                          ............................

             A new label to enter the underground house milieu, Pillbox has a 
             set of 24-carat gold credentials from which to cast its net over 
             the global club scene. Owned and curated by Proton progenitor, 
             Sam Packer, the label's first release sees a track from German 
             and Lebanese talents. Remixes come from Australia and Germany.

             An artist with a rich electronic music history, Chris Zippel has 
             been immersed in the world of house since the age of 15. 
             Splitting his time between Berlin and Ibiza, the German artist 
             has taken centre stage with work alongside the Pet Shop Boys, 
             Robbie Williams, Jose Padilla and Steve Lawler. With music 
             signed to Ubersee Music, Allisum Records and GMJ and Matter's 
             Meanwhile Horizons, Zippel continues to grow in stature. A 
             rising star, renowned for her status as a leading Qanun player, 
             Ghenwa Nemnom has combined her love of the traditional Middle 
             Eastern instrument with an ability to use its unique sound in 
             the world of dance music and the organic house sound found on 
             such leading imprints as Caf De Anatolia, Alt Orient and Melody 
             of the Soul. Now joining forces for the first time, To Follow is 
             an extraordinary track that drifts enticingly with gently 
             rolling beat and deep 16th note sub bassline. In tandem, the 
             beautifully plucked sound of Nemnom's Quanun reveals itself in a 
             virtuoso performance. A whispering vocal phrase emerges at the 
             mid-point before ambient effects and subtly placed arpeggio 
             combine in the second half to spine-tingling and immaculately 
             crafted effect.

             Gavin Griffin needs no introduction to those familiar with the 
             progressive house sound of the past 5 years. A leading light in 
             the underground fraternity with his performance behind the decks 
             and near 500 production credits for the like of Anjunadeep, 
             Balance Music and Proton Music, the Australian artist continues 
             to push boundaries, defining the modern progressive sound. 
             Reworking To Follow, the GMJ remix is dripping in trademark 
             silky smooth melodies and rolling rhythmic underpinning. 
             Building imperceptibly, a vocal sample from Zippel and Nemnom's 
             original creates a melodic peg from which to hang a glorious 
             analogue synth motif. The cadenced phrase shimmers across the 
             stereo spectrum as layer of pads and counterpoint motifs create 
             an uplifting sonic experience. Using the fundamental harmonic 
             themes from To Follow, the track builds post-breakdown into a 
             glorious sonic collage that showcases GMJ's technique and talent 
             to the full.

             A seasoned producer with almost a decade's experience, Karlsruhe 
             born, Benjamin Landhuser, has music in his blood. Surrounded by 
             a family of artists and a leading light in the downtempo 
             fraternity, his Landhouse production soubriquet has seen a 
             double century of credits find their way onto a plethora of 
             esteemed imprints including Amselcom, WAYU Records and Leveldva. 
             Sprinkling his distinctive production touch over To Follow, a 
             delicate shaker-driven percussion lilts over the emotive 
             bassline progression from the original, while the vocal entwines 
             effortlessly with Landhouse's beautifully imagined synth lines 
             and wandering arpeggios. Rising and falling with ease, subtle 
             touches of Ghenwa Nemnom's Quanun are sampled and driven through 
             effects to create a unique aural atmosphere that evolves into 
             the second half.

             As Chris Zippel and Ghenwa Nemnom begin their Pillbox journey, 
             To Follow is led by forwarding thinking remixes from GMJ and 
             Landhouse.
