             Gaston Ponte is an artist with a rapidly growing reputation 
             within the progressive house community. A Buenos Aires native, 
             Ponte has quickly found his feet with a plethora or original and 
             remix production material dating back to a late 2018 debut for 
             Clinique Recordings. Since then, the Argentinean artist has not 
             looked back with over a century of credits for the likes of 
             Balkan Connection, Or Two Strangers and Asymmetric Recordings. A 
             remix of Andrea Cassino and Lio Q's Asante saw a Proton Music 
             debut in October 2021 as Gaston Ponte now debuts on Particles 
             with the tension filled Accelerated. A driving rhythmic 
             foundation and machine gun hi-hats fire across the percussive 
             top line while a combination of searing synth swells, 
             free-flowing melodies and 303-tinged arpeggio swirl across the 
             8-minute piece. Reaching a rousing crescendo at the breakdown, a 
             drop down to the bass-heavy, rhythmic bedrock then sees the 
             melodic collage once again build to a dynamic finale.

             Simos Tagias has been at the vanguard of the progressive house 
             scene for almost a decade. Some 400 production credits later, 
             the Greek icon has found himself a regular on Proton Music with 
             such gems as the Airlock and Audacity EPs. 2014 saw a Particles 
             debut followed by a flurry of releases including December's 
             Drunk State. Remixes for Jelly For the Babies, Antrim and James 
             Monro have added to his reputation as Simos Tagias returns with 
             a 24-carat remix that builds on the central pillars of 
             Accelerated and transforms them via a swathe of new production 
             material. A deep, rolling groove and beautifully sculpted 
             arpeggio finds itself the perfect vehicle for Gaston Ponte's 
             synthscapes to flow across the stereo spectrum, while Simos' 
             unrivalled ability to create a cutting-edge progressive house 
             floor-filler ensures that the track is destined for success and 
             support from the DJ elite.

             Balad is a name that has been synonymous with a deep and organic 
             house sound that has found itself much in-demand since 
             originally finding favour on the likes of Parquet Recordings in 
             late 2017. Going on to feature on the likes of Natura Viva, 
             Global Underground and Armen Miren's Hoomidaas, the Australian 
             based artist has found himself supported by such star-studded 
             names as Lane 8, Nick Warren and Yotto. Now bringing his 
             production talent to Particles, the Balad remix of Accelerated 
             harnesses the melancholic, emotional and beautiful 
             characteristics for which his music has become so synonymous. 
             Waxing and waning elegantly via thumping beat and crisp hi-hat 
             patterns, smooth melodies pulsate gently across the near 
             8-minute piece. Chock full of additional production material and 
             new harmonies, sparkling arpeggios blend with glass plucks and 
             filtered analogue stabs. Sensitively retaining the fundamental 
             character of Gaston Ponte's work, Balad has inspired a new 
             interpretation that is as beautiful as it exquisitely crafted.

             Speeding smoothly forward with remixes from Simos Tagias and 
             Balad, Gaston Ponte has seen success Accelerated at rapid pace.
