressive House

Making a welcome return to the Proton Music catalogue, Luis León and Unseener are joined by the multi-talented Eleonora as they showcase BTG. A single remix comes from iconic figures, Gai Barone and Luke Brancaccio. Renowned figures within the underground dance fraternity, Luis León and Oscar Paredes (aka Unseener) have been at the vanguard of the Progressive House scene with a series of highly polished productions for some of the most illustrious independent labels. From Manjumasi to Oleeva Records and Nie Wieder Schlafen to Lenfant terrible, almost 300 credits have shone a powerful light over their talent, including a century on Luis own Blankhaus Music. Proton Music has also played a part in that success, not least with the Concorde EP in April 2024. A howitzer of a release with remixes from Petar Dundov and Juan Deminicis, Luis León and Unseener return to Proton alongside the vocal talents of Berlin-based, Eleonora. Widely regarded as one of the most important female producers in the underground dance scene, her production work and vocal talent have graced a slew of A-list imprints including Anjunabeats, KATTERMUKKE and Get Physical Records. Making their collective debut, BTG is a superbly crafted breakbeat extravaganza with superlatively spaced bassline groove and delicate melodic progression. Eleonoras vocals quickly add to the sonic collage in bouncing waves of joy and infectious playful quality. Developing easily over its 4-minute timeframe, the track is a breath of fresh air in a world where a touch of sonic joy goes a long way. Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio need little introduction to the Progressive House faithful. Both formidable producers in their own rights with a list of credits that totals nearly 1000 between them, their work in solo and collaborative guises for some of the most important underground imprints, has been seen regularly on the likes of Bedrock, Sprout, Renaissance, Balance Music and Lost & Found. A remix of dernis, the kid in mid-2024 marked a Proton Music debut, while the Got to Get it Started EP in July 2025 showcased an original track of the highest order, alongside remixes from Orsen and Michael A. Now returning with a second remix, the Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio remix is a stunning interpretation that evolves effortlessly over its near 9-minute timeframe with a subtle tribal beat and swathe of stereo-panned effects. Before long, Eleonoras vocals appear front and centre as they float across the deep rhythmic textures. Hitting another level at the breakdown, the introduction of a devastating synth pattern elevates the track further still as it builds in relentless fashion. Dropping into a rousing finale, a hypnotic synth cadence and Eleonoras vocals combine with Luis and Unseeners original elements to create a masterpiece of modern Progressive House. Another gold standard, Luis León, Unseener and Eleonora have mined a powerful piece of electronic music in BTG, further bejewelled by Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccios 24-carat interpretation.

#39 Feat. Banner in Progressive House

In August 2024, Toronto-based duo Beije delivered a magical musical triptych in the shape of Ardere. As Proton Music returns to the EP, a pair of remixes from Brazilian and Sri Lankan talents now reimagines two of those tracks. A powerful force in South American Progressive and Organic House, Vinicius Souza has created a sizeable following through his RIGOONI moniker. Starting his production journey in 2018, the Brazilian star quickly found his way onto a host of noteworthy modern imprints that include the likes of Hicky & Kalos Plaisirs Sonores Records, Roger Martinezs HIGHER STATES and Nick Warrens The Soundgarden. Add to that a mentoring programme on his own Amesch imprint, a Beatport Organic House #1 spot and runner-up in a Sonic Academy Remix Contest, and it is not hard to see why RIGOONI is such a highly regarded figure in modern dance music. A trio of remixes for Proton Music have seen reworkings of Savvas, Trilucid and Dabeat in 2022 and 2023, as the São Paulo-based artist now returns for a fourth outing. Taking on the delightful Lumina, the RIGOONI remix drives easily forward courtesy of a compelling beat and light percussive touch. Evolving gently, elements from the original gradually come to the fore, accompanied by a developing palette of additional production material that always remains sensitive to the aural characteristics of Beijes work. Hitting its heights, post-breakdown, a gated synth sequence adds interest and dancefloor character, following the melodic patterns that made Lumina such a powerful original piece. A prolific and exciting talent, NOIYSE PROJECT, has quickly gone about ripping up the rulebook in search of a unique and defining Progressive House sound. Some 300 production credits later, and the Sri Lankan artist has seen his music become a staple of numerous well-established imprints. Thus, Mango Alley, UV Noir, Balkan Connection and AMITABHA have all played host to his well-defined sound, featuring heavily in their release schedules. Furthermore, his own Till The Sunrise imprint has been a regular home for a host of original music since late 2021. A pair of original tracks in Myth in Manaus and Naymaria both found their way onto Particles in 2019, as NOIYSE PROJECT now makes his Proton Music debut with a captivating rhythmic powerhouse. Taking the tribal drive of Impetus, the remix further extends the groove with a series of pitched effects and thumping kick. Evolving steadily, the melodic elements so central to the original gradually make their presence felt in an immaculately programmed dancefloor shell. Hypnotic and mesmeric in execution, the track takes on a whole new direction as NOIYSE PROJECT keeps the energy and vibrancy high throughout. Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc.
