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

             An artist with a rich musical catalogue to his name stretching 
             back almost 15 years, David Molano is well-established through 
             his Dabeat production pseudonym. With music signed to the likes 
             of Timeless Moment, Mango Alley and BeatFreak Recordings, his 
             work with Kamilo Sanclemente on Proton Music has produced a 
             clutch of impressive releases, not least on his contribution to 
             Beyond the Future, Vol. 1 and the 6 original tracks. Now making 
             his solo debut, the 3-track Equilibrium EP showcases Dabeat's 
             distinctive production work.

             Opening proceedings, Cauac powers forward with driving beat and 
             offbeat hi-hats while a muted arpeggio filters into sonic range. 
             Hypnotically rising and falling, atmospheric synth layers arrive 
             at the breakdown before new melodies ripple across the second 
             half with grace and poise. Equilibrium continues the rich 
             rhythmic backdrop as a delightful bass groove enters the fray, 
             accompanied a smooth array of pads and arpeggio. The resultant 
             combination is a joy to behold as counterpoint motifs combine 
             with a vocoded vocal phrase to provide a light and airy feel. 
             The third track finds Torus making its mark with meticulously 
             programmed groove and ticking percussing top-line. A smooth 
             analogue synth line appears in gloriously distorted fashion, 
             captivating attention as it meanders across the near 8-minute 
             piece. New melodies make their presence felt as the track 
             progresses in a dynamic and creative environment.

             On remix duties, Subandrio Sinhawansa is a name synonymous with 
             quality. An award-winning Middle East DJ of the year, the 
             Colombo based producer has ridden a wave of success with his 
             music on Juicebox Music, Perspectives Digital and Sudbeat Music. 
             A sextet of remixes for Proton Music has seen the Sri Lankan 
             star provide moments of sonic joy with his reworkings of Andre 
             Sobota, Juan Deminicis and Trilucid, as the Subandrio remix of 
             Torus builds menacingly from a glorious bassline groove and 
             syncopated rolling percussion. Familiar melodies from Dabeat's 
             original soon make an appearance but it is through Subandrio's 
             glorious musical expression that new melodic patterns and 
             sequences create their own sonic story. Flowing in atmospheric 
             vein across nearly 10 minutes, a deep and rich sonic journey 
             reveals itself to find Subandrio at the top of his production 
             game.

             Subconscious Tales is another name familiar to the Proton 
             faithful. Having recently released his Experience EP in April 
             2022, the Latvian artist has contributed to a raft of other 
             original material that includes July 2019's Magnectares and 
             December 2020's Soulreaper. Remixes of David Calo and Soulwerk 
             are now followed by a third which sees a typically vibrant 
             reworking of Cauac. Built upon whip-cracking kick and fizzing 
             percussive intent, a dynamic bassline groove fills the low-end 
             before a new arpeggio referencing the Dabeat original fills the 
             stereo spectrum. Evolving with ease, familiar refrains blend 
             through production material from the Subconscious Tales studio 
             in glorious analogue glory. The result is a typically 
             high-quality production.

             Reaching a glorious state of Equilibrium, original music from 
             Dabeat is joined by sublime remixes from Subandrio and 
             Subconscious Tales.
