             A new artist moniker to grace the Particles catalogue, Dmitry 
             Molosh hits the ground running with his Maudlin alter-ego and 
             the twin-track, Trailway EP. Already seeing a pair of remixes 
             for Anton Ishutin and The Cobb feature on Pepper Cat and -102C, 
             Maudlin delivers a silky-smooth title track. Trailway blissfully 
             wends a magical path with a swathe of interwoven melodies 
             through keys, arpeggios and thickly textured pads. A strong kick 
             and ticking percussion provide dancefloor character while a 
             loquacious vocal line trips along elegantly, perfectly placed 
             within rhythmic and melodic elements. Awake continues a similar 
             rhythmic framework with rolling cadence paving the way for 
             sumptuous arpeggios and filtered motifs to blossom. Glorious 
             counterpoint strings add a melancholy air while meandering brass 
             and haunting lead line create a wistful character that rises and 
             falls with ease over the 7-minute duration.

             A Particles regular with a slew of original material which has 
             seen Twin Flames, Floating Moments and Light the Shades showcase 
             the Polish artist's work between 2018-2022, Rafa'EL now returns 
             to Particles with a typically impressive remix. A groove-laden 
             affair, Rafa'EL takes the melodic foundations of Trailway and 
             applies a panoply of production treatments and the introduction 
             of a powerful new bassline sequence. Familiar vocal lines make 
             their presence felt as they are cut and laden with effects 
             before a new lead drives Rafa'EL's remix in a dramatic new 
             direction.

             A Colombian star who has become a staple on Proton Music with 
             his collaborative work alongside Kamilo Sanclemente and his own 
             Equilibrium EP in May 2022, Dabeat is a welcome Particles 
             returnee after an appearance on the seasonal Winter 2019 
             compilation with Beyond the Stars. Reworking Awake, the Dabeat 
             remix is a richly textured affair with a Latin groove and 
             immaculately syncopated synth phrasing. Making effortless use of 
             the core melodies found in Maudlin's original, they are 
             transformed with ease into a flowing and perfectly observed 
             progressive house gem.

             Michael Chihaka has become a Particles favourite with his score 
             of production credits that include the Nyara, Pinda and Ndariska 
             EPs between 2019 and 2021. Now returning for a fifth remix after 
             reworkings of Pole Folder, Ric Niels and most recently, about : 
             river in mid-2021, the Chihaka remix of Trailway makes 
             imaginative use of the vocal lines so integral to Maudlin's 
             track. Cut, repeated and filtered, their use sits perfectly 
             within a rapid-fire percussive top line and delicate melodic bed 
             that captures the essence of the original while extending it in 
             new and vibrant directions that blossom post-breakdown.

             A pair of original tracks combined with a trio of wonderful 
             remixes find Maudlin on a magical voyage of discovery via 
             Trailway.
