             Back for a further edition of his long-running series, Erdi 
             Irmak provides listeners with a trio of new original tracks 
             courtesy of his Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 7. 

             Opener, Mirai is a silky smooth melodic gem that revolves around 
             a delicately rolling rhythmic groove. Evolving elegantly, 
             filtered melodies come to the sonic foreground where strings, 
             piano and synth combine in melancholic majesty. Breathy vocals 
             add a further wonderful touch in a track full of poise and 
             creativity. Sonzai builds on the intelligent groove of its 
             predecessor as rich piano chords create an air of sadness, 
             complemented by a meandering string section. An acoustic guitar 
             hook adds to the collage as the hypnotic rhythm section and 
             heavy beat drive the track dynamically forwards. The third 
             original track continues the musical narrative with a balance of 
             muted synths and organic instrumentation through Sekai. Clever 
             answer and call phrases make their presence felt as a sustained 
             string section adds depth and texture before a strong synth 
             phrase cuts through the mid-range. The subtle development of 
             melodic layers and hypnotic rhythm thus provide a unique and 
             atmospheric piece.

             A Peruvian artist of growing repute, Luis Lon is a master of 
             cross-genre sounds that range between house, techno and ambient. 
             Finding his music featured on such established imprints as 
             Stripped Recordings, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Kindisch, a late 
             2021 Particles debut saw a remix of Jayden Klight's Refraction 
             in collaboration with Haider Uppal. Now debuting on Proton 
             Music, the Luis Lon remix of In Depth from Volume 6, makes 
             exceptional use of a cluster of atmospheric and effected voices, 
             while a chunky stepped rhythm provides a powerful anchor. A 
             legato bassline adds depth while subtly pitched motifs and 
             staccato synths add to the feel. Opening up in the second half, 
             familiar motifs from Erdi Irmak's original can be heard but they 
             are immaculately reinterpreted in new sonic directions with Luis 
             Lon creating a powerful new interpretation.

             An artist whose performances across the globe at the likes of 
             Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle and the prestigious Rainbow 
             Serpent Festival, have seen amhin delight audiences time and 
             again. Simultaneously, the Irishman has seen a parallel rise to 
             prominence through his production work for a host of labels 
             including Meanwhile, Vapour Recordings and onedotsixtwo. A 
             single remix for Proton Music in the shape of Michael A's Silent 
             Moments is now joined by a delicate reworking of Walls that is a 
             flowing river of sound from the dark, rolling bassine 
             undercurrents to the delicate synth ripples that meander across 
             the surface with consummate ease. Anchored by a heavy beat and 
             metronomic hi-hat pattern, amhin's skill is to majestically 
             weave elements from Erdi Irmak's Walls into a cascading stream 
             of new melodic elements that shimmer and sparkle through opulent 
             delays and reverbs.

             A musical maestro, Erdi Irmak provides a trio of new tracks with 
             remixes coming from Luis Lon and amhin in Hidden Arcadia, Vol. 7.
