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

             Hailing from historic port city of Gdansk, Tuxedo has been a 
             regular contributor to the Particles catalogue stretching back 
             to a debut a decade ago. During that time, remixes for the likes 
             of Tvardovsky, Erdi Irmak and Monojoke have been complemented by 
             June 2013's 3-track Destinations EP, plus appearances on the 
             seasonal compilation series. As he now returns to Particles, 
             Tuxedo once again showcases his talent through the twin-track 
             Phantasma EP.

             Opening proceedings, Motion Blur shimmers courtesy of an 
             immaculate percussive top-line redolent in offbeat hats and 
             ticking shakers. A syncopated melody contributes to the rhythmic 
             framework as freeform organic motifs wander atop unencumbered. 
             Beautiful piano phrases flow alongside detuned plucked strings 
             and thickly textured pads. Phantasma is a bouncing bassline gem 
             that pushes forward with dancefloor urgency as a rapid-fire 
             percussion provides the perfect foundation for glorious melodies 
             to pan the stereo spectrum in layers of strings, synths and 
             arpeggiated sequence that make their presence felt at the 
             mid-point. Rising to a crescendo, the third movement picks up 
             the pace again with a springtime feelgood vibe in full evidence.

             An iconic Glasgow born artist, now firmly ensconced in his 
             adopted Barcelona home, Funk D'Void is a name synonymous with a 
             plethora of high-profile releases stretching back over a career 
             three decades long. A renowned DJ with performances and 
             residencies across the globe at the most prestigious clubs, a 
             production career in tandem has seen releases on Bedrock, 
             Toolroom and Soma Records plus remixes for Underworld, New Order 
             and Stephan Bodzin. Making his Particles debut, the Fund D'Void 
             remix is a pulsating driver that builds around a hypnotic 
             cadence and deep house chord structure. New motifs evolve out of 
             Tuxedo's melodies panning the stereo spectrum with gentle ease. 
             A smooth bassline groove adds to the deep flavour as 
             free-flowing motifs marry with heavy beat, 808 clap and shuffled 
             percussion into the second half.

             Kobana is a name with a strong bond to the Proton family. A firm 
             favourite with an abundance of original work, the Polish star 
             began his Particles career with a bevy of dance favourites in 
             the early part of the 2010's with his co-production work 
             alongside Yane3dots and Mario Hatchet plus sparkling solo 
             tracks. Behind the Mirror, BN2 1TW and Reload all hit the 
             virtual shelves in 2011 before Kobana once again returned to the 
             label to remix Gux Jimenez in mid-2021. Now remixing his fellow 
             countryman, the Kobana reworking of Phantasma is a stellar 
             rhythmic groover that makes intelligent use of the melodic 
             themes central to Tuxedo's work while giving them an entirely 
             new sonic treatment that takes the track in different 
             directions. A powerfully cadenced bassline sits inside a thick 
             and crispy shell as rippling arpeggios and motifs filter in and 
             out across the 4-minute piece.

             With ethereal presence, Tuxedo finds his Phantasma given further 
             authority courtesy of remixes from Funk D'Void and Kobana.
