A new artist partnership to grace the Proton Music catalogue, TOBO & Baksta join forces on "Dreamer". A pair of remixes come courtesy of the iconic Nick Muir and progressive heavyweight, Dave Leck. Australian duo, TOBO & Baksta have been staples of the club and festival circuit around their homeland. Originally from Cairns in Northern Queensland, the duo have lit up the stage at the St Kilda and Comfort Creek Festivals in Victoria and at Skypark in their hometown. As part of the DEPTH roster, the duo has been creating cinematic experiences in some of Australia's breathtaking natural locations. A nascent production career has seen production work hit the likes of Smash Bang Records and Recovery Collective, as TOBO & Baksta now debut on Proton Music. "Dreamer" is a beautifully constructed Progressive House track that revels in a deep chord progression against a hefty kick and delicate percussive top-line. Rising and falling with ease, space is made for the free-flowing melody to evolve as counterpoint synth lines and growling bassline come to the fore in the second half to create a subtle energy and melodic dynamism. A renowned and hugely respected figure in the history of underground dance music, Nick Muir became a household name after his work with John Digweed under the Bedrock name and almost 300 credits on Digweed's label of the same name. After appearing on Danny Boyle's "Trainspotting" soundtrack, and with production credits for club classics like "Heaven Scent" and "Emerald" to his name, Nick's work for Proton Music has continued to grow. Original EPs in the shape of 2023's "All One Word" and October 2025's "Eyes Up" have been supported by remixes for Rick Pier O'Neil, Sebastian Sellares, Eric Lune and Luke Mandala, seeing the UK artist continue to reach the upper echelons of modern Progressive House. With his trademark retro vibe, the Nick Muir remix of "Dreamer" takes the central melodic chords of the original and creates an effortless deep house cadence that meanders delicately across its 7-minute duration. A hefty bassline groove adds club-friendly vibrancy in another interpretation that showcases the UK star's versatility. Melbourne-resident, Dave Leck sees music at the very centre of his life. An artist with a double century of credits, his work for Soundteller, 3rd Avenue and Emotional Content Recordings have shown a mature production sound, while work for Particles has witnessed a quartet of original EPs through "Stardust", "Primal Connection", "Elevate" and "Opal", plus remixes from GMJ & Matter and Kamilo Sanclemente. Remixing Nick Muir's "Eyes Up" for Proton Music in October 2025 was another notable career highlight as Dave Leck takes "Dreamer" on a suitably high-calibre journey through hallmark progressive soundscapes. Full of rhythmic verve, familiar melodies glisten and shine above a rolling percussive groove and deep, resonant kick. A syncopated bassline pattern adds further depth and dynamism before pulsating pads and a beautifully textured landscape reach new heights in a second half to showcase Leck's considerable skillset. "Dreamer" sees TOBO & Baksta create a vision of rare melodic beauty, ably supported with remixes from Nick Muir and Dave Leck. Directed by Jay Epoch Mastered by Cid Inc.
