             An artist with an impeccable production record, Saultloom 
             returns to Proton Music with his Aurora EP. With releases on the 
             likes of Hoomidaas, Manjumasi and Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas, 
             the Russian artist made an impressive Proton debut remixing 
             Michael A's Centaur in late 2017 as a twin-track original EP is 
             joined by a trio of remixes form a quintet of global artists. 
             The Aurora title track is thus a beautifully crafted piece that 
             floats across an 8-minute timeframe, anchored by heavy kick and 
             whip-cracking snare. A glorious array of meandering pads provide 
             texture in abundance as delicate arps and reverb-drenched piano 
             motifs supply a subtle melancholy that is revealed fully at the 
             breakdown and into a magical second half. Ethereal continues 
             Saultloom's penchant for haunting piano melodies as emotive 
             phrases wander across the 8-minute piece. Building underneath a 
             rolling percussive groove, a syncopated motif adds dancefloor 
             character while a clarinet sequence creates another wonderful 
             melodic layer before vocals and harmonious textures combine in 
             the third movement.

             German and South African pairing, LADS, have become a firm 
             favourite with the Proton faithful through their Miss Jean, 
             Hagel and Stoyote EPs, plus remixes for Dmitry Molosh, Imran 
             Khan and James Warren. Returning after seeing a quartet of 
             Stoyote remixes across both Particles and Proton Music, the LADS 
             remix of Ethereal is a typically innovative offering that 
             transforms the original by taking a key melodic element and 
             reworking it in entirely new directions. The result is an 
             immaculate interpretation that sees a club-friendly backdrop 
             combine with familiar motifs, haunting vocal textures and 
             additional production material to create a dynamic and 
             spine-tingling dancefloor gem.

             Chris Domingo and Eric Lune are a nascent artistic pairing. Both 
             successful artists in their own rights, Domingo has been a 
             regular contributor to Particles with his Azimuth and Lose 
             Control EPs with former production partner, Mariner, while Lune 
             has impressed with his work on Proton, not least through his 
             North to South EP with Golan Zocher and solo Airbag EP. 
             Combining for the first time on Proton Music, the Domingo + Eric 
             Lune remix is a powerful groover that dominates with elegantly 
             cadenced hi-hats and bassline sequence. Intelligently 
             reimagining elements from Saultloom's original, familiar themes 
             resonate across the 7-minute piece while a swathe of production 
             material and synth work creates an entirely new framework from 
             which Ethereal bounds and recoils within its new rhythmic 
             structure.

             London based, Erol Arda, can boast an impressive production 
             portfolio since 2018's debut for Kindisch. Going on to feature 
             for the likes of Dream Culture, Variety Music and Cervidae 
             Recordings, the English artist opens his Proton Music account 
             with a rich and evocative reworking of Aurora. Using Saultloom's 
             components to effortless effect, a pronounced kick propels the 
             track forward before the central motif is given a different 
             focus across a newly cadenced backdrop. Intelligent and 
             sensitively placed additional production material add to the 
             atmosphere in a delightful debut.

             Shining brightly a new Aurora forms over Saultloom intensified 
             with remixes from LADS, Domingo +, Eric Lune and Erol Arda.
