In September 2021, Rudy provided Proton Music with a trademark 
display of beautiful melodies and sumptuous production values 
via his 3-track Substrate. Returning to the EP a pair of new 
remixes feature the talents of Turkish and Indian artists.

Erdi Irmak is a renowned figure across the Proton Music and 
Particles catalogues, accounting for over 60 production credits 
between the two labels. As prolific as he is talented, the 
Turkish artist has seen his Hidden Arcadia series become a 
regular source of evocative and powerful original music, backed 
by a series of high-profile remixes.

Returning to Proton after recent excursions on When We Dip XYZ, 
Songspire Records and Tale and Tone, the Erdi Irmak remix of 
Substrate is an immaculately crafted affair that engages through 
complex percussive arrangement before a swathe of new production 
material takes the melodic elements of the original and 
transforms them into an emotive new interpretation. String 
passages and rhythmic synth motifs create sumptuous counterpoint 
phrasing, while Rudy's central piano elements ripple and meander 
through the 7-minute piece with ease. The result is a track that 
showcases Erdi's skill, talent and technique in glorious 
harmonic technicolour.

Through his Weird Sound Dude moniker, Abhijith Hegde is an 
artist who has continued to develop a powerful production 
persona. Able to transcend the progressive house genre with his 
forays into organic house and a distinctive sound, Weird 
Sounding Dude is a name that has grown in stature and momentum 
with high-profile releases for the likes of Anjunadeep, 
Hoomidaas and Mango Alley.

Now making his Proton Music debut, the Weird Sounding Dude remix 
of Different Line immediately tantalises with a bright rolling 
groove and deep kick. Building in effortless fashion, an array 
of pads and textures are layered beneath an intelligently 
cadenced synth line. Using Rudy's piano elements to devastating 
effect, they flow through the second half to create a 
beautifully weighted melodic flow that encapsulates the themes 
of the original while showcasing Weird Sounding Dude's 
production credentials.

A pair of new remixes from Erdi Irmak and Weird Sounding Dude 
perfectly illustrate a plethora of stratified layers in Rudy's 
Substrate.
